Thread: Watching SPrice play Symbiosis and RE upkeep so low21 Sep 2015, 09:19 AM Jump back to quoted post21 Sep 2015, 07:43 AMCarlos Danger Quick, somewhat off-topic question, but could somebody please explain to me what the actual purpose of unit upkeep is? As far as I can tell, it's an arbitrary method of punishing good unit preservation. In a sense. The fact that a player who loses a lot of units gets a lot of income allows for them to recover, meaning that a game is not decided by one lucky early engagement, frex. It makes comebacks possible, allows players to take more risks. In: COH2 Balance
Thread: Regarding the cold tech removal21 Sep 2015, 09:03 AM It was fine as it was, and made the game smarter. In: COH2 Gameplay
Thread: Recommended WW2 reads21 Sep 2015, 08:52 AM I don't see how a marketing department can so deeply influence animated cut-scenes that appear regularly. This is a content decision that must have been made rather higher up, I think. A more cogent case can be made that a strategic decision was made to avoid any potential accusations of communist sympathies or discounting of the Western allies contribution in order to appease an American market. But that's just speculation on my part. Nor do I care how it cam about, really. Relic can bask in the glory of having produced one of the nastiest pieces of bigotry to have been published in computer gaming. In: The Library
Thread: Post WW2 and Modern Warfare Pics20 Sep 2015, 11:59 AM This is interesting, although neither a pic nor a video. Radio chatter from inside a Lancaster during a bombing run. In: The Library

Thread: Native Language Option5 Sep 2015, 08:33 AM I've watched a lot of stuff dubbed both into English and out of it, and the only problem I've ever had was when someones voice was very different to the original. In: Lobby
Thread: Mad Max the game4 Sep 2015, 17:25 PM I've been reading a few reviews of this, and some of the impressions have been fairly negative. But I also watched a few hours of a Let's Play, and it doesn't look that bad to me. Certainly the dialogue and voice acting of Max's buddy Chumbucket are very good IMO. In: Other Games
Thread: Post WW2 and Modern Warfare Pics4 Sep 2015, 11:42 AM China* has released a CGI video of themselves fighting back against an "unidentified" enemy that happens to have a lot of American kit: http://foxtrotalpha.jalopnik.com/this-is-the-insane-video-china-just-put-out-showing-it-1728674129 * Sources tell me this was not released by the PLA, as the branding says "Tencent Video", which is a reference to a group of online nationalistic activists. So it's not quite as officially belligerent a gesture as the article implies. In: The Library
Thread: How do you get new weapons e.g. Tiger Tanks?4 Sep 2015, 11:40 AM Many commanders have specialised call-in units that are not available for building from the tech structures. These can be weak-ish units, likes Osttruppen or Soviet Partisans, but range all the way up to super-heavy armour like Tigers, Tiger Ace, IS-2, and so on. In: New Members
Thread: Anyone else annoyed by the day 1 DLC within DLC?31 Aug 2015, 08:02 AM Jump back to quoted post30 Aug 2015, 17:38 PMdrChengele Very nice reductio ad absurdum. ... This is something you are comparing to robberies and muggings. Tell me again, whose argument is the thicker one? I did not COMPARE them in any sense of them being directly similar; only as things about which people complain, for good reason. Which you know, because you acknowledged that this was a reductio.
