  1. First, of all the various versions of Nogova that I have, this is the best. Perfect countryside, with some very nice, but not overdone, urban areas. I especially like how the roads meander a lot more than roads on other OFP islands. Now, a few suggestions for the eastern part of the island:

    1. Please make the northeast area of the island more heavily forested than it was in the original Nogova. The northeast's hilly terrain has a very wild feel to it, and it deserves thicker forests to make it more natural feeling. Plus, extra forests give campaign makers somewhere to put lots of resistance camps.

    2. Perhaps you could remove Lipany and add a seaport and/or factory complex in its place.

    3. Get rid of the town south of Lipany (St. Sedlo, I think), and replace it with a small military base and dock (For coastal patrol and military supply ships). The latest MAP military buildings would probably be the best objects for this small base.

    Excellent job so far. smile_o.gif


  2. Though it's not set in medieval times, I'll have to suggest Rome: Total War. It's (IMO) a good mix of turn-based strategy and RTS-style battles. And those RTS-style battles can have hundreds, if not thousands, more soldiers than in an AoE battle. To put it simply, each army can have 20 units (A unit usually consists of ~80 soldiers), and you can bring multiple armies into one battle biggrin_o.gif .

    Edit1: And it has great siege warfare (Pic)


  3. Quote[/b] ]most people tend to forget, this is why May 10 is called "the bloodiest day in OFP history" (as someone's signature on the OFPEC Forum rightfully has it)

    0730 Hours, May 10: A date and time that will live in mission-making infamy.

    Also, any mission that takes place at this time (And with medium weather and no fog) is treading on Crap Mishun territory wink_o.gif .

  4. Quote[/b] ]It'll eventually end up a global weapon that any army (or terrorist faction, or whatever) can buy.

    At which point someone will have developed a much more effective weapon to counter these weapons (Like frickin' sharks with frickin' laser beams biggrin_o.gif ).


  5. Quote[/b] ]Well I think we have been proved right about the dangers of releasing modding tools to players.

    What are you talking about? How is having a large basket of quality addons a problem rock.gif ?

    Quote[/b] ]There is TOO much out there and that is why we have this chaos.

    "Too much"? So because you're easily confused, all the rest of us should be stuck with less for the same price?

    Edit - And if BIS released frequent patches with new units, then they'd inevitably start charging for their work. Something of the FDF Mod's quality and size could be quite reasonably sold at a price of $30.

    Edit2 - I have ~6GB of good user-made mods and addons. At $30 per GB (Seems like a good price for that much data) I have $180 of addons and mods. Because these were free addons, I paid a total of $90 for OFP (OFP: Gold Edition + Resistance). If BIS had made all of the addons that are currently keeping me hooked to OFP, I'd have spent $270 on OFP. I like saving money, but if you want to pay for officially-approved patches then switch to VBS.


  6. Quote[/b] ]They also just passed health textbooks that say homosexuality is an aboration

    Homosexuality is an "aberration", at least when you think in terms of Darwin's Theory Of Evolution by Natural Selection. Think about it: The primary goal of an organism is to reproduce itself. Therefore, if a subset of a species has no interest in reproduction, then that subset is an aberration. It's certainly not a mutation (Or chemical imbalance, shrunken gland, whatever the theory is now) that is going to positively affect the subset's ability to propagate itself.

    Quote[/b] ]Denoir i will start a topic on this later maybe here? If the mods ok it and then we can discuss this since this sint the right thread and i dont wanna get placebo angry

    You may as well name the new thread "Revenge Of The Flamer: Hurlothrumbo Strikes Back" tounge_o.gifcrazy_o.gif .


  7. Quote[/b] ]Sorry, nothing in the mathematical laws of probabilities can lead in such a conclusion that an infinite amount of monkeys using typewriters WILL produce the complete work of shakespeare.

    In a room with an infinite number of monkeys, an infinite number will first press "Shift + t", and after that an infinite amount of the original infinite amount will press "h", and then an infinite amount of the resulting infinite amount of the original infinite amount will press "o", and so on until the complete works of Shakespeare are reproduced (Actually, the complete works of Shakespeare would be reproduced an infinite number of times tounge_o.gif ).

    Quote[/b] ] a day supposed to remember the veterans from the WW2.

    World War I, not World War II. That's why it was originally called Armistice Day wink_o.gif .

    Some parents might also object to their little kid seeing a depiction of a soldier with his intestines pouring out of his gut.


  8. Quote[/b] ]In Texas science is denied where biologist are told to teach Dawinism as theory when every qualified biologist knows it is fact.

    OK, this statement just shows that you've forgotten the basics from your high school science courses. Nothing in science is a "fact". Even if a scientist's idea is supported by a great deal of scientific evidence, his idea still remains a theory. At the current moment, Darwin's Theory Of Evolution simply has not been contradicted, which is the key point. It's not so much proven (Little to nothing in science can be truely proven), as it is the best explanation for the data that we possess. Darwin's theory should be taught as a theory because it is exactly that: A theory.

    Quote[/b] ] i kinda tend towards common sense here so forgive me but how do you think human being or any living organism evolved a eye? How did something knew that in order to see it would need this this thing? WHEN THE CONCEPT of seeing is UNKNOWN to the origin?

    I would definitely like to believe in evolution as a fact but there are various basic facts which stop me from doing so.

    Presumably because a creature with a mutation that allowed it to discern patterns in light would have faired better (Over time) than other, blind creatures.


  9. Quote[/b] ]what is the argument for banning a film with bad "words" in it on tv?

    There is little to no religion-based argument, except against using "Goddamn" or "Jesus" as curses. Many of the rest of the complaints, odd as walker may find it, aren't based on bible-thumping. They're based on a belief that exposing young children to excessive amounts of stuff of the adult world is not good for children.

    Quote[/b] ]Given the will to commit violence because they cannot get their own way in a civil society; the bombing of hospitals and murder of nurses and doctors and of course Timothy McVeigh's bombing of the Oklahoma City federal building, they become just like Al Qaida.

    Oh, please. Any time that some nut actually does something violent against abortion, he gets roundly condemned by virtually every religious sect in America. You shouldn't be comparing it to Al Qaida's actions, because they got open celebrations in the streets after 9/11, and all that an abortion-clinic bomber gets is universal condemnation from pretty much every religious person in America.

    And McVeigh was a violent anarchist who blew up a government-related building, not a religious nut who blew up an abortion clinic. Also, I would think the fact that he was executed would show that his actions weren't approved of...


  10. Quote[/b] ]Check map coordinates Ce33, you´ll find somekind of an answer why there´s ruines everywhere.

    That's one helluva graveyard wow_o.gif .

    I like the large castle ruins on the west side of the island (The new area biggrin_o.gif ). If only the OFP AI could handle CQB, what a fun area that would be to play in. Right now, I use it as a bombing range tounge_o.gif .


  11. Excellent work as usual. The elevated roads are a brilliant idea, they definitely add a new twist to combat in towns. smile_o.gif

    Quote[/b] ]is i the only one to get a 'model special' error on all units exept the desert east and west units?

    i downloaded from ofp.info (mirror 1)

    like what i have seen though

    I assume you have a working version of FDF 1.3?
