It's all 0s and 1s. Playing a game when broken down, is simply reordering boolean. It has no application to life whatsoever: you are alive, so you have no need to play. Computers playing computers makes more sense.

In reality, nothing is affected by you playing, apart from the passage of time, and the lack of input into other problems and challenges you encounter in life.

It's one of the most ignorant things you can do.

Using escapism as an excuse, is simply burying your head in the sand, and won't let you find any further solutions to any dilemmas you have encountered.

The primitive part of your brain is the only thing controlling the desire to play: in my case, my post should read as the primitive part of my brain causing my to have an addiction to economy simulators, because they strike a conceptual appeal to the idea surrounding resource economies (no finance), which are much more viable and lack the volatility of a free financial market. Due to the passing recession, this would be a time to reinforce this concept, but no governments have participated in any action towards such a market.

What are you doing on this FORUM posting in a GAME's topic then?

Get a life.

I've translated the game's article into Turkish. I really like Settlers. I've first, second, third and the 10th year anniversary edition of the second.

Awesome

How do I expand my borders?

[arete]

Select any house, manor or castle nearest your border - make it a military outpost. Build a road to it. Once it's built, soldiers will be sent to it, and when they enter the building, your boders automatically expand. Repeat.

Be prepared for when enemy soldiers come and attack your outposts: If they kill all your soldiers, they walk into your building and it becomes theirs, and all your buildings around it burn down, so build multiple outposts and castles.

Catapults automatically destroy any enemy military buildings within reach, so keep them supplied with stone.

To make more soldiers, you need 1 sword, 1 shield and 1 beer. (Yes, the game was developed in Germany.) To train your soldiers, you need to send gold coins to them once they're in their building. Unfortunately, the game cheats so even low-level enemy soldiers kill my generals. Which is why I prefer Age of Empires 2 these days ;-)

Thank you very much!

Glad I could help for a change. Usually the games aren't ones that I'm familiar with *^^

Is it possible to play this game multiplayer with dosbox using direct IP connection?

Does anyone do this?
