It's hilarious at this point. I was holding out on Attila due to Rome 2's launch but was starting to re-consider due to all of the praise. Guess I'll now just wait a year or two now for Attila.

I think they mentioned in one of the rally points that civil war is no longer inevitable and that politics is now actually a thing that works in the game.

With the definitive edition of Rome 2 being released, more fixes and additions are being made. For people who've played Rome 2 and the Total war series in general, what do you think of this. Have you downloaded the beta? What are your final thoughts of the game as a whole in comparision...

I've heard before that Africa while not having the highest average height among people (Europe has the tallest average people) has a distribution that's more U-shaped than any other continent. That would mean that they have a higher number of extreme outliers. That could explain their dominance...

Togas were super formal and specifically worn because you needed to keep one arm occupied wearing it. It was to hinder weapons in the Senate. Maces were a good against plate but would require a lot of thick metal. Not really necessary considering how most people wore chain-mail back then...

Picture 6 is of a piston. Something to do with a thermodynamic cycle? I suspect the engine-y thing is a new med-pack thing for the Medic due to the piston relating to the hose like medi-gun and the seemingly gas containing medi-pack. Last picture looks like a transmitter/receiver using the same...

You mean Shenmue 3. All of you people have very nice and dandy suggestions but please, Shenmue 3.

Slings, chariots then infantry. Spam slings to weaken them at range and to take out possibly problematic units, use chariots initially to disrupt formation cohesion (which is what chariots do better than cavalry so far as I can tell), then after the infantry land a charge, Use the chariots like...

What would you personally do/have done if at 25 you get £10,000 from the government. What would be the effects of this for your country as a whole? Would it somehow make more money than it costs to implement? Would this cause you to start a business or would you save it in a bank fund. What...

Idea 1: Little kid around 5-6 in Primary 1/Nursery (British school system), is playing about in class with other kids. Kid makes his hand into a gun and starts pretending to shoot people. Adults react the same horror as a real gun, freak out and get the kids out of class. Kid runs around school...

Robin Atkin Downes all the way. Assassins creed 3 spoilers* George: Blah blah blah Braddock is going to shank the French. Me: TRAVIS?! Me: Your a junkie for blood old man, aren't you? Much later in the game.... Haytham: This sad excuse of a leader Burned your village Me: I...

Just get back in there. She falls out of love with you? No problem. She can re-fall in love with you. Do stuff with her like she's a new girlfriend. Go to the cinema, draw pictures together, have a picnic, talk about your zany childhood dreams. Whatever you feel is good. Re-dating her has...

Edit: Gentlemen? Day 3: A mode called Mann up mode is here, which lets you get extra cosmetic items. Certain things in MVM requires monetary purchase however playing it is free. A new map designed by the soldier. http://www.teamfortress.com/mvm/bounty/ MVM has missions, waves of robots...

Like every action in your life, actions have consequences. Making a joke at the expense of anything inherently carries a risk. If you find rape jokes acceptable and so does your audience then the social situation at the time deems it ok. If they don't then they deem it bad. Whether or not...

So we'll be like Deus Ex 1 but without going through Deus Ex 3? Damn.
