[quote who="Krazikarl" reply="62" id="3404211"] Quoting Chibiabos, reply 5840s, 14th amendment ... do you make yourself take drug tests, Frogboy? Federal laws have always superceded state laws, from the very founding of the nation, long before the 40s (presuming you mean the 1940s). There were fights regarding this throughout the 1700s when we first founded to the 1800s. His post is admittedly somewhat awkwardly phrased, but you are off base here. <br /

... except as I recall, he did at least grope around for a chance to clone MOO by trying to see if he could buy the MOO franchise to make a decent MOO IV.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="55" id="3403783"] Alstein brought up why we don't paAs more amendments. Part of the problem, IMO, is the incorporation doctrine that came out in the 40s where federal law now trumps state law due to the 14th amendment. As a result, people are wary of giving or taking power from the federal government because it will apply to the states. Incorporation isa n abominable policy.[/quote] 40s, 14th amendment ... do you make yourself take

I hadn't recalled this bug being present in 1.3, but I defer to your screenshots.

Firefox has become very unstable over the years, particularly with the unfortunately ubiquitously-necessary Java and Macromedia plugins. I've had lots of browser crashes, a few BSODs and often a lot of lag and unresponsiveness. Webmasters gripe about ad blockers, but most flash ads are super-bloated and buggy to the point of crashing Firefox a lot, and its even creeped in a bit to the same plugins on Chrome sadly, though nowhere near as bad as Firefox (and thu

I've had a tactical combat stuck upon a failed enemy 'summon' ... I can't recall for certain now, I think it was a failed summon of an assassin demon. The casting unit was stuck, the summon didn't complete, I wound up having to auto-resolve which caused most of my units to die (which sucks as my tactics of surrounding each one at a time, pulling back my weak units and healing them was winning without costing me units :/).

... and forgot to mention pimping up her accuracy on levelling up makes her Maul ability nearly unstoppable.

Ascian rocks. I like having the trait that enables me to buy spellbooks, especially water and air for slow + haste, which makes her even more useful.

I just saw an AI enemy move their unit into a tile already occupied by another of their units. This was not a "pass-through" where it allows one unit to pass through a tile occupied by a friendly unit to get to a tile on another side -- rather, one unit moved to a tile already occupied by another of their units, ending its tactical moves there, and a third unit moved into the same tile. I have also noticed units of hostile factions co-occupying tiles on the strategic map ... in

Upon consuming 100 mana to heal the woman, the text blurb in the last paragraph reads: "... which she does with a fervor that would make a Trog solider blush. ..." There is this marvelous new invention called a spell check ... doesn't cost that much mana to cast. :P

I've never fought a single fight in Rats in the Ruins, and I've had that quest a lot.

I've seen this a couple times as well, though other times it succeeds.

I hadn't noticed this in 1.3 or earlier versions, but ever since installing the 1.4 beta patch, I've noticed when right clicking an enemy army in an adjacent tile, it sometimes triggers a move order simultaneous with the attack order. It recently did this and actually moved my army into the tile in which I destroyed one enemy army, despite a second enemy army occupying the tile concurrently with my moved army.

I can't actually remember the last time this was a real quest; I know it was the same in 1.3 -- it shows as a "Medium" quest, but all you do is trigger the quest, visit the ruins not many tiles away, there's no fight there, then go back to the quest location. How is that "medium" difficulty?

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="48" id="3403699"] Sigh. I'd enjoy conversing with you more if you didn't keep trying to disprove a general truth by showing exceptions and then act like the other person was somehow unfamiliar with those exceptions. By and large, the states determine gun control laws. If you disagree, then say so. Say "most gun laws are made at the federal level" (which is provably false). quit with the "look at me, I can show exceptions while not actually t

Wrong, wrong, all wrong. One simple example to show how wrong Brad is: " In addition, 27 amendments were added to the constitution to further clarify any remaining question on what the federal government is allowed to do." No, the Amendments do not merely clarify; in several cases, they alter significantly (over what had been present in the Constitution) what is or is not constitutionally allowed. A rather blaring example was the Constitution, in its or

This is what we get for so many idiots voting for "small government," pro-privatization candidates who support outsourcing government projects to private contractors. :/ Unfortunately its become ubiquitous among candidates on 'both' sides (yes, I vote for third party candidates but the vast majority of Americans ignore them and even scoff at those of us who vote for the candidate we think best suits us instead of limiting ourselves to 'lesser of two evils'), and the resu

Prior to Beta 1.4, the pop cap bar for settlements would show a highlight beyond the current pop to show the pop cap. I noticed it had gone black and suspected it may not be showing properly, but thought perhaps the colors had simply changed -- but as can be seen above, it is inde

If, by ultimate, you mean already taken. :/

Durrr ... could I talk you into finding a new name? Not only is it very generic, its already been used by a popular Flash-based game (a top-down RTS) published four years ago: http://www.kongregate.com/games/casualcollective/the-space-game Googling "The Space Game" will bring up that flash game hosted on a number of sites. Why not stick your name on it to make it more original, "Kuloth&#3

I wonder if its going to be a bit like M.A.X. (Mechanized Assault & Exploration).

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="31" id="3362039"] DRM can mean many things so it must be specified what exactly it means. SteamWorks I support since it feels worth it to buy games with it since you get achievements and the Steam overlay. I bought Puzzle Quest 2 on Steam since it has achievements. If there wasn't a SteamWorks version then what is the incentive to buy it since there is no downside to pirating it. Yes,

[quote who="MarvinKosh" reply="33" id="3362179"] DRM means potential unreliability in the future. Your software may end up as useless as a virtual doorstop if it is not allowed to run because of an 'Error, could not connect to the server.' The thing that customers worry about is wasting their money on software or games which don't work. So if you design it in a way in which it won't or will very rarely break down, that is one less thing to put them

[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="28" id="3361596"] So it sounds like quite a few of you don't want DRM because it forces you to pirate and play hacked versions of the game [/quote] If that's how it sounds to you, you seriously need to see an Otologist, stat. It doesn't force anyone to pirate or play hacked versions of a game ... we simply refuse to buy or play such games. Read again: obtrusive DRM reduces the number of legitimate sales of
