Kohan (and Kohan 2) 'stacks' units into companies. The player can only move companies, not the units within them. A company can be anything between 1 (for...
... Civ turns are several years, as far as I recall. The entire WWII would be over in a few turns, and usually Civ units don't move fast enough for that to be...
... And the companies can be grouped together, which I nearly always did. Two melee companies in the front and an archer company between and behind them. Lock...
... Yeah, but Civ is just fundamentally confused about scale. It gets irritating the minute you start thinking about it. Like submarines that are obsolete...

... I think the changes I have in mind are too deeply structural to ever be embraced by the IGF. They have their gig and their leadership. It's working for...
It looks to me like indiegames.com is pretty new. I suspect that as time moves on, they'll add more resources like they have with gamasutra.com. Another...

... If they don't have an open system they are wide open for both misuse and lack of competence. From what I saw on the web page and have read here Lack of...
... Just to clarify, are you saying that you think some of the http://www.igf.com award recipients shouldn't have gotten them? If so, which ones? One of the...
... No I haven't looked at the games or awards. The games didn't look interesting enough to spend that much time trying them. I was judging from the design of...
