Well Gruffles, as crazy as things have been for you, I admire the way you're going about all this. The loss of a relationship and dealing with big changes involving kids who mean the world to you can...

I personally think it should be Shogun vs Rome: Totally Confused. Here’s some marketing ideas:

- Up to 10,000 idiots from different eras on the battlefield, all wondering which way to go.

- See...

Hate to be a cynic here PorT, but I've asked the AI question before, and also received no answer. I'm guessing not much will be done to improve it, but then maybe Caliban will address the question at...

One thing I've observed about some cavalry fighting against spearmen (or other foot units) is that the cavalry seem to keep charging even when in melee.

Has anyone else seen this? Once the initial...

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply. Though it's early in the game, the difference in gameplay is huge. Glad to find a mod where I actually have to use caution when engaging an enemy. Can't wait to...

First off, wow. Great mod. The AI almost looks likes it's thinking, for once.

I just started using 1.4a as the Byzantines. Though I realize the Byzantine spearmen aren't the greatest units, I was...

My only problem with it (i assume it's hardcoded) is the enemy soldiers who route through my lines toward my rear and then rally behind me and attack from the rear.

He is awake.

I like longer campaigns. 1000 turns is ok by me.

I think you're right about this, but only to a certain extent. The problem I mostly find with the infantry charge bug (if I may call it that) is that I still get units that only charge the first row...

Does this mean there will not be any more AI improvements beyond the recently released 1.2 patch?

The Bates Method or Orthoptics. Both have followers and naysayers. Check 'em out and see what you think.

You really think it's fake? It's been all over the news.

And for those getting riled up by Seleucus comments, I wouldn't worry. If he isn't simply trolling for the kind of attention he's getting,...

I agree about the archers in the game. The only thing I find worthwhile sometimes is having tons of crossbow units on a hill doing a lost of damage before the enemy arrives.

Regarding the charge...

I disagree. Regardless of our stance on God/gods we all care for other people. It's an emotional thing, not a rational thing. Granted, you'll find people of all stripes who care more or less for...

Probably sitting in front of a computer, perusing this or another game's forum, wondering where the hell the last 10 years went.

I'm with Kino on this (see his post on page 1).

I read the entire thing and I don't quite see where you're coming from. Of course, this is all I have to go on as I haven't read anything else you...

Or, like the rest of us, they will cease to exist.

Emperor, while it may not be true for all atheists, I would imagine many of them became so by thinking hard about these things, just as you've suggested. Just because you think one would naturally...

Playing an English campaign here and haven't noticed this. Have you noticed this in other campaigns?

Seems like every town I take over (i'm still in 1st half of 1100s) has way more improvements...

Good grief, guy. Grow up. It's obvious you're a smart guy, but it's hard to enjoy any of your arguments when they're riddled with rude comments and condescension. It's less about having skin, and...

I thought you were going to give him the last word. Is it impossible to disagree with someone without resorting to rudeness? And yeah, I have noticed that you've received an unfortunate amount of it...

I don't know of anything else. I do recall reading an interview with the makers of Eve saying they were working on the possibility of getting out of the ship when in station, however. I guess they...

Might want to give the free trial a try.

Doing the tutorials can take a couple hours to get you going, but once you start getting a handle...

Europa Universalis diplomacy combined with Total War combat.

Well, this is the first mod I've tried since 1.2 (now using 1.5, up from 1.4.1). I quit playing MTWII a couple of weeks after it came out because it was no better than RTW, imo.

So far, UAI's...

1. I don't want kids either!

2. Surprise! I bought you the most expensive computer I could find from Falcon Northwest!

3. Surprise! I got myself one, too. Now we can play multiplayer!

4....

As practiced by most Buddhists in the world, I don't have much of problem defining it as a religion. The Buddha has been deified in almost every sect, and, like many Christians (or Muslims, or...

Hehe. Good luck with that, then. I'll try and keep track of you, and when you're finally dying I'll come to your deathbed so you can tell me right before you croak, "Ultraman, it turns out he was..."...

I hope simplicity doesn't imply he need be dismissed. He may have one or two interesting things to say. But then how should I know? Like I said I hardly read much of him.



How do you ascertain...

I know Fromm was quite interested in Zen Buddhism. I haven't read much of anything he's had to say about it, but I know he co-wrote a book with D.T. Suzuki entitled "Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis,"...

Lead the way, trooper! :smile:

Would you mind sharing your vision of what that might be? Or perhaps you don't know yet, and that's fine. I don't mean this as an insult, it's just that your...

I never said you said that. I just sought to address what I thought it was you were getting at.

That's exactly what I was getting at, hence the wink. And yes to your question. Or maybe. Or no. How can anyone answer anything with certainty at this point? But you understand, of course, that I'm...

Ah, the illusion of purpose.;) That's not something I think I'll speak to right now, lest we devolve into a relativistic discussion about something that may or may not really exist.

I'm not...

Well, I'm not so bold as to say I know what life is or what it is "meant" for. And I doubt that Buddhism would say that it seeks to extinguish experience in life, but instead the false notion of self...

Yeah, I've met a few people who just have an innate ability. No tricks or anything involved, they just have them regularly.

Suffering is one word to describe what the Buddha called 'dukkha,' which is hard to translate directly. Many who try will use "unsatisfactory" or "uneasy" as a way of getting to it's inherent...

The most popular methods that I know of are as follows:

1. KEEP A DREAM JOURNAL!!!

Anything I've ever read about lucid dreaming emphasizes doing this as it actually helps you recall dreams more...

Speaking of suicide, which doesn't seem to be the real concern with the op, I once heard a story of a guy who tried to kill himself by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge, but survived.
