Just boost that athletic trait/skill/thingy

Well, unlike MoO2, hopefully it won't have such a signifigant "end game" problem like alot of strategy games. Where you know you've won, it just takes 5 more hours of actual playing to get there. That kills me.

So you can use them as a transport device ? But you can't fight on horseback ? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tis my understanding, but apparently it sucks The horse "turns like a tank" and it is where alot of the "magically appearing walls" and framerate issues pop-up. Apparently.

WTF? I have an old 500mhz computer, can they make it play Oblivion?

And now this message from our commentators: Horsies! With shadows!? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yep, Horsies. 100% sure. Not sure if they have shadows, but maybe you can name one Shadow if not

The company is patch happy, report it. BTW, I love MoO2, but it's been over-rated due to all the fantastic failures of copycats.

Um, for the record, I'm pretty certain that there ARE HORSES. You just can't fight on them. And my computer would cough up blood if I tried to run this game. But my birthday is in April.....

::::::::::Link::::::::: Sounds, well, amazing. Not a fan of multiplayer (minus Starcraft and GoldenEye) anyways

delayed congrats, but I just got here

God damn it, forgot again

Lesson one: Unta Gunta Solo, Jabba nobot...damn it, this ****s hard

No ma'am Mega Man X Collection Wow, the PS ones suck

What do I have to do?

Alternatively: "If you want to be jack-asses and judge every American on what half voted against, then try not to beg so damn much when we stop coming to your countries"

They have homes for people like you

GDP isn't how many tourist there are, it's how much they spend combined. If we spend more than the average tourist, then our share of the 8.5% is higher than our head count percentage. So, if you assume all the tourist are the same, we get .425%, but apparently we "far out strip" other tourist in money spent per person. Hence you expect that % to be higher. Hence I prolly wasn't too far off to say "roughly 1%"

Completely correct, clearly the wrong choice of words on my part, now on to the rest: Easy, we spend alot "In France last year, the Americans spent more than British and Irish visitors combined. In Britain, the average American spends $1,000 a trip, far outstripping European visitors." "The French hotel group Accor reported a 7.8 percent slump in first-half revenues; Italy's tourist authority reported multimillion losses for hotels in the first half of this year" LINK <- Read this one We spend ALOT more and stay alot longer. Most of those 75 million are 1-2 day tourist from other Euro countries. EDIT: 1.I said 8.5%, btw 2. I was wrong, we're not the most numerous in terms of people (we are to Paris, hence the mix up), just represent the biggest chunk of cash in tourism 3. I have to leave for the day soon, so speak now, or limit the back mouthing till I get back!

We like to see where most of our oil is born I would have guessed the U.K. I would have been wrong.

My guess, when NWN2 is done, some of the team works on a expansion. Others go on to the third game, not PNJ, which will be K3.

Not an economics major, are ya? If you pull roughly 1% GDP out of a country that grows about 1.5% a year, what do you think happens? In 2003, when tourism was lowest...the French Economic growth slumped. In 04, when tourism make double digit recovers in France, the ecomony went up. Not to say tourism is the only cause, but you can't smile off billions of dollars being lost that was expected to come in: EDIT: tho, their in a bit of a funk right now anyways Link ^ The US is the largest group to France link. EDIT: best part "The French capital has held events tied to the Fourth of July holiday the last two years trying to attract American tourists." ^still think they don't need the money?

Pre-03, it drops farther than 20%

Depends on how you define "dependent". If Us tourism to France stopped, they instantly go into a depression. The country wouldn't be utterly destroyed. Is that dependent? From...other Americans. The point is rather simple. Re-read 2 pages.

Damn you canadians and your per capita! I bet, without question, Canada is by far our #1 foreign tourism "partner". Not where I got the info from, a blog where I first saw it, but I double checked it was blogs arn't always reliable: Link, still getting more

About Woody Allen and the discounts. I can give supporting links on this, still searching history.
