It doesn't bite you if you don't taunt it. Snakes and spiders don't go around biting people for no reason - at least yet.

Hey guys. I need some urgent assistance from anyone who can help me out. I just got my computer back from the repair shop only to find out that the problem is being caused by my graphics card. To put it bluntly, its done its time. Only three years old but its done its time

Unfortunately I was also told that the my graphics card is a bloody expensive one. This one to be precise:

http://www.inno3d.com/products/graphic_card/gf9/9800gtx_plus_dht.htm

And heres where it gets tricky. No matter where I look or what search engine I use I cant seem to find this card for sale anywhere, and im afraid I know very little about spec to be honest. Could someone please direct me to a card that is on par or even better than my old one? Or perhaps even the same one? Im willing to spend quite a bit, no more than £300 though.

That card isn't all that impressive really. Judging by that you've got a PCI-E card slot which will work with most any modern card.
You have plenty of options.

my graphics cards have been dying on me for the last 2 years, whenever they do, i put them in the oven for a while and let all the joints melt back together. Its kept my computer going for 2 years. If ur up to the point where the safety of the card doesnt matter anymore, try just roasting it and seeing if it will work.

Meh. Im just going by what the repair guy told me. Its quite good to hear that its not that good tbh. At least that way i'll have an easier time replacing it. Any good suggestions?

Well with a budget of 300 pounds you could get a damn nice card to be sure. I'll have to wait until I get home to find one though.

Anyone else notice that we have over 10,000 posts on the forum

We've come a long way havn't we?

Yes we did. I am surprised we are lasting this long, as human psychology would say such thing is improbable. I do hope we keep doing this for some more years.

And also note that some people here have written more than 1000 posts themselves.

Riding the thin line between "This is fun!" and "I need other hobbies...."

Reading alots in these forums, but still sort of confused and new to this thing. So far cant find any active events i could join, can anyone help me with that? ^^

Best thing would be to report to your chapter house board ("Order of the Ebony Gauntlet") and post there, asking Tubby McChubbles, your superior officer, what tasks he has for you.

ok thanks

Sooo I finally managed to conquer Pendor, but destroying all the minor factions is a pain.

if I do meet all the victory conditions, what happens?

you get a nice victory screen

Is it worth it?

Depends, personally I can never play all the way through. I enjoy the journey to my own kingdom and domination of most of Pendor, then I quit and start a new game .

If you like finishing things up, and just plan on finishing the game, then it depends what you think.

Might as well do it once. Gives you a sense of accomplishment that you ended all the wars.

All my lords hate me because they are greedy bastards, so I guess 'completing' the game requires them to tolerate/like me as well :-D

I only get honorable lords. It helps with that a lot.

I can't find the download link for 3.5 , I must be stupid but could someone please post the link?

Aah I need an account to download it

btw the 3.011 version gave an error about a missing file?

Thanks

Ask about it on the TW forums, they can give more support there than I can here.

oh I just thought that I should at least tell.. I didn't need that version, so deleted it right after.
