Erm..please, post your regular startup routine. If anything can help you that will - most of us can easily find what might be a flaw in that. I'm sure you're doing something that unintentionally handicaps you.
^Haha! I may just die from laughing at that Ryat! Either way, I think their is something seriously wrong with the OP's economic strategy considering the trouble he's having knocking out other people's starbases. Generally, if he can do something, you can stop it (if you play your cards right) unless your at the point where he has so many planets more than you'll end up steamrolled anyway. But to be honest, most of your comments sound like someone has j
Actually, Empire Earth did use 3D graphics for units, buildings etc. To make a point though, Intel graphics chipsets and games aren't compatible purely because, if someone wants to buy and play games, they actually have something decent - i.e. an GeForce or ATi chipset - designed for the purpose. An Intel chipset is designed for laptops usually used for word processing and company work (where you ain't going to be playing games) and is merely filling the req
Right - Age of Empires III is an RTS I can reccomend, its all very well made. The home-city mechanic can be a pain at times, but that's bareable. Don't bother with the Warchiefs expansion, go straight for the Asian Dynasties, that's the good expansion. Its also the only RTS game that I know which recognises the role trains had in the industrial revolution. Everyone other RTS avoids them like the plague...why? [rant] Although...Command and
[quote]Kinda liike Carpocalypse in the UK; they had to change the civilians into zombies and change the blood into some purple goo to make the game Legal in the UK.[/quote]Actually, that was Germany. So I guess that's a consolidation to some Australians - at least its not Germany. They're currently discussing a law to ban all violent videogames - honestly, the nerve!
Ah okay. But the Advent got 3? They already have the most SC per squadron, so isn't that overkill?
Ahaha! Perhaps I got a little carried away back there - when I do things, I tend to do them in big lumps, which is clearly not the way to go with Sins. [quote]1. A max of 12 strikecraft, 2 at lvl. 1, 3 at lvl. 2, 4 at lvl. 3, 5 at lvl. 4, 6 at lvl. 5, 7 at lvl. 6, 8 at lvl. 7, 9 at lvl. 8 and 11 at lvl. 9 with 12 at lvl. 10[/quote]I think that sounds fair enough. That means the cap carrier, when fully experienced, is more cost effective than a group of light carriers, but
I love the idea that a game warrants refusal of classification when they are: "1. Coputer games that: (d) are unsuitable for a minor to see or play" Which is a round-about way of saying "Only minors play videogames". I wish the stupid politicians would realise that gaming started in the 1980s and few people gave it up when they turned 18. Those people are in their late twenties now, at the very least, so unless they've found some magi
I'll tell you, the carrier caps are by far the most disappointing captial ships of the lot - the Sova in particular. I'm mean, six squads when these things are called carrier caps? Doesn't that mean there speciality is supposed to be carrying SC, not being expensive connon fodder with a few fighters to boot? Really, these things should be feared bringers of death, at least to lrms and such, and specialise in supporting the fleet by car
[quote]On the other hand, nearly all of these anomalies are very short lived and do not reproduce much (if at all).[/quote]Yes, usually some scientifically ignorant carnivore has the things for lunch. There are probably thousands of mutations of current species occuring every day, its just they die/get killed before we ever see them - natural selection at work. When species do have an advantageous mutation, like this snake (I mean, it climbed a wall! How many snakes do you k
^Nope. The city is somewhere east of Tehran, west of Tokyo, and in the northern hemisphere. Effectively, mainland Asia. And Zyxpsilon, can I have my Karma?
Alternatively, your antivirus program may be blocking Sins from connecting to the net. I had a similar issue where I was disconnected every time I tried to log in, and it turned out Trend-Micro was blocking Sins because it viewed it as a threat...or something. Next time you try to connect, Alt-Tab and see if any messages from your antivirus software have popped up - they have a bad habit of being subtle.
[quote]The force of the vacuum on a boxy structure creates stress concentraiton points.[/quote]Yeah, that's a valid point. However we don't know exactly how much of the TEC's ships' hulls are permanently evacuated for stuff that doesn't mind a freezing cold vaccum - i.e. provisions, solid cargo etc. - and that the bridge and other vital areas are pressurised "eggs" within this evacuated box and are connected by a series of pressurised tubes. With ships of these size, you'd want to
Okay. Let's see how you lot do outside America. I travelled to the country in which this city is located this year -its a nice place once you get over the choking fumes and terrible drivers. Its one of the most famous nations in America's history (after the Great Britain, of course). Identify the nation, the city (current name) and where each of the arrows is pointing: Yellow Arrow: This famous hotel still bears the origional name of the
Oh, now that's an easy one! That's Gibraltar Airport, and Winston Churchill Avenue crosses the tarmac! Don't know which gate the plane is parked at exactly (Flight Sim X only recognises "Fuel Box 1" whatever that is) but its probably an Airbus A319 of Air Malta.
