yes, we were responsibly for branding it such and trying to tie with our historical movmenet of "spring of nations". Should we not intervene, they would probably die out fairly fast, because majority was not focused around one common idea for the building of a nation... it was more of a lot of smaller groups having even vastly different interests but with one main obstacle, being the current leader of a country. You need to understand that such movements will win on their own, if there is really backing in the nation for it... Look at our spring of nations, look at the changes in 1989 in soviet block... you do not have to look far.

Well, you can leave your democracy and western values at their border... And we would stay at the border....but you notice millions of Muslims are leaving there countries and crossing our borders to look for an understandable better life in the West So what do you suggest? Should we do what you say and refuse to let anyone in to the EU,....maybe you right, it seems a bit cruel Yeah, well, the thing is, they are coming for expected better life that for them means simply put, more money. The problem is, they are coming with culture and historical baggage of prejudices, grudges etc. that stopped them from becoming rich and prosperous. Imagine what will happen, when they will discover that 95% will have to work for minimum wage in countries, where they will get a small apartment for which they will pay 2/3rds of one persons income for monthly rent, then comes the cost food, different weather conditions, different culture, etc. Our society rose up on the idea that "no type of work dishonors a person doing it". These people might not feel the same way, and when children of these people will see a relative poverty in which they live, they will act the same as the current days failed 2nd and 3rd generation of immigrants from 70s-80s. EU economies are at a point where they cannot sustain that walfare state, which they wanted to create those 20 years ago. Germany saving, France cutting social expenditure, UK cutting support for immigrants social benefits, etc. Next economic crisis will kill those states, if they will now bloat expenditures on defense policies and social expenditures on immigrants. Wait for the next wave of elections in EU and the left winged parties will see a big decline. Even in Germany parties that had near 0 impact, like AfD, become visible and impactful. Merkel will pay most likely with a loss in next elections. (already perdiction polls show it will be extremly difficult for her to be a winner) UK first time ever reports that UK citizens want to leave EU (over 50% in the referendum polls want to leave it) CEE countries getting nationalist and right winged parties at the helms, which already creates tensions within EU in regards to immigrants (mainly Poland and Hungary) We are heading in the direction of a clash, where the result will be either, they will assimilate to our standards (I really doubt, considering they didn't for the last couple of decades and they bring distinctive beliefs and culture from their home region) or we will see more riots, increased crime rates, and eventually failing states due to inability to control it. If in the next 10 years we won't solve the issue, the next economic crisis will kill EU. (major ones like to happen every 20 or so years)

The next historical TW? not sure, they did not go into the details, but they re-assured that it will have at least the same modding support as the last two titles, i.e. Rome2 and Attila. Not sure how far it can go, but some mods, like DEI for Rome 2 were pretty good. But as for Warhammer, well... you will have to create everything on your own. Shame for such a restriction from GW, but I guess people are familiar with the engine and file fomrats etc. long enough to do stuff on their own.
-
Yeah, I like it most out of the IE games, probably because it has 3ed ruleset, which for me was far better than 2ed. Also encounters were interesting and plot was decent enough. Not every game needs to be BG/Planescape to be fun. It was your standard aventrue story with lots of good combat and some interesting dungeons. Did I say 3ed ruleset?
-
Nah, it's their deal with GW... they can't give out modding tools for this IP, but they said while there will be no official support they will not be making life hard for it. Their regular next historical TW will have modding tools and mod support.

Sword Coast Legends - RTWPD&DRPG and it's out now!

If only game mechanics was more akin to the tabletop version... I hate the skill trees and half assed implementation of Colldown mechanics, plus retarded level scaling in the campaign.with goblins running at 500+HP and some regular mobs having 1300+ HP -
Meanwhile, grateful refugees at old Tempelhof airport, started fights with security personel. Some escaped that refugee camp, some security personel injured.

Nah, All "empires rise and fall" such is the way, and each time everyone thinks that theirs is the best and will last forever.... We had a good run, 300-400 years? Not as long as Romans or some older civilizations, but we still have 2-3 generations before it will collapse. Some of us might see the start of another dark age, but i think most of us will die of old age by then. We will see increasing crime rates, even more disparity between rich and poor, culutral clashes with some strong ideology driving "barbarians", while we will be trying to avoid conflic and try to throw money at it, same as Romans did, but as in their case it will also be ours where it will eventually ruin economies and then we will see civil wars. On the plus side, we leave quite a heritage to build upon, "discovery of space" and probably after the dust will settle and new culture will start building civilication on what was left, they will be going into an age of space exploration, but first we will repeat the dark ages and it will be a move inwards, into spiritual exploration and worship of a deity/religion. Unless some whackos will start using nukes/ then we might face return to the caves...

Well for starters, you can observe Italy as how public institutions and schools consider not celebrating christmas to not enrage muslim refugees/immigrants... On another not I do remember a case from some Danish town, where muslim got majority in the town hall, and they outright remove christmas celebrations including a simple town sponsored christmas tree...

I dont believe the Swedish immigration policy is a disaster, you obviously will believe that because of your anti-EU and anti-Western views. I understand you want the EU to fail but most of us dont want that It has some issues but I won't believe its a disaster until someone who maybe lives in Sweden or the surrounding area can comment..may Rostere or Elerond? Bruce, remind me how are your crime rates in your country again? then please tell me what social/ethnic group is responsible for most of them?

Isn't that article from two weeks ago? How is it relevant to for example events from yesterday and today? We have at least one official confirmation from yesterday about deploying naval based S-300s there (Heavy Rocket Cruiser "Moskva").

UHHH me likes much those screenies... me likes... -
Additionally, not sure how accurate this is, but it seems that Russia alreayd added a significant number of SU-27CM and SU-30CM, which will be constantly patroling skies on the Turkish-Syrian border and escorting the Russian bombing operations in the region. Apparently extra S-300 land and sea based are also added to the anti-air matrix in the region, and Russia officially infomred US that each flight and mission has to be reported to them due to this coverage. on top of that they responded to Israel, that they have no intention of leaving those systems in Syria once the operation against ISIS and OTHER terrorists will be completed, as Israel voiced concerns over the deployment of these systems that can also cover their airspace. it seems that Russian bombing operations have increased in intensity over the couple last hours once the S-400 systems were deployed and the additional fighter jets were relocated. EDIT: I cannot verify the legitimacy of the source, so please take all of this with a healthy dose of doubt. EDIT2: Apparently a lot of information ahs been already confirmed officially by Russians, such as extra fighter jets and deployment of S-400, still no official confirmation on other pieces in the above, but considering the partial confimration it might be highly probable.
-
Not sure how accurate this is, but Russia deployed their S-400 land SAM. It can easily target even quite advanced aircrafts. This is suppoused zone of control for that deployed system.
-
I'm sorry for the Turkey... Why it has to be so good?!
-
Well this will probably force Putin to stop squabble over Ukraine and will lead to renewing trade with EU. Turks are the easier economic target for Russians and they cannot have bans for both producers of food. Unless they want to tie themselves with Chinese... I know they would like to not overcommit to that relationship as well.
