As much as we all want to romanticize, SETI's future coming to an end is almost inevitable. In the big scheme of things it has to go. Sorry guys.

Save us all the whack-a-mole hassle by restricting AI behavior to crossing neighboring borders with players that they are currently willing to go to war with. This is how a game of FE can feel sometimes. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=D0n8N98mpes[/video]

Reply to World Wonder in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Derek came up with some fun wonders in his Fall From Heaven 2 game. My favorite was first building a city at a highly strategic chokepoint. Then constructing the soul forge, black cauldron wonder combo. Any normal unit that died within the city's radius would be converted into production and raised up as a legion. Let's hope he continues the same innovative pursuits for FE.

Reply to What Side is the World On? in Fallen Enchantress Elemental Forums

Maybe a video is needed? You know how much a picture is worth. I'd be happy with early constructable walls (of any type) completely blocking wildlife from entering my fair city. Kinda like the Great Wall wonder from Civ4 keeping the barbarians out. The only question is what should & shouldn't a wall keep out in FE?

Brad remember this. Both my father and grandfather worked incredibly hard their whole lives. My father suffered a stroke in his late 50s and my Grandfather died to a heart attack even sooner. "I will work harder." Both were medically diagnosed with near perfect health for their age group. Even the doctor said wow. --- Here is what I learned from them and others. There are two different types of people in the world. One type o

IMO, factions should be unequal in dealing with this. Kraxis the turtle logically should be stronger against steamrolling while others are more effectively rewarded steamrollers such as Magnar due to the Slave Lord trait.

I heard it's part of the great 'green' initiative. Our leadership is funny. They run all these huge campaigns to go green, drive less, bike more etc and then freakout when gas tax revenues fall flat by that said green campaign. So how do we collect our taxes now? Nobody really expected those idiot voters to actually take our stupid campaigns seriously! Let's make up for it to collect revenue by the mile instead. Sa

In the finale when the villain was backed into a corner, she should have chosen to prematurely age herself, claim another credible identity like her own mother, and when the hero demands fingerprints show the police they've been aged away. Edit: Because there is a warrant out for her arrest >>> some prisons are without bars.

American Idol is (officially) entertainment and Catholic mass is not. If you want to combine both then go to a megachurch. But yes I'll agree when you're young a Catholic mass can be cruel and unusual punishment, rhetorically speaking.

Your video is not the only one posted here in the thread Myfist0. It's just the longest so far. My point was it's relatively easy to run a search on youtube for a specific video that you remember and type the URL into JoeUser compared to having to sit through, deconstruct, analyze, try to form an objective opinion and then write out a response summarizing everything including any additional comments with it. Catholic Mass, American Idol? Funn

Ok guys understand this, if you think I'm going to just sit through, watch and analyze all ridiculous long youtube vids, especially when they run in excess of 20 minutes, it's not gunna happen. My posts have way too many walls of text already. Do you honestly expect me to spend the time and energy to go over all those points for you? Because it's not gunna happen, period. Nor should anyone else. Cruel and unusual punishment!

Reply to Fascinating find about Karl Marx & our broken patent system in Politics Stardock Forums

Lenin was one of the first to publicize historical findings how US individual property rights tied into and led to other rights. What he failed to realize was how all those other rights would ultimately be lost when property rights were taken away. It's classic planned economics versus free market economics and status versus contract. Both socialism and fascism, also known as crony capitalism, fall in the planned category while pure capitalism is free market. Read: T

Tess remember, religion does not necessarily require to be Theist in nature. Buddhism for example does not have a deity per se. Although I suppose some might conclude to see it that way.
