Download the Balancemod V1.03 (http://www.captainkwok.net/balancemod.php) and SEV patch V1.25 (http://www.spaceempires.net/home/downloads-cat-36.html).

Also, SE5 is on the Play by Web options now.....Go text based when you go there.

Sorry, I was stunned that you only just got it.

Its a good thing to know that at least one person actually bought the game and didn't acquire it via a BT site.

I was waiting until it was reasonably bugfixed. Didn't want to end up hating it due to too many bugs. (Threw the demo out on the same day I got it.)

I'm sorry to hear about your loss Atrocities

That really sucks.

However, the real reason they have warning labels, etc on such mundane things as toasters is because A) the companies that make those items are too afraid of being sued, which unfortunately is a legitimate concern in today's world of "I was an idiot so I'll sue you...and probably win", and B) even if people didn't seriously injure themselves (which is a definite possibility, considering just how stupid people can be), there will still be medical expenses when people *are* stupid, and that will cost society as a whole a lot more than a warning label

The real problem is that idiots and morons won't/can't read warning labels. What sort of label will work with someone that has the brain power to think that lifting an operating lawn mower to trim a hedge is a good idea. Two morons + one operating lawn mower = 16 missing fingers. Of course they won their case. This sort of silliness isn't going to end soon since lawyers make the laws in Congress and they make a lot of money "protecting" idiots and morons. Make a product idiot-proof and they'll simply make a better idiot.

Atrocities · #9 February 14th, 2007, 08:26 PM

That is a good point Beck. If the label cannot be read, ie its not in Spanish or Russian, can the companies then be sued because they failed to warn people in their own language not to try and dry their hair in the shower while taking a shower?

On a side note, it won't be long before some arsehole tries to sue a game company because their kid enacted or tried something at home that they saw on a video game. They will blame the game for the act of their child instead of taking responsibility for the act themselves. After all its better to leave your kids alone to play games, watch tv, and listen to rap, that way when they do something bad based upon those exposures, they can sue. Oh of course its never their fault for leaving their kids unattended, for not turning off the TV, or taking away the cellphone, the Xbox, or insisting on moral behavior and self respect. Oh no, its never the parents fault for what their kids do, its always someone else who is to blame.
