Combine it with asthetics mods (display cases an the like) and you'll be able to have a whole museum about the battle, with goblin helmets, weapons from both sides, etc.

True. Bethedsa games tend to suck on consoles because they, for some reason, don't support mods. Mods can greatly boost replay value.

This has been bugging me for a while, but why doesn't his board have an adventurer mode questions forum?

First, I think those discussing violence are suggesting DEFENSIVE options, not OFFENSIVE ones. From what he's saying, some means of defense is not a bad idea, if this guy is this unstable.
To the OP. You have legal recourses. You are an adult and are entitled to all benefits and rights of an adult citizen. If the facts are as you have related them, then the man you are living with is guilty of at least four felonies, possibly more, and a score of misdemeanors. If you simply leave, it will be difficult for you to obtain your stamps and other assistance because you are already listed as a beneficiary at your current address. I'm sure that placing a phone call to the police from a location outside your home is possible. Don't call the police, at least at first. Place a confidential tip with Children's Services. You say your sister is 16. That makes her a minor, and the living conditions you describe are unhealthy and potentially dangerous. In my experience, taking your case to CSB will get things done a lot faster. I've had to get some of my cousins out of such a situation before.

Since I started using KeePass, whenever possible I've been using passwords that look like this:
סƒŽš˜ܿΤ’š
Obviously, this is more secure than a simple letter number combination, but how much stronger is it? How can I determine this?

I could confess that I prefer to dress like a girl, but that's not much of a confession, as I don't make any kind of effort to hide it online.

I, for one, would love to see a paper written on df physics. It would be hilarious.

DF Suggestions / Re: Additional Mechanics/Traps Wishlist
« on: July 02, 2010, 07:42:29 pm »
Dude. You should seriously check to see if that's already been suggested, and suggest it separately if it hasn't. It's a fairly simple, elegant solution to one of the game's biggest hassles, and it's pretty distinct from the vague "Improved Mechanics" of this thread.

« on: July 02, 2010, 07:36:01 pm »
This has long been a goal, but as I understand it, it's technically difficult to do,so Toady's waiting until he's finished shoring up some of the game's underlying mechanics.

Not to nitpick, assimilateur, but you shouldn't refer to the DF wiki as "Wikipedia." You'll confuse people.

DF Suggestions / Re: Build over floors?
« on: July 02, 2010, 05:52:40 pm »
NW_Kohaku: Please, calm down a bit. What you're saying is valid, but the way you're saying it is doing nothing to improve the situation. Nobody will listen to you if you piss them off. That's what got The Architect in trouble a few month ago.
RCIX: Nobody's telling you PEBKAC, or anything even close to that. You were told, very clearly, how things worked and why they work that way. You were also given a very clear link to a place where you could get more information. You may have missed it because you were unfortunate enough to post when NW_Kohaku had had enough. If, with this information, you think that hings should be changed, do a search for similar threads in the suggestions forum, then either post in the ones you find, or, if you don't find any, post a new one (even if this is the only thread you find that is related, you should lock it and start a new one. This one has too much nasty flying around.) This community is very newbie friendly, as long as the newcomers ask for help in the right places (TIP: use the Little Questions thread or the DF:2010 Little questions Thread for simple things, as a lot of people have those show up in Updated Topics) and at least make an honest effort to conform to the guidelines.

Play With Your Buddies / Re: Space Empires V multiplayer idea.
« on: July 02, 2010, 05:16:36 pm »
I'm cool with the tech and racial points. I'd prefer no AI players [/i]at all,[i/] because they're pretty hopeless and wouldn't add much more than tedium. Don't like the timed victory condition either. How about we substitute Peace Through The Quadrant (10 years without wars) for that? If you absolutely must have a timer, I'd suggest 50 or even 100 years. Yes, each year will take a lot of time to play, but I'd rather just abandon the game if everyone gets bored to having a game everyone's enjoying to just end.
Edit: Is there an in-game way for empires to trade ships/units? If there is, I'd be OK with no tech trade, but if you can't, then boarding would be too powerful (you can scrap a foreign ship that has tech you don't to gain some of said tech.) Remember, If we play a political game, teams aren't going to want to trade too much tech for fear it will be used against them.

Ah. All I have is the bridge, and that's useless if you're going with the 2009 version.
