Last post by JasonPratt - Today at 12:04:07 PMWow. That Mari army had serious quality, too, not only quantity!
Did they attack into a ludicrous Kursk-style defense??

Computer Gaming / Re: Total war pharaoh - coming...
Last post by JasonPratt - Today at 12:01:27 PMHm, did I make a bet with myself that Sega would expand their saga to include previously developed Troy assets in Pharaoh a Totally Saga War? Can't recall, but seems plausible in hindsight.
Sarcasm aside, I appreciate that they're trying to recover from treating a playable alpha as a triple-A full launch title -- even Koei doesn't do that! (I think?) I also appreciate that modern costs going into modern gaming can lead companies to try releasing content piecemeal in order to aim for what they think they actually need to be paid for a proper profit from their efforts.
But as much as I simply want CA to produce a nice Bronze Age game, I still don't know why I would pay for the current offering rather than put tips in the jar (if possible) for the Age of Bronze modders on a game I already own.
They've kind of entered a floating death spiral of producing a modder base product instead of competing with the modders in quality. I'm kind of sympathetic with the dilemmas which led to this, as a practical matter, but nevertheless here we are. And aside from recoding their games to disallow mod support -- including retroactively! -- I don't know how they pull out of the spiral.

Tech Talk / Re: Strange new PC problem
Last post by Jarhead0331 - Today at 11:58:42 AMQuote from: ArizonaTank on Today at 11:56:13 AMQuote from: Jarhead0331 on Today at 08:11:24 AMIt's looking like the USB switch is the culprit. I disconnected it from the KVM switch and the mouse and keyboard have been working normally since on both rigs. I'll continue to test for a few days.
I've had a USB switch fail... Just stopped working. Surprised me because it was only about six months old. I just figured it got zapped by static or something.
So far, mine seems to be working, its just creating a conflict with the KVM switch. Its hard to find a KVM switch that handles HD, audio and multiple USB peripheral devices. They really seem designed for basic functions. The higher end KVMs with more options get very expensive.
