In games, the only "too big" is a virtual-memory crash.

Banned for having too much Karma.

The problem is, we are going up against a fundamental fact that in the real world, the larger/more resoruce-filled countries usually DO keep expanding until something radical happens. In order to stop this, you have to radically alter the game mechanics in a way that does not mesh with reality.

Banned for not capitalising Advent. Desecrator!

Banned for using the cosmic magnetic background radiation as an avatar.

Until I looked at the web site, I did not know Chicago even HAD a hockey team, but they look OK, so why not.

Well, you actually can if you can easily convert files. There's nothing stopping you from creating modls before the game is released....

That too. I realised a while back that there are actually TWO ways to survive (if not thrive) in a pirate-filled world. The status quo and your idea. The problem with the status quo is that, while it regulates the system fairly well, nobody in it is at all happy. Your method wou.ld work, but it is hard toget people to give stuff away, even if they can sell expansions later.

I will respond to your ideas when you start making sense, or are at least intelligible.

Truse but who maid the painter? Either he was born as a result of complex biochemical processes or somebody made him. Nothing can ever truly occur in a vacuum, which is why there would need to be infinite layers.

You're banned. Why? I have no idea.

Definately options, definately sliders, and DEFINTELY random events targeted at whoever's pulling ahead in the higher difficulty levels!

Yes, from my knowledge of the Bible it does not explain the world as it is now as it does narrate a really quite intetresting history of how the world came to be, and teach people how to act without being a thrwat to society.

I personally have never seen anything like it implimented in practice, but I definately think it would be worth some thought, especially in a battle mini-window. Besices, the devs have been rather vague on the specifics of battle mechanics.

Banned for going to sleep. (See, Koda, I don't always ban you.)

No.

Banned for not being able to read a long name, and for having a double-number fetish.

Banned for violating our freedom of speech. And for having a vacant grin. And for having a fish with a semi-transparent head for an avatar. And for just generally being Koda0.

I think that it is our primitive side that is pushing us toward self-destruction: most, if not all animals compete with one anther, but they just don't have the ability to destroy an entire polanet in the crossfire.

Yes, anything that is included shoud in my book be moddable. I love the idea of Z levels as they can keep you fighting on multiple fronts, but I want to see something more than just a series of entry and exit squares on maps. Maybe something like a semi-duality(am I using that tem correctly?) where some things (although not all) either show up on two maps or are opposite. I.e. where there is a deasert in the light world there is a lake in the dark world, and so on. Might be a bit hard to code

I am certain that we will explore the galaxy one way or another, either by breaking the lightspeed barrier outright or by making ourselves so long-lived that the centuries it would take to explore the galaxy are irrelevant. I don't get bothered by our size in the universe, because physical size is irrelevant. It only takes the actions of a few people (the President and I believe the Secretary of Defense) to determine whether the world will be a lump of mildly radiocative dust tomorrow. It onl

DRM is like criminal punishment. Nobody likes it (well, at least the people who actually EXPERIANCE it don't like it), but it is sort of necessary because if you don't have it, you would be completely destroyed. I think that it is in a way self-regulating, because if it gives people TOO much of a hassle they will just pirate the game and write nasty replies on the company's forums, and the company will be forced to back off a little. It's like a lot of things in the game world: the best optio

Banned for accusing me of using centers of government.

Exactly.
