From a (very) narrow economic perspective, leading a war really increases country's GDP in a short-term usually (because of investments into the army) - so it costs you money, but "increases" economy. The same applies to natural disasters (you have to rebuild infrastructure after floods e...

Gambit37 wrote:However you define a "war", it costs money.

Everything costs money, but you get something in exchange when waging a war.

Also a war doesn't cost money. I don't think I ever heard that opinion before. Interesting. Would the folks in Russia express this opinion during WWII? I'm talking of modern "we drive our tanks around and show our arms"-wars and only look at the economic side. And sometimes it's unavoidab...

It's a shame for a rich country to not have this, pure capitalism can't work nowadays. The US is not a pure capitalist system and it works just fine, when there are reasonable regulations and governmental oversight. The social system of the US is a shame compared to their wealth. And next to that, ...

Doesn't really work, because Obama has better sound and more color than McCain

Still consider that Obama won because of the financial crisis and not because he is so much more pacifist than McCain. In terms of warfare and diplomacy, i don't think the difference is too large between both. Neither of them can go and simply shut down Guantanamo or retreat from Iraq from one day t...

I don't think it makes a big difference internationally, so i couldn't really care and i'm glad the campaign is over. It was very overrepresented in germany, even more than our own votes. Might be a good thing for black people, though.

I hunt him down and start casting fluxcages, as soon as i see him. Actively circling him in an open area feels much more rewarding then trapping him . If i'm a bit lucky, that can be done in 10-30s after entering the room.

How many real new ideas are there today? That's really not camparable to LotL, the dev definitely cut too many corners there. And even next to that, the game wasn't very brilliant. I never denied that, i only think he didn't deserve that much of public bashing. I can sympathize with his aim, but by...

This makes me sad. It is (or has been) the dream of many of us to have their computer game on the shelf in a shiny box. Steve Bovis worked many years for this dream and the day, the game was released, it was teared apart. Look at the pride: http://www.kentonline.co.uk/images/paper/PD1403578_l.jpg Su...

Just what i always did... send the dungeon to beo before releasing it...

We had Amiga logos on ESCOM computers before they went bankrupt. Now there's Atari logos on Infogrames games until they go bankrupt as well sooner or later. Hopefully sooner.

You mean those 657892362409+- penis monsters in the internet?

Mophus should be a sure bet, as well as Hissssa, Chani and Gothmog. Wuuf has alwaays been popular. And I have seen a Stamm Bladecaster in DDO. In CSB, i liked Itza, but an aztec might a bit lame. Plague and petal were (afair) used very often on screenshots, so they should be the most popular from CS...

Hey Paru, I made a dungeon with a similar approach (Imprisoned Again) and found out that it's very tedious to balance a hard dungeon. Simply stuffing HP on monsters won't help, because after you got a tactic to beat it, it's only some clicks to do. It can be a nice surprise here and there, but you s...

I voted 2000. While DM surely was a gem and alone reason enough to vote for it's time and there are other fine games as well (i mean, i played hundreds of them), there is nothing which beats a MMO. An evergrowing world full of people and different stuff to do. There are lots of them and i lost my he...

Hello shambling, i'm the lurker in here, my DM-renaissance is already past again, but i still feel tied to this game. I mean, it's the best game i ever played. DM is flawless. Have fun playing it all of the community created dungeons as well. I never really liked "The Bard's Tale." Somethi...

I never played too much P&P, but i am playing Dungeons&Dragons Online for like 2 yrs now (just in case you wondered where i have been). Gary Gigax narrated one of the dungeons there (Mystery of Delera's Tomb), nice tribute to him running it over and over (also nice Exp there ).

As long as people can download and play the dungeon, I am fine. You can also use it to test if teleporting apples around still works in newer versions of CSBWin

Oh, didn't reread the whole thread, only stumbled across a "we might enter it to wikipedia" and thought maybe someone elese added it there.

I just stumbled across this on wikipedia, no clue where it's from: Although the solutions to the games various puzzles are long since known, one riddle in particular seems to have remained unsolved so far. In some versions of the game (mainly the Atari ST one), there is a scroll on which the followi...

Don't like them too much as well. When you want a senseless term, why don't use one which has at least a meaning to yourself? You could use some DM term like "magenta worm" for example (not the best one actually ).

Diamond Edge!

Hi there
Doing original DM for the 100th time also has been done already

</delurk> Heya all, you might remember me! ;) Funny how similar our stories are, I'm also trying to drag myself away from gaming to something productive. After all, i'm creative, intelligent and stuff and use it to "pwn" online-games. What a waste, i could be rich and stuff by now (not tha...

That are 10 great games, but i really wonder about the absence of Civilization. TBS wasn't really new at that time, but THAT complexity...

Apart from monster flooding That was fixed in the latest version - at least no more armies of knights... ;) So yes, go for Imprisoned Again, i consider it my masterpiece (which doesn't mean there are no better dungeons out there) and i wanted it to be similar to DM and without too much getting lost...
