Civ II catapult stacks were the bizzomb, don't nobody be hatin'.

Worked in Civ4 amazingly well as well, but not as well as stacks of doom of artillery.

This is going to play havoc in multiplayer tho, as everyone likes to play in high speed, will be like let me shoot and shit man, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MOAR TIME MOAR TIME NOOOOOOOOO

Can't wait for civ V better make a thread for it to track/discuss all the changes.

But no more stacks will be such a refreshing change.

Completely agree.

The stack of DOOM was so gay.

That game nearly broke me, its AI re movement of units was beyond retarded.

Also multiplayer the most frustrating multiplayer game ever. Me and my very good mate nearly ended in a fist fight (well very heated words), before realising how fucking ridiclous it was and swearing to never play again.

Have to say tho using suicide gunpowder dudes to blow up their fort = hillerous

Did you have a moment creating the OMG Hax system, I had a small one looking at it.  There is two minor adjustments I would make however.  First a second monitor, and second a high class prostitute.

I have to laugh when you say that the Republican voter base are a bunch of uneducated people, voting purely on patriotism. Here's some facts for you:
http://elections.nytimes.com/2008/results/president/national-exit-polls.html


Nationwide Obama got about the same level of support from College Graduates as McCain, greater from people with PhD's, so as you said neither are really indicative.

What is, is where you come from.  I.e. a college graduate from New York much more likely to vote Democrat, and conversely one from Texas is more likely to vote Republican.

Also the reason allot of college voters vote Republican is generally for economic reasons, the social policy of the Repub party is purely aimed at getting central america (christian america's) vote, as the more liberal economic and social parts are not numerous enough in themselves.

Which is why the whole thing is really a pity.

Ok financial systems.

If he had not pushed the stimulus through it would of been a complete different ball game. The world would still be in a really bad recession, possibly a depression like the 1930s. If he had let some of the big banks fail like goldman sachs it would of triggered a derivatives nuke that would of dragged the economy down. In order to heal the economy you need time. This isn't something that will happen over night. The unemployment is high but usually that comes around later. Now you might not agree with his economic policies but he had very difficult decisions to make at the time to stop the economy going more south. The reason is ratings are down so much is because the common american does not get it. They want to see results instantaneously, and when you have cable news stations like fox news with their biased "news" shows bashing obama on every possible thing, it does not help. Also he did put alot of regulation on banks on how much financial risk they can take on mortgages and other tools they use but right now i cant be fucked finding any of it. But on the top of my head one very important that i can remember is the leverages that banks were allowed to take during the bush era was halved. Went from something like 1 to 30 to 1 to 15.


Argubly so, but he hasnt "fixed" the system.  The same stuff that happened to cause this mess, still happens.  All that has happened is the banks have been confirmed to be "to big to fail" removing the risk with how capitalism works.

Let me say it again, a depression, although horrible, would have been capitalism working.  Bizzare as that is it would have ensured those who fucked this whole thing up were gone, and therefore the risk is instated.

The alternative would have been to do what is done, i.e. bail out, but with strict conditions ensuring the same cant happen again.

Insted we get neither, and every American is now further indebt effectively.

In respect of Afganistan, yes he has acheived that, but it is also more instable than any point since the invasion and the Taliban control large areas.  Hardly glowing praise.

Dont get me wrong, I could not have done better, and neither could have Bush.  But there is a reason he is hurting in the polls and its deaper than a concentrated Fox attack.

What he promised in first 12 months:

  • G bay shut down
  • Removal of "don’t ask don’t tell" from the US military
  • Healthcare bill passed
  • Plan for going out of Iraq
  • Focus of Afghanistan
  • "Fix the US economy
  • Improve worldwide perception of US


What he has achieved

  • G Bay = changed trials to civilian, but apart from that its still going.  4 / 10
  • Don’t ask / Don’t tell = 0 / 10
  • Healthcare bill = this is bloody hard, to much $s involved and this nearly killed Clinton.  Not to mention Lieberman is a cunt.  However he lost control of the debate, allowed Fox to make stupid shit up and never came out in support of a particular bill (i.e. senate vs. house).  Basically amateur but a hard ask.  3/10
  • Plan for Iraq - going well, not sure he can really take credit but whatever - 6 /10
  • Afghanistan - planning a surge, going badly, but has got more international support.  Last successful person to "conquer" Afghanistan was Alexandra the great so difficulty pretty darn high.  6 / 10
  • Economy.  Fuck he got given the ultimate hospital pass.  Unemployment is higher than expected even with the massive stimulus and the US is now heavily in debt and to be honest he has actually managed to change anything cause he gave the money without conditions (except to the motor industry).  Conclusion the motor industry reckon 8 / 10 the banks 5.5 / 10 which due to Swedish rounding gives me 7 / 10.
  • Worldwide opinion.  He’s got the UN more onside, sorted issues with Russia more or less, being more aggressive with China which fuck kind of in favour of, friendly with Europe.  Failed with Israel but who hasn’t.  8.5 / 10

34.5 / 70 = 5 / 10 rounded
So I guess not so good, but its been pretty tough environment to start in.

i still like his reviews because he does point out the negative things in the games that actually matter, vs say gamespy who point out the glitch on the wall in level 1 that no one notices


Agree with this.  Still watch them every week and whilst I do not find them as amusing as I did I still do find them amusing, and there is still some originality at times.

I think that he does a good job of giving a serious review in a way which is not dull.  My pet complaint is the games he reviews, so many are going to be shit from the start no matter what (Halo Wars I mean seriously).

We've always had a regular rotational server, it never ever ever ever left. I don't understand why everyone has it in their mind that we only offer dd2 24/7. Don't say its because thats the only one populated either, because you guys are the ones who are populating it instead of the servers you supposedly want.


You force teams on the server.
You allow Awps / auto which allot of people have issues with.
If I am not mistaken some of the maps on them suck

To be frank Iconz went through a elite bs phase, and it hasnt seemed to emerge from that.

You do not have the set up as it once was, so dont pretend you do.
