[quote who="Tamren" reply="1" id="1998084"]A feature like this would be cool. But it should have a big random factor attached. If it is too predictable it will often become rather boring. In the game Alpha Centauri there are a bunch of secret projects you can complete. Each of these grants powerful bonuses for as long as you can hold onto the completed item. One of the first you have access to is called the Weather Paragdim. It basically doubles the speed of all terraforming. This

Aaaaargggh, this game is awesome. I must has it! It's so frustratingly simple, yet I can't seem to get OCD on every level! D:

[quote who="alway" reply="3" id="1996277"]I have one question about this though... What if the armor doesn't fit? For example, the rear armor plate of that horse does not look wide enough to fit on a bear or other wide mounts. The armor on that horse looks very much like it is tuned specificly for horse, what sort of system would be used to adapt it for other mount shapes? Would the game alter the armor to fit another body shape? After all, as I understand it the whole purpose of this system

[quote who="The_Regicide" reply="20" id="1996316"]Yes, from the evidence it looks pretty likely to me that we're causing global warming on a horrific scale. But with science you don't need to argue. It doesn't matter who wins the debate -- it's about reality. By just waiting a little longer, we'll get to see who was right. It feels unethical, but I find myself wanting to keep quiet about the science just to know for sure. As terrible as it sounds, the state of the world isn't really my respon

I'd say botch the idea for turns being "days" or "weeks"; simply have "turns" being "turns". Add a regional weather system, and seasons that last 24 turns each (long enough to be felt, but not so long it'd start to annoy you), and divide a year into 4 seasons (96 turns, which sounds a lot more than it actually is). This'd allow us to have our seasons, have our sense of temporal flow (4 seasons = 1 year) while everyone can make-believe on their own how long an actual turn is, w
[quote who="DarkSentinel" reply="14" id="1995476"]Expanding on Luckmann's post, I'm sure that most of us run Firefox in addition to IE(for just problems just like these). Open that, and in the address box, type "about:plugins" without the quotes. Scroll down a bit, and it will tell you what version of flash you are running. In IE, click on tools, then "Manage Add-0ns". I used my Firefox to set my Avatars and stuff, as it was running 9.0.115.[/quote]Why use IE? You can check your plugins
