[quote who="Alstein" reply="46" id="3019242"] A lack of misogyny is why anime had its big boom in the 90s, largely at the expense of comic books. which have done a damn fine job of making sure half the population will never have much interest in their work. [/quote] lost me there. manga are stereotypically divided into boy/man and woman/girl audiences (that's not to say the other gender don't read them!)... latter is more akin to mills and boons, chick lit, whatever

.... dos prompt? XD stuff the selected ones into a folder and off you go? ---- i like faststone. but hate the fact that it can't do unicode filenames/paths

this is a bit weird.. i replaced my power supply a few months ago (the people checking it said the power supply was dead... as opposed to switch or motherboard)... and now sometimes hitting the power on switch does nothing. (twice? so far?) wonder if i simply didn't hit it properly or what, as a 2nd hit boots up just fine.

is that an axe or some weird miniature warhammer?

... you employ kids? blimey

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="29" id="3017477"] I understand it's turnbased with realtime battles. Is it realtime like Dawn of War & StarCraft or realtime with pause like Knights of the Old Republic? Do you build buildings that generate money, research and production like Master of Magic and GalCiv II ? Are there skill involved in the battles? Is it like StarCraft II (positioning and being fast), Dawn of War II (using cover'n'counters) or perhaps Ag

surely it's to stop resale rather than piracy. though it's basically the same thing according to the publishers

I don't know that for a fact. Perhaps W8 makes it's own Rescue disk or system clone? If you're curious, ask MS re the OEM... From Windows 8 Forum (about the preview w8): http://www.forumswindows8.com/system-security/windows-8-recovery-disc-374.htm [/quote]

so, basically antivirus rescue disks are toast? don't need to be an enthusiast to use those surely?

when it says it won't boot.. what does that mean? it won't boot another os from the hdd? or it won't boot from anything like different hdd, usb or cd/dvd? because there are things like linux based antivirus cd/dvd... does that mean they won't work? mind you.. first read this like a month or 2 ago..

how would it work or how would i find out which one is allowed?

um... is it possible to move games from impulse to steam? i mean, i only have the 2 on impulse... sots:ce and ewom. whereas i have a few (not many!) more over in steam. since e:fe (or at least the beta?) might be had from the new stardock central thing which means no need for impulse, i'm hoping ewom can be done via that too... which leave sots:ce on impulse only. basically boils down to, having 1 account is better than 2, 2 better tha

not exactly sure why you want a big galaxy. 1 system is just the same as another really. next time i try with beams and not cannons, i'll just use the smallest one around. i didn't even bother with half the worlds out there.

wouldn't be surprised to see some fe stuff in wom at a later date if fe works out. that is if those things fit in with wom. stuff like champs from quests or some such for example... think i saw fb mention that

taikourissiden from koei (series) not really ground breaking or anything like that per se.. just memorable... it's a mix of rpg/strategy. basically you control a samurai and work your way to the top by fulfilling tasks every month. it got broader in the later entries, but can't say i liked those minigames that represents learning talents. (or for that matter performing certain actions) core concept has lots of potential.

[quote who="DsRaider" reply="9" id="2942409"] Quoting greggbert, reply 8I want a kracken mount. Actually having 2 fully water-based races would be really cool, like they did in Alpha Centauri. Real men ride dolphins to war![/quote] then you terraform their water into land (or volcano) and kill them all?

... sea combat... does it even exist? just imagine.. you have 1 ship and then you have another ship... do they shoot stuff from far away? do they board each other? do they board each other with the troops carried inside?

um... i think you can bring up infobox that shows caravans details. or at least you used to be able to. finding the bloody caravan in the 1st place is the problem.

[quote who="Lord Xia" reply="50" id="2940684"]The Naval question is a good one. The game needs some kind of mechanic to be able to travel to other lands. Always having to play a pangaea type world gets boring. Certainly it can be done, Other much older games have done it. I would like to hear from Kael or Toby what is in store for the Navy. Islands with rare sites, water monsters, pirates, there can be all type of fun shit to do! [/quote]

... what does field fortification do though? a base that holds X units, sort of a field hospital that can be bypassed at will?

... is naval stuff cut too? don't see any use for them

4x? you mean it's not 5x or even 7x?

[quote who="Grizzyloins" reply="33" id="2934986"] Quoting Lord Xia, reply 30Quoting Phylast57, reply 26I'll have to review my Sun Tzu. Lu Bu's name sounds familiar to that text though the vernacular reference to his diminished manhood I do not recall Lu Bu played a major role during the end of the Later Han dynasty, he was known as the greatest warrior of his age, but also treacherous. and dumb as a post on every game I&#
