It depends. If I play Drengin/Korath, I eat them. If I play Yor, they're ground down into bio-oil. :D
I'm not a convert. I'm still a pirate. I see no reason to apologize. Piracy was the reason I ever found this beautiful, excellent game. I didn't pay for it right away. No, I pushed it in front of me for a long time. If I'm still a pirate, and don't believe in intellectual property or copyrights, why did I buy the game? Simple. It's a fucking awesome game. :D In GalCiv2, everything a good game should have, from patches to expansions, from release to the day it dies. This company have
[quote]"You only get one chance". People can forgive, even forget, a pushed-up release date. But people NEVER forget a game that sucked because it kept crashing on their system. Years, or even just months later, someone may say "they've patched it up pretty well"; But that won't matterYou are absolutely right. And if you just do REALLY bad, you also get a hommage in another game like Driv3r in GTA San Andreas:Quote from Sweet: "Damn, Reflections never got this finished. Tanner, you suck ass!"P.S
[quote]With the exception of the campaign, metaverse and a few editors...what else would one be waiting for from the current beta version? Yes, I know those 3 things are a lot...Now, that assumes everyone is in the beta. This isn't true however. There are people who are awaiting a live release for the CD to install the game or just don't want to be playing a game in it's beta stages.To those not in the beta, I could see where the WTF stance is in play. They have been waiting for this game si
[quote]I honestly don't get why people are upset about this. Everyone usually rants how publishers push out unpolished titels, yet when a company takes the extra minute to really squash the last few bugs, they should just push it out the door?Keep in mind, TA is in PUBLIC BETA, which, for all accounts, probably is pretty close to the final product. There are constant updates about the curren status and what's being worked on.In the last poll, the majority voted 'make sure it's bug free' instead
[quote]Actually, you guys want to know the one-week delay cause? The new ridiculously large galaxy size. They have to be play tested and those things take serious time.[/quote] Just to be perfectly clear on this and avoid any and all confusion.. Are you talking about 'Immense' galaxy size or have you added a new, even larger, galaxy size? I've understood it in the way that Immense is the kind of ridiculously large size you're talking about, but just to stay [B]perfectly clear[/B] on
[quote]Yes, developers who don't make their games widely scalable aren't helping the problem, but neither is the pig-ignorant moron consumer who thinks his 1.3GHz P3 is going to run anything made in the last three years.[/quote]Hear, hear! Of course, me and Uranium can kinda take the high ground here, since we obviously have better computers than 'the norm'. I agree with the general sentiment that things have gotten 'quite' out of hand these past years, with the gaming industry more or
[quote]I did not purchase Heroes of Might and Magic V because of hearing about destroyed drives and granting root access.Umm, they removed Starforce (the thing that damages drives and grants root access) before the game ever went to press.[/quote]Actually, I think that just underlines his point even more. He didn't purchase HoMM5 because he HEARD about Starforce. While I have no doubt that what you're saying is true, it doesn't mean that HE kept himself up-to-date on the issue. If the m
[quote]I'll be happy to post a link to the reasonably clean version when it is done. To tide you over, here is the entire quote:So*, what have we here? The great Alan Bradley finally lowers himself to returning the poor Atlarian girl's calls? Oh, that's right, I forgot! YOU were too busy (Censored-ing)my SISTER, weren't you! Did SHE fake all her (Censored) for you too? Huh? Did you two make any of those "I swear, baby, nobody will ever see it" videos? Like the one of US that I just got a copy of
First of all, Sins wasn't really my cup of tea. That being said, both are excellent games in their own right, and you should get both. If you absolutely must choose, I'll say GalCivII - but that's because I like that style of gaming. Where I can take a break, tab out and talk over MSN for a while. Or go make a cup of tea. Yes. Cups of tea. Or many cups of tea. But on the other hand, you may be the kind of player that really likes a slightly more action-packed RTS, lik
[font="Impact"][B][size="7"]*yawn*[/size][/B][/font] Haven't we already been over this, in countless threads? Weren't there a fairly active thread just a while ago, that mysteriously disappeared (or, I just can't find it anymore:NOTSURE: )? I'm not getting dragged into this again, because I know it'll just be deleted or locked. Bottom line - Overall i support piracy. If you don't; whatever. :p
I'm starting to realize that I'm old. 22. :(
I agree that we would benefit greatly from a feature like this being implemented properly. Until then, there's [B]PANTS![/B]
[quote]With what you've said, I don't know how you can not consider yourself to be a thief. You pirate, you steal, you are a thief. Get over it.[/QUOTE]Piracy, and I'm talking about "intellectual property" here not "yarr, shiver me timbers", isn't stealing. Hence, I am not a thief. I'm a pirate. Insert "yarr" here. [quote]I've pirated. I've stolen. I've stolen REAL, PHYSICAL things. That makes me a thief.[/QUOTE]I haven't. [quote]I'm okay with that.[/quote]I'm not.[quote]T
[QUOTE]If you take offense over the fact that I called people who steal things thieves, then perhaps the issue lies not in what I said but in your conscious.[/QUOTE]Hmm.. nope, that's not it. My concious is clean as a whistle. White as a sheet. I've stolen nothing of which you can put a price on. [quote]I couldn't have said that better myself kryo... Pirates and people who use pirated software are thieves - no matter how they try to justify it.[/QUOTE]I am no thief and I resent being called
I believe that it's said that Super Powers are hardcoded, so we can't do it ourselves. I'm sorry that's the way it is, because I really like your ideas.
[quote]Oh and not everyone is "rationalizing", some people in the world do actually have principles :/ Admittedly most don't seem to though.If you are talking about those who pirate, then those who do not rationalize are those who openly admit that they are stealing, in which case their principles are already somewhat dubious.[/quote]I take offense! >:O My moral fibre and principles are stern, and in no way dubious. Do I rationalize? Yes, of course I do. I rationalize everything I do. T
[quote]Besides, everyone knows the legend; Cervantes couldn't fight the wind mill.- Zyxpsilon.[/quote]Wait, what? Cervantes? Cervantes was the writer of Don Quixote. Don Quixote was the one fighting the windmill. Don't try to sound smart unless.. well.. you are.

[quote]At the end of the day, the people who "do stuff" will always have the advantage over the people who "don't do stuff". Pirates are slowly motivating ever increasing levels of DRM and in time, [B]I hate to say it, [I]DRM is going to win.[/I][/B][/quote] Haha, oh wow. I think you are overestimating any kind of unified front towards pirates, aswell as underestimating the tenacity of the pirates. If that's a future we as pirates will have to face, then have at thee! //V
Nevermind, I managed to find it. It was hidden in the settings. -.-
Oh, please, there has to be SOMEONE that can help with this. :'(
I just bought the bundle package (download) and installed Stardock Central. I have no problem telling it do download and install.. only that it installs in a really, really retarded and downright WRONG directory. When I ask it to install, it asks me if I want to install all of bla bla bla components, I press yes, it downloads and installs.. and creates a bloody mess. How do I download the game so I can store it for myself (so that when Stardock dies, global communications goes down
[quote]It's a beta. You have no right to complain.(disclaimer: you do, technically, have a right to complain, but it's stupid)it's not stupid when you're in the middle of trying to switch your mod from a DA one to a TA one.[/quote] Nope, sorry. Still stupid. :)
While we're on the subject of updating the site.. The Databanks sorely needs an update. Not just for Dark Avatar, but now for Twilight of the Arnor. Especially the information about the civilizations are suffering. The Krynn, for example, aren't even listed. At least one civilization is linked to the wrong site, and another is "Coming soon..." yet that article was never written. So..
Guys, for the love of god, check the news before you go cry wolf.. -.- https://forums.galciv2.com/?AID=177763
