  1. yes, i don't get the reason for doing this yet. they say it's because of VAT and similar stuff, but i did not understand why they have to pay VAT for it. there is nothing physical crossing any border - no product, no money, nothing. for e.g. the usa, the service belong to the country, all the wages belong the the country, all taxes and so on. even the product will belong to it, because most modern TOS grant you the right to play the game, but not to own it. so there is only a transfer of digital bytes, and i pay for the traffic to my isp. i also pay for exchanging euro to dollar. after all, i payed all my country based taxes before - and they don't have to care about what i'm doing with the money i saved on the top. they say, "hey cool new feature for our european fans - pay in euro now!" but the only "cool new feature" is the fact, that they are able to make more profit. and pumping more money in an economy for a product is some kind of an inflation. they don't have to do this - for e.g. banished has a fair price. 19.99$ from the developer page, 18.99€ steam and 14.99€ at humble bundle. the humble deal is fair, because they only "cleared" the price from 14.55€ up to 14.99€.
  2. no, humble store isn't for charity as i know
  3. yes, thats true - but it worked so far without euro as currency. now the new system is in and they immediate abuse it to squeeze the european customers. what do they try to tell us with such a behave? currency was created to have a fair base to pay. for example, 1 chicken egg will have the same price all over the world - no one will pay more or less for it (i know that this isn't true, but i think you'll get the idea behind it). so the manufacturer of a product will calculate its costs. after all, he says it's worth 15$ - with these 15$ we'll get all the cost we have and also a profit. so 15$ is enough for the manufacturer to stay save, pay wages, buy materials and sell products. So the whole world will pay the 15$, because it's enough for the manufacturer - instead of europeans. they have to pay 20$ because idk.
  4. Goodbye HB - we had a really good time! But now, you try to rip me like steam, origin and uplay. 15$ Starbound is now 14€ (which is actually 20$), 80 $ Crusader Kings is now 80€ (which is 110$) and so on. There is no difference anymore, congrats!

    i like to join too steam: cdrkeen http://steamcommunity.com/id/cdrkeen/
  8. such serious are most bavarian ppl and folks living near to austria. if you go up further to the north, they become very relaxed.
  9. i like austrians, two of my best friends are female twins from Hirschbach/Freistadt. Also my sister lives in Basel, Swiss. So i know that you ppl are more nationalistic than us germans. i wish i could be so too, but we raised without "nationality". actually i'm living here with ppl from 136 different countrys, and nobody cares about citizenship. we are open-mindet too bad that most of ppls knowledge about germany stuck at ww2. but i will tell you a secret nobody really understands, true story, good stuff for wikileaks - germany was the first country taken by hitler because he was no native german.
  10. Location: Germany Well, yes - we're totally screwed. Surrounded by 9 different countrys, 16 capitols with about 500k to 1mil ppl, mostly flat land with some rivers but no extra urban places. An advantage may be the good infrastructure and the accessibility to the north sea. I think most ppl will spread to the east/south and try to leave germany. Austria and Swiss for sure, maybe some will try England. Climate is our big advantage - you're able to grow plants the whole year - but anything else is worse
  11. Weapons? How did you spell that? We're totally demilitarised - but i have various things to throw, like cloths, furniture, flower pots or my neighbours cat.
  12. nice pictures in here! very cool to see the different styles. i ever tried to draw stuff - i got it in my clear head, but i'm unable to get the dimensions. but i'm good in directing and producing short movies of festivals and concerts and i'm also able to cut concerts for live tv. i'm doing this for over 10 years in an education for youths and interested people. we teach them how to use modern cameras and cutting and publishing stuff. were are working non-commercial - it's a platform for youth and people who aren't able to do "such stuff" because of various reasons. hard work without benefit, but much much love from the kids this is the latest trailer from last summer, the full movie about the festival is also there (warning - german language inside).
  13. found this cave - nice place to be
  14. Sim City - Cities of Tomorrow two middle mega towers in the back, a park and a theatre surrounded by high class apartments and a magnetic levitation railway and some other buildings (academy and major residence right side)
  15. holy moly! i did not found any green dragon yet!
  16. yes, both look great. but as you mentioned, time is the big point. so i hope some people will join like the last time. if 20 or more people are delivering blueprints we may get a well filled city in time
  17. Hi, as i remember, there was this huge "map mod" called "mega multi cell map mod" (by Ringod). it was a very huge map, with contend created by many people. i'm to lazy to map a whole city with its hinterland, but i like to create some building for myself. so will Ringod continue with a new mega "multi cell" map? is there something planned? edit: http://www.theindiestone.com/community/viewtopic.php%3Ff=29&t=4323.html (original post)
  18. Looks like re 1 - maybe someone will mod a short campaign for it
  19. i discontinued the mod because other people also worked on it - use dylan1313s mod instead
  20. for me as born in the eighties, this is godlike =)
  21. i'm still playing, but the balancing of this release is not good at all. does the meteor destroy the house? i survived a rain of falling stars =)
