Leveler

Despite risking to derail the thread, ill add this on the point of racism discussed a few pages before: After studying undergraduate biochemistry for four years in Scotland I can tell you this ; racism and bigotry are the result of low intelligence, average education and a massive inferiority complex. If the people themselves are like that, then there is no hope for change by ANY political party that wants to be reelected.

There is nothing like the age of empires 2 gameplay, everything else is a cheap copy. You could try the cossacs/american conquest series but be warned, the AI is horrendous.

How well prepared were the Iraqi air defences against the american invasion. I have heard that both in desert storm 1 and 2 they were useless against the american airplanes.

New Zealand..... Have you seen those pictures in the photo thread?

It does look good and reminds me of C&C generals. I hope they dont turn it into an overly politically correct game ( I wonder who will have been invaded by the time they finish it ). By the way the Hind has more and larger flat surfaces, hence less faces.

Plato is the Goebbels of antiquity? Where did you get that sh*t? Evidently, Plato did not spread this story far and wide in the athenian crowds with the purpose of uniting them against a ''lesser'' race, nor was the greek mainland ever ruled by the kingdoms of crete and the aegean (although they were trading competitors). To add a bit more to your rants, the capitol of the ''minoan empire'' was in knossos (south of modern day Heraklion) in Crete. It is far more likely that the ancient catastrophe passed on as a legend in all the surviving kingdoms (egypt being one of them) and Plato being who he was passed on the story intact (errors or not) for the perspective reader to find and judge..

I just got Pacific fighters and have a question: what happened to torpedo bombing in quick missions ? (havent played campaign yet)

Wow ! another one, scratch 5000... I even read someone claiming Atlantis was all of south america. On a serious note, Atlantis most probably paraphrases the events that happened during 1200 BC in the island of Thera and Crete. Such a catastrophe would be impossible for survivors to forget.

I recently bought an athlon 64 with 1 gig of memory and a x800 graphics card. Now i get the following message with opf: out of reserved memory, change of code required. The game starts up fine and some of the single missions play smoothly, however in most of them, the game crashes and that message appears. Anyone knows how to solve it?

I wonder how powerful the 7.62 version will be And with its simple design, construction will be possible for anyone.

RTW will need some modding; as it is now it has several annoying features: The unit voices are rubbish. The phalanx is undermoddeled. Missile weapons are way overpowered Some numidian and egyptian units look ridiculous with their pharaoh hats and makeup. It seems the creators have finally gone commercial like everyone else....

Nikolai Tesla was a pioneering inventor who ''ushered in the era of electrical power''. How much truth is there in the claims he made later in his life about ''vacuum energy''?

14 years old eh? Well it is never too early to start building yourself. Start doing some energetic sport and at the same time go to the gym for weightlifting. DONT do any of those carb watching diets as you are still growing and you need everything you can get. Dont eat too many sweets or fat food, go out in the sun frequently, dont drink/smoke and always sleep early (before 1100). You may not see the six pack you expect but you will see definite improvement in your body and by the time you get 18 you will feel great and if you still want it, built the 6 pack you want... And DONT EVEN THINK about steroids in your age. To look lean and muscular you need to have no more than 8% body fat. There are calculators for that in the internet but I dont think they apply to your age. By the way, what is your height and weight?

Such progress! Did he do any sort of experimental therapy? This man had a lot to hope for, it is a huge shame that he died.

Can you play with any other faction except the romans? The battle has definitely improved with the transition to 3d but the game has lost some of its atmosphere from the previous total war. All I get now is repetitive music and stupid unit responces.

So Kogo the chimp is smarter ! If only Bush could learn the sign language we would know for sure. Reminds me of planet of the Apes

The statistical average for those tests is 100 and they get completely unreliable after 150 (odds of 1:100) and for people with different mentality and language. People with higher IQ than 170 are considered geniuses (1:1000000). I did High level Psychology in International baccalaureat at school with the intelligence option. There should be one person with IQ 70 for every person with IQ 130, think about it the next time you walk down the road. By the way there is a rumor that Bush has IQ 85. Is that true?

What he's establishing is a limited democracy' date=' much like Iraq had under Sadddam Hussein. I'm not saying he'll rig elections, but expect changes to laws, constitution allowed or not, strict changes in the democratic process, and loss of certain rights. Yeah, he's doing it for himself.[/quote'] I was thinking along the lines of the knee jerk response in US after 9/11. Putin is setting the stage for the acquisition of former soviet states. However I know that despite the improvements the last years, their economy is struggling and the condition of the military is miserable. So I was wondering if we are going to see some changes in the forseeable future.

He obviously meant the creation of military units from eastern european people to fight alongside the Wehrmacht. Back to the topic, all I have ever owned is an airgun for plinking and target practice (although I have fired a Manlicher in my grandpas village in Crete). I feel safe enough either in my home or walking alone in the street. The only ones who advocate the spread of guns are enthusiasts, nobody else wants them unrestrained so dont act as if we need them. And dont think for a minute that because you have a big gun, your friend/neighbour/policeman/head of state will respect your opinion more.

So what is the general consensus? Is he doing it for himself and his party or does he have other aims as well? How is Russia doing at this moment economically and militarily?

I have never seen a b52 engine dissasembled but if you compare the first pictures (use the people as scale) the blobs are less than half the size of the engine on the model. We also do not know how efficient these engines are and how much thrust they produce and it sounds from the description that the aircraft stalled in a turn. By the way I have seen somebody crashing his remote airplane in the same way. He brought it in a foodball field closeby to spite all the kids in the neighbourhood , set it down really slowly and before the airplane had risen 3 meters turned it to the right. It slipped of the air sideways and smashed down. He took the pieces home in a plastic bag

For me it is Deus ex and Vietcong. Deus ex is the only game I enjoyed as much the second time I finished it and Vietcong has great firefights.

The eight blobs in the first picture are the engines? They look way too small for such a big aircraft.

this is a problem with ati cards, ither turn off af, or one of the settings in video settings cant rember which one, something to do with effects :/. Anything more specific to fix that?

I had the same problem with tex and downloaded the newest ati drivers and patch for the game. Now it gets stuck in the graphics card test screen (infinite loop or something...). On top of that now I cannot modify my desktop display settings, (no responce when I select them) and I cannot get rid of the problem when I roll back the drivers. What the hell is going on?
