yes please?

I'm old enough to vote, and I've done so at every election I've been able too. On top of that, I've also been a precinct official for every election I've been able to as well. I don't care much about political talk though, my opinion is more along the lines of "Would you please just stfu and vo...

rofl.
You guys really know how to wind Fang up...
Nice map, too. Out of curiosity, this is in the old format, right?

Necromancy!
The last post was a year and five days ago...

you mispelled mediocre in the thread title.
And I'm an Acolyte at the Temple of Lexicon.

the mirroring is actually fairly obvious just by looking at the first image NOiZE posted. I'm not going to get heated about it, but I agree with Lathan and Bruce.

it would be nice to be able to have the guard command made so that it could guard a set of units, and/or the same with the repair command.

<3 E&E.
As soon as the textures are redone, then we can have a totally TA-free mod to distribute with Spring and there will be no more "oh noes t3h big scary Atari might kill us!" threads!

heh, if Spring gets packaged with Nanoblobs and/or Expand & Exterminate once it is finished being remade into something completely original, what can happen? the worst that could happen at that point is that AA and XTA would get a Cease & Desist order, right? Not much to worry about, imo.

I need to try that!

"make it so" would be nerdier than "ooh shiny." Actually, I never say or here "Make it so" although I knew instantly where it comes from, unlike "KHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNN!!!!!!" which everyone knows is supposed to be funny, even if they don't get it. I hear ple...

Actually, the OTA engine did this. A bertha would fire exactly however many shots were neccesary to kill something, then retarget before the shells even hit. Of course, it wasn't good it knew how many shots were neccesary to kill something it couldn't see, but you get the idea. I'm not so sure abou...

Bounties are bad news. They've been tried before for Spring, twice IIRC, and incited crap-storms without fail.

yes, but Caydr has fixed Dragon's Teeth so that they don't deform terrain in AA 2.2.
Before it was a tactic/exploit, now it's just plain useless.

Regardless of whatever you call it, it's still the Imperial system :p

I call it the "American system " (yes, even accompanied with an eye-roll), not the Imperial or Standard system

didn't you hear? map packs are unsupported now.

English is the most bastardized nonsensical and inconsistent language in existence. But yeah, it's flexible too. and it is popular because it is [edit] popular (I actually said possible , didn't know what I was thinking, I mean to say that the popularity is circular)[/edit] to some extent, if you ge...

I've read Sluggy Freelance and Schlock Mercenary, which have both been mentioned already.

KIA != KAI

Not sure if it has been mentioned, but would bell-curve damage probability be possible?
Not that I'm interested, this is purely out of curiosity.
