Welcome to Thunderdome

I haven't been following the Xbox 2 or PS3 rumors, so I just looked up the difference between Xbox 2 (the only name I'd heard) and Xbox 360. I see now that Xbox is calling the Xbox 2, "Xbox 360" because "2" will sound inferior to Playstation's "3." It's like AMD not na...

Interesting. I haven't seen that reported anywhere. I love this time of year. E3 is quickly becoming a nerd holiday. There probably won't be any big announcement. The article you linked to was kind of strange because showing it early isn't something new. Usually the day before the doors open but wi...

At E3, yeah, but that doesn't start until May 17th. No it will be shown before E3 also. Sony, MS, and Nintendo always seem to show the new systems and big games at special media events a day or two before the doors open. Personally, I think its Sony's battle to lose despite Microsoft gaining some g...

I had no idea there was a Republic Commando comic. Are the character in the game the same as in the comic? Not a comic series but comics where they show up from time to time. There are books but I don't think they include the team from the game. I don't remember the names of the Commandos in the ot...

My question is why only create a set number of elite clones as they begin their training at birth. If you're going to make one perfect, why not make them ALL perfect? There not perfect just different. The reason they don't want all Elites is because the basic Clone Trooper would do what they were t...

No, you haven't been following the whole chain. And I wasn't commenting on the whole chain. Just your statement that it bugs you that clones have different skills and can be better then one another. I don't see the problem you have with an elite unit of clone troopers. Also the Elites had different...

In the game's cutscenes, it shows them being trained and raised as commandos from birth, so the personality thing doesn't fly. If John Elway had been raised in South Africa as a diamond miner, he never would have been an NFL QB. So then we are agreeing on this then? Your above statement about Elway...

(I won't get into how much it bugs me that you're an elite team of clones and "better" than the other clones that are exactly like you.) Their make up is the same not their personality. If John Elways parents would have cloned him the day he was born both Elways wouldn't be Hall of Fame Q...

As for not building the wonders...I must be doing something wrong because I'm in a game now where I've built about 10 wonders to the rest of the world's one and I'm also waaaayyyyy ahead in the tech race. I don't know I am just going with what the people who play it on diety mode say and I avoid wo...

Are you asking because you want to know what it is or because it was spelled wrong and you are just pointing that out?

It puts a temple in each of your cities on same continent. I think it was part of one of the expansions.

What are the first things one should focus on when starting? How about where to build cities? Workers, Settlers, and some units to defend. No matter who you are you need to expand like crazy. I like 20ish cities before 0 B.C. but that doesn't always happen. You can check out this site Civfanatics t...

You can't. It never works.
