Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Personally, I'm deeply and griveously offended by your hatred for paragraph breaks.

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

But perhaps not on the Dominions 3 forums? Nothing good ever comes of gun control debates, I've found. (Now, if only Illwinter would add rabid, demon-possessed wilderbeest to the game, and the spells...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Well, no, but that's primarily because you still haven't added peasant infantry armed with torches and pitchforks to the game.

Re: OT-favorite movie lines

Oh, and movie quotes.

Re: OT-favorite movie lines

It's not quite that simple (when is anything to do with law that?) Copyright law also has the concept of "derivative work" which can include wholly new works, but which are based on existing,...

Chances are, most would. The Inquisition? Not the horror it's commonly believed to have been. Now, the Spanish Inquisition, on the other hand, that's a different story; but then that was an entirely...

Re: So no Dominions 4?

Thank you. We just might, now that we've been given permission.

(Not that it's my decision in any way what to do about Dominions, of course, but when handed a straight line like that, how could I...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

The way I see it, there's no point in worrying about potential offense. Once we get some actual offense it can be worth discussing, but until then we're just chewing chud.

Err. What? You just put it in an envelope.



It's too expensive for you (well, your friends, anyway).



You're positing a false dilemma. It's clear that Illwinter and Shrapnel can have...

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Then again, they are working on Colonization II right now, so it's not like they've completely forgotten their old games.

Re: Real-world sensitivities and game names

Fun things certainly happened, but not those two. Ius primae noctis never existed, and the so-called Children's Crusade didn't consist of children, but of youths, and they didn't end up being sold as...

That's like saying that the games produces by EA Games and Sid Meier are the same games. It's quite simply not the case.

Re: Don\'t play Dom3 after 2 martinis.....

This calls for: SCIENCE!

If two martinis cause a problem, will one? What about three? Not to mention four? Does the type of wine matter? The amount? The shape of the glass? How about brandy, or...

Re: So no Dominions 4?

Actually, theatres don't buy movies. The business model is more along the lines of the studio renting screens from the theatre in return for a (rather small) fraction of the ticket price. Then the...

Yes, yes, there were long books and stories long before word processors entered stage right, but it was with the the arrival of the word processors that books of 300+ pages became the norm.

Not coincidentally, this happened at about the same time that personal computers and word processors entered the scene.

Of course not. They're just much, much better than the authors themselves are.

Re: OT-Black Company

Commenting as a reader, I'm not interested in reading anything that have "circumvented the publishers." I don't want to have to sort through the slush pile myself.
