I'm a little curious why you wrote all of this. 1,2, and 4 were all in the elemental games. Granted #3 has always been a more contested bit. Personally I have never fired up a turn of a 4x multiplayer game, but do realize some prefer that, all stats seem to argue against that being a large % of people. Think you have to have a huge following to make that worthwhile, though that point could make a good chicken and the egg argument.

As a gamer only, 32GB is probably on the very, very high side. I'd certainly not go higher. And personally 16GB is where I would build a new gaming PC today. As someone who uses CAD/CAM software and games, 32GB is pretty good spot, but 64 wouldn't be out of hand depending on assembly sizes.

Instead of shutting down your internet, look into your routers settings. You should find a section in there for turning off access to that computer by using a time schedule.

Thanks for posting about this. I asked about it during a recent stream, but don't think I posted here about it to follow up. (maybe I did, i forget!) Still hasn't been really clarified whether this is intentional or indeed a bug. If it is intentional, I just may dig into modding a bit to change it, I have already found it in the xml files. But after finding it, I really hadn't decided to go any further hoping it was a bug to be fixed.

Do you guys happen to have any screenshots of LH running with the higher res UI? I only run at 1920 x 1200 myself, so won't see what the new look is until I next upgrade monitors. Or haul my desktop out to my living room to plug into my 4k TV, but no plans for that any time soon!

[quote] How many of you would like the Neutrals to play as full on major civilizations ala FE/Civ/etc that are trying to also ascend, conquer each other, etc. Versus how many of you prefer to keep the rivalry between you and the SK? [/quote] That is a tough call. Unless you still have some way of still trying to get them to ally with you (or the SK get them to ally with him), I'd prefer it to stay the way it is.

http://gizmodo.com/hp-apologizes-for-busting-peoples-printers-on-purpose-1787230865 Well, that was somewhat quick. I do predict they will be more careful in the future. Not that they will not allow this to happen, I just think they'll start selling the printers with warnings that off-brand ink won't work up-front.

[quote who="nicknamealreadyinuse" reply="2" id="3651791"] Just encountered same issue. Happened when defending the city from a Looter attack. Prior to the battle, Nephaz was the only garrison. On the same turn, a Sentinel unit completed construction.

Awesome shots. Excited to get this! Bonus on UI change: Streamers (including Stardock itself) has a great place to put the facecam windows in the lower left now. Doesn't cover any UI elements. (or is the unit info still there probably??)
