For my all-time favorite, I may have to stick with 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy'. There is just so much that has stuck with me over the years, and still find "Don't Panic" to be the most useful advice.Quote:

Couldn't give you an answer for that one. I am more interested in why it is not receiving the meat from my hunters and making hamburgers, instead of telling me it is out of resources.Quote:

i want to know if i send my geo befor the depot exhausted (like i said for the gold mine) the geo will find the spot at the same place or i realy need to wait the remove the exhausted depot befor sending that geo?
My family likes it best when I make Fajitas or Swiss-Cheese fondue. I don't get to cook as much as I used to, as my schedule does not get me home for dinner when I am working.Quote:

As I am about as south as you can get, there is not a lot of true seasons. The fall is the best for us, as the temperature is moderate, there is not a lot of rain, and you can still do almost anything outdoors. Winter is likely my least favorite, as tends to be busiest at work and still cold enough to make days off less fun.Quote:

Very good, I would agree on that one.Quote:

There is not much I would do with more money, sorry. I like working, even though it has its good and bad days. Having more money would not be good for my kids, as it is hard enough to teach them the value of it. I would likely save and invest it, and try not to let people know I have it, so can continue to be where I am now.Quote:

As a rule, the more general the system, the more flexible it is. It may not take much to shift the market where what your economy specialized in will lose value, making it harder to play. If you produce what you need, you will not get caught with a shift in the economy, and less at the mercy of the trade office.Quote:

Sort of like a young person looking at a modern car engine, compared to an 80 year old who saw simple car engines develop into their current state.
Sorry, we don't get any more advance information than other players. Neither are currently in testing status, so can say will not be coming to the live servers in the near future. I would want them to get them right though, before they reach the players, as a broken system would be worse than not having it at all.Quote:

I leave it to others to rate my sense of humor. As for Monty Python, it is a hard call between John Cleese and Eric Idle, but I would lean more toward Cleese if pressed.Quote:

I typically played PC games, as I had the computer and didn't want to try to specialize in one of the other platforms also. My kids actually found this game and thought I should try it. I didn't play the original settlers game, but have played multiple others that are in the same genre.Quote:

What I have found is that the geos will not find mines in places where mines exist when you send them out. However, there is a lag between when the last resource is taken from a mine or deposit and the building actually collapses. Many people have reported that you can send the geo out when the mine is in its last cycle, and it will re-find it there as long as the mine has collapsed before the geo completes his cycle. Generally though, you will have best results if looking for mines after they have collapsed, but you do not need to remove the collapsed building before sending; it will find a new deposit and replace the collapsed building graphic.Quote:

I think my new favorite building is the village school. With the new upgrade, it really changes the island economy across several production chains and actually allows settler production at a more reasonable pace for higher levels. When you calculate it out, it actually replaces 0.75 bakeries of the same level, and all of the buildings you need to support the bakery. And the price is much lower than it should be when you account for the number of silos it will replace, not to mention the other buildings.Quote:

Without knowing how the adventure islands are coded, it is difficult to say what is easy to do. In order to balance island difficulty, one way would be to move the camps within each sector. While this would make some adventure instances of the same type easier than others, it should even out. While this would eliminate set blocking, although not individual set-ups, it would make it much more interesting to do adventures. They may have to increase loot to make it more comparable with the losses from current adventures.Quote:

Excellent! Let's do this thing! It would certainly separate the hardcore players from the taggers. I like this idea; and it should not be that hard to implement, imho. lol (and I program...)Quote:

You can marvel just at the graphics that is included in what are relatively simple games. I get amazed when I am at work, when I have a super-high resolution monitor, and zoom in on my map, and marvel at the detail that has been included for just a single structure.Quote:
