>you may increase the value of loyality and courage in the raceconfig ;o) maybe some others too, they build up the characteristics of your species ;o) That has nothing to do with what he said. Loyalty is influence flipping, courage is an advantage when fighting outnumbered. Fairly sure neither have anything to do with surrendering. I

Be constructive, and don't use personal attacks. Something which *you've* just ignored by calling Birney a "moron" and an "idiot". Yeeesh Yes, I know I did. Do you have a problem? My only gripe about GalCiv2 is tha

You, on the other hand, sound like a jerk, and you haven't added anything to the thread. Respond constructively next time Don't police threads, unless you want a proverbial hole torn into you. They didn't bother f

Your statement about this being a release candidate is a little hollow. Release candidate comes after beta testing is complete. How many games wait til they're 95% complete before they go to beta? It's common that they'll be shipped before the final bugs and balance gets ironed it. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95%" align=center bgColor=#F

Do you write gaming software? Do you have any idea how a beta for a game works? I'm guessing no. Like I said, the beta testers for gc2 said it was ready about a month before Stardock released it. Oh look, it had the overheating crash problem. Because the small group (quite a bit more than 5 or 6 though) hadn't found every bug. Don't try and say "you know software" when you blatantly don't. And if you do, remind me never, ever to buy anything from you.

Except you dont judge success on how much money you didn't make. The fantasy game wasn't even being made, and society has been on development hiatus, which nullifies those points. Also, gc2 was, if I remember, deliberately delayed to work out bugs. Hence the rack of awards in 1st week. DA has also been delayed. And I personally expect a repeat perfomance.

Remind me to kill you with sporks, should I ever get the oppurtunity. I borrowed the computer Bill Gates taxes are worked on. It now keeps track of people I need to kill. With sporks. Playing God with genetics = win. Also, dinosaurs = win. Dinosaurs. With sporks.

It's just like when John Hammond mixed frog DNA with the dinosaur DNA. He got baby dinosaurs, but it had the unexpected result of allowing them to change gender. You can't imagine all the possible things that can go wrong in such a complex system. You have no idea how badly I want to do this.

Yeah, but those ignorant guys probably represent %95 or more of the people who play Galciv. I was ignorant of how much effort would be needed for hotseat until I read this thread. There's a difference between thinking "It wouldn't take THAT long, would it?" (blissful naivette), "It would be done quick enough to throw in easily" (mild ignorance) a

Rolling eyes! It's pretty easy to see how people just assume that hotseat would be a simple one hour operation though Yes it is, they're ignorant. Also, I'm fairly sure I recall Cari or someone saying it'd never be hotseat.

Does our alien guest enjoy the company of supermodels? Could it be bono? Ten points to whoever gets that. A select few you can trust and anyone who reads the Galciv2 forums presumably? We're just that awesome.

Goddamnit, edit is still broken. Point 2: hotseat require one little check-box (And little more coding behind that maybe, but how hard can it be?) You're a moron if you believe that. It's extremely hard. Shut up about things like this until you get an inkling of what it's like to code hot-seat, please.

Argh, the forum edit code appears borked. So I'll just chuck this on the end.

That hurt. That actually physically hurt to read. To the OP: I demand my ten minutes back. Yes, ten minutes it took me to manage to read that grotesque monstrosity. At the end of it all I surmised is that you need to keep taking your medication.
