If you're playing against a team of decent allied players, they shouldn't lose outside of germany/japan being very lucky.

A common house rule is that Russia can't attack. I remember screwing with a Russian player because I didn't fully commit my forces on turn 1, and went more for the Caucaus than the Moscow. He didn't know what to do because he played the game so much and had never really seen that happen. I also bitch slapped Africa in the first couple of fights as well. It didn't hurt that my Japanese ally developed heavy bombers on like turn 3. He also helped out in the Russian front a bit more, weakening dem dere commies.

I don't know. If you see people being turned into Splicers, it could be a bit creepy.

Masturbation is still free.. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> It's an opportunity cost.

Have the AI continue to work in the background, planning its moves. Since your moves aren't done though, it obviously can't be in a final state. So examine what potential moves the player can do, and determine what the best course of action would be. It's kind of like Chess, except that the AI plans its moves while you're still doing your turn, so that there is less waiting around when it's actually the AI's turn.

So you knew Ferret? I'd be very surprised if your Core Duo didn't work. Clock speeds are no longer all that good for determining the processing power of a CPU any more, unless you're looking at identical architectures.

Why don't you just reconfirm with your inside connection?

Aim for the groin and you hit the groin. Not particularly hard. And for the "eyes" and "brain". If you shoot someone in the head, both his eyes and his brains are going to come flying out, no matter what. To be able to shoot someone in the eyes to blind him is so incredibly stupid it hurts. I don't know how many times I've tried to explain to you: CRPG does not automatically mean isometric view. A CRPG is still a CRPG in first person view. It's still a CRPG even if the combat lends elements from the FPS genre. It's just more interactive. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Haha, the eye shots were goofy.

I'd recommend not going out and upgrading your computer for a game until that game is released, to prevent stuff like this from happening.

I know what Scientology is.

Whatever you do, just make sure it is consistent!

As long as it doesn't break immersion by allowing your hollow point bullets completely bypass that power armor and rip the guy to shreds underneath.

.... Scientology!!??!

I have never heard of those terms being used to describe energy?

I later realized exactly what your intent was, especially after I read the title of the poll. Regardless, I don't think you'll get enough people voting to actually conclude who's the most popular on this forum.

Market forces should take over soon enough. If they don't sell at that price, then the price will go down.

While the player is deciding what to do on their turn though, I'd imagine it'd be a relatively "low" point for CPU usage.

If we did, it's because of the evil climate change Anything different is bad. And it's all humanity's fault.

Conspiracy!!!

I believe it is arrogant to assume that you can do whatever you want without consequence. It's all swings and roundabouts isn't it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't assume that I can do whatever I want without consequence. I'm not going to assume that our influence on the world is so unbelievably extreme compared to the 4.5 billion history of the planet.

I live in Canada. You Denver folk can cry me a river.

A smart implementation is to have it do a lot of prediction based upon your potential moves so that the heuristics when it comes down to their actual turn speed things up considerably. Though it's more effort for a programmer.

Meh, I just did his quest. The only neat part about it was challenging him as Grand Champion. Though he threw the fight a bit too obviously.

Wow. I knew Haysbert did the second one. Given the voice of the third one, I figured it was still him. The two sound quite similar. My statement is still correct however

Stupid Stortini!!! At least he seems to have understood what he did wrong.
