[quote who="Frogboy" reply="651" id="3403462"] How does this contradict what I wrote? What % of current global warming is attributed to human activity?[/quote] What does that actually matter? Global warming is attributed to human activity , and the scientific consensus is decided. If you want to argue against it, get some sources out. There is too much I do no
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="636" id="3403376"] Consensus does not belong in science. period. It was not a better theory of phlogiston that came up with the concept of air being composed of gases. It was going against the supposed consensus.[/quote] Again, you prove that you are not a scientist, you are just a tool for the republican party in the US, or denialists globally sorry. I retract my apology. Feel free to PM me if you disagree.
[quote who="ZombiesRus5" reply="629" id="3403343"] Why has the earth not warmed in the last 15 years if human carbon output is the main driver of global warming?[/quote] The article quoted by Dr Guy has one hypothesis. Read it if you want. [quote who="Frogboy" reply="630" id="3403351"]But do I accept that humans are the primary cause of temperature fluctuations? No. No I don't.

Hmm.. It could be FE as well. You have any other steam games to test with?
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="626" id="3403333"]I have merely pointed out the science is not settled. If that is "denial" to you, then please return when you learn how science works.[/quote] Science is never settled. That's what makes it science. You replace one theory with a better one, when new scientific work with evidence is presented. Until then you accept the consensus, and that is for Global warming, as have been said earlier in this thread. Not accepting the consensus
[quote who="Dr Guy" reply="623" id="3403313"] So you want to READ what I said and comment? You are welcome to critique the paper, and even offer your own opinion. But you are not free to lie about what I said.[/quote] You are right, I assumed from previous posts you were still trying to deny global warming. My apologies if you've changed your mind.
Well, you might think that would work, but keep in mind some people are "economical illiterate" by default so it's no easy thing, and the current decline in stable marriages does not help either. (usually at least one person in a marriage is capable of dealing with things like this, and no it's not a man vs woman thing) So far what works best is controlling lenders really, aggressive lending marketing to those people gets them into disastrous debt etc. usually if they get decl

This is why a commander hero for support is great. Command and you get 2x Ceresa at the beginning of combat. With mage and savant that is graveseal on their entire army.
Spells do. No idea how to translate strategic spells into passive tactical ones though.
You can mod it in. Don't think it's possible to get it in a normal game. is the name. Lots of ways to get it into the game (quests etc.), but that mount is ridiculously powerful.

To be fair, communism as practiced in the Soviet Union is nowhere near the real definition of Communism either. But hey, it works for Republicans to get more votes right? Socialism = Communism, Win/Win more votes. (OBAMACARE = COMMUNISM, LETS KILL GOVERNMENT!)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="548" id="3402697"]That society is known as communism. Seriously. You just defined communism.[/quote] .... Define Communism for me please. Also elaborate how the wealthy in our current world is entitled to their riches. From my perspective the important people in society are vastly underpaid in governments today, while psychopathic capitalists are rewarded on their behalf, on no other reason than "Capitalism" rules. And hell, if someone else sa
Yeah, don't expect Stardock to fix abusive stuff. I abused Paragon for my first Insane win as well, and they did not fix that until LH. (and overnerfed it and DG tbh) Try to beat the AI's at their own game, and you will get the challenge you need. Not to take away your insane win by all means, but there is still challenge left in the AI's ;)
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="538" id="3402677"] Seriously though, I have no doubt you can come up with examples of where a government research project has netted some good. However, that has very little to do with the macroscopic issue at hand.[/quote] You quote a fallacy and respond with another one. Great.

Air magic is rare among champions, and high essence Grace of Air or whatever it's called is sick for troop creation. Air is one of the best sovereign magics, since the rest are fairly easy to get from fame. I would count Beastlord+Titan's breath abusive, since it can't be countered by AI, but that's just me :) (I think Parrothmath made a mod to fix it as well, get that for a more Balanced game if you want to use Bears and Beastlord)
I've only had the accuracy problem when AI's started researching the %accuracy repeatable tech. Before that, dodge from ranged and Guardian wind can handle most ranged damage. (it reduces it a lot, though not removing it completely, but it stacks well with leather armor) I've never found focus worth it, since it needs 4+ spells to make it worthwhile, and the combat decision should be over by then.

Earthquakes are the worst. I tried doing an Insane defensive game, and then the AI spammed Earthquake on my cities..... failed. :/ (this was FE vanilla though)

[quote who="joeball123" reply="8" id="3402588"]That brings up a point I perhaps should have mentioned - Capitar, with the focus given to money production in its faction traits, should be the best faction for rushing production, equipping champions, or purchasing scrolls. You don't need to find a Blizzard Scroll in random loot - you can get a Conclave to level 3, put up a Scroll Scribe, and suddenly you've obtained access to Blizzard Scrolls whenever you want them[/quote] Yeah,
