I played an old version of the game (1.9 i think) which i had left on my wife's laptop last week. I was asking myself if there is any feature i would revive from that old version which had since been lost? The most significant thing about the old version is that the manner system compels you to use magic in order to save manner! This is because the manner system is unit based and when the manner is full, the manner regeneration is wasted - so it compels the player t

I have only just updated to 1.3 so i haven't tested combat yet.... (i spent the last 3 days restarting games because the minor races in my edited map would not spawn, then discovered I'm not allowed!!) but I have frequently encountered the combat freeze bug in 1.2a, you just have to hit the auto resolve button. I try to use my most advantageous attacks first up just in case i have to auto resolve. Dominate power is too good??....?? ah, um, if i get an NP

Oh what about the movie 'Surrogates!?? This technology is perfectly in the right direction!!! I cannot say that level of technology in the movie Surrogates would not be absolutely awesome to try out!! but like without the overkill they did in the movie. (and yes of course I'm thinking how easy it would be to 'score') [e digicons]O:)[/e]

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="9" id="2945295"]They might, however, it's more logical to think that the effort to create was made because they intend to develop and continue it. Sort of a "1/2 empty vs. 1/2 full" situation. I also think competition will make all anti-malwares better. I believe you're entitled to hold your view and I, mine.

[quote who="sareth01" reply="14" id="2945260"]I know exactly how you feel mystikmind. I tried getting back into X3 and I was SO upset at the poor player to game interfacing options. The capability for awesome was all there, but usually it required a ton of mods to add to the game before it ever truly felt fully "fleshed out". I couldn't play the game without the 500k comms mod as well...having to fly close to every station just bored the hell out of me. S

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="7" id="2944848"]Can't agree, Mystikmind. If that were the case, they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of creating the sweeper to begin with, would they? No, it's about services which can become marketable or a 'one stop shop' type of thing. More logical.[/quote] "they wouldn't have gone to the trouble of creating it to begin with" ..... oh yea, wow, how silly of me!! because no one 'ever' goes to all the troubl

I have played X2 and X3, both games are phenomenally intoxicating games,,,, but they do not have much replayability, for me it was about 3 games each and then I'm done with it (one game occupying you for months tho). Even trying to come back after a long time away dousnt work... i tried that just last week, got overwhelmed by a massive 'been there done that' cloud.

I came up with a sovereign quote once that was so funny it cracked me up every time i saw it for the entire game! Wish i could remember what it was?? But it most definitely would have been to rude for this forum, of that you can be assured!!

Programs with detection tools need regular updating, and microsoft are not so committed to this program that they would do that, hence why it is not promoted.

[quote who="myfist0" reply="48" id="2942013"]Hehe, Bullies don't start fights with people that will kick there ass. Also you should look up how many democratically elected leaders were "removed" by the US and installed a dictator that was trade friendly to them. Start here http://www.tomveatch.com/dictatorships.html and do a little research at the local library.[/quote] Plenty of mistakes to go round no doubt, i ev

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="49" id="2942019"]when you have that situation, everyone remembersHumm ... at what point in our / your discussions did Iraq become the aggressor, just asking?[/quote] Oh didn't you know? Iraq invaded Kuwait, oh but wait, i saw that in the world media, and because America is so good at controlling world media, it must have been America invading Kuwait so that Bush 2 would have a nice foothold position to apply his it's fake list of excuses to invade

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="46" id="2941905"]I like Mystikmind because; well most just want to harangue and Mystik comes across as sincere, to me. We knew where all their military installations were, their palaces, bunkers, storage depots, oil infrastructure and any other place someone might want to destroy … But we did not know where all the nuke stuff was at. Looking back, I remember all those reports on mobile chemical and biological labs with pictures and specs. And man

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="38" id="2939230"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 37Reply #37 MystikmindI do not doubt your sincerity, just your information. Simply put, if you do not know (or believe) the USG was deeply involved in these Countries troubles (and about a hundred more), then you cannot have an accurate view of what has been going on in the Middle East since John F. Kennedy. You have to go back that far and do a lot of time consuming research through the last 50 years. The evi

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="34" id="2938826"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 29Just look at what happened in Egypt or Libya and even Syria!Exactly, but I am willing to bet you know as much about those American campaigns as you do about Iraq or Afghanistan. I am not trying to be mean here ... you just do not have the correct information. For instance, if you are interested in Afghanistan, where do you go for your information? I go to people like Malalai Joya who is living through the American

[quote who="BoobzTwo" reply="28" id="2938567"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 27I have seen no better jibe at how screwed up democracy has become in America.America has never been a Democracy, and I assure you that you do not want one. Plutocracy or Polyarchy are much better descriptions of it, but a Republic was the founding Fathers principle. All the first order countries around the world fall into the Plutocracy variants. Our spreading “Democracy” around the third world is tant

I have seen no better jibe at how screwed up democracy has become in America. Oh wait, i lied, my absolute favorite Simpson's episode is the 'ton

Previously when i refereed to the universe being 'infinite' i was talking about open space, not matter. Since i am coming from my original idea on the location within infinity paradox. Location specifically refers to matter, any matter, planets, galaxies, whatever, because any matter that exists, has to have a location, a location within infinity, which is impossible!

[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="187" id="2935492"]I should like to add my 2 cents worth to these comments and particularly the highlighted part. I hope they don't smell like bagged hobbit! We know the universe is vast, but has science proven the cosmos is infinite? Rather than the apple of God's eye, the Carl Sagans of the world would have us believe the still unsupported assumption that the earth is an insignificant speck in the universe, just one of "billions a

Thanks for the link Thoumsin. That preview actually gave me chills it was so awesome!!

Is it 'Where's wally?' sorry, applying your game description to where's wally just cracks me up,,, hahahaha, but seriously, i don't know your game? Would it be at all similar to Turok i wonder? But it is definitely 'not' Turok, you can be sure of that.

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="182" id="2934845"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 180That is just as ridiculous as Dr who coming back into existence simply because Amy Pond remembered him! Not really. The only reason you really need to know where something is is because you want to go there. Using an "arbitrary" point that is selected for any reason (ranging from convenience to shits'n'giggles) can be used to define another objects position. Ideally, you actually use a

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="8" id="2935040"]Re Larson's original BSG (not 1980), the project wasn't entirely without some efforts at the kind of SF social thinking that made the original Trek so good for so many viewers. True, there was crass reaching for the family audience with that horrible robot dog and the annoying little boy. But there were little background touches like the polytheism that Moore paid much more attention to and the legitimate work role for the 'socialator

[quote who="Whiskey144" reply="179" id="2934838"] Quoting Mystikmind, reply 174*snipped for length*/*wierd infinity-based philosophy stuff* If the universe is infinite, then select an arbitrary point in space to use as the "origin" for the purpose of plotting positions. Simple really. [/quote] That is just as ridiculous as Dr who coming back into existence simply because Amy Pond remembered him!

[quote who="psychoak" reply="176" id="2934829"]The universe does not need to have a center for you to section it up as far as the latest telescope can see. You simply make Sol sector 001, as in Trek. It's no less arbitrary than the standard ruler.[/quote] Arbitrary, arbitrary,,, a curious word in this particular topic! Or perhaps you like "I think therefore i am" or "it is there because it's there" hehehe Nah, not nearly good enough. Perhaps
