    C3C v1.20 patch is out!!!

    If I were a betting man, I'd bet 1.20 is the end of official support for Conquests ...

    C3C v1.20 patch is out!!!

    I just did the logical thing - used the damn editor to put radio back in and return the tech tree to normal, returned the radar towers to radio, etc. Damnit! If it isn't broke don't "fix" it. Anybody notice any new SP bugs? If not, I'm keeping 1.20 just because it fixes that damn...

    C3C v1.20 patch is out!!!

    Good grief, can't they redraw the damn the arrows right and remove radio properly? My mods are more professional than this.

    Liberals will finally get a voice in the media!

    It's not that NPR is liberal, its just that they do indepth interviews and reporting. Thus no soundbites. Such an arrangement puts conservatives at a disadvantage. And conservatives tend not to listen to NPR because they lack an attention span. The latter is also the reason why the print...

    CIV series - whats not "fun"

    Agreed. Kind of like real life (frustrating that is). :lol: I thought this was a vast improvement over earlier versions of the game. I always remember those games where I had to struggle without iron for awhile.

    What Gov do you civer's think is better for war?

    If you're using Communism right, you should be popping out 30 tanks, 10 infantry, and 20 bombers every two turns thanks to communal corruption. You'll be losing a lot of those, so the high unit limit of fascism is not as important. Moreover, xenophobia in fascism is a killer. You really...

    CIV series - whats not "fun"

    Good. The pollution whack-a-mole needs to go. Along with the herd of workers. Although I do want to see some need to be green in the game. Causus Belli requirements would also be cool. Have the UN doing something would also be cool. Perhaps it ratchets up those causus belli requirements?

    Is Buddhism a religion?

    Yes, Buddhism is a religion. And a philosophy. And a set of practices. 'Buddhism' covers a broader range of beliefs than Christianity, however. Some Buddhists really just have an almost Western set of religious practices around Buddha and a pantheon of gods and spirits that you barter...

    To Draft Or Not To Draft...

    I vote no conscription. Simple reason - conscription allows for some very unpopular uses of the military. When people see a Vietnam going on, they simply won't join. All-volunteer is a great check on misuse of the military. Heck, even if the country is under attack no conscription is...

    Leader of Hamas reported dead after Israeli raid

    So sue me. Once you bring the twentieth century personification of evil into an argument - unless you are talking about mass-exterminations and genocide - you end rational argument. The suicide bombers aren't Hitler and neither are Sharon or the IDF.

    Leader of Hamas reported dead after Israeli raid

    And with the introduction of Hitler into the argument, I hereby pronounce this thread finished!

    Punks: Bush's new base?

    Grunge is grunge ... But whatever, Nirvana just didn't sound like punk. Punk is usually screaming and energetic - almost as though every song is an anthem. Nirvana was too mellow for what punk sounds like. This is of course a good thing. Not everything should be punk, and Nirvana was good...

    Leader of Hamas reported dead after Israeli raid

    :rolleyes: So if the police open fire into a bank with machine guns in order to halt the robbery and in the process kill all of the hapless customers then it is the robbers' fault for robbing a bank with customers? The police have no responsibility to use reasonable means to apprehend the...
