This is an old mosaic with some Custom military stuff. I hope to add more to this arsenal as time goes on -

Both of your Computers could run CitiesXL. As you can imagine, it'll start to get sluggish when you reach the 75k-100k mark, but it should run alright on low settings till about 500k, then you might find it better to switch to very low. I'm getting a new PC for this definitely, the game looks absolutely stunning on highest settings. My current specs are - Windows XP Intel Core 2 @ 1.87ghz 3.7GB Ram XFX 9500GT 256MB I'm currently running it on very low settings with a City of 800K and its not exactly super quick.

Who sung that song "And I still haven't found what i'm looking for"... because thats my frigging theme tune right now!

Damn, i've been asleep and i've missed 2 already... Time to get hunting

I don't think its started yet, so its quite fruitless. Still, It hasn't stopped me doing it right now

Originally posted by: cestes I think this is my first post ever, even though I lurk a lot. Anyhow, this sounds like fun!quote> Hah, first Post and you've been here since 2003. Welcome to the forum

Dirk mentioned that he would do exactly that

Awesome! Thanks for this oppertunity, I expected a competition of some sort but absolutley nothing like this. Let the games begin!

Yeah, but it got pushed back... don't ask me why

Sounds like a lot of fun. So, its not on right now... i'm going to be here for hours later on searching through every nook of the forum! Question - Is there a limit to the amount of Codewords you can submit in a day?

No problem. I'm looking forward to the Bata too. I think everybody is

Nobody in the West wants to start a war that will result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people. If North Korea starts it, by invading the South, I can guarentee China would step in to stop it before the West could react in order to give them some more muscle flexing power in world affairs. North Korea is like the growling terrier on China's leash, they wouldn't bite China since they are the main source of treats and would have to back down.

I'm still holding onto hope that it will be possible, maybe not straight away, but in the near future after CitiesXL is released. What Neddiggis posted isn't particularly encouraging, but maybe things have changed...

Given that Monte Cristo give us some Modding capabilities, this game can become another SC4 with careful nurturing and plenty of Official support.

I'd give him a Sandwich laced with cyanide. Then I'd ask him if he enjoyed it.

Oh momma, the moment we've been waiting for

My post wasn't directed at you, it was directed at the minority of people who moaned about it not being released in English first. If your not one of those people, your free from the wrath of my previous post.

They hadn't started development of the new game back then, they were simply working out a "New Direction"... the result of that "New Direction" could well have been SCS. Its a simple case of EA wanting Maxis to work on the things that will make the most money -The Sims and Spore - Instead of wasting their time on a SC sequel that will inadvertently be too complicated to attract a lot of new players... because obviously, players are dumbasses.

Originally posted by: Brightonn When it is released in English, I just hope they get the translation right!quote> It hasn't been annouced yet, thats why people are throwing strops. A small minority feel the English speaking World is some sort of Higher being that should be worshipped and waited on hand and foot like an Emperor God, and the burning fact that French and German speakers might get the game first is an unthinkable evil. I'm sure they will get the Translation right. From what I've seen Speech-wise from members of the MC team is that they are all rather proficient in English.

The lack of Maxis being its own seperate entity means they are condemmned day and night to Work on The Sims and Spore expansions. Sim City looks like one of these games thats going to be neglected for a decade like Red Alert was, and then EA will decide to cash in on the aging fanbase and provide us with a cheap and nasty sequel. EA never like to work hard on anything. City Simulation games are massivley unwieldy to produce, and coupled with the onslaught of more and more intense 3D graphics mean that as each year goes by Games are becoming more demanding and difficult to create. A Sim City sequel is very unlikely... but and equally good game could just be around the corner, you never know.

This sort of outcome was about as predicatable as the sun rising every morning. The elections only act as a pacifier, so the Iranian people and the West are satisfied with Iran's commitment to democracy, even though it's a poorly disguised attempt to keep a Theocratic lunatic in power without anybody being none the wiser. The violent protests, the shutting down of opposition newpapers, the blocking of foreign news sites, the blaming fo the West and the Arresting of opposition Leaders within the space of a day seem to me as Ahmadinejad's feeblest of feeble attempts to stop people discovering that the election was rigged.

You'll find plenty of UK styled buildings on the Stex... just use keywords like UK, Britian, England etc, you'll find a tonne of stuff that'll make your eyes pop out of your skull. I haven't played SC4 for a while, but I still don't think theres a Houses of Parliament out there which is a shame...
