What, in your opinion, are the best ever turn based games?
There's a large hard right punk scene, the most famous band from which is Screwdriver.

This was in reference to his support for the...
In much of modern western culture the idea of 'faith' is looked upon with disdain. It is seen as contrary to the shiboleths of apparant right thinking (logic and scientific method, as though they...
Didn't know that was the criterion. Still, There were only two 'first wave' punk band (the pistols and ramones) strictly speaking since antecedants aren't punk, and later bands were the next...
Glad to see so many Dead Can Dance fans. I would have made the thread a poll, but I obviously couldn't get close to listing everyone people might want to pick.
Camões, what a man. True renaisance hero IMO.
breaking the law - Judas Priest
Dazed and confused - Led Zep
New Noise - Refused
Weeping Song - Nick Cave
Hip-Hop - Dead Prez
I'm not sure about the list. My actual choice would be Refused, or if they count as hardcore then Discharge or Propaghandi. I like a lot of the early anarchist punk bands like the circle jerks,...
Yeah, I listen to a lot of Metal (more than any other genre). 90% of it is crap IMO, but that leaves a hell of a lot of good bands. I'm not a huge fan of the thread starter's faves being into more...
Oh, and I'm talking about their voice, not their body or emotional state.
I nominate;
Lisa Gerrard
Sinead O'Connor
Lisa Hannigan
Runhild Gammelsæter
Maddy Prior
Why is hitting a child different to hitting an adult?
P.S. In the U.K. the law is still that you have to leave a long term mark (i.e. really hurt them) to commit a crime, which ignores common...
Missile cavalry and archers using fire are best.
I know what the General means. The economics should be more intracately modelled. The warfare could be more realistic (which European colonial power ever suffered major internal unrest for declaring...
Inheritted last names weren't really invented untill quite late on in the game period, so it does actually make sense. Having said that, titles, trades and other last name determinants were often...
Is there anything in particular I should bare in mind when buying a case for a mid-range computer, and are there any particularly good brands?
I've just instaled this game, however, I'm not able to play it because after the intro. videos it always crashes and the message 'Failed to creat a graphics device. Exiting.' comes up. Does anyone...
For me, every release has been a step down in ambition and integrity. The focus on graphics over gameplay, the neglect of the AI, and the refusal to make the game any more in depth has just got more...
It was allways going to be one of the Germanic factions for me, and the Franks just took it. I love their versatile heavy infantry, especially the Francisca heerban. Good heavy cavalry and an...
Although the Phalanx was a fairly agressive formation historically, in RTW it can't be used in that way, which is a real shame. If you could somehow turn all your phalanx units into one unbroken line...
Horse archers are easily dealt with by using the range and killing power of cretan archers, or just normal archers if you can't spare any cretans. In my experience the Armenians never advance enough...
I've never played an easier campaign that the couple I've played with Pontus. I'd be interested to know what other people's experience with them is. I think what makes them so easy is:
Start...
Thrace is a great faction. You can dominate Europe with some, at first glance, very weak armies. If you use the right battle tactics you can absolutely own Roman armies. You need a line of Phalanx,...
In terms of difficulty, Numidia and Dacia, but those are both quite fun to play, I find.
The faction I dislike most is the Greek cities, not because I find it hard, but because unless you want to...
Historically they had access to all those troop types. Unfortunately, there is no way in the game of modelling the fact that their access to these troops was limitted in certain important ways, and...
Well, it seems I've got a lot of gaming to do. Maybe I best take things chronologically. Thanks again for all the help.
Thanks, I'll check those out. I like things as immersive as possible so I'll plump for Morrowind. It's allways great to have an active modding community for a game, so that sounds very tempting too....
Though I've been gaming for ages now, I've almost exclusively stuck to RTS and FPS for some reason. Anyway, I've recently been loosing copious amounts of sleep over the Fallout games and it strikes...
Sorry to not reply quicker. Thanks for your answers, these are my stats, any ideas about the best and cheapest ways to upgrade (I'm looking to spend about £200/$400) with the aim of playing strategy...
I'm trying to upgrade my PC so that it can comfortably run Medeival 2. However, I have no idea what my computer's current system settings are. I've mislayed pretty much all the paper work I got with...
The only way to make sharp shooting possible with a musket was to increase the length of the barrel a great deal, and even then targets within effective range could be aquired down the sites. The...
Would Belisarius count as Medieval? If so, he gets my vote.
Here's a harder one. To what extend was gallic society fuedal in the final decades before its conquest by the germanic tribes, and to what extend did Roman fuedalism dictate the socio-political...
If anyone here has never enjoyed the work of Pastor Fred Phelps at www.godhatesamerica.com and www.godhatesfags.com then I heartily recomend it to them for hours of giggles.
I think you are assuming a competitive (and probably capitalistic) model of economics, and a welfare based model of politics. It is probably fair to say that Aristotle was a utilitarian who would not...
But this ideal is not something that can ever exist' as it is (as you admit) an unrealisable mental state. Ideals of happiness seem to me to be merely ficticious accounts of what a human being might...
Unless you suffer from certifiable stupidity, you should be able to sort out the facts from the propoganda in most station's reporting. Al-Jazeera is no exception to this rule, and since it has the...
