muslims dont hate america as much as we think. the average muslim just doesnt make all that much noise. its the radical fundamentalist muslims (who make up the terrorist groups) that hate america, and they are the ones we hear from the most. yes, there are legitimate differences in policy between muslim countries and america (most notably the israel/palestine situation) but they dont hate us. and the pollution thing is interesting, actually. certainly, we should be doing much mor

ok i get it now. 1) i have never played that game. in fact, i have played very few games in my time. battlefront and battlefront 2 on ps2, a bunch of sports games, star wars: empire at war and its expansion, forces of corruption, republic commando, supreme commander, and cod4. my question, which will get very few takers i would imagine, this being a forum for a science fiction game In my lengthy experience as a sports gamer, i have found that the 2005 year o

hear hear! actually, looking at the schedule, i'm pretty sure the first look at diplomacy could have been today at 100 pdt. it still might be tomorrow. http://pax.stardock.com/
since most of us don't like researchable caps, perhaps we could have researchable upgrades. like, 50% increase in health for the battleship, 4 extra squadrons for the carrier, etc. thus you can have the basic caps, which would remain the same, and upgraded, which would have some of the suggestions made by raging amish and deceiver

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="68" id="2360340"] I had the impression that something had gone wrong with the ship, and thus they couldn't get out, exhausted supplies, and started to die. But perhaps I misheard.Yes, they had some sort of computer-based technical problem that shut down pretty much everything onboard. I think that it happened after they arrived here, for no real reason except for the fact that the ship seems unable to move until the problem is remedied, but it could easily ha

Reading that blurb gives me the impression that not only will the third micro expansion not come out, but that also SoaSE 2 will never find it's way onto our PC's. Perhaps I'm reading a little too much into it? I don't know - "c

[quote who="Warlord Mike" reply="563" id="2360119"]Something I just realized about the Akkan's Colonize - the free extractors it gives do NOTHING for Dead Asteroids, while both Progenitor (reduced cost) and Egg (faster build) do. Since TEC are the only ones who could build civics structures at DAs, the lowered cost of civics structures would make sense, now that I think about it. If one combined this with the Modular Architecture upgrade, then if a 60% reduction at level

[quote who="Warlord Mike" reply="557" id="2359439"]I have an idea about a solution to fix the Akkan... When it colonizes planets, it gives 1/2/2 extractors at levels 1/2/3, respectively. However, at each progressing level, the cost of building civics structures is reduced by, say 20%/30%/40% for the next 4/8/12 minutes (240/480/720 seconds) at those levels, as well. Alternatively, one could just have the civics reduction cost and call it good, but this is just
i think it sounds like a good idea. it would give the marauder slightly more usefulness, and it doesnt seem to give any advantage early game, so its pretty balanced in and of itself. it only saves some money for the vasari late game
