I tried the demo and didn't really like it. Not surprising since I didn't like any of the other Total War games.

[quote who="Dsraider" reply="39" id="2905510"] More models per unit striking allow them to scale weapons WAY back and still retain their effectiveness, which in turn allows them to re-balance armor. YEE-HAW. NO. A higher Attack and Defense to Hp Ratio is bad for so many reasons. Unit Hp should go up not down. Whats your average unit going to have? 2 Hp and 6 Attack? HP wouldn't matter ever, only defense would.....[/quote] Games Workshop disagrees.

Reply to Recursion and the Universal Grammar in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

Hmm... I think you're right about prepositional phrases since they can be used to construct an infinite number of sentences so long as there's at least one noun and at least one preposition in the language... And I think that if I'm reading the above correctly, saying that a language is nonrecursive is equivalent to saying that it includes a countable number of sentences.

Reply to Recursion and the Universal Grammar in Life, the Universe and Everything Elemental Forums

Ah, I think that I understand what you're saying now. I think that people are getting caught up in the phrase 'logical construct', since science doesn't (obviously) demonstrate logical relationships, only empirical ones. Let me know if this is accurate. Science 'works' means that science's methodology produces conclusions of a certain kind -- namely, conclusions that're consistent with each other and with other agreed upon norms like verifiability, simplicity, etc. In oth

Scientists place 'faith' in the scientific method...[/quote] I think you're right in that the faith that Swicord describes is an ordinary sort of faith that attends most human interactions. E.g. Most if not all assertions require us to presume (perhaps, take it on faith) that the asserter is sincere. I'll try to stake out a stronger claim for faith in science that goes beyond

They'd need to fundamentally change the way that units move. (At least, last I remember, they couldn't turn in place, ie., without some forward thrust.)

Yeah, everything after the Hand of Thrawn duology should be burned. Everything written by Pablo Hidalgo, Abel G. Pena, and Curtis Saxton should be scattered after burning.

Reply to A Petition for the end of Good and Evil in this Game. in War of Magic Elemental Forums

I may be the only one who believes this, but I wish Elemental's backstory were less intrusive and that the factions were good and evil simpliciter. I enjoy fantasy games because they provide an escape from the rationalizing that accompanies everyday decisions. Destroy the magical item or take it for yourself? Do it for the sake of being good/evil.
