Shapeshifter?? For roleplaying reasons I presume? Genlock Emissaries are my most hated enemy.
I downloaded an expanded shapeshifting mod that actually makes it useful. There's about 20 or so total forms now, which you can either unlock for 'free' by killing a certain number of certain kinds of enemies or by traditional investment. Slaying that pack of wolves just unlocked the werewolf form for me. And kinda for rp purposes. But mainly just to see how good the shapeshifting turns out. I can't wait to unlock the grand oak form.
And if emissaries are giving you trouble, mana clash fixes them. Hard core. Definitely worth the investment, plus you get spell might along the way, which is also excellent.
And by "hard core" I mean one-shotted. Every time.
What game is that??
A few pictures from a couple of play-tests on some maps I created for The Battle For Wesnoth:

8 player map, four teams, in the end it was me(UK) and my AI buddy(GER) against the last team of the same makeup, which ended in some epic battles which we won in the end, not least due to my huge fleet of typhoon fighter-bombers which were very, very helpful.

CR
Me in my second level of Populous 3: The Beginning, Undiscovered Worlds expansion. I'm very much a slow attacker, especially when I'm just facing another tribe, instead of several. As such, I began building a huge village, using the terramorphing spells I had in this level to build a huge secure plateau (As the AI was attacking with ships and disembarking) in this level and hit the game's population limit (Expansion limit is 199 + Shaman) fairly soon while managing to contain the AI's attacks easily. After that, I trained my entire brave into Priests, Warriors and Firewarriors and overran the enemy very easily.
My village in World Mode
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop1.jpg
Two shots of my village in the lower levels. I have a huge patrol network to kill the AI when it tried to disembark in my village
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop2.jpg
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop3.jpg
Shots of my village's Plateau the only way in was through a ramp guarded by 7 towers filled with Firewarriors and Priests. Warriors were also patrolling there.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop13.jpg
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop15.jpg
The said towers
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop14.jpg
After I trained everyone, I put all 199 of them in Guard Shaman mode, where they run in circle with the shaman inside, making a Ring of Death, as I usually call it.
Here three enemy warriors try to take on the 199-followers, 78 warriors and 81 firewarriors inside the Ring of Death.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop4.jpg
My shaman had hit a depression in the mountainside she was travelling, and it took her a few seconds before she came back to a leveled ground. Those who were travelling in the Ring of Death behind here were here struggling to get back into position.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop5.jpg
I put all my followers on idle in that mountain as I went with my Shaman to cast the Volcano Spell and several Lightning spells to disrupt the defences to my attack. The volcano spell is the most destructive spell of the entire game.
Here the ground begins morphing into a volcano shape, destroying any buildings that were built on that previously level ground. I had killed the enemy shaman with a Lightining Spell btw.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop6.jpg
And beginning spilling out lava killing everyone caught in it and setting the surrounding buildings on fire, while at the same time making the terrain unavailable for construction.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop7.jpg
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop8.jpg
Meanwhile my followers used the idle time to chat and catch-up with the daily village news and rumors before I summoned them for the final attack.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop9.jpg
Having the volcano done away with part of the enemy village, I created a land connection to permit for my followers to flood and overwhelm the enemy village with their numbers, killing and destroying everything in sight.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop10.jpg
Thus they broke through and quickly killed the remaining enemy followers while I took care of the revived enemy shaman. Here they climb to the last remaining non-damaged enemy huts.
https://i642.photobucket.com/albums/uu150/Joltie/Pop11.jpg
Then it was victory!

So No Mercy was officially ported to L4D2 and I played it for the first time last night. And lucky me, on the finale, I get a charger first thing (our team was getting creamed, but it was fun). Alas, the devs got soft and put railings around most of the top of the roof where the ladder leads, so no easy death charges.
But I spied one small angle that I could attack from - which led to this:
https://img294.imageshack.us/img294/6541/nomercycharge1.jpg
Actually, it led to this - a double kill, since I knocked one guy off the roof after I grabbed the first guy:

After that we killed the others quickly and came back to win the whole match.

A pic from a recent Sins of a Solar Empire- Diplomacy game. Im on a huge map with 11 stars and 99 planets. It’s a 4v4 match, 2 TEC (one of them is me) 2 Vasari (my allies) and 4 Advent. Im trying to RP Mass Effect by saying the TEC is the Alliance, the Vasari are the Council races, and the Advent are the Geth. Fun all around! Im using the Distant Stars mod with Dynamic Movement.
Here it shows me defeating (barely) some Advent ships, including 3 Advent capital ships. If it wasn’t for my Kodiaks though I would have been toast.
After this battle though, I send a scout to the neighboring planet and I find an Advent starbase, lots of homing mines, and many heavy cruisers and capital ships. So right now Im building up my fleet to attack. Right now I have 30 Kodiak cruisers, 3 Kol battleships, 2 Sova carriers, 1 Marza dreadnought, 2 Dunov battlecruisers and one Akkan battlecruiser. Not to mention 10 LRM frigates, and 6 repair ships.
Do you think its enough to take down the enemy fleet + the starbase? I still haven’t made the torpedo cruisers that are meant to destroy the starbase, but I’ll make those soon.

I've been getting so excited about Divine Wind, I decided to hop back into a game of EU3.
Starting in 1399 as Austria, for some reason I started out with 33.3% inflation.
I read that setting AI Aggresiveness to low enourages them to play safe, so you don't see the huge empires then collapsing empires almost straight away. So far - its working:
https://img834.imageshack.us/img834/310/eu3maphab1460611.png
France inherited Castille a long time ago, they are about 4 years off getting cores on the whole thing.
England is taking its sweet time. Its work has been mostly on Brittany, going back and forth on how much they control.
No country has imploded so far. Tuetonic order is strong, Lithuania is doing ok.
Hungary was doing great, until a trifecta of wars at the same time. Lithuania and its allies, me and my allies and Croatia rebelling.
As for me: I'm playing a lot less aggressive than I usually do (maybe thats because all the infamy costs are normal...)
I claimed the thrones of Bavaria and Ferrera so far, inherited them. Waiting to inheret naples.
Saslzberg, Pisa and Urbino are my vassals, those 4 and Lithuania are my allies.

Austrian Empire is doing well. Uncontestedly the empire's leading nation. France in the west, the Ottomans and Lithuania to the east are the only real rivals. England still slowly taking the isles.
Novogorod has collapsed, now there is a battle for power up there.
Austria leads Personal Unions with: Hungary, Poland and Sicily. It inheretedd Bohemia and Naples.
Client states include Pommerania, The Palatianate, Pisa and Urbino.

In its attempts to retake provinces it had gained cores on, it underestimated how big the problem would get.

Over the last 20 years, colonisation has begun. I'm really pleased with the low aggressiveness AI. I've never seen france colonise like this (NA, SA and a chunk of India) GB and Portugal doing it as well. That part of brazil and a few islands are mine, because I was bored.
I still have not inhereted Sicily, Poland or Hungary, though I do now have the Pope as my vassal.
Here is a pic summarising how bad it looks.
https://img819.imageshack.us/img819/4844/warzd.jpg
France and the Ottomans together have 100k more standing troops than me (france alone has 40k) I do have my subject nations, but there is only so much that Urbino, Pisa, The Papal State, and my other kingdoms, Poland, Hungary, Sicily and Prussia can do.
We are against: Morocco, The Ottoman Empire, France, Hesse, Brandenburg, Lorraine and maybe a few others.
I'll pick it up in a few hours and see how I go.

Austria actually do exist though, the red dot between Africa and S.America. Rebels took over the island and I couldn't be bothered to send troops all the way there, so I let them take it.
Hungary existed as well about a year ago, I force a country to release them so I could annex them (released their capital, which I had a core on)
So at one point, the free nations of Hungary, Austria and Austria-Hungary existed at the same time. :laugh4:

1640. Not much has changed in the last 35 years, stupid infamy...
I took most of the border provinces from France, removed the ugly little countries that I had envolped and just finished a decently sized war against Sweden, Muscowy and Ukraine. Only got 3 provinces out of it. Problem now is, I only have cores on two places outside my borders. Infamy hurts.
Starting to see a couple Irish countries colonising, as well as the one that replaced Brittany (Breziah? or something)
The british isles are a mess, England and GB, scotland and many minors. All non-colonial provinces are either captured by revolutionaries, or in the case of the two irish ones, by Mide.

Victoria and Eu3 are very different games.
Eu3 took me about 15-20 hours to learn completely by myself, spending most of the time picking some of the hardest nations out of stubbornness. Vicky is a whole different beast, one that is too micromanagement orientated for me.
With Divine Wind coming, if you have the money (Complete + HTTT + Divine Wind) its a good set, and i've found that Multiplayer is the best way to learn (within a few hours I had some buddies of mine that havent played strategy games at all, playing quite well, doing better than me in a lot of ways) and I'm always willing to multiplayer Eu3. :tongue:

Assuming you're referring to Vicky 1, both are excellent games. Haven't taken a crack at 2, but my general policy would be to wait on Paradox games- they tend to be a tad rough at the start, but they're usually very good at patching, updating, and generally improving the game. It *does* take time to learn the ropes, I will say, but it just feels so good when you can create improbable empires. With EUIII, I don't feel like its as imposing to try and go conquer excessively. Even creating a great empire, it sometimes just feels... idk, empty. With Vicky, you(or I, anyways), feel immense pride when you create a resurgent Persian Empire in the midst of European colonialism, or create a grand Texan Republic that spans the Atlantic to the Pacific, or rebuild China into the leader of the world.
You know, sorta like this(mainly just to keep screenshots in the screenshot thread):

I've been learning Vicky 2 for the last few days.
Best way I've found to summarise it, compared to Eu3:
Imagine if you took everything in Eu3 and made it harder and more realistic. Eu3 you just conquer, theres 'tech levels' and 'economy'. You can make huge armies and go win basically.
Vicky 2 is hard. I did my learning game, currently going as Parma (starts off with one province) After about 20 years I annexed Modena, trying to unite the Region I'm in. Sitting at Rank #27 (rank actually means something now)
Just recently got people working in my factories, about 2k in total. Turning a nice profit with ~55% taxes on all groups ($12 a day) so I could probably lower it.
Just to give those who dont know an idea of the interface:

Things are going ok, holding, holding, then as I wipe out about 80 thousand men, its going well. I start to siege the netherlands, while still fighting Bavaria and Wuttemburg.
I'm on top. The Netherlands has nothing, Bavaria has been crushed, Wuttemburg sieged out.
Great Britain intervenes.
France intervenes.

Sounds like france and england decided to nip you in the bud before you became too powerful. It happens, especially when your infamy is above 25, thebest way to lower it is to release states as vassals, that way you get some heat off you and a new partner in wars. It's especially good for prussia as you automatically reabsorb them when you for Germany. Next time I would advise only warring when GB & France are fightinng colonial wars so they are allready occupied.

Thats the problem, GB actually dishonoured the alliance with Austria at the start of the war. Then they both come in. My infamy was 0. :laugh4:

Is it a wise move to get Vicky 1 without playing EU3?
It doesnt realy matter. While vicky 2 is based off the same engine as EU3 vicky 1 is a completely different beast, compared to the first one victoria 2 is practically dumbed down.

I would get Vicky 2 but my computer cant run it, nor can it run EU3, so Vicky 1 seems like my only choice. :shame:

Online game with my friend. He is the HRE, and I am France.
Started about two months ago. I was Burgundy, he was Austria. We ate france, and then we slowly ate the rest of the world. I didnt care about colonies until I realized he was twice as powerful as I, and I have been narrowing the gap. Now he only tops me by about a third.
Fun Facts: Only the Ottomans and France have Black Sea access
due to the new patch and the fact that I keep frogetting to fix the file, everyone can colonize anything.
HRE is in Japan
Order of Military Might: France, Ottomans, Spain, HRE
Several provinces my friend owns have been renamed as personal insults to me. Venice is trying to get me to perform a fairly lewd act.

My best game of World of Tanks. I was in a M4A3E8 Sherman. I got lucky to survive a Jagdtiger, and a hit from a stug3 almost took out my tracks while i was trying to circle around the jagdtiger. In the end my 76 tore through the rear of the jagd like it was nothing and I moved on but unfortunately it was my last kill.

I took on Austria in 2 more wars. Smashed them.
They've overtaken me in the greatpower standings though, I'm down to fifth, they have mass industrialised. About 300-400 in front of me in score.
First war is to assert my domination over the german people. I then expand the war to take Tirol.
5 Years later, I declare war again and take Venice, giving me a seaport to the south.
Typical result of a battle. Shows how far advanced the German Military is.

End result, 660+ killed. My character stood at the ladder, swinging and swinging. I believe I got around 150 kills alone. Chop, chop, chop.

Inhereting Syria and the Mamluks was nice, cores on all of it. Going to go around the arabian penisula, inheret all of them, and Morocco. Then vassalise, no more territory. (Same culture = get cores on inheret)
What the Dickens is going on in Iberia? o_O
Aragon and Portugal each took a big bite out of Castille, and Granada seized the opportunity to grab a province or two for itself. Then Morocco got a foothold in Galacia (sp?) and then took a lot of portugal's territory. Castille had a brief resurgence, taking back it's land from Aragon, but then Morocco took all it's northern territories. I think it is somehow related to me screwing up as France.

The unthinkable happened.
On the 1st of Jan, 1645, the Ottoman Empire and its vassals declared war on the British Empire.
For the years leading up to the war, the Ottomans stealthily moved troops from Asia Minor into the Aztec and Iberian vassals, preparing for a stealth attack. Troops were also landed in modern day belgium. The invading force by the ottomans alone was around double of the entire British army.
365 days later, on the 1st of Jan, 1646, a peace was signed.

Just a small bit of the insanity of The Sims Medieval:

What're your thoughts on Sims: Medieval, Kekvit?
I'm of two minds on the subject and completely torn.
Pros:
Having a real, clear goal is a refreshing change.
Only need to manage two needs. The rest are intigrated as optional activities to gain Focus.
Elves.
Each Hero actually feels like a unique profession, unlike Sims 3 which felt exactly the same no matter what career you had.
Replaying a kingdom with Sims that have different traits can lead to different experiences.
Whale Ate My Parents.
The ability to evolve a crippling Fatal Flaw into a Legendary Trait in specific quests.
Cons:
CAS is more (to coin a Bioware phrase) "streamlined." Accessories, make-up, and mix-and-match clothes are gone.
When you complete one kingdom, you've completed them all. Only the overall kingdom goal is different.
Gluttany. AVOID THIS FLAW.
Daily Responsibilities gets to be a hassle when playing quests with more than one active Hero. ESPECIALLY if one (or both) of those Sims have the Diligent trait.
So while Sims Medieval is a very good game, it suffers from some glaring flaws. Never the less, I've been playing it constently since I bought it.

I agree with pretty much all of those, especially the one about daily responsibilities. When controlling one sim they're fun, a way to establish that you actually have things to do in your career. With two or more sims? God. Help you. Micro hell.
I was also disappointed that I couldn't figure out a way to play my sims without first being on a quest. I had to accept a quest then I could go to the town level, otherwise I was stuck at Kingdom. I don't know if there is a way, but it really hurt the experience. Sometimes I just wanna hang around town laughing at people in the Stocks.

You should. I just got my rear end handed to me by Denmark, France, the Papal States, Poland and a bunch of others when the Pope excommunicated me. My only ally was the house of Castille but they, of course, were of no help. I even purposely killed off my faction leader in the hopes that the Pope would reconcile with me, but it didnt work.
On the battlefield they are also pretty impressive, compared to what AI usually is.

Its definitely has some good wow moments with opening volleys, or how inf react to cav as they crash through the ranks. The fighting feels more fluid, but without the sdk available for modding its getting rather boring. Hopefully with the next patch more life will be kicked into the game.

It gets much worse if you read the revan novel that sets the stage for the game.. just.. just don't read it. If you are a kotor fan it will make you very sad indeed.
That entire book summarized in one sentence.
Everyone you ever liked is dead and Revan is space jesus.
They figured fan of KOTOR would never play an MMO. Totally killed the series for me with that fecal matter.
To their credit some of the storylines in SWTOR are very good, far better than an mmo story ever had a right to be. But they burned down a lot of fan favorites in the process of establishing a canon to work from. Kreia and the Exile in specific got the worst of it, my two favorite characters. :no:

Minecraft time!
https://i.imgur.com/LcMxn.jpg
This is one of my quarries. The drill bit automatically moves from block to block, extracting everything until it hits lava or bedrock.
https://i.imgur.com/gHJWS.jpg
This is my quarry setup. My previous quarries are on the right. Currently, I'm running the quarry on a Geothermal Generator supplemented with my main power source using glass fibre optics. The stuff that comes out of the quarry gets pumped out through the pipes to...
https://i.imgur.com/FzdVE.png
...the diamond pipe section. It will filter any item I set, so that items I want to keep goes one way, and the junk stone and dirt go another.
https://i.imgur.com/mvszJ.jpg
These are where my ores are taken to. They are first deposited into the Rotary Macerator which grinds up the ore into dust. 1 ore = 2 dust, and 1 dust = 1 bar when smelted. When it's done grinding, the pipes move the dust into the Induction Furnace where they are properly smelted, and then taken to my chest. Also in the picture is my second diamond pipe. Anything that goes through the first filter pipe but cant be smelted is filtered through this pipe directly to my chest, so uranium and coal wont clog up the system.
https://i.imgur.com/Vk3Ln.png
The crap, on the other hand, gets send to my Energy Condenser. It converts anything into anything. Say I want to convert cobblestone into diamonds... it can do that. But it works off of the Equivalent Exchange EMC system of value. A cobblestone block is worth 1 EMC, whereas a single diamond is worth over 8000, so if I used only my quarry, it will take me ages to get a diamond. Thankfully, I have my Energy Collector (the block underneath my Glowstone) which converts light into free EMC. It's slow, but it helps supplement my diamond craze.
https://i.imgur.com/qYtXk.jpg
This is my sustainable power source. In the back there are my solar panels, which obviously work only in the day. They collect 1 EU/t each, which is pretty crummy, but it's free. It's supplemented by redstone engines hooked up to my power grid. Sustainable energy is pretty crappy, so what do I use to power my industry with?
https://i.imgur.com/6fVXu.png
This. My behemoth. My fully-encased nuclear reactor. Entombed in a layer of water and reinforced stone, it wont harm me (much) if it goes critical. On the left is my Mass Fabricator, which converts raw energy into UU-mass, which can make almost anything you want. It requires HEFTY amounts of power, which is why I stick it close to my reactor.
https://i.imgur.com/BUTTr.png
This is the inside of my nuclear reactor. This is classified as a Mark I, as there is absolutely no chance it will melt down since the uranium cells are draining quicker than the coolant is heating up. Only an idiot can mess it up. Sadly, it also means I'm not outputting as much power as I'd like. Risk vs Reward, and all that.

What is? And what game is that? Day-Z?
Sometimes in DayZ you will come across a corpse only it looks like someone who is standing upright and nothing is wrong. The only indication you'll get that something is a-miss is that they won't fall over no matter how many times you shoot them.
Speaking of DayZ. I must be crazy because I like playing this mod solo while most people swear the best fun is to be had in groups. I dig the paranoia it inspires in you when it's you against the world, undead and living alike. You're looking over your shoulder every two minutes, raiding towns quick and fast where every mistake could be your last...

I was on my way to Green Mountain, which for non-DayZ initiated is a military radio antennae/base in the south west of the map. It's a large installation surrounded by trees and is pretty much one of the map's main land marks... when I stumbled across a bike. It was just sitting there on the edge of the trees that surround Green Mountain. There's no way it spawned there naturally, who in the world would just... Oh crap.
Without thinking i stole the bike and took off. I biked through the map for hours. Forget killing zombies, forget rebuilding civilization, gotta go fast (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-LYB7iLZNWE) ~D

warz screens, 1680*1050 warning.
A couple screens of the group I roll with. We all wear red berets and mess people up. Got into one firefight that lasted a half hour at least and it was going before our group arrived. The games atmospheric and that's what i like about it. Firefights are quick intense battles when its a large groups fighting each other.
Getting ready to head out. We are just outside a safe zone here.

I have done one of the hardest things to accomplish in War Thunder: a carrier landing with an American plane.
There really are only two nations who have planes appropriate for carriers: the US and Japan. Japanese planes are considerably lighter than American planes and as such are much easier to land because they can do a slow glide for much further and not do a "dead stick" which is basically a massive dip, and if its not properly compensated for you will crash.
Anyhow, I finally managed to land after many attempts and many calculations:

It was a rough landing, and I damaged my propellers, but it got repaired so Im still happy.

I always felt that carrier landings with Jap planes were considerably harder than Americans. Maybe it was because i tended to only go for a landing with jap planes when i was already shot to heck and back. Or, it might be that light weight paper planes that they have it just always felt like something was going to go wrong when i landed. The only planes ive ever yet to land successfully though are the stukas. Don't know why but i always seem to tear the gears off when landing.

Did you use nukes or another player? How do you prevent retaliation?
Hooahguy

Yeah, there was a 50 turn war from about turn 400-450 that I ended by nuking Greek lands like 6 times. They couldnt retaliate because I had decimated their forces plus they didnt have any nukes. I ended up winning the game by reloading, using my large amount of cash to buy 5 nukes, then I nuked Greece a bunch of times to lower their population the turn before the game ended at turn 500, and I won by around 75 points. From then on I turned off time victories.
Also I just won another game as Rome via a diplomatic victory. Quite easy, actually- make a lot of money (I had around 6.5k), get the UN as fast as you can as well as the CIA wonder, then put your agents in city states, then bribe the city states one turn before the vote. Tough victory, and supposedly its one of the harder ones. Also I only declared war once, and got declared war one once, but that was before turn 350 and both enemy nations were wiped out so nobody cared when it came to vote.

Speaking of Civ games done on world maps, here's a map (Of Vicky 2, but representing the controlled area) I made throughout my playthrough of Civ 4 with the Giant Earth Mod, that has lasted for months. Game date is around 2000 AD. I already am in Future Tech 4 or so. Others are getting Mechanized Infantry and such.

Basically, got into an early conflict with Rome who wanted to expand to me, quickly conquered France, managed to outproduce and conquer Rome, and from there on, I went on a roll. Germany, Greece, Israel, shoved Egypt off Egypt, Babylonia, Carthage, Russia, Poland, Vikings, England off the Isles, Mongolia, Turkestan, Arabia and India off India. And soon it will be Korea's turn as I unite the Empire from coast to coast!
Also, the biggest city I ever managed to do in Civ 4. London with 42 civs. (And growing!)

Strange, I love flying helicopters in Arma3. Cant make a smooth landing to save my life (literally), but otherwise its a blast. From a technical standpoint, Arma3 runs a lot smoother than Arma2 for me. On the same system, Arma2 lagged terribly on high settings while in Arma3 I get no lag whatsoever.

03-17-2013, 16:54
Good to hear it runs better, I could never got ARMA 2 running smoothly. With graphics on high or low settings it ran pretty much the same for me, lagtastically.
That's a problem I encountered. The only thing that seriously affects my framerate is the view distance, at about 3km I can get as low as 16 fps when looking at forested areas. My conclusion is that it's CPU limited for me, since buying a new CPU is not an option though I can either reduce the view distance (would make me very sad and doesn't guarantee that much higher fps for some reason, but 20-24 or so), live with getting low fps in some situations or try overclocking my CPU (a bit risky and I'm not an expert).
For now I'll just wait and test it as is, it's only an alpha and fps may improve in future versions.
As for helicopter flying,didn't find it that hard with a joystick, my landings aren't all that smooth every time but I'd say they're okay and one can survive them. ~D

I wonder if it makes frogbeastegg Secura more interested in the series.
He looks gay, he's shaved all over the place and has female animations.
Which raises a good point in that developers like to portray characters as dirtier as a game progresses but it never includes hair growth.
Why is there such a discrimination against hair?

I don't quite know why but I find the screenshots a little disgusting.

Because the screenshots show a man designed to appeal to people who find him sexy, and not to the typical guy's fantasy about a powerful kick-ass he-man that the typical male gamer wants to be (Nathan Drake, Male Shepard, Batman, etc., etc., etc.). It's what we male gamers hardly ever see.

Brit planes have lead the kdr for close to 18 months now. Sure Russians finally get that fighter with a 40mm autocannon that absolutely rapes stuff.
Nipponese planes while being weak are the best dog fighters in the game. At least 3 of 4 players tend to turn fight Jap planes instead of BnZ. A skilled Niponjin pilot can beat anyone who goes against him.

Battle on Black Mountain between me, my four followers, and something like 2 dozen Fiends. Truly the biggest battle I've had so far; it's quite a bulletstorm when all of them are arrayed before you.
I had to reload my save a few times on this one, but then I recalled I had 10 Frag grenades on hand - things went quite smoothly after that...
Turns out the bones of a Grenadier Courier are worth more than two-dozen Fiends. :smoking:
so I took a risky gamble and went for AI research. If it works it can double your research output, industrial output, and income. It would have taken my likely victory and turned it into a sure victory. My empire was so wealthy it was only supposed to take one turn to research it....
So of course it went horribly wrong. :surrender2:

Basically, if you practise safe and good hygiene, you shouldn't catch Ebola and with its really high lethality rate, it should die out before succeeding. Due to many cultural and economic factors, West Africa is a really bad place for it to be.

The colours seem strange in that one. The shadow lines are a bit too clear, everything in light is too bright with oversaturated colours.
Reminds me of some games that let you choose between Euro-style and US-style colours where in the US version everything is brighter and oversaturated. ~;)

Seems to me, my current setup is realistically-dark when it should be, and realistically-bright when it should be. The screenshot was taken around noon game-time on a sunny day, so it appears appropriate.
Vanilla games in general, they're either overly-gray or overly-bloomy.
But of course, with the mods available one could create hundreds of distinct aesthetics. This is just one that I personally like.

P.S. These were made using Nvidia's new Shadowplay. And I got to say, it just works. I didn't notice any change in game play while running it, and you don't have to think about it, if something cool happens you just hit a button and it saves like the last 5 minutes of gameplay in a video file (you can of course also just hit a button to record and manually start and stop, but often in real time games you don't have that luxury so it's handy to have the ability to effectively go back in time to capture something)
