What a great of brushing aside of a highly respected scholar by naming a percentage without a source.. What he was referring to was 'atheism' in the strict sense. See the quote below and look for the...
I've been thinking about this as well.. Mostly because I was astounded by a fact I heard during my American Studies class the other day, where my professor mentioned that only about 1-3 percent of...
Well, that's just a matter of semantics.. An economist dealing with history isn't automatically a historian, nor is a historian dealing with economy automatically an economist. However, I think that...
Well, historians obviously come in a wide variety. If I was looking for a thorough analysis of Hitler's economic policies, I'd probably look for someone with a degree in Social and Economic History,...
Cluny the Scourge said it correctly in his reply to ConantheBarbarian's original comment: Hitler may not have been democratically elected to the highest office, but he did have a very decent...
Definitely hope they decide to go with StarCraft 2!
It's about time they revisit that universe and give us an updated view of the Zerg, the Terrans and the Protoss.. As much as I love the original...
I knew I forgot something.. I remember doing that when I first installed Xenophonia 1E.
I feel like such a fool.. :tongue:
Thanks for the help, Beiss.. Keep up the great work with this amazing...
Well, the subtitles all work correctly with me, but something odd is going on.. After installing Xenophonia over the reinstalled game, which I had patched up to 1.2, I edited the...
I never smoked while I was growing (almost makes me wish I had: I ended up around 2 meters tall) and I still don't smoke any cigarettes..
Every now and then, birthdays, holidays and ofcourse New...
Not sure if it's the best show.. It's ok, but that's just about it.
Lost is simply amazing and Battlestar Galactica is also very, very good. In all honesty, there are quite a few shows on...
Read the 'current events' page. It has to be a joke..
While I have heard of the Flat Earth society before, I seem to remember they had a different website and even a forum. In any case, if there...
Great job, K.K! Absolutely beautiful work.. :thumbsup2
I'm definitely keeping an eye on this!
Ok.. The text I highlighted in bold just made me completely tune out to your arguments..
Bringing God into a discussion is a sure way to kill it. Neither you nor I can prove God is involved (and...
I'd want to be a part of the peasants.. That rake, man.. Wow! Absolutely amazing..
Or, if possible, a member of the bodyguard of a very cowardly general, who prefers not to join in the fray....
Ok.. I do have a funny video here as well, but just for starters, I have a few others people might enjoy..
If you haven't seen the new Battlestar Galactica, these videos might change your mind.. ...
The exact specs aren't known, but I think that 'loads of ram' isn't even necessary.. The game uses a 'procedural' system for everything: creatures, buildings, vehicles, planets and textures....
Wow.. Two months since a reply in this thread.. Anyone here still following the show?
Some of the episodes in season 3 have been depressingly slow, but I think / hope the show is going to pick up...
I don't think Germanicus91 is an anti-Catholic.. I mean, look at his comments:
They're not openly hostile or anything, just pointing out that the game seems to put Catholicism in a bit of a...
Hey, take it easy.. It's his mod, he has every right to do with it as he please.. :shifty:
I agree though, Housekeeper, I think Portugal is historically significant enough to be allowed to keep in...
I also chose Milan.. On my second or third campaign, I was playing as England, was allied with Milan and we were both fighting off France. They were taking them out in the south, I was gradually...
Have you found this tutorial yet, Sb2ean? http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?t=79274)
It details the process of how to add new factions to the existing factions..
Should be helpful...
The cartoony style isn't exactly my thing either, but it just looks absolutely amazing and, I think the level of cartooniness (if that's even a word) all depends on your own style; the type of...
I highly doubt they'll do that.. Maxis doesn't usually release demo's of their games and mostly relies on word of mouth and professional reviews for their sales.. Simcity 4, the Sims (both 1 and 2)...
Well, I for one am worried about having to move to higher ground, I love Amsterdam and wouldn't want to see it swallowed by the sea, but we can only keep out so much water.. We've kept out quite a...
Actually, since all of it is 'procedurally generated' (which is a very complex system to explain), the most basic files will range in the size of 'kilobytes' (as in somewhere between 2 and 10) for...
I've known about Spore since Will Wright made his first presentation of the game (which he said was held together by 'duct tape, wire and chewing gum) back in 2005.. From that point on I've been...
This is one of the best pages on Wikipedia: Unusual Articles.
The bat bombs are mentioned there as well.. Great story and it actually seemed quite feasible.
I can't say I approve of using...
I was a huge fan of Victoria, since that is simply the timeframe that I'm most interested in. Plus, there was some reward in being able to play minor factions and come out triumphing if you play it...
That's true.. I tried a battle in M2 with just musketeers and cannon and while it was somewhat exciting, it was hardly what I had pictured it to be. You make a valid point about CA remaking the...
Yeah, I agree.. The Total War series isn't exactly suited for the World Wars, since the games are based on massive battlefields with intricate formations and tactics involving infantry, cavalry and...
I disagree that the Total War series will focus on primarily on Ancient and Medieval periods, simply because we've only seen that area of history so far in their games.
I agree that the Napoleonic...
There's an inscription on a building here in Amsterdam that reads the following:
"Homo Sapiens Non Urinat Ad Ventum"
Which translates to the following:
"The thinking man does not urinate...
The one story I have told quite a few times while I was still teaching history is a story by Roald Dahl which completely blew me away when I first read. It's not necessarily a historically accurate...
Unless they're going to make the turns stand for one season instead of half a year, I think a Napoleonic: Total War would be waaay too short..
I think that people who think this game couldn't...
If you guys require any help regarding the Dutch faction, I think I might be able to help out. I'm a history student at the University of Amsterdam, so if you need any help, feel free to ask or PM.....
Actually, I think that would be AMAZING!
Though I agree with earlier posters that it would probably be best if they'd take a much broader timeline, such as starting in the early 16th century,...
Ahh.. The joys of religious indoctrination.. :thumbsdow
My parents (just as atheist as I am) found out some time ago as well and they said: 'Hey, it's ok, just don't try to clog up the harddrive...
Wow.. That is so amazing! I've always been really interested in the Napoleonic period and I would've loved to have used The Lordz modification for Rome: Total War..
I can't wait to see what it'll...
If you want / would like another potential influence, I really suggest you check out Bear McCreary. He is the composer for the television show 'Battlestar Galactica' (the new one, not the crappy 70's...
Interesting thread! I've always liked medals and what they stand for, so it's nice to read about medals and orders of other countries..
