[quote who="starkers" reply="25" id="2973327"] Quoting Dr Guy, reply 6For once, I would love for a foreign country to tell off the US. This is clearly a case of US imperialism, and it could only come under a democrat president. Dunno about a country, but an Aussie court told the US to piss off with regard to iinet.com.au. The RIAA and movie equivalent charged that iinet allowed/encouraged piracy because it never issued warnings to users who illegally downloaded music and

So some accounts have been deleted permanently?? Best regards, Steven.

I agree. Best regards, Steven.

This is kinda what I feel. I'll still probably enjoy FE, but at least "on the surface" it could have a more diverse spell list. However if the AI can use all the spells in the game, that would be a big improvement on MoM, but when solely comparing the diversity of spells/races/abilities, MoM is still ahead. It will be interesting to see if the AI can effectively use the spells it has to use in FE, AI is one area that *can* be improved from MoM if done right. Best

Well, I don't use Facebook (or Google+) at all. But there are some who would use Google+ as long as the TOS aren't too draconian. Best regards, Steven.

Yes, if Google wants to get the edge over Facebook they need to fix this lockout issue, pronto. Best regards, Steven.

Great ideas! Best regards, Steven.

Yeah, I guess it is that old expectation/entitlement thing, one which is reasonable, one which probably isn't. But my two posts recently (97 and 100) were not unequivocally negative. So if it sounded unduly negative, I'd like to say that I still am looking forward to FE, however I was expressing an emotional response more than anything else. And I agree that the current spell list is a work in progress. =) Also, if the AI can effectively use the spells on the

FE could still be a lot of fun. It just looks like, the spells do not have that "magical touch", at least from reading their effects. Best regards, Steven.

I think the way spells are presented in the PDF, it seems that FE is more an expansion rather than a new game, at least in terms of magic. It doesn't matter quite so much if some spells are overpowerful when there is such variety in character and use that MoM had. And FE is going to be primarily a single player game - it looks like FE could be quite a good game, but in some areas it doesn't *seem* that FE is advancing as much on WoM as could be. Note I say "seem" not

Me too. Best regards, Steven.

How about a damage mitigation resistance (rather than just all or nothing resistance) for cities based on the buildings/population etc. in that city, and/or a much greater mana cost for destroying cities the bigger and more developed they are? Best regards, Steven.

And the simple fact is, we are all different and there are some things we, as individuals, will never come to agreement over, and this is perhaps one of them. EDIT: You posted 41 seconds before I did. =) Best regards, Steven.

In Australia the public health system is recognised by both major parties. While it is not perfect, it works quite well and is just part of the landscape. But the profit motive says nothing for a great deal of kindness and compassion, and a lot (all?) of the free computer programs that many of us use would not exist if the profit motive was applied to everything. The economy is not the sum total of human capacity - why do open source and free programs exist? Just what

The way Doctor Who is made, it is both serious *and* comical, and it can shift quickly from one to the other. Best regards, Steven.

How do you completely delete an existing account, no way back? Best regards, Steven.

Words don't begin to describe it. This is absolutely, totally ridiculous - how could this even be happening? If you made something up it would be difficult to make it worse-sounding than this. This says more for the breakdown in many things, including common decency, in the US than anything else I've seen. I wonder if that guy taking the lady to court about the garden needs a definition of what "common decency" actually, really means?? As he seems to know

Although the resources used for each child in the first world is a *lot* higher. And the reason I was considering not having kids was not to do with not getting economic benefit, but not wanting to bring them into a crowded world that would not have many positive opportunities. Best regards, Steven.

No, not having children is a personal, or personal/partner, choice. It's just like saying that not trying professional chess is giving up on life, even if you are quite good at HOMM or other turn-based fantasy, or not running a successful business if you can handle money well is giving up on life. And as I said, you don't have to have children to have a positive influence on the world, and to care for people. Every environment has a maximum population it can support,

Onya Heavenfall! (Australian slang for "Good on you". ;-)) Keeping the great mod support up, even if the devs aren't! Best regards, Steven.

Wow. I've had a good read of the website. I have talked in the past with some of my friends about humanity acting like a parasite on the Earth. But I, even as I am, I find it hard to accept that we are a failed species. I prefer to see the good in us. Maybe what I could say is that I will do my best not to bring new people into the world (who could in turn bring new people into the world, and so on, so it's not just replacing our population). I gues

Yeah. Because of the basically certain result of our overpopulation, I am seriously considering not having any kids, but just to do my best to help others the best I can. We can still live our lives in the moment, doing the best to be kind and help people, especially focusing on our nearest and dearest, but not restricting ourselves to be kind to just them. When it comes down to it, the quality of one's moments is more important than the quantity of one's moments.</p

A good example of an open-source mod labour of love is fheroes2 (adding features/bug-fixing to standard HOMM 2). You don't want to be using archers when a powerful AI is capable of casting Shield and Mass Shield (something that didn't happen in standard HOMM 2). Also, the bug that increased damage when you had Shield on units when attacking a castle has been fixed in fheroes2. When reall

But that would be a paradox! Oh nooes! ;-) Best regards, Steven.

Yes. Because it is so close to a 100% fact any future event can be, that there will be a massive population crash sooner or later, it will sort itself out. But not very easily, and very painfully for most if not all people on Earth. Even the lucky(??) ones who survive won't be happy. Which is why I'm leaning towards having no kids myself. You don't have to have kids to be a part of improving people's lives. And "baby bonuses" and the like
