This was on Road to War's Historical play as the US. Japan managed to conquer China and India, so you can imagine how many units they can pump out. The CTDs kept happening as I was trying to push out of Korea into Manchuria. Tried various things like restarting with different load orders but...

Can we start a thread about the adopted words and expressions unique to Civ4? Been reading a lot of threads around here lately, and stuff like "2-pop whip" and "HinJewism" take me back to when I found this forum. Common Civ4 acronyms, contractions, and terms: Civics: HR - Hereditary Rule PS -...

Title says it all, really. Further details on the first pedestrian death caused by self-driving vehicles below: What are your opinions on self-driving vehicles? What precedents do you think this incident will create? What steps do our societies need to take to prevent such incidents? How...

Human is a lovely song. A shame I'll associate it forever with Bioware's incompetence.

I'm surprised there's no thread about this. Self-driving vehicles can't come soon enough. London attack: Four dead in Westminster terror attack

Is there any point to watching or analyzing them? It seems the only outcomes are getting spoiled or misled. Shouldn't works of media be judged after they are released?

What three (no more, no less) things would this brick-and-mortar establishment sell? For me it would be books, puppies, and smart clothing. Three lovely things I like I need to try out in person. Video games and electronics I'd rather buy online. I could have picked food products, but I'd...

As the title says. One of the things topping my list is a Nimitz-class supercarrier converted for use as my own personal yacht, which I can land my carrier-capable private jet on. If I can get an amphibious assault ship and the requisite personnel and equipment I just might have the capability...

I vote Central Asia or Oceania.

Under what circumstances does this actually work? Can it replace laws designed to do the same thing? It seems evident that the underlying culture must change first to make it possible. And there probably are essential services that should be legislated to be accessible to all. I suppose the...

What are your thoughts on decentralization? When is it a good thing? What powers should local bodies have?

A thread for this burgeoning region home to over 1.7 billion people. News on India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, and Maldives welcome. Anyway, some trouble on the Indo-Pakistani border.

Do you know the caveats that come with medical diagnostic and treatment procedures? What, in your opinion, could be considered as unnecessary medical care?

I have to say, I am really sick of hearing about ISIS and Ukraine. I mouse over headlines concerning them with eyes rolled upwards and lip curled in disgust. My question is simple: am I shirking some important duty by neglecting to keep myself informed on the latest events on these issues?

Can you work the hours you want or not? If not, do you see a way for it to be divisible? Would you want it to?

By insignificant I mean that you can throw away this amount on something frivolous more than once a week without having to worry about it (e.g. for me a soda once a week). What are examples of purchases would you do in such a manner?

Pick one. Yes, that's a gun pointed at your head. I'd pick weapons dealing. At least there I'd actually enjoy testing the merchandise.

That is formal (forget the baseball cap) while not being pretentious (not wearing a beret) at the same time? I have a round face if that helps.

Which ones (and Affinities) would look the best? Which ones would be the hardest to pull off?

The benefits of removing cars from cities are obvious, such as eliminating gridlock which frays people's nerves and causes needless pollution. I'd like to know what possible reasons there are for people to still need* cars and thus not rely 100% on public transport in urban areas. I wonder if...
