I'm having re(oc)curring dreams of abstract gaming sessions with mostly menus and numbers, and some minimalistic pictures here and there, but always wake up before getting to know them better. I think it is my brain telling me how bad I miss the C-64 era or something. Not sure what to look forward to in 2015, apart from this one. Might as well go for Heroes of Might and Magic III HD edition, since I can't get that old one to work on my computer anymore! In a week or so that is. I'

Gamma, eh? A terminology unheard of since Elite Dangerous came out! At least we have arrived in the appropriate year, it has been like waiting for many months, with a fair selection of fascinating seasons moving past in short order, like in that movie "the time machine". The really old one, just in case someone made a new crappy one! The book is better at any rate, but now it is starting to get out of hand. Just happy to see the light in the end of the snowy tunnel. Need to get away f

I guess that means the code for the "Fountain of Youth" is not ready yet. Not that drinking data helps much to alleviate this entropy thing at any rate. Ah well. We'll just conquer the universe and hope that in space, nobody can see how old you really are!

Might barely be able to survive such bad news! Just joking, it looks all good to me. Remember that summer break, it is probably healthy! :-)

Lord Kona approves. You can tell by his expression.

Hopefully getting my grubby hands on this one before the month is a forgotten dream. Need to show 'em that 4X is alive and kicking!

Those typos must be a bad spell. Will check on them later. :-)

Tis done! One less thing to obsess about. That is such a relief. :-)

[quote who="treborblue" reply="7" id="3454215"] I would rather your actions dictate what choices were available to you. I don't like the idea that you could purchase a tech from the good tree when your a genocidal nutter. Your decisions during planet colonisation, your actions towards other civs etc. would effect your 'Ethic Swing' (Think venn diagrams) In Galciv2 you could pick all the Evi

The colorization was not hard to separate when focusing on the numbers in a dedicated way. But the transition was not dramatic enough to notice, when busy in other areas. I do not claim the differentiation was next to unspottable, just very neighborly as color scales go. :-p

There is a certain danger in extraordinary exposure exponentially expanding. I just tried to make it a 4X. He he. But the lesson is that when it is hard to find, you need true dedication. When it is easy to find, you need artificial filtration from such a dangerous invasion. And that was just to make it rhyme of course. :-p

Somewhat related: I see the numbers are white when you are in the positive, and they turn to yellow when it goes negative. But it was somewhat hard to notice the difference on my system at least. Not saying they need to go all the way green and red, but perhaps the differentiation could be increased?

I hope this will not lead to a lot of trouble. Freedom from the oppressive 32-bit regime is worth it though! Viva la revolution!

It would be nice if you could not only center, but actually follow a ship that way.

Found a "lost gunboat" and had problems ordering it to move around. Had it on auto explore first, then started to manually move it, after which the path placing became more and more difficult. Especially at greater range. Repeated attempts could get it to move a little, but mostly in short straight lines. Long distance pathing failed to register. DISREGARD. THAT WAS THE RANGE LIMIT. :-)

The beginning has started!

[quote who="Campaigner" reply="27" id="3449687"] Those of you who feel that this will delay the next Elder Scrolls game might be correct. If TESO gets successful it might become like World of WarCraft.... ....There hasn't been a sequel to WarCraft III for 11 long years now....[/quote] Any MMO other than "that game" being successful? I thought that was hardcoded to never happen. But then again, if it will negatively impact our chanc

I'll pass. They let you play an Imperial only by preordering, and then you can join anything everywhere because you are just a preorder gimmick after all. Okaaay...

In the beginning Stardock created the heavens... If you look closely you can see the number 1-7. This means that we are at the first day of seven. Might indicate that the real work lies ahead! That's it for symbolism. Carry on!

[quote who="ForesterSOF" reply="140" id="3447364"] Looks like we are in the minority.[/quote] The minority will always rule the majority. Even if it is only morally. But that is one way to deal with reality. Said with more than a little duality. ;-)

I backed Elite Dangerous on kickstarter, and not regretting s second of it so far. They are hard at work trying not to dumb down the galaxy. Something that most would do, in order to preserve sanity. :-)

[quote who="kryo" reply="16" id="3447358"] Quoting Rudy_102, reply 12Any other currencies you may have in mind? like, say, hundred of Remington 00 Buck 12 gauge shells? I vote for Nuka-cola Caps.[/quote] One of the more refreshing currencies out there. If you're getting stuck with only money somewhere, and realize that they make for a very dry or indeed hard meal, when the system falls out. ;-)

Looks absolutely splendid. Getting a little "Galactic Empire" feeling when looking at that picture. But no worries. I always play those guys. For they are the good ones!

[quote who="tjashen" reply="9" id="3446034"] Warlords III - Reign Of Heroes/Darklords Rising (don't play it as much these days as it won't work on my Vista machine despite numerout attempts to get it to work, I still have an XP laptop that I use specificallty to play this game when I get the itch). [/quote] Had forgotten about the Warlords games! Used to play the very first in the series by hotseat, with a friend. On the Amiga it mus
