I'm new to EU4. I'm interested in the 6 major upgrades of the game. (The graphics DLCs not so much.) They are quite pricey. Conquest of Paradise 14.99 (8 pounds from a European vendor) Wealth of Nations 9.99 Res Publica 4.99 Art of War 19.99 El Dorado 14.99 (+5 flavor add on) Common Sense 14.99 (+5 flavor add on) The Cassocks 19.99 (+7 flavor add on) Mar

I've now played Stellaris about 80 hours (ya, ya, I'm retired, and don't have a life, lol) The game has great potential - but its pretty lame right now. (remember the first elemental game?) I Never player Europa Universalis IV (also made by Paradox). I took a good look at how Paradox games has improved their games. I expect Stellaris to become a truly stellar game, if Paradox follows the same game plan they have with their other games.&nbs

I'm with Zarkov on this one. I started on the original civ, then civ2 ... civ5. Each iteration has its charm. Civ3 with its HG wells scenario - great memories for me. Civ5 does have the best graphics, and really cool music and voice overs. However, game play wise, civ 4 wins hands down. And the civ4 mods, Fall from Heaven2, Wrye's and Fall of Civ, both wonderful experiences. And then there's Loreth's mod: A New Dawn (love the Egyptia

[quote who="Larsenex" reply="8" id="3635178"] None of that matters. I play Civ 5 on HUGE maps like I do Gal Civ III and unlike Gal civ I have memory issues with Civ 5. Icons missing, units freezing and even CTD's. This is one area I can seriously say that 64 bit WILL make a HUGE difference. If Civ 5

[quote who="Jafo" reply="4" id="3634835"] So far there's been at least one 'plane-strike' involving a commercial aircraft [in the UK] with a 'drone'. I'd prefer to see them all banned from public access. There are too many idiots out there. [/quote] Drone-downing the plane was unfortunate. We do need to get all these dangerous machines out of the hands of the many idiots out there. Many of these idiots

[quote who="psychoak" reply="11" id="3634430"] Well, compared to Distant Worlds, which basically plays itself if you let it... In GC3 you actually have to move all those ships around, build stuff.

[quote who="Borg999" reply="5" id="3634391"] RTS games are not my cup of tea. For every click of the mouse I make, the AI makes 1,000. How can you even begin to compete?

Thanks for heads up Doc.

[quote who="willistuder" reply="13" id="3633888"] HDCP is a copy protection protocol that has been around for about 15 years. It has gone through a few versions, and it seems that newer versions may not be backwards compatible with v1.0. Most new devices have it built in; your older TV may have it. Look in the manual (or search online for the manual) to see if your device is compliant. If not, apparently this HDMI splitter <a href="http://www.amazon.

[quote who="willistuder" reply="9" id="3633806"] It looks OK to me. I have no experience with Samsung players, but it fits your requirements. Have you looked into converting your present player to region free? I've tried it on a couple players of mine over the years, and it works fine. The manufacturers build them that way; you aren't hacking it in the normal sense, you are utilizing the manufactur
