Good point. BTW, you left out ethylene glycol (antifreeze), which is far easier to obtain.

It wasn't meant to be a comprehensive list, merely a short list of examples of drugs which are known to treat the aforementioned ailment. The actual list numbers in the thousands, which just goes to show how easily this can be treated.

Aside from the battle replay inconsistency, and a few things that could occasionally crash the hosting process, there were virtually no serious bugs on release, and still are almost none. Which is why I stated that it was virtually bug free.

Since y'all already said '*******', allow me to say 'Bull****'.

Unless your definition of "bug", "serious bug" and "virtually bug free" are seriously out of whack with my score year as a software developer.

You're so negative. It's not a bug, it's a feature!

If I could add my own opinion amid your attacks against each other: I feel there is something fundamentally wrong with a game that causes free troops to be more harm then good. Perhaps the 'bug' is more an innate game play problem. Now, there�s no need to go beating me up for my opinion like you did to GD.

I like to see that list of bug fixes.

They might be quite different. There are about 80 bugs listed as fixed in the various patches. Most of these are quite minor things, that don't prevent you from playing the game, things like having two Admiral's swords in the game. Of the major bugs that can actually damage a game that is in progress, there have been about 5 or 6 that have been fixed since the release. This includes the battle replay inconsistency, a couple of crash bugs in the VCR, and the problem where two servers that both started at almost exactly the same time on the same machine could sometimes end up sharing the same temp files, which could toast the game data. That's not exactly a large number of bugs, and people pretty much got what they paid for, which is a functional program.
