this would definitely kill off possibilities of multiplayer, won't it. (not that i play multiplayer) as it would be a bad idea to mix 32bit and 64bit players, were it to be possible in the 1st place. and splitting would definitely have even less players who will do multi.

[quote] + Unit Traits, allows for unit specialization - Zero Unit customization [/quote] a bit contradictory. when you lvl up units and pick traits (or pay for equipment type traits) you don't have to do it all 1 way.. for the same type of units. there's customisation. might not be as detailed or varied as picking an armband over a pair of gloves (or whatever).. but it's there in some form. well.. ok.. you don't get to pick different

well.. seriously don't see the big deal regarding wmp... don't people just use vlc? (well... vlc 1.1.9 anyway... vlc 2 dies on me for whatever reason.. haven't tried newer versions of that) it's free (eh.. don't know about businesses but what do i care about them?) heck.. i only use wmp when listening to online radios from a different country. which is rather infrequent.

what makes you think you can get someone to live on a ship for 40 years without having them kill themselves off? and if you can do that, then there's no reason why it won't be one of them generation ship thing, where generations live and die on the ship for no purpose other than some descendant get to the other side. even if you can get a drive built tomorrow, it'll just be a lump of junk fit for nothing more than a robot probe.

um... but since it ground to a halt when accessing folders when booted from livecd, won't it ground to a halt if i stick it on my machine too? i don't know what it has, so don't want it anywhere my machine XD

there's this xp box of my relative that has sort of died. basically it had some sort of infection and when winxp booted up it just slow to a crawl. when booting up a livecd antivirus, it mentioned some sort of hdd issue, nonetheless it looked cleaned. however, it was still crawling speed, for example when attempting to access files in the hdd from a livecd. apparently i screwed up some bootup files or some such after a few hard reset too many

what... you get to pull out/plug in a cartridge like thing that is.. eh.. the motherboard? another cartridge for cpu? makes more sense to just sell another console edition every few years.

surely it's more than achievement? steamworks does match making and all that (in general), doesn't it? (not necessarily good.. or used for a particular game.. but hey...)

i would have thought the whole point of console is that there isn't a ton of different hardware. ie. .1 environment to make developing things easy. allowing upgrades... that can't work. certainly not the way people change mb/cpu/etc...

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="25" id="3086972"] IMO, the OS vendor should be providing this stuff for free and aggressively supporting it. But they're not. [/quote] i don't know.. i hate gfwl and don't want to be anywhere near it. last thing i want is for something similar to steam integrated into the os that i can't turn off at will... take dow2. need both steam (patching/drm) and gfwl (network/drm)... steamworks or similar

i started a game in .85 and am a bit wary of updating to .86 as i was expecting .87 to pop up soon after heavenfall's report on some dodgy tag (no idea what it does...) and other crash bits. should i expect .87 soon? can't really make a judgement based on a few turns of .85

[quote who="Derek Paxton" reply="8" id="3090106"]They also reduce movement, impact the tile yield of nearby tiles, and effect what can be in that tile from a world generation standpoint.[/quote] the reduce movement bit makes sense, as does any terrain buffs/mali... but the rest, does it matter once you've plonked a city down already? does the original city square lose base production/food if you chop down surrounding forests? city base production is based on the til

not sure why it says "show kingdom info" when the faction is clearly empire. similarly, why use "kingdom report" must be a better word around somewhere if you use kingdom/empire with specific meanings...

bandit lord "Player stars with 2 Bandit units" obviously meant starts.. though stars could work...
