You can always move to Australia - here it is not (quite) that bad. ;-) We do have a (relatively) well working Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) which covers certain costly things (like medicines and some treatments). Best regards, Steven.

Yes, I brought up this issue (being reduced to 2 Movement Points when you have more than 2 upon loading a save game) a couple of times before I think, one quite a while back. It would be fantastic if it was fixed, as it is a case of saved games not saving all their information, or the game ignoring some of it when it loads, one or the other. And I don't think being in a city should count as being in a queue (especially since you can have more than 16 units in a city at once).<

I wonder how Palemoon will handle the FF4 update. Best regards, Steven.

No, it's not the CivFanatics forum, or even the new complete RIFE forum, but I knew of a similar concept in a similar game, so I mentioned it. =) Best regards, Steven.

I agree, the 1.2 game is definitely not ready for release right now. Best regards, Steven.

How can it be a release candidate when there are still a lot of OOM problems? Best regards, Steven.

I agree with this. If balance/gameplay concerns were the only ones, I would encourage Stardock to make "SP with humans", at least for FE, I think many would love such a feature. But if they don't have the money, I wouldn't want them to do it. Question is, which scenario is it? Best regards, Steven.

I agree with putting a number next to the shard icon, at least when there are more than one. Best regards, Steven.

It's like a feature in the FFH2/Fall Further modmod Rise from Erebus - Spawn Groups, but with a little randomness thrown in. =) Best regards, Steven.

Well, there is Pale Moon, which is based on Firefox (and supports most of its add-ons) but is a huge amount faster. Best regards, Steven.

Oh, I haven't been using WinCustomize, so I didn't know. So you say LastPass has no support for ImageShack? Best regards, Steven.

Have you tried LastPass for passwords? It is free and works on all browsers AFAIK. It also only uses a data "blob" of your username and password (hashed I think) so they can't even be forced to give up your details. There was a tech review of LastPass by someone or other, and basically they couldn't find anything wrong with it. It apparently works on all browsers and devices, has a free multifactor authentication (essentially a battleship grid) and you can save a local

I personally think the game is fun with the current graphics at higher resolutions (more map showing, battle/castle screen fits inside overworld map). The graphics hold their own well enough, especially with all the gameplay improvements, and I think H2 was ahead of its time with graphics when it was released. But I'll let you decide whether you want to spend the US$9.99 - it's your money. =) Best regards, Steven.

The graphics are the same as in original H2, except a lot more of the main map can be shown in one screen on higher resolutions, and this simple change does improve the feel of the game quite a bit. And it is also neat that the Castle screen or tactical battle screen fits "inside" the larger map screen on higher res, giving a feeling that the castle/battle is part of the fantasy map/world.

Like in H4, or slightly different? What implementation would you suggest? You can always make a post in fheroes2's Feature Requests Tracker on sourceforge. (I'm not sure at this stage if I would agree to having troops untargetable as they're travelling, but that's probably my only caveat at this point in time.) Best regards, Steven.

Well, we are all doing the best we can to understand the world we live in. None of us is born with the knowledge of the way the world works, and why some things are and some things aren't. You might describe science as faith, and maybe it is, but what else do you we have to do all day and night? Just say "there is lots to discover, and I'll never discover it all, so I'll just sit around doing nothing." What is "life" hasn't even been defined. Why are some composi

An interesting book to read is called "The China Study". Basically they studied a huge amount of the diets of people in the various provinces of China, where they had been eating the same diet (but varying by place) for generations. And the health benefits of the healthier diets were lost when they changed to western diets. The research was very rigorous, and I haven't heard it directly contradicted from anywhere. =) Have a read of it if you are at all curious in wha

AFAIK, not entirely sure though, magic resistance either rolls on or off. I don't think there is damage mitigation (ie. reduction of damage), just block or not. I may be wrong though. =) Best regards, Steven.
