Sanjaya for Pres in 2008! You know, it is kind of scary to think that you actually know a contestant's name Oz... if that is what "Sanjaya" is of course. As you can tell I would rather have my remote pried from my cold dead hand than watch 'American Idol', or any of those other 'reality' shows or whatever the hell they are. My time could be better spent scratching my retina with a knitting needle.
Since I always play with a custom race I try to mix my abilities up from time to time but I ALWAYS use the max economy and production bonuses and when possible throw the luck ability in as well. Time for some changes though as wins are still a 'little difficult'. That's the beauty of this game though... it's replay value.
The Ctrl+N tends to reset the AI when you use it. > See, now something like this never happens to me. This is what baffles me about this game... to see similar 'issues' but then to find out that even though someone else may be having those same issues, they or you may be having an entirely different set of things going on. I can Ctrl+N all day long and the intelligence stays set where I had it. Can I play without memory write issues and CTD's... not u
To respond to your comments PitSnipe... I am an 'American' and do live in the USA. I have never said that one party is more guilty than the other, at least I don't recall doing so but that's bad memory on my part . I see it as the 'David and Goliath' syndrome, which is my view on the situation. Israel is obviously Goliath. I will 'always' side with the underdog on a matter of personal principle
and what specific card do you recommend? Just to comment on this since I didn't read anything pertaining to it in anyone else's reply (sorry if I missed something) but the best bet when buying a graphics card is nVidia, preferably under the evga brand name. Obviously, as Mumblefratz pointed out, the 7900/7950 cards, preferably in the GT flavor vs. the GS models (don't ask me why but I go for the GT's while the GS has a strong following as well, guess it
Thomas Jefferson wanted the people to "keep and bear arms" because he felt that another revolution would be neccessary one day. Maybe that is what it will take for election reform. If this ever happened I wouldn't know what to do. On the one hand I would gladly take up arms against the system and deal with all who oppose me with swift and deadly action... probably more than would be necessary, which would be the sinister, kill 'em all side of me that I
Candidates don't have to be Republican, Democrat or even Independent, they can be whatever they want and run for any office. I don't know how you can get any more "free" than that. [Captain] [5 Game Winner] [Drath] [Over 15 Battles] [Neutral] [Challenging] Yes, you are quite right that candidates can be from any party that they choose. Where things aren't so fair is the LARGE amounts of money that are requi
1) AMD 2) nVidia 3) Asus 4) SLI capability is only necessary if you are going to run two graphics cards. I myself don't play any games that would require that level of graphics but then some people just like to have the best bang they can get for their money. Just make sure the mobo has TWO PCI-e slots for just this reason (my Asus mobo only has one... ). The only other recommendation I
moreover, the U.S. has historically destroyed democratically elected socialisms and upheld despotic capitalisms. so what is our government really doing? Ahhh, yet another voice of reason. Well put, well put. I think this is the number one reason my opinions against my country/government are as strong as they are. People seem to think that I am somehow 'against' democracy, but I am not. I believe most Americans today believe that our country runs under a
Why Olmert was included i haven't a clue, seems your forgetting all that Israel has given up to the palestinians to try and secure peace. You also seem to be forgetting all the palenstinians that have blown themselves up( along with quite a few israeli's). That makes them kinda dangerous in my humble opinion. I think I'm going to puke all over my keyboard over that one. I just love how Israel always comes off as the 'victim' in all of this. First off, j
Probably, but at this point a good leader in my book would be one that could get both parties to sit down with each other, without bickering, and actually *gasp* get something done. High hopes I know, but maybe someday. [Fleet Captain] [First Place Empire] [5 Game Winner] [20 Game Winner] [Custom] [Over 15 Battles] [Very Evil] [Painful] We need to take money out of the political process if we are to ever have a candidate worthy of being voted into
"Man is not born knowing hate, prejudice and intolerance... man learns these traits" I seem to remember this as being a quote (or close to it anyways) but I can't remember it word for word nor who said it. It does seem to sum things up nicely though for it is usually these three things alone which cause conflicts among us. Just thought I'd throw something random in here.
George Bush?? I am fairly certain Osama bin ladan would kill me without hesitation if I was in the same room as him, where as George Busch won't. Pretty sure on that one. Well, I feel sorry for you if you're in a room with 'ole Georgy boy. At least if Osama kills you it should be fairly quick. Bush would just drone on and on until your brain would ooze out of your ears, a slow and painful death, like a cockroach after a Raid cocktail. <img src="htt
I know you were in a hurry, Stormbringer, but what freedoms have we lost? I think that this country has been very aware of the freedoms we have, and very vocal about restrictions on them. You'll probably bring up the Patriot Act. I think that is probably too restrictive, but at least there was a time limit on it. Are there other examples you can think of? You got me on that one Oz as I have no way to reference sources to give examples. The Patriot
So what is an appropriate response to evil? I'll bite on this one since it's a quick answer (and it will drive all of you guys nuts!). The appropriate response to evil is to do as Jesus did... show love, compassion and understanding. Turn away from the violence and make your enemy your family. So when you're done laughing at that one answer mine... is acting evil towards evil really accomplishing anything or are we just lowering ourselves to their
I like that idea. But since you get the most out of trade routes based on their length and the planet of origin (not sure if its based on population or PQ or whatever). In so instances the planet where you would build the trade items isnt going to be this planet. Here's where most of you guys get into the game and the stats waaaaaay more than I do. My main reason for researching the 'trade' items in the first place usually isn't for the bonus that come
Why? There's no connection between the planet a trade good is built on and your revenue from trade. Trade goods aren't really even traded, unless you choose to do so in the diplomacy screen. I'll step in and answer even though I didn't make the comment. I think it has more to do with the 'realism' of having a dedicated 'trade' planet or two. I myself do this, even though I know that something such as Harmony Crystals is not actually being 'placed' on th
I'm grumpy that I am sitting at work right now. I'm grumpy that I still get CTD's... I'm grumpy that I can't have my RAM next day delivered (just purchased some OCZ Platinum series RAM on Newegg last night and I just can't wait... two more gigs, yahoo!) I'm extremely grumpy over the weather here in the southwestern PA area... WTF!?! It seems like we get 10 months of winter followed by one
I agree with three out of five on your list. I personally would remove Osama from the get go as I feel that he is nothing more than a patsy, used throughout all of this by our government as the 'figurehead' of terrorism. Whether or not Osama is a willing participant in all of this I cannot say for sure. Regardless, being someone's lackey does not make me fear you. Putin is an enigma to me. I admit that I haven't followed up on him for quite a while so forgive me for my lack of 'current' kn
Intelligent debate is crucial here. Yes, we need to defend the country, but rights that we give up are rights my kids may not get back. What say you, Stormbringer? I feel the same way. Once they're gone, they're gone... kind of like the PA Turnpike project. Yeah, everyone was told that it would be a 'toll road' long enough to pay off the cost of construction. But guess what. It's still a toll road and the 'costs' were paid off years ago. Oh, and the tol
lucky for me, i usually build counter-espionage centers. Yes, and this was the part where I was truly naive I guess since the first time the event happened to me I immediately set to rush buying the counter espionage center... only to realize that it doesn't affect spies that are already placed (if it's supposed to then the feature doesn't seem to work). Talk about wasted money and effort. I should have known better but like I said, I was new to the eve
If I'm playing and someone else needs to check email or something i dont want to have to exit the game. it seems to take forever to load. (thats probably a whole other topic). Well I don't know the keyboard button but I have read that if you run the game in windowed mode it shouldn't be as painful to minimize.
Just Hallibuton... I hope you bit your tongue on that one... sheesh. Corporate "robber barons" have been around since before the Revolutionary War. Again, the wonders of internet 'communication'. Being 36 years old (born in 1970) I was pretty much using events that have happened during my lifetime, events whi
turn our displays down to 60x40 with 16 colours, Now that's not fair! They tell you all over the place that you have to have the colors set to 32 bit! I mean come on... I take it this game pisses you off too Crosswire? I've been dealing with this in one form or
Thanks Kryo. Much more articulate than I was. This 'helping people' stuff can be a downright pain in the sometimes...
