Reply to The Witcher 2 in PC Gaming

Witcher books are awesome, and the Czech translation is not so bad either. I also highly recommend other books from Sapkovski, notably his trilogy about the Hussite movement in Czech in 15th century called Narrentum, God's Warriors and Lux Perpetua. I like it even better than the Witcher saga, expecially the later part where it all became too muddy, over-complicated and ridden with unnecessary inter-textual references. The second game looks good, but the launc

Turn 20? But that's wrong, I see turn 19, waiting for Hinnom and Lanka. Last file I received from the server was turn 18 anyway. 24h is fine for me. BTW no turn file came to the new address. I think the server is down/broken, at least turn processing is.

Last updated at 07:48 GMT on Friday May 27th Current time: 12:22 GMT Judging from this, it seems the server no longer updates the game status (since 7:48 GMT). I have sent PM to Llamabeast, the owner and maintainer of the server on Dom3 forums, perhaps he will look into the matter.

Good. I have noticed that not only were the elephant mercs all afflicted when I bought them, they were also starved. That means Arco forgot about adequate supplies for his horde, and other units from that group will probably be starved/diseased too.

[quote who="ElanaAhova" reply="333" id="2942025"]I agree with jacksmith.. dom3 has great potential. It just needs some balance tweeks. In the larger Dom3 community, there is a balance mod, that attempts to reduce some of the overpowering aspects of Areo.. Hinnom, and the ice giant nation. jack swift, et al, IF you are true newbies, and you would be interested in playing with the balance mod, and a house rule that puts home castles, and provinces adjacient to home

I don't much care either, as long as I am not denied the games and apps I purchased in the past via Impulse and Stardock (which I think should not happen in any case). As for spyware elements built into such clients - be my guest. I use Windows only for gaming and casual browsing, so spy away. All important and serious stuff is on my encrypted Linux partition.

First, AFAIK, there is no read limit. There is however a write limit - and lower in case of MLC disks than in case of SLC. I don't know the exact numbers, but I did the estimates and real performance comparison for our server (it's a year back), and I found out that the life expectancy for the OCZ Vertex MLC disks was overstated four times (approx) by the manufacturer, compared to real life expectancy we expected on the production servers. Once again I repeat that it was a ser

Hello, just a word of warning with SSD - I am a system administrator and we used the OCZ Vertex SSDs in a raid array for an I/O intensive RRD database (basically constant reads and writes across all the data). The disks failed after 3 months of use, becoming unusable for writing. We replaced them with Intel SLC SSD disks, and they are happily running since then. With SSD, it's important to understand that each memory cell in the disk have a limited number of writes before it becom

Ah, the honesty bandwagon! ;-) It's a dangerous, uncertain ride with many black passengers, no doubt ;-) Abyssia - I am on the shore too, my resource income in the capital is also somewhat lower than it could be, but on the other hand, at least one direction is somewhat covered. Would you rather have potential threats from all sides? This way, you can at least concentrate forces in one direction. You are also lucky that Atlantis does not play - imagine all sorts of horrible amphib

[quote who="louist" reply="327" id="2941877"] All know that Arcoscephale is a peace-loving nation that seeks only to protect it's own ancient borders. Any rumors to the contrary should be ignored, as all know Ti'en Ch'i is a nation of eunuchs and liars. That said, Themistoclese's Infant Son would love nothing more than for his neighbors to the north to find a satisfying peace.[/quote] Protecting borders, eh?

Of course Arco means you no harm for the time being, since he is focused on research and by going to war, he would have to reallocate resources. But in the end, there can be only one ultimate winner, and once Arco's superior research provides powerful spell that will shake the world, it will be already too late. Once again, I would advise Abysia and Marverni to forget their unproductive hatred and plan action against the most powerful nation that threaten us all - Arcoscephale.
