    Fascist Britain? V for Vendetta

    +1 to aelf. I have been stuck been in the middle of every protest in Parliament Square for the last 3 years, from student protests and EMA smashing up Westminster Abbey and draping a Vampire Weekend poster over Nelson Mandela to my aunt and uncle, both professional doctors, marching in a group...

    The most progressive country in the world

    That's why I qualified it - by population outright there are a lot of white guys. However, in relation to the grades they get they are generally underrepresented - that's positive discrimination in action. Having also been witness to South Africa's BEE program, it's a very slippery slope...

    Featured Game 3 Pre-Discussion: Darius

    Well my 9 turns involved a CS disbanding my first settler by capping a barb that had taken it after I rolled two awful hits and couldn't kill and retake it myself, plus a war dec and rush. :gripe: I wouldn't really want the turns back tbh. I'll try a few games on each autosave setting and see if...

    Top 5 best-sounding world and semi-world languages

    I bet a load of ppl considered it but thought it would be too cheesya joke choice. I chose the least popular option so far unsighted, not sure if that still makes me indie or what ^_^:rolleyes:

    The most progressive country in the world

    I'll assume your first sentence is a typo as you shoot straight through it yourself. ^_^ Also IQ is an extremely narrow pattern and problem solving based measure of 'intelligence'. Pure computative mathematicians can't observe its patterns easily and aural and emotively creative people don't get...

    Has anyone of you emigrated?

    South Africa, via Holland to UK. Some regrets, and I do miss the weather, but I go back often enough not to still want to return. I'd definitely choose UK as a home any day, but I've been SO rediculously lucky I'm not a great yardstick.

    The most progressive country in the world

    Is that not the point of exams themselves - yes, IQ is not the denominator or scale but it seems unreasonable you would expect every British 16 or 18 year old to have identical intelligence. I fully understand why you'd give extra time to someone with dyslexia etc. but not for simply not being...

    Top 5 best-sounding world and semi-world languages

    1. French Flaubert and Verlaine wins it for France outright. 2. English Too much literature and beauty and development to ignore from Carol Ann Duffy to Chaucer, but very easily corruptable - there's no word for brostep in French ^_^'' 3. Afrikaans - I'm biased being an expat myself, but I...

    @Txure, fair enough, I will post about all my various mistakes once I've played on a bit. Noted on the autosaves, but I'm running 3.2 GB RAM (meh) and a min spec GPU (derp) so that would be interesting. Policy on 3 turn autosaves? (Go Man U vs Galati)

    No worries. Timescale for a new version? ^_^ Do you know if it'll be the same map or just same settings, as in either is the DLC requirement removable in WorldBuilder or can you export this map for us? :thanx:for coming bk!

    General Ideas for Civ 5

    I think that it's plausible to have social policies with downsides which could include war weariness (say, increased :c5angry: per citizen during war when Freedom is enabled) but that would be shockingly difficult to balance given Thal's policy on social policies or some use for many, great use...

    Couple of minor things

    This is after a cache and mod data clear. - Double notifications for all new citizens + border expansions. Just a little annoying and not gameplay changing at all. - +4 health from promotions = +8 in real terms. The little green no. is still 4, but increases to 8, I'm guessing because of the...

    Kk, I wasn't really up for paying 20 odd quid for DLC I wasn't planning on buying. Thal's got his timetable to keep, so yeah, I guess he'll sort it soon enough. It is possible to save the map separately to the game, so he should be able to duplicate the scenario?

    Looks like Thal forgot to disable the DLC when he built the scenario. Is that something that can be rectified in WorldBuilder etc. or have we got a dud GotVEM?
