Anyone know where I can get the Terror in Ascii dungeon tutorial?
The link is going to a website for picture framing

The link works for me, so I'll copy the tutorial down and PM it to you. Looked through it and it seems to be a pretty good intro to C++ (it starts with classes ) and it won't bore the crap out of you while you read it.

When I last used it, it was really slow. It seems a lot better now, but I'm also on a much better computer.

Don't look down on miners; they just don't know any better  . Mining is also pretty relaxing and a great time to just chill and chat.

Gate-camping is pretty necessary because they are the only choke-points in space. Besides, if there were no gate camps, then we wouldn't get to break said gate camps.

IMO EvE is mostly about player interaction and drama. The entire system is set up so that people can essentially grieve each other in a fun way. That's probably why goonswarm is so powerful in EvE.

Just, what?
A Red Dwarf STAR is so much more an appropriate reason to name it that, given that, you know, it's a SPACE game.

I agree, red dwarf stars are pretty cool.

...horrible joke

More of a problem than anything in Civ 3 was that you could be prehistoric Abe Lincoln who then proceeds to builds the Pyramids and establish a monarchy.

I'm under the assumption these mods would fix change this.

There is a historic mod where you are supposed to follow history. I think it's rhye's and fall of civilization, but I could be wrong.

FFH2 is different -- it is a dark fantasy mod and adds in magic, powerful religions, weapons and dragons and all that cool stuff. The most interesting part is that every race (and religion) is vastly different and generally very powerful in their own way. For example elves can build any improvements over forests and pirates can build pirate coves that give them extra gold. The idea is that every race can be overpowered and interesting and hopefully they will all balance out because they are all equally overpowered (and it works really well). Everyone also has a "superpower" world spell that you can use once per game that usually is a very big deal. It's very differant from regular civ where you only get differant traits; you have to expect a very different play-style from every individual civ.

The mythos behind it is really awesome too. Every fantasy stereotype is in from desert raiders to vampires to angels, but they also really feel like they fit together in the same world. I think the dark fantasy part pulls it together because every race and leader has their own little quirks or twists to them (i.e.they are all a little bit crazy). If someone summons Hyborem (the devil basically) then you could always summon the angle civ to fight them, but they also believe in destroying evil (and of course they think EVERYONE is evil), so you can't guarantee that it won't come back to haunt you later.

I think Ill try it after I finish my current game. I'm the Luchirip and I blocked the lanun, who had a yggdrasil in their capital, from expanding beyond their small peninsula early on. I had some luck early game; Orthus spawned right next to one of my cities, but he suicided on the 2 brave warriors defending it. I teched up until I could build golems and built an army to grab the yggdrasil. They were easily destroyed by barnaxus with orthus' axe and an army of wood golems. Now I've got the yggdrasil AND an unstoppable army -- this game won't last long.

Hmm... might be interesting to start up EvE again, since I've got alot more free time over the summer. If there is going to be a bay12 corp, I'll probably join. Dunno how long I would stay because of the grind, but as long as nobody spoofs vent logs, declares me a spy and blows up my ship, then it might work out. Ofc it's the drama that makes it fun
