back to business indeed ;) [quote who="Frogboy" reply="143" id="3280868"] dont take away investment capital. Profits = investment capital[/quote] Investment capital is certainly a good thing. Investment capital is one part of the complex system that results in economic growth. Two problems with this theory though (of profits = investment capital = prosperity/growth) 1. Let us assume that infinite investment cap
My apologies ... I will try to minimize the politik in this subforum then. May I just take a moment to address the points raised in the previous post. 1. Yes, I am aware that the Soviets during his administration thought him a maniac, and almost pre-emptively striked us over it ;) 2. His popularity probably comes from bringing down the Berlin Wall 3. third best in last 50 years was just the aggregate of the (Wikipedia based) data I collected To p
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="148" id="3282153"]The current economic slow down has a lot of reasons. The most obvious has to do with uncertainty. Uncertainty in the middle class because the value of their most valuable asset -- their homes -- has been wiped out. Uncertainty with companies who aren't hiring due to increased regulations, the unknown effects of the health care law and raised taxes. Uncertainty is an economic killer.[/quote]
[quote who="seanw3" reply="22" id="3281538"]I guess no one found my viral marketing idea funny. You could make millions on spam that uses terrorist keywords though. Millions.[/quote] Yanno, I liked the joke, but just now found the thread. I dunno, I mean yea sending in material and/or spam/ advertisements with the keywords would be cool, but even just messing with them by using game-terminology extremely ambiguously to make it sound like something bad. For example: "Di
[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="11" id="3281331"]You guys have lost a lot of civil liberties since the Patriot Act started making its mucky grabs. It really is a diverging point in history compared to other, more free cultures. Maybe you'll recover eventually. I shudder to think what another successful terrorist act would do to you though.[/quote] Hmm, I wonder if my middle-school prediction (around 9/11 post 9/11) will come true, that America will become a Fascist military police
A fish 'called' wanda ;) I haven't seen it, but it seems decent enough.
Yea, hotseat would be nice ... its limited in use, but I don't think it'd take a lot of resources to make available. (only weakness would be difficulty to tactical battle each other ... but you could even treat those particular tactical battles like a hotseat ;) )
I think you can do simul turns as long as you have an "observe" option for each tactical battle. Gentleman's rule would generally be that ppl would click "allow observers" for tac battles. Ofc, in FE the early battles are so small that ... well, it would be preferable for tac battles to be allowed to run parallel (if possible).
main cause of lack of growth/jobs is the wage freeze on employees by EVERYONE. By inflation alone this systematically impoverishes the working class, thus decreasing the consumer base significantly. (over last 30 years, very low taxes for rich yet not many new jobs/ definitely no increased wages for the majority of the working class (at least not nearly as fast an increase as inflation/cost of living for instance)
[quote who="LORD-ORION" reply="26" id="3247678"] You are ridiculous if your position is that productivity and profits to the wealthy over the past 30 years justify a decrease in taxes after watching the results from 2004 until now. [/quote]
Unfortunately when I first saw paranormal activity I thought it was "supposed" to be real. Didn't help that it was around Halloween ;) Later ofc, it was obvious it was all fake, but talk about a scary drive from the theatre :P
I think its incorporated into a mod or two. Yes it was in the beta. Design decision to remove it.
great post Seanw, I'm sure Valentine will end up in a museum somewhere ... maybe as "greatest artists of our time", or something similar. "The Hall of Troll Fame"?
Fallen Enchantress a really cool game. I don't quite play it as much as FFH, but thats partly due to FFH having MP, and me being more used to modding FFH ;) FE is a great game, and it can do many things FFH cannot. :)
I feel like "Critical Chance" shouldn't be involved with Magic. If Magic has Critical Hits, I think it should be connected to a separate stat (attached to path of the mage). ----> Hell, Crits could be a reason to really double down on the Spell Mastery even if you have "enough" mastery under normal conditions (ie increasing magical crit change). I'm sure there would be a reasonable way to do it.
Primal Carnage beast list Virtuous Beasts Armadon (spikey one) Blizzard (ice monkey) Sauron (orange T-rex) Talon (Raptor) Chaos Beasts Chaos (acid/decay Ape) Diablo (red T-rex) Vertigo (Blue Cobra thing) My favorites were Talon and Vertigo ;) (apparantly Talon is the god of survival and Vertigo is the god of insanity)
Primal rage you had Monkeys vs Dinos. Primal Carnage just took the idea and made an FPS with it ;)
[quote who="Kamamura_CZ" reply="13" id="3278242"]To introduce range penalties is fine, but longbows used to have range of 200 yards, a bow that could not shoot at the 50 or so steps wide battleground that are used in the game would be a pitiful toy indeed.[/quote] Quite. A bow's range shouldn't come into play except for in really BIG maps ;)
Izzat Borderlands? (or borderlands2)
[quote who="Tuidjy" reply="46" id="3276973"] Actually, chance to resist = (100 + spell resistance - spell mastery) / 100[/quote] True. I do, however, find it easier conceptually to represent it as (100 - spell mastery + spell resistance)%
I like the idea of Hunters getting double loot. Hunter-> +50% damage vs beasts, access to hunter equipment (think Hunters Bow and Hunter's Axe), and double loot from non-human enemies (or just plain double loot)
probably Krax like ... plentiful use of the silver toungue ability, taking +diplomacy sov traits (if any) ... using their own units against them while working up your caster sovereign. Possibly a fire sov ... but possibly death. Either way, definitely diplomat over warlock. And most mana probably went into silver toungue ... so I'm not surprised if you went air mana instead for the +experience buff (and maybe earth for the defensive buffs)
with the Class however ... yea ... Beast Lord, Spider Lord, and Reptile Lord/ Serpent Lord could all be separate ... (or a beast lord could upgrade to either Spider Lord or Serpent lord at a certain level ...) --> hell, maybe even throw in an Elemental Lord ;)
as far as expanding the tech tree .... "Allies" as the first, which includes Mercenaries for all, and Wildlings/Darklings for Empires. Then it splits into "Strong Allies" and "Reptilian Kin" Strong Allies gives you either Knights of Asok for Kingdoms or Trolls n Ogres for Empires. Reptilian Kin gives you Najas/Ophidians ... and possibly Slags/Skathi (Skaths might even be mountable?) Then, IF we are able to have an OR pre-req ... have eith
Hmm, if you had to bring shit down to 25 HP in order to capture it ... I'd really want Naja, Ophidians, and Dragons to be part of that list ;) Or maybe a separate trait called Reptile-lord which only captures Slags/ Skaths/ Naja/ and Dragons
