[quote who="Tasunke" reply="45" id="2683662"]There are a lot of reasons to why Marijuana should be legalized Medically ... and at the same time if Marijuana WAS fully legalized it should be made with a patent block. Meaning that its open to the People, and not patent-owned. One of the primary reasons should be because it is hard to regulate, and easy to grow. Otherwise, non-patented marijuana trafficking might still cause problems.[/quote] I don't know the la

[quote] Pot is a universal cure-all, it's cheap, and people can grow their own at home and NOT NEED large corporations and they Don't Need to pay taxes on it. As such it's hard for the state and federal governments to track and regulate it, so instead they just make it illegal. By making it illegal they can also prosecute people for using it. This way they make twice as much money. It's a sad, Sad, state of affairs.[/quote] Yeah, but people can also grow the

So far, drug use has increased since they were made illegal, just as alcohol use was rampant (and actually rose) during Prohibition. Pretty much every country or state that has decriminalized or made a drug(s) legal has seen a decline in it's use, especially relative to areas with extreme penalties. As to the OP, no the drug war is not over or close to over unfortunately. In the end, even though a vast majority of facts point to legalizing drugs being the most benefici

And here all this time I and every law enforcement agency thought they just wanted money and power. Of course they want money and power. However DRUGS are the primary division between a Gang and a Secret Society. Gangs are easy to get into and are MUCH more rife with randomiz

[quote who="LightStar" reply="7" id="2683402"] To legalize drugs, while morally questionable, would be to quite literally take weapons (not all, but alot) out of EVERY gang in the US. Sorry to disagree, but all it would do is force them to start dealing in more lethal drugs, it would not do a thing as far as taking weapons away from them. If you are sick to begin with, you'll just find other ways to continue to feed that sickness.[/quote] So gangs

I agree that they are definitely in a decline right now. BW isn't unbearable to me, but yes compared to their games of yore (and those of their peers at the time) the new stuff isn't very exciting. What I really can't stand is the formulaic construction of their games nowadays. Not in the plots (although those aren't very good), but in the quests. KOTOR I and II and MEII (maybe the first, never played it), all have the "you command your own ship and can go anywher

So far it seems that they will. It's one of the features prominently displayed under the gameplay section of the lore tab, and there was a dev. journal that I can't find that gave just a small example of how they are improving upon the AI of past games such as GalCivII. Of course your mileage may vary, but from an objective standpoint based on the limited information available it certainly doesn't seem like Stardock is de-emphasizing the AI.

I would like to see this as well. You could do it in Lords of Magic and Age of Wonders (and probably in other games too) as a spell with a pretty minor mana cost. I found it annoying in the FFH mod for example, where your scout would pick up an artifact halfway around the world and you'd have to make the trek back to the homeland, wasting time and risking painful death to deliver a health potion or magic rod.
