So if i bought Escalation on top of the original game i bought back around November 2015, which IIRC was at the time in Early Access, am i going to get additional DLCs to Escalation now for free? Am i reading this right? Will naval units/gameplay be in one of these DLCs? Regarding merging and whatnot, i think you are making it complicated to yourself for no reason. Escalation is superior game to the original the same way Rebellion is to original 2008 Sins. IMO anyone who

Since bunch of your PHC units bear names from Greek mythology, may i suggest names Atlas and Kerberos/Cerberus for the PHC T3/T4 units to continue this trend.

Being sick and bored, not feeling like doing things i should be doing, decided to update this thread with list of shows i watched during 2016.... X-Files 2016 - it was terrible, bar maybe 1 or 2 episodes? Which were actually passable cause of the comical relief? Seriously, i was looking forward to it, this time around a year ago, and could not be more disappointed 12 Monkeys - 2nd Season - 1st season was IMO promising, but the
How about making the Substrate P4 airborne? At least one, if not all of them? Anyway, the factions dont need just bunch of new units, but some kind of sophisticated tech-tree to differentiate factions further. They still lack any semblance of character or uniqueness when comparing one to another, Escalation done very little in this regard. Just bunch of new units does not cut it.
So i saw the movie on sunday evening and IMO it was superior to last years movie. Not calling it masterpiece, as mainstream movies like this these days rarely are, not enough depth allowed for that, but it was pretty much how i imagined SW 7 to be.... only for it to end up carbon copy of A new hope. All in all, surprisingly, i was fairly satisfied.
I have Corsair H105 on my i7 6850K. I have it OCed @ 4,2GHz/1,3 Vcore and the temps are 28-29 at idle and 50-55 when fully loaded (during Cinebench rendering). So i guess i can recommend, if you are willing to spend so much. This is the first time i have water-cooling. I had it installed by a friend, but i dont think its somehow different to how regular heatsinks are mounted - i would not be scared of it.
[quote who="psychoak" reply="13" id="3659715"] It all depends on what you're playing, the current trend makes the power of your processor less relevant, not more so. A hyper-threaded quad is already more horsepower than you should ever need for a video game in the next several years. If you've stopped playing anything like Sins, sure, it's not really a concern. If you're still burning a few hours a week on it and you'd really like to play a huge game
[quote who="psychoak" reply="11" id="3659652"] Be aware that the 6800K is as much slower than a 6700K as it is faster than my 2500K from 5 years ago for it's single threaded performance. Not a problem going forwards, but it will impact games like Sins, which is where a few of us are posting from. Edit: I would wait for the AMD release even if you wouldn't buy an AMD if they were twice as fast. Regardless of whe
IMO if you want to keep the computer for say next 5 years, as opposed to just 2 and then upgrade again, get x99 and sixcore CPU instead of 6700k/7700k... even if for gaming. Latest AAA games like obviously Ashes, but BF1 and few others too, actually gain from having more cores, i mean more than 4, already. And its probably trend for the future. For that budget (1200 to 1600), i would get in your place cheap X99 mobo (personally have GB x99p SLI, which has M2 slot), i7 6800k (cause its
Isnt the 10core CPU like 1800 USD/EUROs? Not sure about price of that Xeon, but i think i7 6950x is, from what i could remember... and you would want to spend that much money just cause of Ashes? In situation, when already 4,5GHz 5820k gotta run the game flawlessly?

Economies, diplomacy, and yes, espionage have had a great deal of say in the fate of nations. And the only way those elements are relevant is if you have an AI behind them. Otherwise, as I used to argue with Space Empires IV fans, they're just
More importantly, will affect gameplay, or its just there for looks? On topic of surface textures, i reserve my judgement for later, when i get a chance to play the game myself, as its not the same as judging from screenshots.
