No, that would mean we would cease to exist. You wouldn't do that, would you? :ph34r: Would you? :ph34r: :ph34r: Nooooooooo! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Mwahahahaha! I hold your future in my hand! *drops it* Oops...

Every night when the clock strikes midnight, one of you ceases to exist. :ph34r: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Is that because one of us has forgotten about this forum? "

Yay! I'm special!

That's a little disturbing.

So what happens to those of us with a count lower than 1? "

I know where they got the sound effect for that call. It was the plumbing in the mens washroom at the cinema I went to. It was kind of wierd because just as I went in someone was coming out and the automatic flush kicked in. The plumbing made the exact same sound that the tripods did. If I didn't know that there was only one screen showing the movie at this place and it had just ended I would have sworn I was hearing the movie through the walls. :cool:

If a movie has enough mistakes that it ruins your suspension of disbelief then it's not a good movie.

Better?

I'll be rehashing other posts made on other forums because I'm too lazy to point out everything that ruined the movie for me. I understand that this portion was in the book, but that doesn't make it any less idiotic. I think thats about it for now. <_<

It was a terrible movie.

I remember being killed by giant rats in the basement.

Correuption also depends on how many cities you have. Depending on the size of the map you have a larger or smaller "Optimal City Value". If you have more cities than this then you start experiencing massive corruption in all cities except capitals and those right nearby. I once had half of a huge map conquered just so that the enemy couldn't use it. I got no use out of it at all because of the massive corruption everywhere that on the border was basically You get to keep 1 out of every 50 shields while the other 49 are lost to corruption. I gave up trying to build up these cities normally and went into massive tax hike mode so I could afford to just buy buildings in all of them as that is the only way I could get anything in them. The Optimal City Value is 64 for huge maps and for each level smaller you go down it divides by two. (Large 32, Normal 16 and so on...) I modified the rules in my game to double this limit and now corruption is a lot more manageable. Anyway on anything above Monarch I adopt a warmongering approach for the first age or two. Going out with a core of swordsmen and capturing as many enemy cities as I can. I let my research fall to zero and just trade techs with other computers. I like to serve as a buffer between civs where they don't know there is anyone on the other side of me. That way I can buy techs from the first computer to trade for other techs to the computer on the opposite side which I can turn around and trade for something from the first computer. " Mid to late game I go pacifist unless someone attacks me in which case I mobilize my huge army that was left over from my early warmongering which has been upgraded through the ages, which allows me to totally annihilate just about anyone else. "

I've had modern armour lose to Roman Legionaires.

A very clever shot into the barrel, whilst another jumps on the gun and spears the tankmen inside ... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sure... As the tank is rumbling forward at full speed and squishes the Spearmen under it's treads. *sigh* If only. "

I've got that beat. I managed to pick up a copy of Civ 3 in a dual pack with Civ 2 Test of Time for $17.99. The weird thing was that on the shelf right above it was Civ 3 itself selling for $42.99. Was perfect as I had lost my copy of Test of Time about a month before..

Since my dad has stolen my CD for Fallen Haven I now have a chance to try Alpha Centauri. Managed to find a copy of it last week but I hadn't gotten around to playing it till now.

Was it the Jekk Jekk Tar? I thought they waited for you in the other Cantina.

soap KY substitute <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I prefer this stuff. "

Why not just drink something else? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because I brew the coffee STRONG! The caffeine is what I'm after, but soda/pop/coke/whatever varieties just don't cut it anymore. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Caffeine?

Currently playing Fallen Haven. The Last Hope Campaign can be a real pain in the butt. I only have level 3 research across the board while the computer averages out at about level 6. Need another level of weapon damage so my artillery can kill his weak units with a near miss. It's difficult when the computer's weakest units have enough firepower to kill your artillery in one shot from 10 squares away. Some of the colours are off because the game only runs in 256 colours mode, but here is a screen shot of the map screen. I'm the red guys. So far I have captured 4 areas from the humans.

Canada Day of course. What else? " I really like that last picture Aimo. Great job on the colouring!

I dislike the taste of coffee but I do like the smell of it. Instead I drink Coke and it does the same thing for me. "

The only sport I watch is, or rather was, hockey. I don't really have a favourite team although I always root for my Canadian teams over any others.

If they get rid of that then the game will be a massive improvement over Civ 3. Nothing breaks immersion more than having a tank column stalled by a group of Legionaires.

I think FO predates BIS (as a division) though it still had the same people working on it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know it had the same people but I could have sworn that it said Black Isle somewhere on the disc or the case. Looking at them now it seems I was wrong.
