It does? I didn't know. (to prove your point)

I use the outposts, but they seem too vulnerable to invest a lot into them. Last night they kept changing hands constantly so I didn't see much point in upgrading so that my enemies could just walk in and take them for his advantage.

I played awhile this weekend and it looks good. While I do like the way heroes are acquired now, how many heroes can we potentially get in a game? I think I ended up with 4 and a couple of them didn't seem all that great. Maybe if I would have been able to level them up more, maybe my thoughts on them would have been different. I would have liked to have replaced or retired them. Especially as they seemed to be magnets for punishment and this one hero kept

[quote who="Darxim" reply="4" id="3333932"] From what I understand, the Swarm mechanic, while it looks like the other units are attacking, they're not. Instead, they're lowering the target's defense by distracting it. I'm assuming that it will drop it into the negatives causing the damage to increase, because sometimes I get some pretty high damage numbers with it. I would like to see the math involved, or at least a more detailed explanation, because s

[quote quoting="post"] I'm going to say this from the beginning to make myself very clear. If you are a Steam fanboy, which is the same as a Steam supporter, then kindly shut the hell up and don't comment on how wonderful Steam works, don't give me platitudes like "I've been using Steam for several years and I have never had a problem with it". You're a liar if you say something like that. I hope that is blunt enough for all who read this. If you don't like it, s

What about Delicious? I've been using it for over 4 years now and love it. I'd be lost without it. Aside from having my bookmarks accessible from any browser, any computer I use, I'm in love with the Delicious Bookmarks Toolbar. I use different tags to organize what I want on the toolbar. For example, I have "toolbar:support" (links to our 3rd party support services), "toolbar:company" (our company links), "toolbar:companyit" (links to our IT pages), "favorites

My sons (11,12) have both been playing Civ V and enjoying it. They weren't interested in playing Civ IV, albeit that was a couple years ago and they're a little older and smarter now. However there's something about Civ V that's got them hooked. Even though it means more competition as to who gets to play, I think it's awesome.

Looks like Mythos is making a comeback! For anyone who enjoyed this game before Flagship Studios met it's demise, you may want to check this out and sign up for the beta.

Yeah, the AI could use some work. I was fighting a war with Askia to the south of me (takes 3 turns for units to travel from capital to front) when England declared war. I had to make peace with Askia and start shifting to meet England. I survived the initial onslaught and then France declared. Red and Blue units everywhere. I survived the initial rounds and then it was like they disappeared. Between the two of them they should have easily wiped the floor

I often thought that for Mass Effect 2, they should have someone who really knows the game to play through it and use the footage for a movie and sell it. That to me was more entertaining than StarCraft II's cut scenes.

Way to necro a thread that's over 6 months old. Seems to be occurring more frequently lately.

I honestly regret buying the game. Don't get me wrong, I loved the campaign but I haven't touched the game since I finished the campaign. So it really wasn't worth the $60 I spent on it. One of the disappointments I had with the game was here I spent all this time playing the Terran units in the campaign and when it came to multiplayer units like the medic, firebat, goliath were not available.
