Oh, and Im guessing your a fan of David Icke. Don't even know of whom you speak, but I guess since I run in those 'conspiracy circles' as you seem to want to label me since I speak out against our government or anyone else who is trying to deceive the people I should have his name tattooed to my ass or something right? You are obviously looking to do nothing more than belittle me/this topic instead of actually debating the possibilities. You also s

so they can bring forth revelations? Lol. I didn't have time to respond to this one. Have you looked around lately? If you have then you know about these overzealous Christians who are sending fists full of money to Israel in the efforts to bring about the end of the world don't you? There's no conspiracy theory behind this well known fact as I am sure others at this forum can clarify and confirm this fact for me. So I guess it would go to show that you

Im starting to think Storm Bringer is gullable, and believes all those conspiracy theorists cause they give "proof." So I ask, do you believe in the Illuminati, a group made up of almost all world leaders, and rich families, that breed amongst themselves to guarentee they remain in power, so they can bring forth revelations? Lol. Gullable? Highly doubtful, but then you would actually have to know me to believe this. Do I believe that people who were ric

I have 512 MB RAM and I haven't had any problems, well so far anyways. Comments like this are what baffle me. Are you finishing this game in as little turns as possible? I have wondered if my play style isn't what hinders me and possibly adds to the memory issues and CTD's. What I mean to say is that I like to play long and drawn out games if possible, mainly because I enjoy reaching the end of the tech tree and getting the opportunity to use all of the

are you one of the people that think Hallibuton blew up the World Trade Center to raise their stock prices? Yes, as a matter of fact, I am one of those people and proud of it. As far as 'rewriting history', I never claimed I was trying to. I was taught from all of the same books that you were and believed the same things you do, at one time. Since then I began to research other history 'sources' and found many contradictions to what I'd been taught

I honestly dont give a damn if some "innocents" die, cause they surely dont care if they kill our citizens. Do you know this? Have you met these people who would do you harm, as you say they would? Do you ever think that maybe they are just as 'fleeced' as we are by their own governments, the same way our government/media lies and feeds us propaganda daily? If you haven't 'met' these people then you should really find another way to form your opi

your memory issue haven't been addressed, while "improvements" are being made constantly in other areas. Not to be rude here, but it seems that the 'bulk' of many player's issues is in fact the 'memory issue'. Although I love a good argument I will yield to what you say as far as the 'difficulty' involved in programming/tracking bugs so that there will be no issues, but nonetheless, it must be said that the memory problems far outweigh some of the 'min

So what war that happened 3 centuries ago was more just than ANY after that? You 'misread' what I was saying to a degree. This idea that war is glorious, that being a soldier makes someone 'honorable and courageous'... who came up with that? Probably some romantic writing a novel or a spin doctor trying to get the civilians to rally around the troops. War is a horrible thing, sometimes necessary (at least the way we as a species have been led to believe

there WERE WMD's, at some point The irony in all of this is no one ever stops to look at the weapons that the US has. We have nukes, biological, and chemical weapons out the yin-yang, not to mention all of those uber-exotic weapons that are less known. What are these? Are these not WMD's in every sense of the term? I know, I know, we need them to secure peace throughout the world and defend our precious homeland from foreign invaders... And for any

FreeRAM is also a good RAM utility as well, and of course being free always helps. I've posted elsewhere that I pretty much do the same as you do, only I have it set to free at 256mb... not a big difference really. I do get a game lag when the program frees up the RAM but it's no big deal unless I'm trying to squeeze out a huge/gigantic galaxy. Then the lag time rises a good deal. I'm going to try out the program you're running and see if there's any difference in performance. Oh, BTW, it

1) Should we have allowed Saddam Hussein to stay in power? The rape of a country is acceptable as long as the country rapes itself? How is that a good choice? Granted, we have not found a solution, but... What right do we have to tell any country how to rule within it's own borders? As far as "rape of a country" talk, the death toll and 'raping' of the civilian population under occupied forces far outnumbers what it was/would have been under a Hussein l

Also, some ships are there, but they do not go to their stylized 2D Icons - instead they stay at 3D - and are so tiny you cannot see them until you zoom in again to 3D view. Ditto for me here as well. Not a big deal really, but if you don't watch where you park a few ships...

Both games I had virtually no military to speak of and even when I did, I believe I was still ranked third or fourth out of nine. It could very well just be me but that's why I asked for other input and maybe someone else trying the same thing I am doing... just to see. Maybe it is m

Those who are getting this issue, what version of the game are you running? I'm running the 1.6 beta or whatever it is that Brad posted in the zip file. I don't get the out of memory error, but only because of running FreeRAM I suppose. It just doesn't seem like the memory is 'freeing' itself up, if it's supposed to do so that is. And the opening screen says 1.6 beta so I know it took.

FYI, no software under windows 32 bits can use more than 2GB. Every software running added together can use more, but ONE software can't get higher than 2GB alone (either swap or physical or a mix of both) Thanks for the tip, but others with more physical memory have observed DA using up to a gig and a half of physical RAM, which to me is quite a lot for one program. Regardless, something within the software itself has to be suspect because NO game I lo

Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering if this is only happening on "gigantic" maps. Anyone heard of it happening on less than gigantic playing areas? After exhaustive attempts on different galaxy sizes I can only say this... something within the game is using RAM like there's no tomorrow and it doesn't free itself up. I've resorted to using FreeRAM while playing, both to 'free the RAM' as well as to track what's going on with my second monitor. For examp

Okay, so over the weekend I was able to 'squeeze' in two games of DA and while doing so noticed something that I hadn't seen before. First, the settings... Medium galaxy/all abundant/scattered/nine majors/eight minors/normal diff/conquest victory/no tech trading/mega events on/fast tech... I play using a custom race, and this was the 1.6 Beta or whatever it is that Brad posted in the zipfile. In both games I tried something totally different with regards to my research, both times tot

so you want to kill someone just becouse your not making the money you want to at work Not necessarily... but it would 'seem' that way. The money part, well, I could make a million dollars a year but if I had to go through what I do now every single day... my attitude would still be the same. We were given life to enjoy it and better the lives of our fellow men... not to make oil companies, electric companies, and just about every other 'company' rich.

Thanks, but i think you missed my quote on letting people in!! lol - No, I saw that part and totally agree with you. My grandfather was one of the most 'courteous' drivers I knew, always letting someone in, or allowing them to turn across traffic... whatever it was, he let the other driver go first. When I started driving I used to do the same as he did, thinking I was spreading some 'good karma' or something like that. But after time it seemed that pe
