They don't realize that by being the squishy bulwark against the implacable foe, they contribute to the greater glory of the empire. Ungrateful cunts. :D

[quote who="Tiefling" reply="23" id="2026886"]The term run-of-the-mill probably says it all: If it is mainly just guys with a sword, guys with an axe on a horse or guys with a bigger sword and a shield, units will seem generic and not very interesting. Having creatures that can bury under the battlefield or cast their own spells has

There's not much else to say. Yes! I completely agree. It doesn't have to be hard, just a flip-switch to say "Stop breeding, dammit!" and using Workers/Settlers for migration. Remember that people are a resource in Elemental, though. Every time you build a soldier, you're using resources.

[quote]What if specialization happens dynamically based on what you build in a city? If your city is largely filled with economy-based buildings the city will be superior at trade; or if it's filled with military structures units will be produced faster, or training will be more effective. Actually this reminds me of a discussion we had a while ago in another thread... let's see if I can find it. Nope, I failed. Anyways, the idea was that building multiple buildings from the same s

No.

Yeah, I'm getting the same here now, all of a sudden. I saw the thread yesterday, and realized that I hadn't checked the 'Home' for several weeks, checked, and it worked. Randomly checked this thread again today, thought I'd check 'Home' again, and bam, doesn't work. "The system detected a possible attempt to compromise security.

Well, I've stayed clear of the thread until now. I just finished watching the last episode (Watched all seasons over the course of this week), and I really, really enjoyed it, with the exception that I think it should've really been spread across two or even three episodes. There were just so many different things that needed to be done at a ridiculous speed to cram it all into one continous episode - which explains the sudden apperance of wierd new propulsion systems. Not even a three-ZPM po

Depending on your taste in games, YES . If you get it, you have to get the expansions too. I couldn't possibly imagine playing Galactic Civilizations 2 without Twilight of the Arnor.

[quote who="landisaurus" reply="20" id="2022439"] [...] In Civilization IV, you have the health of a city, and it doesn't really do much except adjust population growth if you can't meet health requirements. If we had a similar mechanic, then a major disease outbreak could have a chance to occur whenever there is a lot of unhealth in a city (of course the spell would force it)[/quote]This.

Five is between 4 and 6 and is the third prime number, after 2 and 3, and before 7. Because it can be written as 2^(2^1)+1, five is classified as a Fermat prime . 5 is the third Sophie Germain prime, the first safe prime, and the third Mersenne prime exponent. Five is the first Wilson prime and the third factorial prime, also an alternating factorial. Five is the first Good prime. It is an Eisenstein prime with no imaginary part and real part of the form <span
