Maybe tactical combat would be better suited for any fights with at least one hero with either party else it falls to the nontactical kind.

Guys seriously, these concerns about Stuxnet are minimal. Stuxnet was specifically designed for a type of centrifuge that nobody uses except Iran and it was in a big desperation attempt to reset the nuclear timetables. The following investigations led to the US, Isreal, UK and to a very small degree France alongside Germany. You don't have to worry about big doomsday scenarios with Stuxnet because it is not compatible with anything else out there. Stuxnet is

Online casinos are hated by politicians not because they shelter potentially questionable activity but because they are making a lot of nontaxable income that they feel should be taxed. Can you imagine if the whole domestic gambling industry went online and nontaxable? The financial loss would cause our leaders to riot. What other industries would follow in its wake? Taking money from a pet program is seen like stealing from the politicians own personal piggy bank.&nbs

Reply to The games you find truly groundbreaking, original, awe-inspiring and memorable in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

I'd like to add Betrayal at Antara for notable mention solely for the game environment's side quests and substories. Other than that the game was very unpolished among other problems like the main story itself. A note of good writing is when you can pull off good entertainment using only the little things.

Don't be too surprised that Saudi Arabia has responded to Bahrain's call for military intervention. When nations are facing considerable violent upheaval they often resort to importing foreign military assets, usually mercenaries.

Only revolution in the world to be sparked by Google Earth. http://www.businessinsider.com/bahrain-google-earth-2011-3#-1 Citizens live in dirt poverty under the country's constitution which prevents anyone from owning private property, however the elite do (illegally) own private property and it certainly is billionaire property according to Google Earth. Another problem is Bahrain is really going a

Still waiting to see a more plausible Xcom game that gives rational reasons why the aliens aren't invincible. Apocalypse touched this by claiming the aliens were from another dimension and couldn't survive in ours, yet.

BoobzTwo, there seems to be some confusion on De Beers so I will attempt to clarify. It's actually a bit complicated and I'm just too lazy today to go into detail. No, When I say blood diamond industry I'm not talking about the super valuable red rock you saw in the movie that everyone was fighting over, jokes aside. De Beers themselves have put out a number of publications about the blood diamond industry and why De Beers is an absolute global necessity to pro

Sorry for the derail it's just that every time I hear about how money gets dumped left and right for some project it can bug me. I saw that video this morning and then reading about the national cybersecurity plan (googled for more info afterward) well I went into rant and vented. It was an outburst, I apologize.

The older I get the more I lose hope of change when it comes to government. We could go completely bankrupt and they will still finance junk like this. By now I've reached the point where I'm cynical or suspicious of almost any plan requiring mass appropriations of money to be wasted. [video]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tc5HcurZNRk[/video]

Reply to Why so many different religions? in Religion Stardock Forums

Okay we'll give it a rest. Please understand the argument really wasn't about religious belief but about hypocrites and hypocritical thinking accepted as the dominant in our society. I don't like that, it bothers me. Especially having someone who really doesn't know try to convince someone else buy stating it in the form of pure fact 100% absolute certainty and getting away with it on a daily basis with the only argument that since the alternative has not be

Reply to Kickstarter: Productive or Pandering? in PC Gaming Elemental Forums

Boogie, what if E:WoM had the kickstarter investment? Depending on the funding, would it have made a noticeable difference to save the day or would it have only resulted in braking the thermometer for everybody? Can you imagine the potential uproar? Yes it is probably safe to say this is most definitely a blazing hot issue. A similar situation is Blizzard being subsidized by S. Korea for Starcraft 2. "Well what am I

Reply to Civilization:V vs Elemental:WOM in War of Magic Elemental Forums

@DsRaider: May want to edit that OP. You forgot one more very important difference between the two designs. Civ5 uses a global policy system to augment cities based on combined accumulated city culture points (tradition, liberty, honor, piety, patronage, commerce, freedom, rationalism, order, autocracy) while EWOM uses an individual city level up upgrade system (magic, tech, money, super unit) to shape the nation. EWOM has a simple open ended approach while Civ5 is m

I was an agnostic for many years because I refused to take something of such magnitude on faith alone so it was simply a matter of ignoring the inaccuracies and going about my business as usual. After many nagging years, I decided to do my own research. To make this short, I decided that nothing has really changed; I still

WOM already has some built in equalizers, they just were not implemented very well. The Dynasty system combined with the surrender mechanic (if you get very lucky) can make a small nation into a significantly larger one overnight. Also the experience based system for sovereigns, heroes and common soldiers provides reward for better micro by making them stronger quality to defeat superior quantity. Now if only we could get diplomatic acknowledgement from a fo

The big problem with tbs types is they always follow the same pattern of attacking the weakest opponent for expansion rather than the riskier decision of attacking your strongest opponent directly like a free for all game in Starcraft. Spending your day seeking out and beating up the next little guy gets very old real fast, that is unless you're the type of person who actually enjoys that kind of thing in real life. <span style="font-
