[quote who="Zubaz" reply="22" id="3097622"]Fences does not interact with the directory structure in any way. It is a desktop layer app. no more, no less.[/quote] I see. Thanks for reply.
I have a question about Fences. From explorer point of view "vanilla" Windows desktop looks like this: folders on desktop are folders in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Desktop folder (at least in XP) and shortcuts (or other files) on desktop are shortcuts (or other files) in the same folder. How does a fence, from explorer point of view, look like? Is it simply a folder with special name that tells Fences program to interpret it as a fence, not as a folder?</

If you don't like SD distribution policy don't buy their games. It's this simple, really.
[quote who="Cruxador" reply="28" id="3096547"]It's possible that very slight reduction would occur in with some forms of plate, especially earlier forms, and it would certainly occur in ill-fitting plate. However plate armor was intended to offer full articulation and be easy to move in, and by and large was entirely successful. The misconception that it's heavy and difficult to move in stems primarily from D&D, and D&D-based video games. Turns out Arneson and Gygax couldn'
[quote who="Cruxador" reply="25" id="3096504"]quoting postWe’ve grown up thinking that plate male is always the best and you should just toss that on to everything.But... That's pretty much true, assuming you can afford it. Like, the benefit of putting full armor on an archer is pretty small because you don't want your archers in combat. But that doesn't mean that full plate (with the historically accurate padding underneath) isn't still the best option for him if you ha
Thanks for this Frogboy! When I've looked at the second screenshot I remembered this . I know these kind of stuff must have low priority level, but they bug me a little.

[quote who="seanw3" reply="4" id="3095658"] One of the questions beta testers have been talking about is the problem of techs having prerequisites in other trees that force the player to research every tree to the point of those prereqs, preventing true focus on one tree.[/quote] So there's practically one tech tree. "Three tech trees" is just a UI thing. Good to know (I don't have FE beta). I'm not saying it's a bad thing.
I like the idea of basing the game on those three pillars: three tech trees, three types of buildings, maybe three types of units (but there are no workers like in civ and caravans are gone, so there are practically no " laboratores", only pioneers ), and even three types of cities. We don't really need to have three simultaneous productions lines to make those three main domains of society visible. [quote] I will present my trifunctio

Hi! :) Edit: I see that you've suggested the very same thing. I'm sorry I didn't read carefully [e digicons]:rolleyes:[/e] (A minute after posting I edited my previous post to explain why I want to "shift" initiative, still similar to your idea, isn't it?).

In Civilization III there is a similar concept to outposts -- colonies: "Resources must be 'connected' to a civilization's infrastructure (via a road or railroad) and must be within that civilization's cultural border to be utilized; a resource outside of the cultural border can still be utilized by connecting a road to it and building a colony (colonies are easily destroyed and are targeted by barbarians, so they must be defended)."
