But would everyone else drop it like you say you would have?

I think it was probably locked more because of where it might lead than where it had already been..

Everyone always knocks the modern ages. I like the modern ages. Generally by the time I get to it there are two big opponents left which leaves me with usually another entire continent to crush. In fact I enjoy the modern age more than the ages before it. "

What are your computer's specs? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I have a 2 gig intel processor, 512 of RAM, and a 64 MB GeForce 3. It's above the min specs for Civ4, but the gfx card only barely so. I figure I can add two years or so to its useful life (the machine is as originally purchased in 2001) by doubling the RAM and geting a new vid card. I'll do it one of these days, but I'm lazy and not really interested any of the more demanding games currently on the market. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ouch, your going to be really slow. Im running a 3.1 gig, 512 ram, 256 meg vid card and still once you hit mod era it slows down brutally! Cant imagine trying to play with lower stats then that! Course im also running ME and Im SURE thats causeing some of my problems! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm only running a 1.7GHz P4 with 768MB of crappy generic ram and a 9600 Pro. Before the patch I would get some serious slowdown however it was still playable...

It's only 45.5MB. "

Link to download Link to fix list It's supposed to dramatically increase performance in the late game from what I've heard. Also adds a new "Marathon" game mode that's longer than Epic.

I clicked the view last post button and ended somewhere around "Now that is a good idea. If the male fails to please a woman, she can kill him if she pleases." and was wondering just what thread I clicked on. Now I have to go back and read this from the beginning so that it makes sense.

Damn this "real life" you speak of!

Oh I know that. I screwed up one move and killed both Reveilled and an almost guarenteed first place. Can you guess where I screwed up? Ooh! Pinball! Alright! I know, everytime I changed my plans in order to account for moves that you would probably make, you ended up not moving at all and thus screwing me over completely. I had decided to just ignore your units but that was about the time that meta disappeared. <_<

Way to go shadow! You killed him! <_<

I guess this game is gone. And I was winning too...

Hmm. Let me think about this, do I want to be able to control my party members so that I can personally co-ordinate their moves so that they work together, or do I want the computer to handle my henchmen and let them do whatever the hell they want like oh I don't know, having a cleric cast harm on undead, or maybe having a mage run into melee instead of standing back and using his spells/ranged weapons.

Calgary went up 5-4 and now Edmonton just tied it up. That's the fourth powerplay for them! Awesome game here!

Because I can't legally drink yet?

Well, I've done something stupid yet again in a game so in an effort to make myself feel better about the whole thing I'll share it with all of you in the hopes that you'll share your own tales of boundless stupidity in the realms of video games. The Heroic Tale of Barik the Ranger! Anyway, my own tale begins with our hero Barik, who has been tracking down a large group of kobolds through the mountains of chapter one of Neverwinter Nights: Shadows of Undrentide, heedless of the fact that he is all alone as a 3rd level ranger that is blindly running after a tribe of at the very least 60 kobolds. Now Barik is not usually so stupid as to do this alone, however he felt the need to let his companion rest as said companion nearly died during an adventure into an elven crypt in an attempt to retrieve an artifact from a splinter group of kobolds who had retreated inside when they were cut off from the rest of the tribe by a number of gnolls. So, back to the story. Barik enters the cave into which he has the cowardly little monsters "trapped" and not 20 feet from the entrances he runs straight into a trap that he could have sworn wasn't there. After recovering from the effects of this first trap he stumbles forward into yet another trap. Now this new trap just so happens to be within sight of a group of kobolds who were waiting for the foolish human to run right through the traps. Thankfully Barik makes it out of this situation with barely a scratch as he manages to free himself from the trap before the monsters get off more than a single swing and quickly dispatches them. Trudging through the dark caves he runs down a long corridor and slaughters another group of kobolds, upon turning the corner and spotting another long hall there appears to be something at the end of it, but Barik pays little heed to this as it is not a monster as indicated by the bluish glow around it when the creator presses the TAB key. Running down the hall, he is pierced by two arrows which come from the quite unfriendly ballista that sat at the end of the hallway. Oops. Rounding another corner, he spots something all adventurers love to see. A huge treasure chest that seems to glow with the might of all the magical artifacts that must be stored within! Paying no mind to the fact that the chest is in a room with 4 entrances, with each one having a portcullis set above the doorway he runs right in and opens the chest. Strangely all there is inside is a note. Maybe it will tell him where the treasure is being kept! "Ha ha! We got you suckers!" The gates slam down and approximately 30 kobolds appear and spread out around the four doors. Pressing himself a tight as he can against a wall in one corner of the room, Barik defends himself as well as he can with his longbow and manages to take down quite a number of kobolds. After downing a healing potion or two, the kobolds are down to nearly one third the original number, but wait! What's that? One of them can cast spells?! Running to another corner of the room, out of sight of the spellcaster, he is hit in the head by a sling stone from one of the kobolds still manning the gates. Barik is starting to really hate stones and kobolds but dislikes kobolds that throw stones even more. As his health get's low he reaches down to grab another potion to find himself all out of cure light healing potions and healing kits. "Crap!", he thinks to himself as he puts an arrow through another kobold. There are only three of them left, but he is realling hurting so he attempts to use his magic ring to teleport himself back to safety. "This item can not be used while you are in combat." The words float above his head, taunting him as he nears death. He double checks his equipment for a last cure light wounds potion, but finds none. As he send another arrow into one of the two remaining kobolds that he can see, with the spell slinger still hiding out of sight, he is again hit in the head with a sling stone and this time it manages to take him down. That last kobold must think he got pretty lucky. He must have been promoted big time that day... As his spirit drifts away and his body slumps to the ground and little green bottle rolls out of his pack. A cure medium wounds potion. "AH F@#$!!!!" *exit to windows* Now that you have heard the tale of Barik the ranger, you must share your own stories. What traps have you set off? What ambushes have you blindly walked into? What plot essential characters have you sacrificed not realizing that one of the mission objectives was their survival? They need not be stories from RPG's, any type of game will work.

I'm still waiting for the paperback version. I can't have part of a series be in hardcover and part paperback!

I'll second that vote for the revolution.

I hate you...

Mwahahahaha!!! Bow down before me mortals!

I hate Leafs territory.

Tried that just now. Found another game that I recall playing, but it wasn't the one I was looking for. All of the ones that gamefaqs had listed were newer 3D games. The one I'm looking for is a 2D game. I would remember it if I saw it, but so far nothing looks right. If all else fails I should be able to find it this weekend as I'll be visiting my uncle who actually owns the game.

Recently I've become obsessed with remembering odd things. The latest is a computer game that I remember playing but can't for the life of me recall the name of it. It was a turn based strategy game that was played on a hex map. It had spaceships. I only remember one level and that was this big circular map that had a planet in the upper left quarter. Each side started out with two ships. One side had two white ships that could each launch a number of smaller fighters that were much faster but easily destroyed. The main ships were moderately armed/armoured. The other side had two burgundy/green ships that were slower, but much more heavily armed and armoured.. You could shoot each other just in general or you could target specific systems on the enemy ship, like the engines or the weapons. As you took more damage you would start to lose more and more systems. Weapons would start to go offline and your engines would lose power and you slow down. Each ship had shields and armour points for front sides and rear. If you were losing you could retreat to the edge of the map and once you exited the encounter are you could escape with FTL drive. I think it may have been a star trek game, but I don't know for sure...
