Q: What's the precise effect of Inferno Propellant upgrade for the Galleon Mortar?

AntoWell, everything's in the title. The description line seems a bit incomplete about that upgrade: Inferno Propellant (Bombs Create Damage Fields) What's the exact effect of these damage fields ? Any idea about the damage per second ? Does it slow down enemies (the graphic representat...

So, I was reviewing the suggested edit to this question, and decided to improve it by re-adding the xbox-360 tag. When I tried to submit that improvement, it said that I didn't change anything
Does the system not recognize tag editing as a modification?

murgatroid99
@DaveMcClelland It looks like it already has that tag

Does adding an @PersonsName in question comments do anything mechanically (like how it flags the message for you in chat), or is it just a common way of letting someone know you're responding to them?

@OrigamiRobot the part where you upgrade your "main place" (town hall/etc.) to unlock the next "level" of stuff is pretty commonly called "ages" in RTSs set in that era

@Wipqozn I liked AoE 3.
I have somewhat unconventional preferences in RTS'es though. I also like Company of Heroes and Rise of Nations
I don't play them multiplayer much. I played some MP CoH vs CPU
If I remember correctly, in AoE you leveled up in the skirmish mode, which meant that you could 'customize' your army to an extent and choose from a variety of benefits at points in the game. that's kind of unusual about it, I suppose.

@OrigamiRobot both, really

@Ullallulloo amen.
@IanPugsley SMAC != RTS
that's turn-based strategy

@OrigamiRobot The first is from like the stone age to the Romans, roughly; the second's from the stone age to the medieval period; and the third's from about 1500 to about 1800.
Rise of Nations goes from the stone age to modern times.

@DavidB I got it pretty early, I think my birthday was right after it came out or something. It wasn't terribly broken at release. Civ4 had some pretty serious performance issues when it first came out, but there were some good 3rd party patches and some decent support after the fact.

@DavidB I think civ4 had spies that did similar things. I don't think you could take over a city with them (I think that was viewed as being OP or something?) but you can do other spy-ish things in civ4.

Q: Is it possible to play the Back to Karkand maps in regular Conquest mode?

Bryson DudaWhenever I try to play Conquest (either via quick match or the server browser) on the Back to Karkand maps, I always end up playing Conquest Assault. Is there a way to play regular Conquest on these maps? If so, is it possible to filter out Conquest Assault when choosing a server?

Q: Extra mana for no apparent reason

TudwellI just closed Dungeon Defenders last night with about 8m mana in the bank; I'd had it open, mostly idle, for a few days. I opened it up today and had 28 million. Does anyone have any idea how that could happen?

Don't try to put the RAM in backwards, it won't work.
@Tristan Jeff Atwood did it because it's cheaper to buy a second card than one giant new card.

The problem with using Dual GPUs is that you only get a fractional improvement from the second card.
