RPS is the only game news page I bother to bookmark. Got to be good news.

I had some today!

<t> Most people now use the word without thinking of ice cream at all...<br/>
<br/>
Vanilla meaning basic - as in "plain vanilla" - comes from american processed food where you had a handful of flavors of 'icecream'. Why is that problematic? It's just how the word came to be used that way; the ...

It's called Vanilla because in the United States 'Vanilla Icecream' meant hydrogenated vegetable fat + cornstarch + fructose syrup and is white in color. So it meant a base product with nothing added.

<t> It should do since this game is constantly loading small files.<br/>
<br/>
Now I look this seems to be a common feature of strategy games: DW is 12,000 files ... CK2 10,000 ... Civ V 13,000.<br/>
<br/>
Compare that to action games which have a couple hundred files.<br/>
<br/>
<br ...

I don't know where to suggest in the US

But advice - for a player of strategy games - would be to go for the fastest CPU you can rather than the usual suggestion for gamers which is to spend more on the graphic card.

I'm getting one myself when I move later this year (my excuse).<br/>
<br/>
A game like the forthcoming galciv iii (if you're interested in that one) may benefit from the extra cores since it will have multi-threaded ai. But I don't think DW does?<br/>

Very much looking forward to this. Setting the mod post ME3 makes much more sense re: DW game mechanics.

You're right. Still happens without the mod if I select Humans.<br/>
<br/>
Before I reinstall. Am I missing something here ...

One thing I've noticed.

Generating a new game, my planet always has chromium, polymer, carbon fibre & racial resource (e.g. necros stone).

Is that a bug or rebalance?

My biggest concern is that it becomes unplayable after updates to PC operating systems in the future. It would be sad to let this game fade away because of incompatibility with future PCs.<e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

The music reminds me of john williams and some tv star trek scores. I can't exactly place any of the tracks tho. Just sounds in-the-style-of with some near-quoting/paraphrasing of tunes.

**I type too slow** ^^ What BlackAlpha says.

<t> I'd rather this mod didn't turn ideological. This is a game: each government type has to have advantages & disadvantages.<br/>
<br/>
Corporate Nationalism is fascism by another name. i.e. the government is organized like a large corporation. You have a 'board' made up of business leaders ...

The Mass Effect mod does this so I guess you could poke around in those files?

The intro movie plays fine for me with a 1680x1050 display (nvidia graphic card, win7).

No errors here when I revert to default theme from mass effect mod 2.1

-- There is one thing I'd like to ask. Is it possible to remove or replace the vanilla Human race?

So I don't have both the vanilla human and mod humans in the same game.

On behalf of the Citadel and allied races: The Council is honored to welcome the Ambassador Farrage as the new envoy from the UKIP Alliance?

... and I thought the Batarians were swivel eyed...

I just started a game and my home planet (as humans) has 4 natural resources plus some Quarians.

Thanks for doing this. Very much appreciated.
