I think your link got removed. What game are we discussing?

I didn't know Microsoft had a lottery or a West African branch.

Is this New Zealand news station affiliatied with The Onion here in the states?

Flimsy stuff.

Go back and read your own quote. You said "International law apparently presumes that soverign nations have somehow subordinated themselves and their interests to a higher authority or a common goal, which is a total falsehood."
Okay, I guess I left out a word. I should have said "International law apparently presumes that ALL soverign nations have somehow subordinated themselves and their interests to a higher authority or a common goal, which is a total falsehood."
All. Without all there is no world government, and without all participating, there is no International Law in capital letters. At least not in the ideal way that many folks seem to think exists.
See, the confusion comes in because while international laws may apply between Italy and France as EU members (by agreement of the parties), some also make the leap of logic that maybe there are interational laws that apply between the EU and Iran. Not the case. No agreement between the parties in this case.
Why are so many treaties made, and so few broken? It's the best way of doing business. They are only agreements however, not law.
-
Iran is the subject of the thread. Iran hasn't joined the EU. It isn't clear to me what law the people of Iran or the government of Iran are subject to, other than the government of Iran.
Treaties aren't law. Treaties are either followed or ignored as the signing governments see fit. Breaking a treaty is neither a felony or a misdemeanor.
-
What utter tosh. Ever heard of the European Union? Most of the last 60 years of political history have been one long example of countries surrendering traditional aspects of their sovereignty to collective international bodies.
I have heard of the European Union. Is it a world government capable of making law in Iran? Or the U.S.? Or China? Or India? etc...
Not to my knowledge.
-
International law is a fiction and a joke. Where did this silly idea come from?
The definition of being a soveriegn nation is that a country is an independent actor. It makes it's own rules and pursues it's own interests. International law apparently presumes that soverign nations have somehow subordinated themselves and their interests to a higher authority or a common goal, which is a total falsehood.
Therefore as far as I can see, in the real world, Iran has the prerogative to pursue nuclear weapons, and the USA and Israel, as sovereign nations, also have the prerogative to blow those nuclear facilities to smithereens if they see fit.
These discussions about legalities, as if nations were citizens in a global village, always strike me as silly and childish in a world of realpolitik and the obvious truth that the nations with the strongest militaries end up making the rules.

Although Shell is a British company, you seem to be focused on the US oil companies. They don't control the world you know. They don't even control a majority of the world's oil reserves.
If the technology exists, why hasn't ANYONE in the entire world put your wonder engines to use? CNOOC in China and Gazprom in Russia surely aren't part of your Western Shell/Chevron/Exxon conspiracy, are they?
What about the Indians, or the Brazilians? If you can come up with this information on the internet, wouldn't it stand to reason that every government and corporation on the planet can do the same? Yet, no company or government has seen fit to pursue this wonderful MPG technology? Really? Does that seem logical to you?
Fails the reason test in my judgement.
P.S. This new forum is teh suck.

Yeah, probably more like:
CM: 29th US Infantry division with two types of Shermans in support versus German 352nd Infantry division with one type of Stug and one type of Panzer IV and STOP ASKING FOR KING TIGERS!
or
CM: 29USIDwttosisvG352IDwotosaotoPIVaSAFKT for short.
-
I expect CMC to make me beautiful, and to validate my existence on this earth. I expect it to fulfill all my desires, and satisfy my every whim. I expect it to make me think, but also to make me feel something I have never felt before.
-
Beta is almost, maybe, ready to start?
I expect we will have this in our hands in a year or so, just in time for the next version of Windows, which will probably be incompatible with CMBB. This is very exciting.

Last I heard, WEGO PBEM had some real problems under 1.07. What about 1.08?
-
You can enjoy them as much as you want, but to my way of thinking using the same graphical engine and shoddy artwork for the last 10 years seriously hampers the quality. The subject matter is interesting, but I won't buy the games because I cannot stand to look at them.Originally posted by abneo3sierra:Also, the hits on John Tiller's games are really classless. Many people, myself included, enjoy his games, which are mostly classics. That in no way takes away from my enjoyment of this game.
I appears Tiller does not want to take a risk investing in a new graphic artist in an attempt to boost sales.
-
Yes, you are right.Originally posted by Battlefront.com:Again, you misread what happen. I remember the sales figures for each of their games and they were on a downward trend. This was not because they pissed off the grogs, it was because cost were going up and the number of people interested in playing 2D rehashes of a single game engine were going down (not even staying level). They were already a dead company walking before they "lost their focus", as you put it.
Nevertheless, if you cannot deliver 1:1 that the community finds compelling, I predict you will experience the same kind of declining sales pattern going forward.
-
Hmmm. Okay.
I recall I was doing beta for Talonsoft when they started publishing games about rabid monkeys riding motorcycles in a post nuclear future or something. This as I was working on scenarios for their new East Front games, and I thought their departure from pure wargaming marked a misguided loss of focus at the time.
In retrospect it wasn't long after Talonsoft lost 'their grogs' that the company had totally gone astray and soon went out of business.
If you hold to pattern, CMx2 WW2 will flop, then you'll publish Space Lobsters to pay the bills for a while, and you will be a history by 2010.
-
Yes but what percentage? I don't know what BF.C's business situation is, but in my opinion it appears you have lost far more of a following than you have gained with CMSF. It seems to me you have got to 'turn a corner' at some point to win back the community.Originally posted by Battlefront.com:Fortunately for us, when we embarked on CMx2 we had to write off a certain percentage of our existing customer base because they wouldn't want to make the transition, for one reason or another.
The grogs may be the most vociferous complainers, but they are likely the mouthpiece for thousands more silent customers who may be thinking along the same lines, but never post here. You won't know they are gone until the sales drop.
-
Fair enough, but in my estimation your back is against the wall right now to improve 1:1 as much as possible, before turned-off gamers just stop buying.

That remains to be seen. There have been a lot of bad WW2 games that were unpopular despite their setting. I wouldn't rely too much on a change of scenery.Originally posted by Battlefront.com:My previous post was simply to illustrate that a lot of the hostility to the environment will melt away when we move to WW2 simply because they will inherently less opposed to it.

OP = Original Poster.

The OP's post had very little to do with setting, and much more to do with TacAI and pathfinding issues.
Going back to WW2 won't make those issues go away. You've got to get soldiers to do realistic stuff, or what gets shown on the screen is garbage.

I heard they were actually going to stretch Hobbit into two movies.
I'm in. I want to see Smaug on the big screen.
