Re: NAP Breach?

This statement reminds me of my real life experiences with "standard" contracts. To me, "standard" is a warning sign that I'd better read it even more closely than usual.

In all of my experience with 4X games, I've never found a scenario that was as interesting to play as the standard buildup from a single starting position.

Re: Well, I\'m through with the game

The scales only seem random to our mere mortal intellects. The gods' aspects make perfect sense in the light of their ineffible divine wisdom.

Or maybe it's just that the gods must be crazy...

Re: Hydra Tamer

If you script any unit to guard commander, the unit will just walk towards the commander and not attack anything until the enemy comes to them.

Re: Why do people hate on Ulm?

OT: I have never understood the concept of reading in the bath. I wouldn't take a disposable newspaper anywhere near water. Risking getting a book wet is unthinkable.

Re: Bug thread

Body Ethereal doesn't automatically target the caster; I stopped trying to script it as a self-buff after I realized that.
