Well....maybe you're army sizes are limited as well? I always thought it was interesting when a single province country had a stack of 50000 troops. I won't mind seeing that gone.

10 out of 10 Fresca drinkers prefer the taste of Fresca! I love their ad campaigns.

It's probably because if you kill your BIOS, your computer typically doesn't start. The BIOS (Basic Input/Output System) is a very simple system that essentially takes care of all the details for how your computer loads. It's the first thing accessed when you turn on your computer. Hmmm, I couldn't tell if your "For some reason" was sarcastic or not. Oh well, I've typed this much...

I have never really played it. It's apparently quite the AI challenge, given it has an exceptionally large branching factor. I remember reading in my AI textbook that people don't play checkers against an AI, because it's too good, and people don't play Go against an AI, because it's too stupid.

Hey, my team is getting **** on too. We can wallow together.

All I remember thinking was something along the lines of "Wow....that sucks!"

The Camarilla ending was a very, very pleasant surprise. I hate how all endings seemingly must be happy, happy endings. The Kuei-Jin ending was also disturbing. Given the cirumstances, it's probably the crappiest one for the PC.

Sounds like this time it is for real.

Things are going well, relatively speaking. Once Germany defeated Poland, it got trickier as we had to deal with signficiantly stronger armies.

I got mine from the forums in Total War Center http://www.twcenter.net

It sounds like they are trying to limit army sizes.

I thought Christian Bale was an excellent Batman.

I'm also liking the fact that border disputes can cause your country to acquire more core provinces!

Really? Hahaha.

I have heard that the crossfire implementation of the X1900s is really, really fast as well.

Damn, that looks really, really good ... and makes me want to buy it just to brush up on my medi

My X1900 XTX doesn't really seem louder than my 9800 Pro. And I sit right beside it with the case wide open.

Hahahaha, I never thought anyone would quite benefit from that link :D

Here is their official forum.

I don't think it'd be integrated into the motherboard, but rather the CPU chip itself. If motherboards still come with expansion slots, it'd be less restrictive. As for A*, it's pretty much the pathfinding algorithm. The funny thing is that they say they don't use heuristics, which means they aren't using A* (since A* is a heuristic).

It'd have to be coming in expecting to shoot, and hope it's facing the right way. In any case, I may have to replay through KOTOR 1 again, because from what I understand it was pretty much the entire Republic Navy, not just "a few Republic Ships."

There's a link in the sticky I believe, and it gives a rough estimate to their progress.

Some "<random name> Invasion" expansion no doubt.

Such a solution might be useful in small devices (palmtops and the like), possibly even in networked workstations for uniformity, but hardly attractive for high-end gaming and graphics. One of the articles I read about the merger did acknowledge that. But as far as physics, etc. cards go, these additional 'helper' cards do seem to be a candidate for all-in-one integration on the graphics card itself. Until that happens, the technology won't become mainstream, because it's not enough of an advance to justify the cost or space requirement. (I think it's Nvidia's turn to roll.) <{POST_SNAPBACK}> When I say "high end integrated solution," I'm talking about ATi putting their high end graphics accelerators right on chip. Whether or not that's good enough for us is one thing, but it is significantly better than the integrated solution that Intel is using now. Furthermore, if higher quality integrated graphics chips become more popular, the "lowest common denominator" in games gets raised.

When I saw that, I was saddened. I'm a Left-Wing Radical, and no one tries influencing me Though my Dictatorship lets me bring my more powerful allies into wars. Portugal and Ireland have both been "dealt" with :D
