Yeah but that was part of the fun! Watching you two nit pick every little thing in each others posts.

I probably shouldn't comment on them having not run into them yet, but... Panzerkleins apparently ruined the later stages of the game for a lot of people as they basically turned your soldiers into walking tanks.

Hey, that thread was fun! I enjoyed reading that one.

You're welcome. <_<

:D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Bless you for finding that. :D <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Maybe he was drunk when he posted that. " Or maybe it wasn't posted by him and it's a fake quote!

The demo wasn't really all that exciting. Just a tutorial.

The 3D Engine does a very good job in my opinion although for some reason I just can't get used to the up and down movement of the camera. I keep moving the mouse the wrong way and if I reverse it then it is reversed in my mind at the same time so I get no where. I haven't had any problems whatsoever on my ATI card so that should tell you something. " My copy came pre-patched to version 1.2 so that might explain a few things. Actually now that I think about it there was one glitch where I practically stood on top of a guy and still couldn't see him. I assumed he was dead as I put a full round of Thompson ammo right through the red shadow. Turns out he didn't die as he pumped my guy so full of lead on the next turn that I was surprised the bullets didn't start ricocheting off him near the end as they hit bullets that were already fired. Destructable terrain is your friend! If you hear someone on the other side of a wall or above/below you, you don't need to expose yourself to an interrupt and possible full burst to the face() since you can just fire right through floors/walls depending on what weapon you are using. Entrance to a building to well guarded? Blow a hole in the side wall and storm in there! When blowing holes in walls though just remember to leave enough that the building doesn't collapse. Unless of course you are on the outside and the enemy is on the inside. " I was playing a mission where I had to rescue a couple allied soldiers that were pinned down outside a building by a bunch of Germans that were using the building for cover and shooting out the windows. Ended up with a group of massed german troops in one corner of the second floor firing out a single window. The Allied troop that was closest pulled out a bazooka and blew away the wall on the first floor which collapsed the whole corner of the building from the first floor up to the third and sent the germans crashing to their deaths. That was pretty neat. :cool:

OMG! Meta double posted!

I piked it up earlier this week. Great game. Anything in particular about it that you want described?

All of the music comes in MP3 format. :cool:

Could be. I think most of the lag I get is due to other components as it increases exponentially as the map size increases.

Do you have anything running in the background? Antivirus or the like? Might explain general lagginess. Strange that your computer is overall better than mine but you are getting worse performance. How bad is the lag?

It's honestly not that bad. There is like half a second between pressing the button and the unit moving. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...more like a sec and it is annying as hell! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You seem to be getting more lag that I am, but if it really is that much... I noticed that movement was sluggish although it didn't bother me enough to get me to stop. The game is still very playable although I'm a little more forgiving with Turn based games that have lag issues as it doesn't matter as much. Are you getting lag at any other times or is it just the unit acknowledgement time?

It's honestly not that bad. There is like half a second between pressing the button and the unit moving.

I've noticed that too. Unit acknowledgement does seem a little slow although it hasn't bothered me enough to keep me from playing. I played the American Revolution scenario last night until 6am. :">

Damn.

It doesn't mean much, it's basically so that each unit looks like there is more than one person. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You can also turn that option off and it gives you the 1 man unit. It saves a bit in performance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Didn't know that. I haven't gone through any of the options yet, but I'll go picking through them later.

Ditto. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I did!

Is that the lords prayer is Swahili ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The soundtrack says the song is called Baba Yet. Dunno what it is, but it's really well done.

That would be a lot better than shootouts although it would make it tough for any team that has back to back games if they end up playing multiple overtime periods in the first game. Not that we are likely to get many 3 or 4 extra overtime periods considering all the scoring.

It doesn't mean much, it's basically so that each unit looks like there is more than one person. The Civilopedia actually does have everything organized alphabetically. If you click on on of the icons it will bring up the description for that item and a menu bar on the side with everything in that catagory listed in alphabetical order. Seemed pretty good to me although there was something about the way it looked that just didn't seem right. I really like the music! Some of it is really good. I especially like the music from the main menu. In other news, I'm the only one in town that has Civ 4. I went in to pick it up and was given the special edition. When I reserved my copy there were two items in the computer for the same price so the person there reserved one, but put the money down on the other. That way I was guarenteed one or the other depending on what they got. They apparently had a bunch of people calling the store asking if it was in yet but since I was the only one that had pre-ordered they didn't have it for anyone else.

Well for starters I only took Vienna because it looke like Reveilled might be eliminated and so I was going to take something before everything was taken by Italy, Russia and Turkey. And actually I think I had sent you a few PM's not e-mails. "

Nashville's win streak ended tonight. They lost to the Blue Jackets 3-2.
