I used Word 2007, nothing more, nothing less. I renamed the file to have a .WPS extension and when opening up the document, instead of using the default suggestion, I hit the "drill down" arrow to select different file types. "Works 6.0 - 9.0 (*.wps)" was the very last one on the list down at the bottom

There you go... Edit: In Word 2003 format.

Maybe it is something like Gandalfs "You shall not pass"?

Where are Eldars alts when you need them?

My personal contribution to the worldwide Nestle boycott... change of coffee brand. I blame Walsingham for that, since he pointed out their dubious practises a long time ago

Maybe he can not make a "we can not comment" comment?

My otherwise excellent monitor is giving up on me. Way too premature Now I have to go through all the hassle of warranty and shipping and... I hate it, why can't that piece of junk just work? Not to mention that when I ship it off, I have to use my old microscopically small 19" monitor.

Aww... Just measuring the temperature and checking the civility of the discussions...

Poof... Too much trolling, too little constructive input.

The thread is getting a bit long. Continuity This Way

Start of old thread End of old thread I am unqualified to comment on this game... so I steal a few quotes from the previous thread to kick it off. Strange, she looks 'romancable' in the video. I'm still wondering if the disparity due to the original "12 different NPCs" and the current "you can get 10 npcs on a playthrough" is due to 1 slot being reserved to a ME1 romance. Or maybe they just get the bridge dropped on them.

You can invest in your... cooking skills! Ok, besides that, this game looks interesting. I might just buy it when its released down here (if it is, that is). I can always blame Mkreku and Morgoth

Yes. You need NWN2 installed to play MotB, but you don't need to have played it Edit: It works sort of like BG2 and ToB. You can play ToB with imported/pre-generated characters, even though it technically is a continuation from BG2

Lets compare snippets of info...

Good man Maybe we should start a club...

It finally came to a military confrontation between the glorious Byzantine Empire and the filthy French imperialists. Having amassed almost 190 regiments at the border and sailing a further 60 regiments in 3 navies around the Iberian peninsula, the offensive was precipiated by a flurry of espionage activity, completely destabilising the French before the long overdue declaration of war. The silly Bavarians decided to side with France and got devstated in the first month of the war. Relinguishing Transylvania to me and giving up the core provinces of some of my Austrian possessions was the price for them to remain independant. My Byzantine marines landed in Normandy and threatened Paris from the north while the bulk of my army invaded southeastern France. After years of warfare and more major battles than can be counted on two hands, one third of France and its overseas colonies were occupied territories. I did get my butt kicked in Paris though, as the Armee Royale was much bigger than anticipated. More than 25 regiments of cavalry alone plus 20 regiments of infantry. Internal unrest threatening further war efforts, peace terms were dictated and Piedmont, Provence, Schwyz, Lombardia and a few overseas possessions changed hands to their rightful and just owners.

Eat our dust Kiwis!...

I once lost an entire day of my life because I wanted to know more about the English Civil War on wikipedia

Better save the face of this thread (yeah, too late, I know)... Plenty of room in C&C for generic "What constitutes a crpg" threads

Maybe he managed to get himself shot during the first level?

After a Dutch colonial empire and a resurrected Byzantine empire I'm done for now, thinking of going back to the Witcher, but I never did get the Enhanced Edition (or those massive patches) and I wonder whether my bandwidth can handle it. It's still much too expensive to just buy a copy of here (80NZD = something like 40-50USD). I was just going to wait for Alpha Protocol, but who knows what's happening with the release date there. I seem to remember seeing the EE edition at EB Games with a rather hefty discount. I'll take a second look at it when I get in there again one of these days to see if I remember wrongly. I know all about kiwi internet connections

I really should play that one some day... bought the original "trilogy" pack a very long time ago. Still haven't gotten around to play Tactics yet though. Isn't there a mod around to fix the reputedly ridiculous amount of random encounters? I think it was that word of mouth thing that prevented me from starting a game originally (and then I eventually forgot that I had it lying around).

If by EU you mean Europa Universalis, then Yay It strikes a good balance between level of detail and playability. Not too much to drown you in micromanagement (like Victoria - an Empire under The Sun) and enough not to make it too superficial (like various computer clones of "risk"). Plus, I like the period of history that it covers (1399 - 1821 or so)

I think we stopped counting after 20. Numbers that large become too abstract Still playing a bit of Europa Universalis III. The Byzantine forces in northern Italy is now massing for a major offensive against the evil French. It just takes forever for the footsloggers to walk all the way from northwestern Persia to Italy and there are only so many transport ships to go around Soon my Greek speaking hordes shell educate the unwashed french masses with the sword and the cannon how proper civilisation is done.

I think Kaftan is worried, him being a game designer and all, that women only wants to have his babies because of his wealth and influence, hence the recent threads
