If replaying all these games has taught me anything, its be fast and kill them quick. Often turtleing up means that the enemy gets an advantage over you. (i.e. rather than build up a defence to take on the same attack the AI always sends, I would rather destroy their money and factory production). Does mean that games that have a time limit (2 hours) gets done in 10 minutes.

Yeah, that's ideal, but that's not usually the way the Allies work. If you can find a defensive bonus crate, then IFV rushes make sense, but otherwise Rhinos and Lashers will tear the crap out of them. And the Allies don't get anything that can outrange a Psychic Tower until later in the game.

Tau and IG are the best. Eldar, bit weak for my taste, even IG could take them on relatively easily.

I really liked DoW's game engine, more so than the game itself. Runs very smooth on my new PC. I wish Spore's civilization phase could have been more like that, where you can actually see details close up, etc.

I have finally returned after a lengthy distraction lured me away from NESing.
I shall look around and find a small meaningless nation to play and hope my new schedule works out and I can devote more time to the NESes now. Any spots available that you would like taken?

There are many meaningless nations in my NES, but I need to update it first, so store away that tidbit somewhere in your mind for when I do get around to it.

Sorry, I wasn't listening...
I'm glad to hear you still plan on updating it. I was starting to worry about N3S III.
I need some new active people to join NDNES 2 and NevNES. If either interest you, please join. A lot of the players are either busy with updating or on vacation.

North King - if you ever get back on a regular schedule I very possibly might join as well.

Meh. I live yet.
For those of you out there that know more than one language, how exactly do you go about it? Do you figure out what you want to say in your native tongue, then switch it over to the desired one? Do you simple understand the 'concept' you want to say in more than one tongue? For example: Do you translate the word 'homme' into English (or whatever you naturally speak) or do you recognize the concept that lies underneath the word?
And despite all of your fawning over it, I hate German. Undeniably passionate hatred. And now I hate each one of you who ever talked about it favorably, along with the rest of you who fawned over it lovingly.

You should. There are places that need playing. But a regular schedule is unlikely for the time being.
I try to do the latter, though often I end up resorting to the former.

German is good if you want to yell, shout, give orders and generally be angry. I hate pretty much everything else about it. It's such a crude language, not very pleasant to listen to.
As for other languages...well English is now pretty much hardwired into my brain. I find myself thinking in it more then I do on my native language and often fail to remember words for things in it, while the English words just pops right up in my mind. Most disconcerting.

English is the best language for that exact reason.

I think in two languages, sometimes mixed in, sometimes at a time, though usually (and thankfully) separately. I generally think about things I read or intend to write in English in that language, and in Russian about things I read or intend to say or write in Russian. That said, I do tend to try and translate words, sentences and especially odd, mostly-language-exclusive turns of speech into another language, and it is most often from Russian into English. It is a somewhat masochistic hobby, truth be told. Concepts behind words are not difficult to understand - translating some words can be very hard regardless, for the lack of clear equivalents (and the fact that many Russians have once again taken up the national pastime of taking foreign words and transcribing them in Cyrillic with usually very ugly looking and generally irritating results ("franchayzing" comes to mind, but that's obviously far from the worst of it) is making things only more confusing and difficult). As for thoughts not directly connected to speech or text, these tend to be a multi-lingual jumble, as I already said.
The Kaiserreich mod (the one which Carmen is presently trying to NESify) comes with some 20s-30s revolutionary songs in different languages, including what is basically a German reading of Mayakovsky's "Left March" with orchestra (as well as some other shouty German songs). It works out pretty well because German is indeed made for shouting (Russian, by the same logic, seems to be made for swearing and whining, sadly; and maybe lecturing).
Has been that way for years now.
Well, obviously. That said, by all means feel free to point out the most urgent vacancies; I have many ideas, and I'm sure that I would be able to apply them to at least some of the countries you've got.
