I second the idea of waiting for the demo if you're a complete RTS novice. One thing you might try while you're waiting around for the Sins demo is to try another well-known RTS that has a demo, just to see if it's the type of game-play that you're interested in. Age of Empires might be a good choice, you can get a demo for their latest version here: http://www.ageofempires3.com/asiandynasties/downloads.html
Jeeze guys, take the weekend off! The world will not collapse if you do this during the week :)
I see. So if you decide that a company is "evil" it's okay to steal from them. Sheesh. There's no end to this crap.
Judging by everyone's opening moves, I guess no one has the fear of icebergs achievement :)
Aw, don't kill the debate now, mtn_man! We haven't heard from him how youth culture is reinventing car theft!
[quote] Wow, you convinced me. Denying people's arguments but not offering up any counter-explanations is the best way to debate effectively. [/quote] In order to have a debate, you have to have two positions. My position was that there was no human rights argument to be made in favor of game piracy. Taltamir spent four paragraphs rambling on about how human rights applied to piracy of knowledge and technology specifically excluding entertainment. If he's not going t
Nope. Doesn't work. That argument fails completely with regards to game software, music and entertainment. There is no human rights issue to be made there. Which is what I said in the first place. But thanks for typing up a long post and missing the point.
If that's the best the two of you can do, the only advice I can give you is to work harder and smoke less. Or at least stop inhaling.
In other words, you can't.
Usually it goes like this: Buy 100 crystal Build cap ship factory - queue carrier Build crystal mine Build level 4 planet infrastructure Queue 2 scouts, set to auto-explore Build metal mines Build colonizer Colonize the asteroid by then, I usually know what to do next
Why would I waste my time? If you can summarize, in a hundred words or less, why human rights pertain to piracy of game software, I'll read the full article.
[quote] Lots of valid reasons for this that I won't get into simply because of selective reader perception which is probably impossible to counter. I'm wise enough in the ways of the tubes to understand the redundancy of arguing this concept. I will instead, recommend reading the following, and advise you to form an opinion from there: On global economies: 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_trade 2. International studies : an i
Bah, he rated both Crysis and World in Conflict as 9.5's. I say we egg his car :)
[quote] Yeah, I know it’s about fleet combat. I’m talking really late game when the big fleet combats have happened and now you have three huge fleets and the AI has small ones going into your planets bombing. This is the time to just focus on planet bombing “unless like I mentioned” the small AI fleet has a colonizing ship fleeing into your space. My point is, that when player single player there is definitely a point where it is blatantly obvious you won, but here is stil
I'm agree :)
[quote] Interestingly enough, things are rarely black and white in our world today. Software piracy is just one of those grey areas.. [/quote] Software piracy, like anything else, is only a grey area for those who lack sufficient moral awareness to see that it's wrong.
[quote] However, there is absolutely no reason to "report" your friend, since as i said, he probably just downloaded it off the internet and burned it, and didnt actually do the "pirating" on his own. He's just a downloader like 99% of everyone else. [/quote] *snort* "Just a downloader"? It's still piracy, whether you cracked the copy protection or not.
Hmm, EVE online... Wasn't that the one where the game staff were busted for cheating in their own game? Somehow I don't think Stardock or Ironclad staff will be caught in a similar position.
If you check the planet data card, you can see the resource rates for the asteroids go up and down as you switch the trade ports in/out of resource mode. Dunno how/if the autocast works though.
Bad title - the title of your post should read "Dark Armada shouldn't allow you to exceed fleet cap."
The record button allows you to save a replay - it's not a toggle, when you save via the Record button, it creates a replay file at that moment in time (stretching back to when you started the session, so if you start a previously saved game, anything before that point is lost.)
For capital ships it's based on level, so directly related to experience. You don't spend ability points on it though, it's seperate and automatic. Only the advent can research for *larger* strike groups, but even they can't get *more* strike groups per unit through research.
[quote] Some stupid anecdote about the most overrated game of all time For godsakes there are people screaming their lungs out on this forum about "Fix x" or "Fix y" and you guys are fixated on voice acting . [/quote] Maybe they don't believe X or Y is broken.
[quote] mtn_man from HGL?? That's me. [/quote] LOL, lots of HGL refugees here.
