Reply to Weapons in War of Magic

[quote]If it isn't aesthetics, won't there be a clear best weapon?[/quote] Well, it's possible (albiet difficult) to balance things so that there is no "best weapon". Especially if there are only one or two weapon "types", with, say, axes, maces, broadsowrds, and war hammers all under the "heavy" class.

[quote who="GW Swicord" reply="11" id="2297701"] Quoting Scoutdog, reply 10 I can't believe it's only three pages. That's because no one's gone on a Man with the Golden Gun tangent, wanting third nipples for their bare-chested elite assassin units or a champion famous for shooting golden arrows and having three nipples.

Well, I agree that we need some sort of rating system in the game world...... of course, one that actually makes SENSE would be appreciated.

[quote]Political debate usually isn't about trying to convince the other person, it's about convincing everyone else that's listening in. If he has this list, and you say "It's wrong, but I won't bother saying why it's wrong", then where does that leave you in the eyes of everyone else?[/quote] Finally, some intelligent conversation! Very well, I will explain this little bit of oddness: That was congress. And weren't the people agitating for the bailout conservative

Seriously, people: get in touch with reality. It would do you a world of good.[e digicons]:annoyed:[/e] I'm not even going to try to correct any of this: the only people who would believe it do not care about facts anyway.

Well, a car fueled by pure nitroglycerin would probably not work at all (would most likely destroy the engine) and traffic in New York doesn't move anyway, so definately the car. Would you rather be irreversibly sent forward in time by 300 years, or back by 300 (ignoring history changes).

Well, the symbol has arrows surrounding it, which makes me think it might be a camera control, but it could be either one. However, generally when you turn a sand timer over, that means that it either starts or resets timing... I didn't think of being able to SAVE tactical battles.... that would be interesting, but not terribly useful......

Not ENTIRELY sure what that would do.... the coating might make things look funny, and I IMAGINE the smaller pits would create smaller but more numerous sparks.... although being only an aspiring electrical engineer, I can't tell you for certain.

[quote]Well, believe it or not, I think that the drunken uncles and elder cousins were trying to play safely--the goal was good food explosions, not sparks. [/quote]Drunk people? Safe? Doubt it. Probably just didn't want to ruin the microwave and stop their own fun. Man, I wish I had a semi-functional family.... MY cousins woudn't dream of going near a microwave: they claim that the raditation is responsible for depression.

Good tip.[e digicons]}:)[/e] I assume you tried the lightbulb-in-pool-of-water trick? Also, according to the Mythbusters, the best sparks come from two sheets of accordion-folded aluminum foil about 2cm. apart..... or a CD.

My personal favorite was the "how do you rank" thread, although my mundane tech tree discussion/Metroid fan club was not far behind. And no, "Expose them nipples" was NOT in consideration.

I am assuming it will be, but you actually get to issue orders. Actually, this screenshot has proven to be rather informative: The "hourglass" button is wierd: my first impression was "reset button", but that is so fraught with probelems that it pretty much HAS to be something else..... maybe the pause. There is also a "scroll" bu

[quote]3) I'm 100% serious. The dev team can make a mod, and let the fans "leak" it. End of story.[/quote] Except for the fact that it would easily be linked back to the dev team, would probably jump the rating as a result (especially if someone wanted to sell it), and embroil Stardock in a mid-sized scandal that would pretty much cement the company as "the porn people". The fact is, if it comes from the devs, everyone will soon know it. Mods are checked for content, and my understand
