Curious, is there a known bug with the leader portrait/background with custom races? I was just trying to put one together and can't get rid of the human-dude as the leader picture. There only appears to be the option to use your own custom image/vid instead of selecting between the Stardock ones. Also if you click "done" in the customize window it appears to crash the game..? cheers,
it's a cool game. Mostly for the novelty that it's an indy-one-dude-creation or whatever. It's a good game, I played it a while when it first came out. Pretty linear and when you get your city going it pretty much levels out with nothing to do. Haven't played it since then so unsure if it's been updated to be deeper, or how the mod scene is (I don't think there were mods when I played, or maybe just a couple to fix bugs).
meh, whatever, fuck yahoo.. The end result is just an arms race ending with sophisticated users not seeing ads and the 90% having a shittier browsing experience. Pretty much how the rest of real life already is anyway... The place where this really sucks though is at work, where users don't actually have all that much control over the terminals they're using...
[quote who="Frogboy" reply="12" id="3604592"] To answer your question: We were under NDA.

And also the steam data was something you wanted, especially early for the AI...
All of these things are slated to be addressed (although Torians haven't been officially confirmed, just mentioned - so a replacement if not a return could be surmised). Note, you could always create a custom race of humping frogs if it's really bothering you.. [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] [e digicons]:smitten:[/e] [e digicons]:frogboy:[/e] cheers
[quote who="duelking2000" reply="37" id="3604601"] I don't get why people feel the need for debt interest to be paid off with funds. The way your business, and indeed a lot of businesses in real life, pay for the itnerest is by stacking more ddebt. This means your borrowing money, to pay off the interest for money you borrowed. It owrks in real-life, it works in this game. [/quote] Well, I think that the point of the discussion is that it only works
[quote who="Cubit32" reply="29" id="3604444"] the game could automatically sell your resources to pay the interest, starting with the highest priced resources. [/quote] One of the things that I really liked about Railroad Tycoon II was the 'market mania' element of the game where you'd get random margin calls on your debt - so using margin was always tied to a very specific risk of large sections of your enterprise being unwound against your wishes
[quote who="Pbhead" reply="7" id="3603623"] play it like a country than a business then. Countries cant seem to do anything but go into massive debt.

Just wasn't sure if I missed the memo or whatnot... @Armondo, I would suspect that this'll all be elaborated upon later so as you can make an informed decision about purchasing. cheers

[quote who="Heavenfall" reply="6" id="3601823"] The issues that have been focused on so far is privacy - you literally cannot turn off sending data to MS. And to a lesser degree the unclear revenue stream for MS because they gave it away for free to most people. (Those issues are probably connected, obviously).

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="3" id="3601693"] Reviews on Steam are meaningless to me. [/quote] I feel like they're at least a pretty good starting point for me in deciding whether or not to take the plunge...
Reviews are mixed, only 61% positive on Steam, if this tells you anything... This one also caught my eye - as with most games that I'm not founding/kickstarting, I figured I'd give it a second look when it hit $10.. cheers,
[quote] However, what we really should have considered is that it’s not that people hate taxes per se, they had COERCION. They don’t like their government controlling their activity.

Because my load at 5GHz is now hardly over 30%, the CPU socket temp is barely getting to 50C with my h100i GT. yeah, I like the water cooler a lot, but it's software is absolute crap. It's quite basic though, so doesn't have to be perfect. The radiator surprisingly never gets warm, and if I disable radiator completely, I o
I actually have a question regarding the above...

Done & done.. Because you asked, and because you definitely deserve it. I don't usually review anything... On a related note, I see that it's now 80% "very positive" congrats. I'll be posting again if they get wiped out after release. cheers, keep up the hard work & have a beer after crunch time (you guys have some great brewers in MI)..
It was confirmed in a chat earlier this week that they have plans to add a "random" button for opponents. (which I took to mean, randomly generated to fill, say, a 100 player map). Won't make it into the initial release, but it's coming sometime. Hope this helps.
