My major gripe with OD+ is with Flyout menus and the Start Menu docklet. Neither of them expose the context menus that Windows has, so for example I can't navigate to a folder or file using a Flyout and right-click to, say, Add To Zip. Anyone knows if this is a planned feature?
Any of you know any American who decided to leave the country after this? I mean, if I was in that situation I would join up with say 10 colleagues, move to India, and advertise as "Outsource to Americans"

Me too, since I asked about something like this months ago
Is there any option for current Drengin members who would like to extend their subscriptions before the price hike?
as I mentioned already to Frogboy by email, the X-COM makers went ahead to do www.lasersquadnemesis.com which is positively brilliant Aftermath... eh.

sorry for the bumpage, but can anyone from stardock reply?
Hi. I'm a Drengin.net subscriber, and have been recently looking at Stardock's other products. If I do decide to go for them, I'd probably go for a ODNet subscription as well. My question is, is there any deal available to extend the games network to a kind of "Stardock Complete" subscription? Or do I have to pay full price for the second subscription as well? I'd like the possibility to exist, both to allow one side of your customer base to get the other side a bit cheaper, and to simplify the
eeer, whoops. I *do* have a GreenMonkeyBoyz.net sub. I just was confounded by the MOMness of that title and started thinking "traditional channels" again :) Astro
MOM MOM MOM MOM oh, YES. /me get in line outside EB to buy Elemental. Frogboy, hurry UP! Astro
wampyre, you're losing your grip again. Get Bobo out of the cellar.
In My (Humble) Opinion
for smaller companies like stardock it makes sense to support dual platforms. I'm a fan of Uplink, a game by startup Introversion Software, and from several comments I saw in their forums it seems that Linux accounted for 25% of their patch downloads (meaning it should have about 25% of the user base). This figure is NOT negligible. The reason for this is that Linux word-of-mouth grows extremely fast, because the companies supporting us are so few. So, if you sell a small number of games in wind
probably the loss of morale on the higher forms of government making people cheat their taxes
I use Terran Alliance, Terran Federation, Terran Imperium, and Terran Technocracy depending on which victory condition I'm pushing for. But Solarian League would be nice too :)
erm, open the link in a new window, and paste the text following it after :)

Phae: I know The Big Tolk's view on symbolism, and I wasn't saying the elves are "symbolic". They, quite literally, have the function of both showing a "legendary" world, and giving a sadness undercurrent to the happy tale of the destruction of the Enemy, which means the downfall of that world. Tolkien's prose is a bit wasteful, granted, but that's style. His *world*, though, has very little extraneous or useless features. Hmm, I think this is my main issue, really. My favorite Worlds o
brian, I HEAVILY recommend getting the Song of Ice and Fire while you wait for Jordan to finish. There's 3 out, one almost, and 2 more till the end of the series. Same epic scope as Jordan, and it does the same job of blurring the lines of good and bad guys. Heh, even though Ice does this by making bad guys have a reason for being so, and most characters are generally likeable and believable, while Jordan makes me want to slap ALL of his characters, good and bad alike ;) Astro
yes, I give you that. Are you at home? I'd like to see an experiment. Try to *offer* tribute, and see how much of your treasury is your maximum offerable, and try to offer that much for 10 turns. I'd like to know what happens (I'm at work, which is easily seen by my long posts ;))
IAF is quite original in one respect, though (and the one that, for me, defines the series): the writing style. RR is writing it as "historical fiction", focussing a lot more on the interplay of houses and political plays than the love interests or hero stories of the characters. Except for the bastard son, all the other Starks are (so far) only being focussed on for their influence in politics (the danger of exposing the twins, the King in the North, being a hostage to various groups, being a p
hmm, let me say what would be my preferred solution for this: The AI takes it entire current treasury plus 500 (the debt limit) and puts it on the maximum value they will pay in the tribute window. Then you increase the wanted tribute to two months. They check what is their current (or expected, for smarter AIs) income for the next turn, add it to their treasury, and divide the value by two. That is the new maximum value they are willing to pay for two months. You change to three, same
Algore - Please god, tell me I'm wrong! well, since the game is a major experiment in online distribution, it makes sense to honor the inventor of the Internet ;) LotR - Definetely one of the best, and practically defined Fantasy as a genre. It gets bonus points for not following cliches (just an adaptation of folk tales, not a rehash of previous successful novels like 95% of all "elves and dwarves" drivel, even the ones which are well written). There are, nevertheless, fantasy
Um, sorry to resurrect this, but I had to insert here a concern of mine I'm seeing come true lately. I stated upfront what my experience with the game was. I'm sure that if I had not, Vorin Varelse's response would be the time-honored "Oh yeah? What's your metaverse score?" Needless to say, I find this to be completely unworthy of this community and this game. It's wrong when a guy is commenting on his "feel" of the AI, even if the vets know for a fact the complainer is wrong. It should
