Agree with those who don't want builder units. Click-and-drag seems to be the way to go. Also consider adding a spell that creates 'magical roads' that act like railroads/enchanted roads in Civ/MoM.
[quote]I didn't say it's never treatable, I said it always metastasizes.[/quote] Same difference. At least, where long term survivorship is concerned. The particular study I worked on dealt with locally-advanced (non-resectable but non-metastatic) pancreatic cancer. In about 25-30 percent of the cases, the cancer was successfully downstaged and removed. In the majority of those cases, the cancer didn't recur (ie. never returned, hence, didn't metastasize). Anyhow...
[quote]Explain, are you claiming pancreatic cancer doesn't always metastasize? From the research I've seen, 80% of the people diagnosed with it die inside a year because it's done so already, and of the remaining 20%, three quarters of them are toast inside five.[/quote] No, what you wrote is accurate nation-wide. I was reacting to the slightly exaggerated statement that pancreatic cancer is [i]never[/i] treatable. Full disclosure: I used to have horses in this race. I spent som

[quote]I don't really know how many times people have to repeat themselves on this. City spam doesn't require essence, because restored land radiates outward from existing cities. Rushing cities quickly requires essence, after that in the restored area you can build as many as you want without essence.[/quote] No, no. I 'get' that. The problem is that there's currently [i]nothing[/i] else to do with essence or your sovereign besides rushing cities quickly. And nothing to do with
Right now it seems like they're spammable because players have nothing else to do with essence. What we really need are competitors for that.

[quote]Something like [b]pancreatic[/b] or colon cancer always metastasizes, and the US spanks Europe on those too.[/quote] That's not true. :-p
This is going to be a fantastic year and a half for strategy gaming! Starcraft II, Elemental, Civilization V, hopefully Kings and Castles, Disciples III... [e digicons]:grin:[/e]
Looks awesome. Wish I had a key.
[e digicons] Player versus world. Diverse winning conditions. Simplicity.
I tried it. I'm not a fan. I really do like the standard formula, and CNC was one of the few series that, up until this point, didn't fetishize change.
[quote]The simple truth is that enviros don't want green power, they want no power and massive population reduction combined with zero population growth. They frequently block plans for green power plants based on concerns over habitat distruction, and and other environmental impacts. And if you think there's no wildlife/habitat concern in the desert, then my friend, you've never lived in the desert. And I gotta say most of it ain't real pretty but gosh darn it it was there
Pshh. The fluoride was put there by the Russians.

[quote]There was a particular paper warning of drastic acceleration of temperatures and melting ice in the very near future in Greenland that was based on erroneous data and when the data was corrected showed an opposite trend. They (the IPC) descided to leave the original fauly conclusion and data in as it "made the point better".[/quote] I think we can agree that political uses of scientific data should be heavily scrutinized, whether the organization using the data is the IPCC or t

[quote]So you want to replace Congress with a typical parliament? You might as well eliminate the Supreme Court as well.[/quote] You might try telling that to the British, who've been going in the opposite direction.
Yeah, it's too bad we tend to take our politics seriously. :-D (No scarcasm intended.)
[quote]But his assessment of the underpinnings of evolution, the 3 gaps in evolution he described which cannot be closed, his mention of the genetic bottleneck, the Planck quote, his musings about how long humans have actually been here, etc. [/quote] Yeah, but he presents these like they're huge challenges to evolutionary biology that have gone unnoticed, or worse, have been suppressed. They're not. Most biologists are willing to accept that there are gaps between evolutionary theory
[quote]A lot of what is said here is quite good stuff and accurate, some is a little iffy, and some is downright weird or preposterous. But an interesting read nonetheless.[/quote] No, it's nonsense. And what isn't nonsense, isn't interesting. Many proponents of naturalism are willing to entertain the possibility of extra-terrestrial explanations for the origin of life. The evidence that's supposed to prime us to receive alternative theories to evolution consi
Yes. (Or Both, but that wouldn't affect my decision.)

MoM is working with an outdated GUI where you have to cycle through your units. Elemental will most likely have a more modern selection system, so the game won't select units for you.
[quote]Mondays thru Wednesdays, I'm usually a difference feminist, but on Thursdays and Fridays I like to put time in as an equalitarian (with erratic pro-androgyny tendencies). I keep my weekends flexible.[/quote] Fair enough. I'm the sort that disdains labels -- or uses them ironically -- while quoting trendy Frenchmen.
