Bug (can't rename items in folder portal) & Feature Request (Navigating subfolders in folder portal) in Fences Stardock Forums

Hi I appear to be unable to rename files and folder within a portal folder fence. (I can rename stuff in normal fences.) There is no crash or anything, I open the context menu, click rename, and nothing happens. Furthermore the inability to navigate subfolders in a folder portal fence is a bit of an inconvenience. Most of the folders that would be important enough to warrant their own fence have their contents organized into subfolders. I am thinking about a homework folder (c

So you're cherry picking if you set out to "assess the scientific consensus on climate change through an unbiased survey of a large and broad group of Earth scientists", then break down your data into several categories (based on expertise regarding climate change) and report the stats of all categories? There was no obfuscation or intentional misleading in the paper. They reported every manipulation of the data and it's consequences. Not to mention it was an peer-re

[quote quoting="post"]Now comes news of a study done on the survey. It appears that while over 10,000 scientists were asked to complete the survey (only 2 questions) only about 30% did. Still not a bad number, 3000, right? Wrong. The "researchers" then started whittling the number down since the results were not to their liking. So after removing every group imaginable they managed to find a group that consisted of 97% that agreed that man had "some" impact on th

One of the things i remember finding rather odd was that just prior to release draginol/frogboy/brad kept saying that the "internal build" was so much better than the build available to the betas. At the moment it took it on good faith. And their excuses afterwards, for their lapse of judgement, were all very reasonable. I just don't understand why the final build wasn't made available to the betas (or why our version wasn't more in sync with the internal build). It would

[1.1]Can't end turn #355. in WOM Support Elemental Forums

Hi everybody So this game i have been playing refuses to advance to the 356th turn. I've tried to save & restart the game. I've restarted the game and loaded a previous autosave (turn 351). And still at turn 355 it refuses to advance to the next turn. I click the next turn button but nothing happens. Curiously there isn't any kind of crash, and after the useless click i can still perform actions within the game. External link proved contains a zip with debug

I like how cities are spread out over multiple tiles. Even though it's a shame that the actual layout of your city doesn't influence it's performance in any way. I like how you can design your own units (though the UI could do with some improvement). But there isn't a single aspect (as far as i can remember) that i would consider perfect.

Reply to Persistent World in WOM Multiplayer Elemental Forums

I think the concept of "persistant dynasties" was tossed around a bit, not sure what came of it. Furthermore it seemed to be an aspect of the multiplayer part of the game, a part which (at the moment) is supposed to be rather underdeveloped. Don't know what it was going to entail, but it sounded pretty interesting. (Not that i care much for multiplayer.)
