I feel there are several issues here that get co-mingled in all the posturing by the various "interested' parties. Yes, jammie violated both the law, and a strict understanding of stealing. She is being held accountable. She should pay the going rate for the intellectual property she stole, and some sort of reasonable fine, community service, or whatever. And that is as it should be. However, there is a grave injustice built into our system of fines. When

This is a "fantasy" game, isn't it?

very well done!

something small and shiny? You know, to tide us over? (sad)

Not Thursday? (sad)

Thanks Brad. BTW, I wholeheartedly agree with post #17, above. Allow maximum user customization of the game environment. While you are in there with the engine, put in a set of customization links, triggers, sliders, etc. Please.

many, many, many good ideas. So many that i have to step back and think about all these. wow!

Monty python trivia? fess up, tell all....

awesome. wonderful story. hope you write more... many more...

Many funny, and interesting comments. LOL. Tahnk you all for some fun entertainment. Now, lets get serious: Regarding humans meeting 'exotic aliens' no one ever mentions the other side. Do you really think "they" would want to go slumming with "Homo homo Sapiens," -ie humans? And what kind of "drink" would you offer one? And, are you really, really, reeee aaa ly, ready to deal with whatever "attachments" they might have? <p

Hey, How come my EWoM did not come with any cats? I play all night (or all day) and no cats bother me. I feel so left out. Its SO U N F A I R !!!! You get cats with your purchase of EWoM and I didn't. I know i updated in time for the expansion packs. But no cats?

Oakenspirit, take heart. Think of your experience as a baptism of fire. You are now seasoned, and ready to apply what you have learned to your next experience in EWoM. The learning curve is steep - and many style work, or don't work, depending on a variety of circumstances. HAVE FUN with it. Go in, try things. if they work, use them again. If they don't , well, don't use them again. IS very important to have a strong, effective military.

Congrats

I agree with harpo. besides, isn't it time you 'redecorate that "capitol" you conquered?

Yes, has happened to me.

I sense one of the underlying concerns for some players is the game's respect (or lack thereof) of our modern taboo regarding incest. This modern taboo is appropriate IMHO. But deciding which 'evil' or 'good,' as modern western societies define them, the developer permits to exist in a fantasy game, is a fuzzy area. Some people role play evil SOV's who do human (sentient) sacrifices (in one mod). Should we remove evil from the game? Some players send thei

Both ideas have merit. A militia IS a civilian force that arms itself to repel attacks, and then goes back to civilian duty. I like the idea of troops in training being 'mustered' to defend. Another idea is a specific unit type (garrison, etc.) that has a high defense value, and is intended to be stationed in, and defend, settlements. Any other ideas?

I just went to skype, and they want a phone number. Am i in the right place?

You all have been wonderful. The advice and sharing your experience is very helpful. i did download team speak, and got lost in the set up. I am looking for one-on one, so Skype it is! I don't have a router - but i am hoping to get into some multi-player games later. Then i would need team speak? thnak you all....

Enemy Soverigns MAY cast an offensive spell. has happened in my games (1.09e). Not always, sometimes.

Or a spell that creates a 'new' one tile flat land. And if a road is in an adjacent tile, makes a road that connects to that tile, in the 'new' flat tile?

Inbreeding amongst royalty has a very long tradition. Egyptian Pharaohs often married their sisters. In Europe, hemophilia was common among many royal families. The inbreeding cause the recessive gene for this to present as both parents had it. The child ended up being a 'bleeder.' (Wounds don't heal, or heal v e r y slowly.) I don't know it this is where the expression "blue bloods' comes from. But it does explain why so many royals were insane.

is it possible to swap out mp3 files to change the in game music?

I'm new to all this. I will try team speak first, as that seems like the simplest to install. My PC becomes the server, and anyone trying to access it needs a password. So I feel it might be safer from 'PC infections. Thank you all for the suggestions, cautions, etc, Esp about MS messenger -
