Well, I know I won;t be buying the game. Shooters are not in my alley that much. The entertainment art is supposed to be eye pleasing. Do we get "ugly" actress for main roles of blockbusters in Hollywood? Fashion magazines? etc? The whole outlook in Bioware game changed. Even the "male" protagonist model looks like a hipster on a lost trek to his coffee shop... (and then women cry that there are no real men out there)

I believe in general right wingers still won big time in NL. It's just the most votes went into central right wing instead of extreme right. Left wing is still out of the picture and will be gone from any governing significance. The hard part is, building a coalition for the winner.

It is fairly accessible, I've got a couple people in my group now, that never, ever touched a paper based RPG. The most experience they had in RPG was the Baldur's Gate or the Witcher The system is surprisingly fun, and to a point more challenging too as you do not get the crazy BAB progression. You might find yourself getting ACs in 18s and overall AB in 8-10s even late into the game, so even small encounters with a fairly lower CR can weather you down with some less than average rolls. Casters are also a fair bit less powerful than they used to, as DC of spells is hard to pump up and I do not recall other abilities than epic boons that could expand your spell slots beyond basic progression. There also seems to be a fair bit less amount of crazy buffs which made things like late game Wizards or CoDzillas variants so powerful. You need to trade off your stat increases for feats if you want some extras. I feel it is a bit more balanced and more accessible, thus making more people having fun with this. I admit I have a lot of fun with it.

Interesting but that's US migration profile. If anyone has numbers on say French Algerian migrants that would be more relevant. Here is one study, but you need to pay to read it http://www.oxfordhandbooks.com/view/10.1093/oxfordhb/9780199859016.001.0001/oxfordhb-9780199859016-e-013 There is one issue with this research, it does not split the "French" in terms of religion and physicality (is it caucasian origin, arabic origin, Na origin, etc.). Such data is not collected, which makes these researches very hard to do, hence they are scant.

It's free and comes with a large patch upgrading the game to the "Old World edition". No patch notes yet, but they said that after WE there will be no "big" race/faction DLC. I expect something coming with Middenheim sub-faction FLC later in March/April and basically a set up for the game 2. People are also expecting Mousillion be playable at some point, so there might be some Lord/unit pack DLC later for the game 1, but would not exepct anything beyond that for game 1. Lets hope the Old World Edition goes to town with fixing some of the game aspects and spells

Owww yeahhh... Knights are coming to help the realms of men

That's true. But te question has to be WHY such things can happen and are accepted. Which brings us pretty quickly to failed interventions. Unless you are willing to make an intervention in 3rd reich style, then no intervention ever is going to work there. They need to grow up themselves...

The "west"? Isn't the party line to trot out the ole "the majority of terrorism happens in ME countries". What did they do to deserve it? Oh yeah, slightly different interpretation of the scripture. I guess pretty much anything is a valid reason huh?Well you were bleating about Crusades and others so you weren't looking at the West? Isn't all that hard to understand things don't reach a point without a lot of hands involved. Ah well. No the West must take some responsibility for the rise of Islamic extremism, it would be disingenuous to suggest the West has played no part I would say the West is maybe 8-10 % responsible for Islamic extremism, the rest is other factors most Muslim countries are grappling with like implementing human rights and particularly recognizing the rights of minorities like women and other groups ... 8-10%? Yes I realize this may sound excessive but lets accept some historical blame ?The west has DEFINITELY messed up more than 8-10% of the Middle East. A lot more. Your view is delusional at best. I hope this is a joke I'm not getting. Define "the West", then define "messed up" and then finally define the time frame. We can start as far as persian wars, then go through Alexander the Great, to go back through disassembling greek satraps of Seleucids. Perhaps a failed Roman invasion to the middle east? Parthians raising to power? wait, later? Moors hold over Spain? Byzantine time? Crusades? or maybe Invasion of and hard grip for several centuries of Ottoman empire over Balkans and Greek peninsula? Going as far as Vienna and almost sacking it by Ottomans? or is it the Russian war with Ottomans? Is it the fatermath of the first world war? or maybe the second? Or perhaps we should not allow to create Israel in early 50s? Define it bro, because to be honest that place has been a place of voilence since forever, and Islam just made them go backwards...

Funnily, it did not work when it was Polish president being mocked like 10 years ago, or American president, or name a few more. Suddenly it works when it's Turkey involved, where majority of German muslims are coming from and where that state is blackmailing EU in terms of ME migrants crisis.

Charlie Hebdo - freedom of press, terrorist attacks, etc.? rings a bell?

Do you have any idea how disgusting that is to say? There are people suffering. We all have no idea of the agony they have to go through. All they ask for is a second shot at life, and you are denying it out of some self righteous egocentric mindset? Do they care to pay my bills? earn my food? Did they care, when i had health issues? Did they care when I was moving around the world and struggling with local legal systems to get my papers? Did anyone cared? Perhaps I should have made vids of that and post them? Stop being pretentious self righteous kid. If you want to help them, adopt one and use your own money. PS. and no, I tend to help people, but those I know I can make a difference for and I do not burden others with those that I want to help.

And? Should I now suddenly feel also bad that I could not save Ancient Egypt? It's their culture, their area and their country. If they want better life, they should work for it there.

Seeing some of the terms being butchered... Here, have a go at this place first -> http://www.investopedia.com/dictionary/

Thank you! It loos decentish on the demo vids, a lot of options so overwhelming at start but I think I can use it. Need to test a live demo though.

Would you have a link to any of those? I'd like to check them out. Alternatively, any recommendation for easy to learn image manipulation software :D
-
Thanks, I know about the wiki. I'll give it a look then. I was hoping that perhaps someone knows some "map making" tool for this type of a game. I mean, I could work on that manually, but the amount of work to create lets say "forest encounter" would cover a few hours, and I hoped to cut that down to 30min or so. I'd have to manually pre-make tons of map variances, while I hoped that there some tools, which could enable me to just start up laptop and create a needed map on the fly. (grids and all that jazz)

India, Portugal, and kinda Bangladesh are doing pretty well... India is even the sixth largest economy in the world. For all of them, you have to consider the circumstances. They don't have quite the same history as Europe or America (except of course for Portugal), and they're all quite young nations. yeah.... did you count GDP per capita for India, and been there? No thank you... Portugal - recall the term PIGS of EU? how's the employment there? how's the growth? Bangladesh - what is it good in? Please elaborate, cause doing well, can mean, "well i am not starving and have a running water, so I'm doing well"

5ed base manuals, DM, Monster and Player books.... Anyone playing 5ed here? any advice on returning to D&D? Any links for some cool stuff that can be accessed on line or shipped to EU, - like map creator tools, additional and expanded lore, etc. I'd greatly appreciate any info here

See how all of these are making financially. real paradise each one of them

It's fairly simple, really.... It's the fault of the parents - as they want their children not to be stressed out and be treated like special snowflakes It's the fault of the edu system - it does not challenge the kids enough, as they could get stressed out It's the fault of the PC bullcrap - we are all winners, we are all special etc. killing healthy competitiveness It's the fault of the mass media - showing that you just need looks and be a spineless dumbass - there is no value in being smart, especially in the cultural circles suffering worst effects, like blacks and spanics - but any mention of that will get you labeled racist and then it's the fault of politics, not giving two ****s about this, because stupid voters are easier to manipulate As for edu being state funded - it does not work, state has too many expenses as is and high quality education institutes need extra inflow from private funding. Sure, baseline education should be available to all, and should be good enough, that there is no such gaps between what you know at the end of High School and what the Univs want and expect from you, but Univ level should be based on scholarships and combination of state funding and private funding. State only institutes stop being good and productive, and the cadre just looks for lazy ways of pulling gov. money in most cases.

So what's with all those Trump haters mocking a 10yo kid and being insensitive and intolerable to his behavior of typical 10yo kid who gets bored by "officials"?
