Deserts of Karak doesn't count. It's on one plane. The whole point of Homeworld was that you could command and view/zoom in a fully 3d environment. Take that away and what you have left is every other RTS.

The Homeworld series, up there among the best games I have ever played, can't even get a kickstarter reboot. Best they could manage was a cosmetic makeover.

I don't think devs think there is any money in traditional RTS as opposed to MOBA and the whole e sports nonsense which is kinda what the genre developed into.

Is there an Xcom2 mod which replaces the sparks with the mechs from the previous game.

I wonder. Do you think the reason he didn't pardon Snowden is practical or ideological. Practical in the sense that it would undermine the deterrent in divulging classified material, because Snowden hasn't been seen to be punished, rather he lives the life of an international celeb, often quoted and often asked on security matters, or ideological in that he broke the cardinal rule of the intelligence community and that the feeling is that the act itself was wrong. That he betrayed 'Murica as it were.

I guess the feeling in Europe is that he achieved some long overdue reforms that would essentially make the US a bit more like Europe which we naturally think of as a good thing. Now it's all being unraveled and we are getting another moron populist. We have enough of those over here to know how destructive they can be.

When I see that I read good value. Paying extra for branding is silly after all ?

Snowden was right about privacy. It's something you have to claim for yourself with encryption. They have been at it since the Bush administration.

Now I'm tempted to get the gog one.

So turns out I can get a wireless router for next to nothing and if it has more than one LAN connector (if it's a hub/switch) it's like price x 10. A simple hub/switch is also dirt cheap. It's two things though and more clutter underneath the desk.

stopped caring about that a long time ago.

Current anti ICBM systems only promise to be effective against small timers like N Korea. It's still MAD, I'm afraid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-ballistic_missile

No wait, that's ****ing romania. lol

Been to Hungary, drank a lot of Palinka. Czechoslovakia is the one with Havel and Chauchesko

Air B&B but not prime locations and off season.

The arena. The arena was fun and when you finally find a gun that shoots well and is also magically close to your level, also if you luck into a coop group that works well together, happened only once for me. But yes, the leveling sucks. Can't be said too many times.

That's probably what I meant then.

So, I have a socket in the wall with an internet connection. I would like a wireless router and a cable splitter in one. Preferably with USB c and LAN cable in one so I can use that with my tablet PC (only physical connections are USB C) Internet cable goes into router,another cable continues from router to PC. Router has firewall and provides a wireless hotspot. Anything like that exist ?

I agree that the reinforcement system is poor, there is a mod that increases reinforcement pods by up to 400 %. I recommend that. The use of the timer is also not as imaginative as it could be. Most annoying are the city missions where you lose your whole squad because the timer ran out. That's editorial interference. If I'm going to lose my whole squad you can't take away my control and just tell me it happened. But... compared with no timers or timers modded to include too many turns I definitely prefer timers.

Pen function is the best i've ever tried on a digitiser and i can now run my applications anywhere i go. Dunno if its worth 3200 euro though. Anyway never spending that much on one again. Wacoms monopoly is showing signs of finally breaking. We are going to have better options in their segment in a few years time.

It's not always, convoy missions, enemy stronghold missions, story missions, retaliation missions have no timer (although you usually lose a resistance contact every turn) It's basically just the city missions with an objective. The UFO missions have a timer but it's not critical.

What disable timer mod did you use? The one I used worked perfectly. I like the timer. Mostly. It ups the stakes. I mean it does kinda suck when you realise 2 or 3 turns before the end of a city mission that you aren't going to make it and that you are going to lose your whole squad. So play bronze man and have the option to restart a mission. Without the element of time you are losing out. It's just less interesting if you can do everything carefully and deliberately and is never forced to make bad decisions.

I think from their perspective there is precedence going back to the cold war in taking action against surveillance craft. They needed a very specific situation for a saber rattling stunt and clearly they jumped on the opportunity. Both parties know it's a stunt though. So what does the US do about it, well there is no easy answer to that. Maybe just saying 'stop being silly' is the right answer.

Well, a phone is right up in your face. You factor in distance when you try to calculate what the human eye is capable of seeing surely.
