[quote who="alibenbaba" reply="6" id="2098396"]Short answer: Bad idea. Why is that? Basically I see two possible options for those buildings: The same buildings always has the same shape (can also be used as an advantage / disadvantage: e.g. Faction A has especially small archeries) Depending on the city location or plain randomness building sizes differ Option 1. would require the player to figure out an '

Reply to Should State Government be Able to Ban Smoking? in Politics Stardock Forums

I always go back and forth on this. On one hand I don't like the fact that the government is as you have put it interfering with a business that is trying to provide a public place where people can enjoy a legal substance. On the other hand I hate smoke more than anything in a bar/restaurant and I will tell you I have breathed alot easier ever since they put that smoking ban in IL. As to why we still keep cigs legal... well there are probably several reasons for that 1. We have

Glad to know that I'm not the only one with an aversion to drinking alchol until the legal age. At college right now on the weekends I feel like the only person that is sober or not hung over.

Reply to Growing Cities in WOM Ideas Elemental Forums

I definently like the way this idea is sounding I would think that an option for a leader to provide incentives for people to move towards certain areas that are strategically important such as offering 10 gold per settler for people to move into a demon/monster infested region that just so happens to have lots of valuable ore to be mined. Granted normally people wouldn't ever think of going to such a region but if you offer enough gold people may be willing to take on more risks. Also there

Reply to The Holocaust Remembered in Current Events Stardock Forums

I too have been lucky enough to listen to a holocaust witness not just once but twice. He was not a survivor but one of the first American soldiers to liberate one of the camps. At my highschool many of our history classes along with our Modern Theological Questions class takes out a period to listen to the speaker who was not only able to tell his story through his words which were shocking enough but also with many black and white photos that he himself was able to take of the mass gra

Reply to What comes first, 64-bit apps or 64-bit OS? in OS Wars Stardock Forums

What really needs to be done in order to truly push for the 64 bit software is for Microsoft to make only a 64 bit operating system, with no 32 bit versions. The only problem with this is that you would lose alot of sales because most people are just fine and dandy with the 32 bit programs that may have problems working on a 64 bit system and thus wont make the jump.

It also depends on how willing the candidates are willing to sling dirt over this and how effective they are at doing it.
