If Sci-fi's(I refuse to use that retarded fuck spelling) site will actually work, they supposedly have it... No torrent for me. Which is good, I've already surpassed my tolerance for the internet by using their shitty, flash bloated site. Ooh, it loads, Now see that? I'd never have bothered to go look for the name of the episode if I weren't intending to hunt down a torrent. Another legal view directly attributable to the existence of all t

[quote]And why, pray tell do you consider my comments 'irrational'?[/quote] You, in the crusade against piracy, would have me watch fewer shows legally. If I am not, and never will be a customer, which was the case for several television shows, including Heroes, TSC, Chuck, Fringe, and Warehouse 13, they can only gain by my illegally obtaining a copy of a previously aired show to see if I want to watch the series. I have not

[quote]By pirating the TV shows you deny the advertisers their audience...and ultimately up the chain the actors in that show you like/want to be a legitimate viewer of. It doesn't matter how it is spun....piracy is piracy.[/quote] One of these days you wont completely ignore any and all context of someone you irrationally disagree with. I'm guessing that will be some time after the second coming.

I'm finally in the like camp for art direction. I don't really give a shit what it looks like so I'm almost completely ambivalent, but the dragon looks good enough to jump off the fence. If that's what he looks like in game, it's mucho preferable to blocky looking 3d that's supposed to be photo realistic.

I'd go with him over the big three, especially if he delves into the bills to look for problems instead of just bashing all the morons that come up with their own. Even if he doesn't, he's still a lot better than the talking asscracks in the print and video media that are just farting around with video editing to make the protests look like a bunch of quacks.

Uhuh... right...

The fort doesn't have to create units every turn. If being attacked depletes movement, you can tie an army down with normally produced suicide units. The game then becomes a perpetual stalemate whenever someone uses the tactic. There isn't any significant delay a fort can do to a passing army without depleting it's movement. I'd love to have irregular troops that can raid, but I think you guys are seriously over-estimating the damage potential you're l

This thread never had any merit to begin with, Jonnan's historically accurate post included. We can thank Justice Marshall for that fuckup. We're supposed to have gotten a limited federal government, and most of these massively complex regulation schemes that don't in any way regulate(regulate, as it was used in the Constitution, verified by the people that actually wrote it, is to make regular, not restrict and control) would ever have been written if the federal government were

While nice for Kohan, I'd rather forts not be magical army producers, and they'd need to produce a good sized army to do anything against another army. In RTS games, combat doesn't happen in a turn, your fort either sends guys out and they're utterly destroyed with little effect, or they win. In either case, the action takes time that allows you to send an army to deal with the threat in the mean time. It's a delay, one that shrinks with the advantage the en

Obscenitor, could you not shoot your own stance down quite so blithely. Actually read the recommendations you just posted. Government insurance, er... wait, it's not in there... Kinda looks like Switzerlands system, scary how common that is. Compulsory, individually purchased basic insurance with optional extra coverage. Aside from the whole compulsory thing, it's really popular. We're not real sure how well it works yet, but unlike France,

The feminists are proof that man was right to name hurricanes after women.

The incompetent prosecutor and judge, the lying cops that faked evidence and failed to document what was actually there? I'd have put those fuckers in jail in a heart beat. A guy that was guilty as sin got off because a prosecutor slandered her own witnesses with impecable records and was too stupid to know that leather shrinks when left soaked in blood in a plastic bag, a judge let the defense ask the same question over and over for hours, and dirty cops were too lazy to work the

Can't get rid of contingency, if you do that you screw someone with a genuine case and no money. Contingency has it's place, just not in a lottery system of assholes throwing darts at a board to see if any stick. People don't work for free. After you fix the system, lawyers wont have more money than they know what to do with, and horrible reputations to make up for. Pro-bono case work will be the new unicorn. Edit: [quote]That's the rub.

I'd love to be able to build customized defenses that got used on the battle map. Different preset types would be acceptable, but you should be doing a lot better than stat changes when you have tactical combat available.

Did this really need a second thread? [quote]ran a short calculation. If you factor in actual population size and current GPD, then US spends even more money per capita than everyone else. The per capita cost of health care in Germany amounts to about $3688 while the US has to fork over $7430. Numbers from Shadowhai & Wikipedia.[quote] You forgot to factor in lifestyle. This would include exercise, diet, localized populat

You guys should stop complaining about an ai being honest and just ask for a role playing trigger. If it's optional, people that want the goody bastards to actually behave like goody bastards won't have to worry about being stabbed in the back from a civilization run by nuns. Those that abhor behaving like civilized individuals can leave it off and have every AI seek only the best possible option, as opposed to using flavorful things like honesty and bias in the c

Arg, bad server responses are evil!

You're assuming an entire segment of the game will be optional. That tends to happen with things tacked onto a game after the fact, as the espionage system in GC2 was. If it's built from the ground up with a system in mind, it's not likely to be optional.

I dislike the idea of a desk entirely. Desks suck. Having a real production system with inputs and outputs, instead of tax sliders, makes the cheap knockoff qualities all the more apparent. At the least, have actual embassies or something that produce them. Other than that, it's less irritating than most ideas. I still don't like breaking a perfectly good army system by introducing cheeseball units that break the rules. It's a layer of crap you simply don't

[quote]Psy... which post was your comment dirrected at? can you expand on what part you find boring? thank you for the contribution.[/quote] You're welcome. Sliders. Boring. If espionage is a matter of adjusting a slider, why bother? Skip it. If you reduce it to something as interesting as changing the tax rate in civ, you're not adding anything even resembling an entertaining feature that adds to the

Congrats on returning to boringville.

That would also serve to aid in the ambush. Give a fortified unit a stealth bonus and you could have camo units that are undetectable until the enemy runs over top of them and gets attacked, while not having units that can walk past recon patrols.

Implementation. Give all units a detection score. Modify by terrain, for instance, +1 on a hill, -1 in a forest. Subtract one point per tile away from the unit, as well as for intervening forests or hills. You now have line of sight, when it hits zero, they can't see anything. Simply use the best score in any combined force. Give all units a stealth score, higher numbers being better, numbers being a few points lower than d

It would make perfect sense, if we didn't all turn off the nag screen that pops up when someone alters the program files...

Now see? If you didn't have an anti-virus, you'd have been just fine!
