[quote who="RavenX" reply="2383" id="3560782"] It wouldn't surprise me if somewhere behind the scenes there's pocket books filling the coffers of scientists to say what they're being paid to say, especially when there's a lot of climatologists now saying we could be looking at another "mini-ice age" like we experienced during the medieval period. Don't think it's possible for scientists to be paid to talk? Well, remember back in the day when all those Professional

Setting aside the fact that you just linked to the NOAA which just recently tweaked temperature numbers thus hurting its credibility to make it look like there was more warming, let's assume we are actually warming. 1) So what? 2) What now? Give me answers that don't suck and you have earned my respect.

You don't know me, but I'm not the kind of guy who just believes what I'm told or disbelieves what experts tell me. Logic and evidence are important to me. Here's what I see: the hottest year on record was 1998. Since then global temps have leveled off despite all predictions by those Academies of Science you mentioned, and there are dozens of theories that attempt to explain it. Then the scientists devise new computer models on those theories tweaking numbers until they

Maybe. But it seems like they just didn't think to see how it stacks up against other sensors.

Reply to Ashes: May Founders Update in Escalation Dev Journals AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Wait, is the performance already better with DirectX 12?

Reply to Developers please listen to the playerbase in Ashes of the Singularity GalCiv3 Forums

Looking at the squad based games I've seen so far, Kohan and Company of Heroes, which I think are closer to AotS than SupCom, both use icons in the main map to represent squads/companies. AotS has squads, control groups, and battlegroups, so I'm eager to see how such groupings will eventually be represented when zooming out (the founder videos have no icons at all). I don't want to steer the devs in a particular direction, I'll wait and see.

So, eventually down the road, do you have an idea where you are leaning with regard to random map generation?

Reply to Ashes Founders: May 2015 Let's Play in Ashes of the Singularity AshesoftheSingularity Forums

Oh boy, I really wanted to see what happens after you get a tier 2 unit out. I'm trying to dissect the unit grouping and orders from what I can see in that gameplay (and the two other videos). Maybe you can shed some light. 0:40 you selected a unit and it selected the associated squad. Squads appear to be spawning together, not individually. That looked very Company of Heroes-like, so that helps my understanding a lot. 1:02 you control-grouped four different squads

Reply to Ashes: Extreme zoom in Escalation Dev Journals GalCiv3 Forums

While the Age and SupCom games are my primary RTS experiences, after watching some Kohan and Company of Heroes gameplay, I'm excited to see where AotS is headed with meta-units. I've never been a unit micro kind of guy, so hopefully this shallows the skill curve and clicks per second a little bit. Of course, both games did use icons to help identify "squads" and squad leaders, so I'm curious how AotS will address this. Can't wait!

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="65" id="3558166"] When the alpha comes out, and it's going to be super rough, buggy, with awful UI, terrible unit AI, etc, I worry that we're going to not get useful feedback but rather endless "See, you should just copy Supreme Commander".

Reply to A note about reviews..just a ramble. in Galactic Civilizations III GalCiv3 Forums

I'm holding off my steam review for now. The core game is good, and I expect the game to get better, and when that time comes it will get my thumbs up. What will it take? UI improvements to significantly reduce workload for micromanaging many specialized planets. I'd also like more of a challenge from normal AI.

Reply to Oh fun, the difference between 'Normal' and 'Gifted' is a Joy! in GalCiv Beta Feedback GalCiv3 Forums

Today I tried all stock AIs on gifted, Gigantic, uncommon habitable, figured it would be a challenge since I clobber the AI on normal. On turn 56 I did a cycle through of trade and found my two nearest opponents had double the number of planets I did and their average class 14 while my average was 10.5. I thought maybe gifted got planet class boosts, but maybe I just got unlucky. Well now one of them, the Krynn, are chugging out medium ships and noticed I don't have any military, so they
