I have a completely and utterly never heard question that has never ever graced this board before:

Why are the threads going backwards????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????

(Judging by the wind and the time of the month I think we're about due http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif )

If it must be an help for newbies I also would like to see:

How dominion works and spread ? -> link to ceremnoy pdf file

How can I increase mgic levels ? -> link to a thread and also to Zan Magic Items file

What are themes and theyr difference -> link to a thread (I suppose was from Zen) with the starting spells and also link to the quick ref

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Yeah that was going to be in it also. Pointing to the thread in the Shrapnel General board with the discusion and the poll.

Of course it would then have to be deleted as soon as thats fixed.

This one is mostly so that instead of posting a question twice it will be a quick index to threads here that have extensive discussion/answers already. If there is a new variation they can post it in that thread automatically bumping it up. Of course for many questions, going to the thread will also show them links to some of the other documentations.

Originally posted by Peter Ebbesen:

So maybe just "flame roasted (philosophical) chestnuts" - if "chestnut" in this context isn't too idiomatic for an international forum.

And yes, I know I am guilty. I'm sowwwy. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon9.gif

Links to suggested startegies ( http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon12.gif ) for the different nations would be a very welcome addition to the list.

I cant believe it. When i first asked that question i got a nice answer. But its like a curse, each week someone asks this !!!!!! SOMEONE STICKY THIS ON THE --VERY-- TOP !!

[Redfive]

So I guess now wouldn't be the best time to ask that question because I almost did today?


*tiptoe*

Can anyone tell me why the threads are backwards on this forum?

*sheepish grin*

Was that non-offensive enough? http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

No need to tiptoe Redfive.

Just your inflamed responses or "Should be", "Could be" and other arguments for why it is the way it is should be carefully chosen.

Here is the link for the thread that explains more about it, why and a possible change.
