[quote]a related idea I think would be valid and perhaps acceptable would be "fleet tenders" which could serve two purposes. [/quote] Chuck in some kind of fleet maintenance reducing component for ToA and you're pretty much there.
[quote] i'm sorry but if u give up after playing 5 hours then the problem is with you and not with the game. [/quote] The "Runtime requested termination in an abnormal manner" after I play for about 1.5 hours, generally just when my Siege Frigates are preparing to turn the enemy capital into space dust. If the AI gives up after an hour and a half it's only fair he's allowed to quit when getting thrashed too :P
I had the same problems, but there's a couple of things which can help: Build a capital shipyard ASAP. The first capital ship is free, and it's more than a match for anything the AI can throw at you for some time. It'll take most neutrals (especially the ones around neutral/unclaimed gravity wells) alone, and doing so helps boost it's experience. Economy wise it's usually a shortage of a single resource that's the problem. Most of the time I end up with barely any metal, but an ov
I've not had a problem with the siege frigates myself. Saw around 10 attack my capital last night, they flew past the turrets but two regular frigates and two bomber squads managed to wipe them out, though not before my capital was down to double figure health points. I do think the AI has too much dependency on the frigates though. I had a carrier Capital Ship in his capital system using bomber squads to harass his facilities (just waiting for my own siege frigate fleet to arrive) an
[quote] Frankly a lot of the problems with new games running slowly have less to do with the state of hardware and more to do with sloppy coding. [/quote] It's nothing to do with sloppy coding, barring the relatively new OS to get to grips with. It's simply that the game market (at least the traditional high graphics stuff like FPS's) has moved away from graphics as the demanding feature (you can thank the consoles for that). To bring up your example; COD4 i
One thing I'm not thrilled about is the mutilation of the Fallout series by Bethesda. PCG had a preview this month having been able to play the game. Apparently, all the worry is for nothing (it seems all Bethesda have really done with the overall theme is add in a little bit more 'Mad Max' for the East coast). The only problem they highlighted was the VATS combat system, which may or may not work. Oh, and for those shouting about it, Spee
The problem being, those people listing it on Ebay should be perfectly aware that the serial is needed for the game to work. It's those guys you really want to be complaining about.
Hmph, I go away for two days and we end up in a creationism vs evolution debate. Indeed, but unless you believe in a creator or magic, they just don't appear out of nowhere. The current hypothesis for the emergence of new traits is, AFAIK, mutations. Unfortunately, mutations often cause a greater loss of information than gain, so it's a questionable explanation at best. Depends on the mutations. Also, define 'information loss'. If anyt
I'm actually talking about the idea that single cell organisms eventually changed over a long period of time to become the species we know today, including humans - and yes, mutations are required for this. Ah, I see what you mean. The theory basis itself on the assumption that all life ultimately derives from a single common ancestor, which is not necessarily true (gets into the various theories of arbiogenesis though, and I'm no expert there) .<br
Maybe they were traded the ship? Opens up an interesting avenue actually. If you give a minor race colonisers, would they use them? Could come in handy...
True, I'm not a "literalist" in the most literal sense of the word . When "science" and scripture seem to conflict, however, it becomes a question of which one to prefer as the more reliable source. Unless you do adhere to a literal reading of the bible, then there's little conflict between it an
It would help if you explained what exactly you're having the problem with
In addition, I do agree that there may be issues with translations and between different manuscripts - however, the difference are usually obvious, and none of them are large enough to change the basis of our faith as far as I know. It wouldn't affect your faith unless you're a literalist. Genesis for example has signs of alteration (you can tell through the verse structure, notably the relation between the part of God seeing whatever he's done
You haven't shown that "I" is actually just simply a "noise". So, despite the fact that your sense of self, personality and pretty much everything else entwined into what makes the mental 'you'is provably and indisputably affected by occurences in the brain, it is not therefore a property of the brain? Even assuming there was a soul which carried on after death, would the fact that our self is dependent, even in part, on the physical brain not
the point of the "knob" metaphor is to point out that those "settings" must hav been placed or set by something intelligent, I know. My point was that is not the case. but its to show that the creation of the universe could not hav been a cause of a series of accidents............even simple highschool science can prove that..... No it can't. Furthermore it wasn't a series of accidents, unless one
now the universe (metaphoricaly of course) has each and every knob set to a specific settting, and if one SINGLE knob goes a tad out of sync, the whole thing is messed up so there has to be SOME intelligence behind life and all............ Not necessarily. There's three problems with that logic: 1. We don't know how strict those settings are. It could be that any setting would result in the same universe eventually, or it might require
i didn't say otherwise, and it's equally repulsive among religious people. No, but the highlighting of Athiesm and Christianity tends to point towards an 'Us vs Them' type of mentality, which tends to contribute to the problem I see it as a quirk of human nature which we all tend towards (knowingly or not), even if not all of us take it to the extreme.
That Civ theme song, Baba Yetu, is The Lords Prayer in Swahili - I love it, it has a great catchy feel to it and the African Harmony in it is superb. Most of the Civ 4 music is superb. Bit of a problem sometimes - I nearly always implement State Property just for that "The People Are The Heroes" song, despite the fact that it's not always the best civic...
So you believe your "Self awareness" is just a noise. As I said earlier, you can prove with a simple magnetic experiment that this is the case. Isolate the frontal lobe activity from the rest of the brain and it results in a detachment between your self and the rest of the body. Would be an amazing co-incidence for your sense of self to just happen to go on a wonder when the magnets were placed... Also I like how
I only exist becasue I have an exact electrical field generated in my brain (which for some darn reason, "I" happen to equate to the electrical field generated in a now 26 year old white male body). No, there is no you independent of that electrical field to equate to anything. You are the electrical field, and the electrical field is you. how was "I" (whatever "I" is) equated or "chosen" to this electrical fiel
Well, as I said before, my knowledge on the subject is very hazy. It's second hand knowledge (I heard it from somebody who read it, so I guess that would make it third hand... creepy). I was not implying that this is what I believe. I was just thinking out... well, loud. Playing around with a concept. It's more a philosophical issue than a scientific one. If you can no longer affect the world around you in any way, then d
Europe wants to be a USA with it's EU. But the problem with Europe is that is has too much history and tradition, thus refuse to imagine a European with 50% nonwhites. Thus they tend to limit immigration, they even have "immigrant districts" in some of their countries. Wow, some of you yankees have bizzarre ideas of what it's like over here! The EU has no united immigration policy. EU members have an open borders policy, which means as an
For some darn reason, I am Stanley Aaron Tarrant born on January 10, 1981 on an air force base in Turkey. Are you, or do you just think you are? How do you know you're not Emily Brown, a 22 year old Scottish Housewife who is simply dreaming that she is in fact Stanley Tarrant? Aeithesists answer this question: why exactly am I Stan Tarrant? You've asked a multitude of questions there, I'm not
Faith is corrosive to the human mind. If someone genuinely believes that it is right to believe things without reason or evidence then they are open to every kind of dogma, whim, coercion, or dangerous infectious idea that's around. We all believe in things without reason, whether it's winning the lottery or that your team will win the championship. Religion just takes it a step further than most. The problem is that approaching from the opposite si
Is it released now? Last time I checked it was delayed. Again. If it's out, I should get it shortly.
