[quote] Who was that guy on GC3 development team who sat during one of brainstorming sessions and said "Colony building adjacency bonuses!". Big props to that guy and to the rest of the team who went with it, this is something i envisioned for the game and really wanted to happen.[/quote] The problem I have is that it implies the opposite: colony non-adjacency penalties. It encourages a boring, grow-your-empire-norma
It's serious. And most languages do not so much have native XML support as they have classes, packages, libraries, or includes--say, downloadable from SourceForge--where somebody coded support for it. HTML5 I would consider to have "native" XML support, but that is another markup language; not a programming language. Although I do like how you can invoke another programming language from the markup language; not the other way around, as most do it. I just d
[quote] The only thing I agree with is more variations of asteroids. Not all asteroids are created equal. But the rest of the last post is not very important to me for game purposes.[/quote] You don't see the impact on the game if you have all kinds of different tiles? Or is it more a matter of me not doing Founder Elite? It changes the game: like you might always use Lasers game after game; but because of this one plane
I posted in my own Galciv2 wish lists multiple times that I wanted LOTS more specialized planets. Or more specifically, lots more specialized tiles, and more importantly lots more different KINDS of bonuses. i.e. instead of just the vanilla +100%/+300% research/manufacturing/farming, you would have continuous scales of bonuses (e.g. +74%), and things like +% planetary defense tiles, or +40% mass drivers, +%ship-production-only, +53% armor, +10% asteroid production, +1.5% populati
Stardock team, Wishing you all the best in your Galciv3 undertaking. This Founders thing is an innovative idea: THEY pay YOU to architect your game and do QA for you. Evidently you saw all the overwhelming numbers of wish lists in Galciv2, and...well...supply and demand.... Lots of wish lists, not a lot of devs. It will be interesting to see how crowd-sourcing your game architecture (which is effectively what this is) works out. </
I had a Chinese boss once who didn't want to pay my expense report. You want to talk about illegal.... But in China apparently that is perfectly legal. Basically you have to file your expenses his way, kiss his a$$ and stay on his good side until you get your money back. Apparently also they see nothing wrong with discriminating against white people. He had a few things happen to him that...um...helped him realize that in t

[quote]Like Civ 4 (which probably hurts the devs feelings slightly), Stormworld has become the Fall From Heaven of FE for me. [/quote] I don't see that as hurting the devs' feelings at all. That's the biggest shout-out to the architects you can give--that they made successful mods possible.
The NHL lockout is a classic case of successful organized labor, as far as I'm concerned. The owners were being punks, and the laborers stood up to them. Good for them. If the owners AND laborers are not happy, nobody wins. We saw that. We've got too many owners carrying the attitude of, "no, it doesn't matter whether you are happy or not. The only thing matters is if I am happy." Not true. &n
The Hobbit was such a disappointment. It started well, but the "ending" was not so good. "Ending" in quotes because, of course, they're milking this puppy with a sequel. It was long on cinematics, but short on plot. Besides, the movie I saw was not the Hobbit. it was some other made up story--with a few paragraphs from the novel thrown in. I guess it was nice just to see some new LOTR film--I mean, seeing The Hobbit for the first time
Crap, Civ V Gods & Kings is now 75% off at $7.50.
I like Merlin. My biggest thought is, now that it's over, the crowd that likes to watch it can now get the entire series together for free on Netflix, Youtube, Vudu, etc.. Since it's fiction it makes the perfect view-whatever-you-want-on-demand series.
Civ V Gods & Kings 50% off on Steam! Woo hoo!

I know what the OP says...which interestingly has no correlation with the rest of the thread. But whatever, to each their own. ADHD is a treatable illness. And isntreal was established in 1948 by *WHO* again? Incredibly ironic how the same zionist shill who just loves his wonderful utopian country with religious freedom for all* is denouncing the very same organization who established isntreal in the first place.

[quote]It's spelled "Israel", and no, he isn't.[/quote] I prefer "Isntreal" myself. Boo hoo poor Isntreal. Plant yourself in the middle of Arab neighbors and run them out of their homes to build high-rise apartment buildings, and then throw up your hands and say, "Woe is me! I am surrounded by enemies!" Idiots did it to themselves. They get neither my envy nor my sympathy. But oh, Isntreal was founded because of all t
I'm going to say no, it's not the least. Dogs are our family. When a cop can just jump your fence at any time and shoot your family on any pretext whatsoever, that's a problem. As far as I'm concerned, invading your homes and shooting your family is an act of war, I don't care who it is. I think that opinion is shared by a few Boston militia a couple hundred years ago.
The last time I remember Brad really putting his mind to something, Galciv2 came out. I say make a game out of it. In answer to Civilization: make the Fall of Civilization. Overseen by Brad personally. I don't know what genre it would be or how you win, but that's part of what makes it different. I expect it would be a huge hit, since it is so near and dear to people's hearts. Especially in the Detroit a
Yeah but look which forum you're on.
I'm surprised this hasn't already been brought up in this forum, but it seems in the U.S. that cops are posing a substantial danger to people's dogs. Here is the latest incident just yesterday: http://www.the33tv.com/videogallery/70167662/News/5/27/12-dog-shot If you look at the video, the cop was well within the victim's private property.
I guess it's no secret by now that I'm Christian. As far as I'm concerned, morals are morals. They are etched in stone, part of our universe, just like the law of gravity is. It may not always be obvious what they are, but neither is the behavior of a top quark particle. Now, enter gaming: what morals exactly are we talking about?

It's true: I mean, how can you beat up your local senator because the receiving country is resisting receiving you? You have to beat up the other country's parliament. Well, you can't do that either...you're a foreigner. The only way to make it work is to drive a reciprocity agreement, and now you're trying to drive TWO countries to do something you want. Good luck with that. All skills being equal, naturally an emplo
I'm in the process of becoming a foreign worker right now, and it's a bummer. Not in Australia, but a similar country, and it's the same story, giving significant preferential treatment to local workers and all. And I'm a skilled worker. So I've got a different perspective on things--like you should feel complimented that people want to live in your country, I feel highly discriminated against, maybe we should have a global economy on this one, all

I'm not worried about the tensile stress on the elevator cable; the elevator can be fractured into pieces. I'm worried about the compression stress on the truss.
