Yea, I don't build either of them. I need to just mod them out since I've seen XCOM barbarians. At least they can't jump as barbs.
I finally had an AI use paratroopers against me with some effect yesterday on emperor difficulty. He pillaged a road linking 4 inland cities (my fault for lack...
I love the airport, but I hate that the AI doesn't seem to understand it. Automated workers certainly don't. They embark from one continent to travel past two others to improve a new colony of mine that I rushed an airport in so I could send my small manual crew of workers to improve the...
You know what having different servers to handle those interested in the content is called? Instancing. Tunare and Veeshan were different instances of the game EverQuest. Instancing is so fucking win. It's even better when you can have it on demand inside your server. It's likeInception, an...
According to my black friends, I am allowed to say "Wakandan" or "Wakandanh" endlessly and it's fine, but I cannot say "American Inventor". And I am to trust that all that hear will perceive the difference and allow me my freedom. I accused them of either 1) trying to get me fucked up or 2) being idiots. This...
I am curious if TM was the kind of guy that put a bunch of different flavor skittles in his mouth at once, or if heproperlyenjoyed each flavor separately? This kind of information would have swayed me as a juror.
Pacing in Civ 5 is terribad. There is a mod I enjoyed before, but it's being refreshed for the xpac atm. It's called Communitas or CEP (community expansion pack). The last expansion's version was called GEM iirc, if you want to roll back to G&K and play it fully formed. The version for this...
Races seem a bit more even-handed in appearance appeal compared to release WoW. That shit had a measurable effect on population distribution. Hell I generally avoid shorties and "evil", but those chua look win.
Are you confusing antiquities and ruins? I always get shit from ruins, so I don't know.
Sometimes the fog of war shows ruins where you saw them before (perhaps from a map extension ruin or a boat explorer) and they may have been grabbed between then and now, so you'll run over to an empty...
Yea, I try not to get caught up in my unbelief. The dialogue is much more normal in Kevin Smith's movies, but he has said that, IRL, he and his friends do not speak nearly as well as his characters, who are casual gods of debate.
Yea, they've put a lot of effort into smoothing out the early days, and the game is beautiful so hopefully people just get in and go "awesome" all the time without getting mired in pointless complexity.
The headline was more entertaining than the article, but I am sufficiently amused. It hadn't occurred to me, and I am not looking forward to that. All the more reason for the newsroom to embrace an alternate reality.
Yea, welcome to the intrawebz? If you need the hookup on streaming/downloading movies for free, google will help you out. Just avoid searching for stupid shit like "download movies free".
BNW is pretty fly. It'll be better when communitas is back up to speed though.
I love trade routes and how they encourage you to put your army/navy out to protect them. Trade routes should basically be the core economic aspect of the game, not something tacked on in the second expansion. I...
That is indeed the point of PvP servers. Everything becomes something to control and fight for. PvE servers shouldn't focus on this PvP oriented competition.
That's a bit too macro. Day to day experience is relevant. What do the losers get to do when they're denied access to what they want to do? Do they log off and lose interest in the game as a whole? Do you ensure they have something captivating to do by providing more equal level content...
I don't see how liber8 isn't the obvious hero. It wasn't demonstrated that way in the first couple episodes of the show, but by the end of season one it was obvious to me that the future was basically a corporate oligarchy, of which we come to find one of the oligarchs (Sadler) is connected to...
It was alright. It's hard to tell where anything is at with one episode. I think I preferred Sports Night, which had most of the office elements with virtually none of the political angle. It's like the part I like most about Mad Men is when they're actually doing ad work at the office. The...
That's basically a form of PvP that isn't related to the durability of the NPC content. It's a battle for access. And what is the consolation prize for failing to gain access? You have no content tonight or whatever. That's not really a desirable outcome as you'll have plenty of players who...
I don't see how instances cause content to devalue. They cause you to be able to access it. Those that retain their access in a fully persistent world deal with the same problem, and everyone else is fucked. That's not an improvement. Either the pace at which you reward people for completing...
Yea, I can't do contact lenses or eyedrops or anything like that. My blink reflex or whatever is obscene. For that matter I'm nearly phobic about needles too. I have to meditate and/or pretend I'm somewhere else when I get shots. More than one nurse/doctor has said I'm the worst they've ever...
Yea, I was basically going for conquest, and then I got hemmed in by a triple alliance that made it difficult to push in any direction since I couldn't manage military parity despite luring two of them into a ranged assault that favored me. So I had to turtle, and while I was doing this I...
