I actually think the unique victory conditions for the "non-state actors" (e.g., the Lutheran player for sure...and one might argue the Papacy is as well (not technically true--they are still a state, albeit a small one) are incredibly innovative. You already cover the English issue well enough. This system shows promise in simulating "post modern" conflicts today--and is thus a ground breaking design, marrying the venerable old SPI A MIGHTY FORTRESS with Card Driven Game (CDG) design (leading to a very dynamic game experience).

It did play on linux so there is some odd difference between my computer and your's. <BR/><BR/>Cracking it open I see it's encoded at 16kHz sample rate 32kbps stereo format which is a bit unusual but is supported.<BR/><BR/>My final solution was to use TotalRecoder to convert it to something my system is happy with.<BR/><BR/>"<I>PS.

Euroland for quite some time (years!) but have been introducing some co-workers to Wargames like <I>Hammer of the Scotts</I>. Next up <I>Hannibal</I>. The Euro's are fun with the couples crowd but they are clearly less filling.<BR/><BR/>I recently purchased <I>FAB: Bulge</I> and <I>Manoeuvre</I> (which my wife plays).<BR/><BR/>Like you guys mentioned on the first podcast, I really love these games but I pretty much suck at them. This is probably because I don't play enough and so many more shiny new games come out of the pipeline every year!<BR/><BR/>Regarding sound quality and doing podcast's from remote locations... you might want to get some tips from <I>The Linux Links Tech Show</I> podcast. They do their entire show from different locations it is pretty good quality.<BR/><BR/>I'm looking forward to more podcasts!<BR/><BR/>DaleUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911205676150817593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578486982280561058.post-60056552874321494722008-05-09T11:26:00.000-07:002008-05-09T11:26:00.000-07:00Hi Dale,Thanks a lot for listening.

We both listen with headphones, and it didn't occur to us that other people have their own way to do things until we started getting feedback :) We'll keep trying to make it better.<BR/><BR/>Regarding #2 not playing, I just downloaded a fresh copy from the site and it played on my PC, so you may have to try another download.

Unfortunately the episode 2 MP3 won't play on my system at all. Episode 1 volume is much lower than other podcasts I listen too. I had to crank my MP3 player AND car stereo way up to hear it.<BR/><BR/>Is this just me having these issues?<BR/><BR/>Dale (CyberBoard guy) LarsonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07911205676150817593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578486982280561058.post-86289505640057595212008-04-29T12:32:00.000-07:002008-04-29T12:32:00.000-07:00Paul-I noticed this before in your Dice Tower piec...Paul-<BR/><BR/>I noticed this before in your Dice Tower pieces. Are you using an audio tool to crop the spaces between words? If so, you are cutting them a little too much. There are very few pauses in your recording. (Only on your solo pieces- the conversation is normal).<BR/><BR/>Your natural speaking rythym becomes a long run-on sentence, and it makes it very awkward to listen to.<BR/><BR/>Just FYI.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08916956444615849081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8578486982280561058.post-33295006784321433562008-04-23T17:26:00.000-07:002008-04-23T17:26:00.000-07:00Preacher--I'll talk to Tom about it.
