Island Dog: Any reason this Movies & TV & Books sub forum doesn't show up on the GalCiv3 forums page? There is a concurrent thread started there via the Life Universe and Everything sub-forum. Both sub-forums (fora?, forii?) show up when viewing via the elemental forums.

First episode was pretty good. Not good enough to pay for a service for one show only. But then, no show could be good enough for me to do that. Perhaps I'll get the service at the end of the season and binge it over a weekend. Good thing with that is by then there will be a plethora of reviews to see if it is worth it. Ideally, their service fails and they put it on OTA broadcasting. <img src="https://web.stardock.net/images/smiles/themes/digicons/Smile.p

I won't even touch RTS. Haven't in years. I tried it more than a couple times, and like the early portion, but overall it's just not for me. Not gonna lie, Total War: Warhammer 1 & 2 are giving me straying thoughts though. Not because of the battles, although I do like watching them on Let's Plays, but more for the fantastic lore. I may even end up buying those way down the line when they are on deep sale and put the battle on auto-resolve. Th

Reply to The Orville in Life, the Universe and Everything GalCiv3 Forums

Like the other shows on CBS and Fox on Sunday nights during the NFL season, they end up getting pushed back by 10 - 45 minutes almost every week. I used to pad my Tivo Season Passes to account for it. But then you have to also record any shows you don't want to cover the overlap. Made it all to messy, now I just don't watch Fox or CBS shows scheduled on Sunday nights. I say fuck em if they can't be bothered to either: a: properly schedule the time it takes for an NFL game thes

Reply to A sneak preview of Galactic Civilizations III v2.5 Part 1 in GalCiv III Dev Journals Elemental Forums

[quote]We live in magical times, my friends. I've talked about the challenge of building a 4th generation game engine over at IGN. Stardock's first attempt at building a 3rd generation engine failed pretty spectacularly (Elemental). Galactic Civilizations II was arguably a 2nd generation (upgraded) engine. Its code base could be traced back to 1997. So by the time it was released, it was almost 10 years old. [/quote] I wouldn't say "pretty spectacularly" at least

Just set that up myself yesterday. There is a setting as to whether you are using side by side monitors or one for both. Sounds like you may have this set wrong. If you don't figure this out tonight, I'll check tomorrow and post that setting. Hopefully that is your problem.

Swamp Champion can't equip swamp axe? in Sorcerer King Support SorcererKing Forums

Just wondering if this Is this intended or not, seems it should be something that champ can equip. Level is good, shield slot is empty, looks like champ just can't equip that type. It would be really nice if either in the champ details or by hovering over the weapon slot, the game would tell you what can be equipped. And the ra
