Shopping on the Internet is getting more popular all the time, as consumers learn about the many benefits associated with online commerce. Not only are prices on the Internet often cheaper than those at local stores, but the selection of products is also wider and the whole experience much more efficient. While online shopping has been around for decades now, and certain things like software and technology have always sold well online, this has not been the case for all other industries.
When trying out any new sport for the first time it can be daunting, mind over matter is what eventually gets you through, and this is exactly what is needed when attempting to snowboard for the first time. This is why many ski resorts offer introductory courses to new comers, they arrange a sort of social gathering (which is a lot like a welcome meeting) and offer people the chance to learn about the sport, before getting on the slopes.

This may be to keep them up to date with the latest information or the newest advances in related technology.

Will shoppers be enticed by new ways of paying?
But regardless of the hype around NFC, the experience of one futuristic supermarket in Germany hints that consumers may need a lot more convincing before they change the way they shop.
"Our store was created as a 'living lab'", says Dr Gerd Wolfram, managing director of Metro Systems, part of the global supermarket chain that runs the Future Store.
His first big failure – a fingerprint payment system that no privacy-conscious Germans wanted to use – is particularly revealing in light of the current push towards mobile payments.
The fingerprint scanning machine is now collecting dust in the checkout section.
Does the same fate await the NFC machine, which will start accepting mobile phone payments as early as next month?
Speaking to shoppers at the Future Store, it is clear that many just see it as their local supermarket, rather than as a laboratory, and they want to be in and out as quickly as possible.
Clearly, if NFC is going to appeal to people such as Ms Reckin, then it will not only have to match credit cards and cash in terms of security and privacy, but also in terms of speed.
The Future Store already uses an iPhone app that is meant to speed up payment, but the app also reveals the pitfalls of bringing mobile phones into the shopping process.
Unlike other shopping list apps, Future Store's app lets you scan barcodes of items as you pick them off the shelves. When you finish shopping, the app generates a final bar code displayed on your phone, which you then scan at a self-service checkout.
The upside is that you spend less time in the noisiest and most stressful part of the supermarket – the tills.
But the problem lies with using your phone to scan bar codes, which demands both hands, and takes around 10 to 15 seconds even with an easy-to-hold item such as a bottle of wine.
Engineers working on the new NFC smartphone payment system should take note: 10 seconds of faffing around with a phone can seem like ages in a busy supermarket.

A wildfire scorched several acres Wednesday on the north side of Durant, forcing the Union Pacific Railroad to shut down its main line through the area for about two hours.
The fire started along the railroad tracks near a bridge over Chuckwa Creek and quickly spread to a brushy area between the railroad and Mineral Bayou. There were no structures in the area.
Durant Fire Department responded to the blaze at 3 p.m., dispatching a pair of brush firefighting trucks to the area. Access was an issue as firefighters had to drive to Armstrong and back south a few miles next to the tracks to get equipment to the scene.
According to a fire department report, the fire, that burned approximately five acres, may have been started by a train. Firefighters left the scene at 5:36 that evening.
Southern Oklahoma is at a greater risk of wildfires this week due to high winds, increasing temperatures and prolonged dry weather, according to the National Weather Service.
In other fires, firefighters were dispatched at 4:25 p.m. to Schuler Park at North Fourth Avenue and Poplar Street about playground equipment that was on fire. When firefighters arrived, they found a plastic slide that was on fire. The slide was a total loss. A cause of the fire was not disclosed and a person in the area told firefighters he had not seen anyone near the slide.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Lawyers for Coach Jim Boeheim and Syracuse University have filed a motion to have the court location moved for the defamation lawsuit against him.
Bobby Davis and Michael Lang, the two men accusing Bernie Fine of sexual abuse, announced in December that they were filing a civil lawsuit against SU's head coach and the University. The step-brothers claim that once their accusations were made public, they were defamed by Jim Boeheim, who said he believed the two were lying and trying to make money off the case. Attorneys filed a motion Tuesday to have the case moved from New York City to Syracuse.
Gloria Alred, who is representing Davis and Lang, says she is reviewing their motion to change venue, but says they filed in New York City because of "…concerns that the coach would have an unfair advantage in Syracuse where he is a local hero and the University is a local employer."

76ers Scoop: Rookie Arnett Moultrie has a shot to start tonight
PHILADELPHIA — With so many new players, potential combinations and newly available minutes, the Sixers were open to any possibility as they prepared for training camp. As they headed Wednesday to Orlando for their preseason opener today, there was this one: A rookie in the starting lineup.
Though Doug Collins would prefer to start veteran Kwame Brown along with Spencer Hawes up front in a two-big-man lineup, it's possible that 6-10, 230-pound Arnett Moultrie will start. That's because mild back spasms cost Brown some practice time this week, including a late-practice scrimmage Wednesday at the PCOM Center.
"I'll be ready for what they need," Moultrie said. "The big thing is defense on the help side — where to be on the court at all times."
Moultrie came to the Sixers from Mississippi State via the Miami Heat, who made him the No. 27 overall selection in the last draft with the intent of moving him immediately, which they did for 45th overall selection Justin Hamilton and a future first-round pick.
With the Sixers, Moultrie has benefited from several developments. One, preferred center Andrew Bynum is injured. Two, Brown has the back issue. And three, Collins wants to audition his big men in combos, and will be careful to align Hawes and Thad Young only with bigger, stronger players.
Since Collins wants to start Hawes, that left Moultrie to fill the potential Brown vacancy, with Young and Lavoy Allen playing the next frontcourt shift, almost hockey style.
"I wasn't sure how much he would get out of training camp," Collins said of Moultrie. "But I liked his energy. And he has been rebounding the ball. His next step is to get better lift on his jump shot, which is a little flat. But I like everything he is doing. I like his recognition. He and Maalik (Wayns) have been very, very special surprises for as well as they have done here early in camp."
Moultrie had reported an earlier ankle problem, but insists he is ready to go.
"I knew that camp would be a lot more intense than college basketball," he said. "But I prepared myself physically for that."
Collins expects Jrue Holiday, Evan Turner, Jason Richardson, Hawes and Brown in his lineup today. Continued...
● ● ●
The Sixers Wednesday waived guard Xavier Silas and forward center Mikki Moore, trimming their roster to 16.
"Xavier did a nice job for us," Collins said. "But the numbers were against him."
Moore, 36, has been bouncing around pro basketball since 1997, and Collins expects him to join the "D" League. If Moore does that, rather than take a job in Europe, the Sixers will continue to keep him in mind should the usual grind require some in-season frontcourt reinforcement.
● ● ●
In a scrimmage Wednesday, Turner played some point guard, even handling the ball while sharing some minutes with Holiday. Turner, Collins said, could be a backup point guard.
"Unless Maalik would slip into that rotation quick," the coach said. "Royal Ivey can play backup point guard. But if we have Dorell Wright out there with Evan, Evan definitely will have to do that and he is capable."
● ● ●
Collins is not worried about Brown's sore back.
"No, it's just a muscle spasm," he said. "What happens in training camp is that guys get beat up. And our big guys really have brought a physical element to our team. They have been active around the basket and there has been contact and it has been fun to see." Continued...
● ● ●
Though NBA training camps are relatively brief, Collins is ready to see his Sixers face unfamiliar competition.
"Yes, I am," he said. "It's like an NFL training camp, when guys get tired of getting hit and banged around by the same guy. It's like being in the seventh game of a playoff series — you are playing that seventh game and you remember that elbow that you got hit with in Game 1. Also from a coaching standpoint, I'd like to see our execution and look at different combinations, along with our defensive presence."
● ● ●
Wayns is looking forward to the possibility of matching up today against former Daily Times Player of the Year Jameer Nelson in a mini-Villanova-Saint Joseph's confrontation.
"I am really excited to play against him," he said. "I think all the guards from Philadelphia play a little bit alike, and I try to learn something from all of them. I have always enjoyed watching Jameer."

Allen Jones has worked as a wedding photographer and "wedding photojournalist" in the Louisville area since his studio opened in 1992, when weddings were invented. A member of Wedding and Portrait Photographers International and the Professional Photographers of America, Allen specializes in family, maternity, individual, and boudoir photography for couples who want to give each other a gift that can be used privately to spice up a romance or publicly to sink any future political ambitions. Even when not commemorating a major milestone in life (getting engaged, getting pregnant, graduating high school, placing in the regional knitting finals), a professional headshot can further the careers of actresses, authors, musicians, clowns, dancers, comedians, spontaneous combustionists, and other performers. Whatever reason you're saying cheese, Allen Jones will tailor your photo session accordingly. Afterward, he'll go through each shot with you and help you pick out the best one. After Allen finishes giving it a professional touch-up, you'll take home three prints.
Under the keen direction of Golden Streets Photography's friendly, professional photogs, you'll capture the still-life story that you aim to tell. Golden Streets' studio may be appropriate for senior portraits, and a beautiful outdoor locale, such as a well-maintained baseball field or a low-lit back alley, can provide a fitting backdrop for engagement photos or family shots. After the one-hour snap session, Golden Streets will provide two 8"x10" prints for oversized wallets and digital copies of the shoot stored on DVD or CD, giving you access and reproduction rights so you can print photos liberally at any local print shop. Likewise, you can use the digital copies to share frozen moments via the Internet.
Louisville native Jolea Brown earned her Bachelor's in photography at the University of Louisville, all while interning for Louisville Magazine. It's safe to say she knows her town, and can pick the perfect local backdrop for any family portrait shoot. She travels from spot to spot, immortalizing parents at play with their kids or a bride's big day. She also captures images in her studio, both for private and commercial clients, such as NBC, the American Lung Association, and the Kentucky Derby Museum.
VIP Cleaners restores threads with water-free solutions in the comfort of a small, independent shop. Pants, ties, comforters, and other everyday threads find themselves rejuvenated and ready to strut the closet red carpet, while the laundering of shirts leaves sleeves crisp and ready to embrace waiting arms. Bridal-gown-preservation services see the VIP staff carefully purifying dresses and placing them in specialized packaging that preserves them for future generations. The stain specialists also regularly refresh the theatrical costumes of the Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts, and make sure to provide commensurate care when cleansing the fanciful disguises of their everyday customers.
While the fraternity brethren milled about parties discussing Jack Kerouac and sipping cheap lagers, Jack Counts was busy working. In the late 60s, the entrepreneurial college student carved out a niche snapping his shutter during fraternity parties and selling prints dubbed Party Pics to members. Over time, Counts spread his business across multiple campuses, photographing graduation ceremonies and special events and processing the prints in his own lab, Candid Color Systems. With Glamour Shots, Counts' business yet again expanded from special-events photography to include portrait shoots with an emphasis on flattering female subjects.
At each Glamour Shots shoot, a brigade of expert shutterbugs and cosmetologists gets subjects ready for their close-ups with style-enhancing makeovers and photo shoots that result in high-quality pictures and prints. After a personal consultation with the styling team, clients undergo an airbrushing treatment and hair sculpting. Depending on their package, models strike up to 30 poses, quick-changing into different outfits to capture a spectrum of looks, from professional career woman to professional career woman in a bear costume.
Clients pour over proofs immediately after their session, and a professional lab generates each print on quality Kodak paper within 10 to 12 days after the session, with touchup services available to display pristine complexions. Shots are available in a variety of product forms, including prints, calendars, photo books, and canvas wraps. To ensure that none of the photos evaporates from living memory, a slideshow presentation houses the proofs of the entire day's shoot and sets it to music or field recordings of yaks performing Beethoven.
Seven days a week, the partner laundromats hum with the whirring of high-efficiency washers and dryers. Boasting more than 30 years of business, the Chevy Chase location fields a skilled staff that erases blights from duds with 46 single, double, and triple-load washers and 28 dryers, and enables patrons to convert bills into coins with convenient onsite change machines. The laundromat purveys soap, bleach, and fabric softeners. The staff augments this shopping-while-washing experience by entertaining waiting guests with video games, complimentary WiFi, and—remarkably—a standup tanning bed, inside of which, naturally, is a comedian. Alternatively, the Suds 'N Duds location boasts advanced credit-card-operated machinery that washes loads of up to 90 pounds at a time in as little as 40 minutes and treats freshly bathed garments to a complimentary dry. The laundromats also grant customers a free dry with every wash and offer reward points, which—when saved up—can be exchanged for money to use on washing machines and drying machines.
In addition to self-service laundry, both locations offer same-day drop-off services. Their professional staff sorts, washes, and dries clothing using premium detergent and softeners before folding them into neat piles or intricate seersucker airplanes.

Written by PETA
Update: After meeting with PETA and reviewing our evidence, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) inspected Triple F Farms and confirmed our findings of multiple Animal Welfare Act violations. The USDA's inspection report details, among other atrocities, that newborn ferrets fell through gaping wire cage bottoms and that ferrets were denied adequate food, water, and veterinary care and subjected to major surgeries performed by improperly trained lay employees in unsanitary conditions. Triple F is now under federal investigation. Read the full report to learn about the rest of the USDA's findings.
Original Blog posted September 2nd, 2011:
Personnel with the USDA have inspected Triple F Farms, Inc., a massive ferret-breeding factory farm near Sayre, Pennsylvania, based on evidence that PETA recently presented to the agency following a nearly four-month-long undercover investigation that blew the lid off sickening abuse and neglect of thousands of ferrets there. Bradford County District Attorney Dan Barrett's office reviewed a complaint filed by PETA and has now begun an investigation of Triple F.
PETA found that Triple F's owners, supervisors, and workers left ferrets with bleeding rectal prolapses, gaping wounds, herniated organs, painful mammary gland infections, and ruptured, bleeding eyes to suffer and die without veterinary care. Triple F forbade workers, including PETA's investigator, to rescue thousands of newborn and young ferrets—who had fallen through wire cage bottoms 3 feet to the concrete floor below—from accumulated piles and puddles of waste, where the animals were left to perish.
Day after day, at least 6,000 ferrets were confined to filthy, severely crowded cages in stifling-hot barns, with hundreds denied food and water. PETA's investigator witnessed workers who stepped on ferrets, buried them in feces, and threw them into an incinerator alive. Triple F employees cut organs and anal sacs out of inadequately anesthetized ferrets, who cried out in pain.
The animals who make it out of this hellhole alive face even more misery because Triple F sells ferrets to laboratories around the world for experimentation as well as to pet shops, including Petland. Triple F has had recent contracts worth nearly $2 million with federal agencies, including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Navy.
PETA is calling for appropriate criminal charges. We've also filed complaints with five other federal and state agencies, including one regarding Triple F's routine exposure of live ferrets to ferret carcasses.
Please help these ferrets by asking CDC director Thomas Frieden to investigate Triple F and determine whether the agency wishes to continue to funnel millions of taxpayer dollars into abusive animal mills like Triple F. Check back for more updates as this case unfolds.

Kid Rock once again demonstrated his support for U.S. troops on Saturday evening as he teamed up with Pulte Homes and a nonprofit assisting wounded veterans to present a new home to a Macomb County Army veteran who lost the lower part of his right leg in combat in Afghanistan.
Mount Clemens native Sgt. Davin Dumar and his wife, Dana, were surprised as they walked into a model home only to see Kid Rock along with friends, relatives, the media and others waiting to greet them as they will receive a mortgage-free 2,600-square-foot colonial home near 22 Mile Road and Hayes in Macomb Township.

text: With more structure than seasons past, Rachel Zoe infused her signature nods to boho with a sharper, equestrian-inspired feel for Fall '13. That's not to say that you won't get that '70s vibe that Zoe owns on and off the runway, but the silhouettes we've come to expect from the designer are redone with a crisper, sharper eye. Flares are paired with cropped, structured blazers; dresses are tight, short, and clean; and nothing floats or hangs. The looks are purposefully tailored and tough to reflect Rachel's inspiration points, which draw from London, menswear, and a more androgynous girl. Her glam-rock style is done in small doses of gold, like sequins (but this time on tomboy shorts), or with Baroque prints on key-hole cutout blouses — but this is, predominately, a more polished lineup with a succinct black, white, and camel palette.

1 Hezekiah's Illness 1 38:1-8pp — 2Ki 20:1-11; 2Ch 32:24-26
1 In those days Hezekiah became ill and was at the point of death. The prophet Isaiah son of Amoz went to him and said, "This is what the Lord says: Put your house in order, because you are going to die; you will not recover."
2 Hezekiah turned his face to the wall and prayed to the Lord, 3 "Remember, O Lord, how I have walked before you faithfully and with wholehearted devotion and have done what is good in your eyes." And Hezekiah wept bitterly.
4 Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah: 5 "Go and tell Hezekiah, 'This is what the Lord, the God of your father David, says: I have heard your prayer and seen your tears; I will add fifteen years to your life. 6 And I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria. I will defend this city.
7 " 'This is the Lord's sign to you that the Lord will do what he has promised: 8 I will make the shadow cast by the sun go back the ten steps it has gone down on the stairway of Ahaz.' " So the sunlight went back the ten steps it had gone down.
9 A writing of Hezekiah king of Judah after his illness and recovery:
10 I said, "In the prime of my life 10 must I go through the gates of death[a] 10 and be robbed of the rest of my years?"
11 I said, "I will not again see the Lord, 11 the Lord, in the land of the living; 11 no longer will I look on mankind, 11 or be with those who now dwell in this world.[b]
12 Like a shepherd's tent my house 12 has been pulled down and taken from me. 12 Like a weaver I have rolled up my life, 12 and he has cut me off from the loom; 12 day and night you made an end of me.
13 I waited patiently till dawn, 13 but like a lion he broke all my bones; 13 day and night you made an end of me.
14 I cried like a swift or thrush, 14 I moaned like a mourning dove. 14 My eyes grew weak as I looked to the heavens. 14 I am troubled; O Lord, come to my aid!"
15 But what can I say? 15 He has spoken to me, and he himself has done this. 15 I will walk humbly all my years 15 because of this anguish of my soul.
16 Lord, by such things men live; 16 and my spirit finds life in them too. 16 You restored me to health 16 and let me live.
17 Surely it was for my benefit 17 that I suffered such anguish. 17 In your love you kept me 17 from the pit of destruction; 17 you have put all my sins 17 behind your back.
18 For the grave[c] cannot praise you, 18 death cannot sing your praise; 18 those who go down to the pit 18 cannot hope for your faithfulness.
19 The living, the living—they praise you, 19 as I am doing today; 19 fathers tell their children 19 about your faithfulness.
20 The Lord will save me, 20 and we will sing with stringed instruments 20 all the days of our lives 20 in the temple of the Lord.
21 Isaiah had said, "Prepare a poultice of figs and apply it to the boil, and he will recover."
22 Hezekiah had asked, "What will be the sign that I will go up to the temple of the Lord?"

Elemental has rally points.
Oh, you guys don't get them. There's no UI for it presently. But they're there. Just like in Galactic Civilizations but much more sophisticated.
Did I mention you guys don't get them right now?
One of the things I've been working on is getting the AI to use them in ways far beyond what I've done in GalCiv or other AI's before. Using rally points intelligently (and without using a lot of CPU time) is a serious trick.
Now, in the screenshot above, the AI's archer army is building up just outside of town even though those armies had to collect together from a very long way away.
While simple on the surface to do, there's a lot of thought that has to go into making this work (otherwise, the player could just figure out where the rally points are and station an army there ready to pick them off, there's a lot of timing involve to make sure units aren't vulnerable long).
How about an enchantment spell that turns the units loyalty to your opponent. The other sovereign would have to reverse the spell before disbanding. The more mana you add to the spell the higher the cost to disband.
If the AI isn't smart enough to know whether a quest is too difficult, doesn't that potentially mean the AI could end up with a bunch of negative trait champions (which is probably better than dead champions but still...)?
I do like the idea of negative traits but worry the AI could be hamstrung...
Maybe the champion should be unavailable for x number of turns as well, healing up in a medical tent or something. It would be annoying to defeat a tough champion just to fight him again the next turn possibly healed up with some potions and just a negative trait as punishment.
Death trait suggestions:
Crippled: Unit can only use one arm/hand. -10 strength.
Lame: Unit can only move 1 tile / round. -10 dodge.
Blind (loses an eye): -10 accuracy.
Mangled: -10 charisma
Drain Bamaged: -10 int.
edit: There ought to be circumstances where a champion can die outright, however, without a chance of resurrection. Like if they get struck dead-on by a ballista bolt or a super-massive fireball. Maybe if they sustain an injury which damages them for more than 50% of their total hp and it puts them at or below 0 hp they have a chance, adjusted by CON, of dying.
Jeez people, you sure jump on the suggestion bandwagon quickly. Remember what Derek said: Simple systems that cooperate.
First thing I thought of was the WarCraft III system: When the hero die you pay and wait a while for him to resurrect. That may not be a great enough sacrifice though (especially in lategame) but time definetly is. The higher the lvl of the hero the more time until he's resurrected.
Now, we can have a complicated system with negative traits and stuff but you have to make sure it works. And considering they're close to BETA I doubt there's time to think out and implement such a system.
Ah yes, the original topic was about rallypoints (funny that all the Sneak Peak discussions drift of into something else by page 2 and 3....).
Whatever works and doesn't cheat.
Well, what's being suggested is really a modification of an existing system: the trait system already exists.
The amount of work necessary to expand that to allow additional traits to be added on death isn't as much as it might seem, and is a far more interesting and fun system than "My champion died, now I have to pay [x] gilar and wait [x] minutes". While it might be self-balancing, it's also pretty boring.
I like the idea - risk too much, and your champion is basically going to be detrimental to anything he's attached to. It's great.
I'd like to add that the way the Champion dies should have some degree of impact on which trait he/she receives upon death.If they're killed with Fire Magic, perhaps they gain a weakness to Fire Magic? If they are killed by a normal unit, perhaps their healing rate drops? Something along those lines, to make it more predictable.
"I'd like to add that the way the Champion dies should have some degree of impact on which trait he/she receives upon death.If they're killed with Fire Magic, perhaps they gain a weakness to Fire Magic?

I really like this, it really would tell a story, 'you see an enemy general comin at ya, he's only got one eye & walks with a limp, & looks like Vader after the lava incident, but glowing from head to toe with magic items leading an army of battle hardened elite soldiers right towards your capitol'
Brad, could I direct your attention to your buggy post http://draginol.joeuser.com/article/412778 (Solar Power, First Month) which has been the main factor in your feed generating 546 articles in my feed reader, Google Reader, in the past 30 days? That one post has been copied into my feed so much that it is more common than the next-biggest contributor to my feed, Ars Technica's Journals.
Seriously, 546 articles! Almost 20 times a day, getting that same duplicate post!
Please could you stop the madness? Get JoeUser fixed, delete the post, something? Please?
I think traits should be coupled. Each positive trait should have a negative one that you would have a chance of getting on death. A simpler solution that would be quickly adopted.
Inventive ideas everyone but shouldn't the hero resurrection mechanics be reserved only for the Adventure tech path? Couldn't the negative scar traits lead to XP farming the AI for the player? Every time you kill him he gets weaker but you still get the same XP because the level has not changed. So if a hero has 20 scars then he essentially becomes a level one in strength who's giving the XP reward of a level 10.
So instead I propose we could replace the dead hero with a new level 1 replacement that he had inspired with his act of heroic martyrdom. The replacement would need to be preset to the slain hero's levelup tree to prevent any cheese.
Defeated warriors should get traits like, losing an eye, or an arm, severe wound, or even medieval PTSD and then you might have to do an expensive spell to heal them, or even send them on a quest to get the bad trait removed. I like the idea of there being a set number of champions that are in a sense, immortal. They don't die, they can get hurt, but not killed. When their kingdom/empire is destroyed, they become free agents again.
What about champions that hate each other, so that if some champion is allied to you, some other champions will refuse to join you.
It would be nice to see stuff from the old Romance of the Three Kingdoms games. Characters had personality traits, friends, rivals. I doubt FE is going to have or need an in depth system like that, but I always loved it. Also, rivals/friends only really work when you have TONS of characters, like Romance's 700+, if an FE game is only going to have a dozen or so champions in it, then its a hindrance gameplay wise to have rivals of the same faction. BUT, in romance rivals were IN the same kingdom, and competed with each other, and made some fun game mechanics, like when a new ruler was to be chosen...(know that will never happen in FE).
Also, All of these rulers may seem "Immortal" But aren' they all dead in a few hundred years time? Are we going to find out what happened to them in campaigns?
I differ here, I do not want a 'set' number of champions, this limits the game too much without some way to make our own (I am not good at making mods but quite fair at making maps)
When they bring back dynasties it would possibly cause an overload of heros having them never die, & perhaps dynasties is where the ability to 'build' your own heros could come in.
IF they bring back the dynasty idea, a lot of things would have to change anyway.
I don't like immortality. Limited mortality for important characters is a positive thing, but if a champion can never die, that's silly and robs us of a goodly portion of the thrill of combat.
They should be free agents after the defeat of their empire, sure. Champions should also be able to defect, but that should be very rare, only a couple times in a long game. That way when it does happen it's more compelling. This could also be related to a captive system; captivated champions could be given an opportunity to defect in addition to things like interrogation, ransoming, and execution.
I like Romance of the Three Kingdoms stuff. That is probably a post-FE thing though, since relationship frameworks are essentially a more broad form of dynasties, and making dynasties interesting is a post-FE goal. But yeah, personal friendships and rivalries would be great. Personality traits could probably work passable-fine in the current framework, though of course I don't know enough about it to say definitively.
New rulers aren't chosen in FE, but there's still interesting gameplay that could exist regarding that. If Stardock does choose to go down that road (which I think they ought to, turning champions into interesting characters should be a priority in my opinion), then they could have us appointing a champion as governor of a city. Masters of Orion did this well, but in FE's case the governor would be a character who can move about on the main map and fight, and who is a part of other friend/rival and dynasty systems. Potentially there could be penalties (or lessened bonuses, rather) associated with keeping a city's governor away for too long.
I would like to see the way heroes work in the beta. The only game breaking element will be a total loss of spells if your heroes die. If I am attacking the AI, I would always target their heroes at the beginning of the war, holding mine back until they can no longer use any magic. I don't care how this problem is solved, but it could ruin the magic system if not kept in check.
My problem is, that limited number of champions that can be killed will suck. There isn't going to be dynasties, that has been said. As far as I know the game isn't going to keep repopulating the world with champions. They each require a quest or some action to hire. Limited in number. Them dying as easily as a group of namleess grunts, would be worthless and easy for the player to exploit against the AI.
Bringing any dead champion back to life could require a sizeable offering. Enough materials / gold / population that making the sacrifice really stings. So much that if your kingdom is already on the ropes, there's no way that you could bring champions back, so they are essentially "dead for good". But if you have a strong enough kingdom, your champions are essentially immortal.
imo set amount of champions with the option to bring back champions from the dead using a spell and start them at lvl 1 again..
Brad, judging from your posts it sounds like you're having some brain busting difficultly with the game's AI.
To cut down a chunk out of your work, why not restrict tactical battle confrontations to special unit and hero lead armies only?
This opens up more time with focus on other AI pursuits and it comes out as a feature because a hero is now more *cough* heroic.
Edit: make that Rockstar Heroic.

20-21 Visual Arts Centre
Church Square
Local authority run website
General enquiries
01724 297070
01724 297080
20-21 is a contemporary visual arts centre located in the centre of Scunthorpe.
The arts centre has a regularly changing programme of contemporary art and craft exhibitions. There are five exhibition spaces, including the impressive Nave gallery inside the former St. John's church and an outdoor sculpture courtyard.
Venue Type:
Simon Woolham The Wanderer
Simon Woolham is concerned with public and private spaces and the stories that unfold in them, often working with the simplest of materials such as biro on A4 paper. His work is delicate, enchanting and often unsettling, unearthing memories from the places we use or overlook in our everyday lives. He depicts tree stumps, broken fences and areas of grasslands
spaces and objects are full of meaning and have a tale to tell, a tale Simon seeks to unearth and attempt to tell through his work.
More recently Simon has been working on a series of pop-up drawings and a new hand-cut pop-up book. Often including words and text the works inhabit the space between two and three dimensions, transforming folded paper into emotive sites for memory and recollection.
For this new exhibition Simon has spent a week occupying the front-of-house and behind the scenes areas of 20-21 Visual Arts Centre. Interviewing the staff, recording sounds and collecting stories, his aim is to build a picture of the building from the memories and recollections of those that have had it as their workplace over the last 10 years. From these discussions he has made a new series of drawings and pop-up paper artworks that will be on display alongside soundworks, drawings and prints.

Jason Carlisle Portraits
Jason Carlisle won the 20-21 Open exhibition in 2011. His clear painterly talent and the way his portraits instantly grabbed the viewer's attention impressed the judges, offering him first prize and an exhibition at 20-21 Visual Arts Centre.
Jason was born in Cleethorpes and has been painting and drawing since childhood. Painting young and old alike, his depictions are full of character and charm. Working mainly from his home studio he paints friends and family, as well as working on commissions. Whether it be a fresh-faced youngster or the creviced and age-worn face of a subject in their later years Jason's striking portraits have enchanted gallery visitors across the region.
Jason says of this work "My biggest thrill is to create the sitter in oils on canvas, make or break with the stroke of a brush".

Pippa Llewellyn and Heather Pickwell The Lineaments of a Coast
Heather Pickwell sculpts biomorphic-like forms from rope. Working with the nature and twist of the rope and her own intuition, her sculptures are poetic explorations into the imperceptible growth of plant and cells, the incremental growth observed in shells and coral and the explosive growth of mutating organisms.
Pippa Llewellyn 's paintings explore landscapes. Forms, some boat-like and others less distinct, emerge from canvases that aim to harbour a vitality, sensuousness and lyrical richness.
Although the works of both artists is inextricably linked to the Humber and Lincolnshire coastlines where their makers live and work, they present paintings and sculptures that are not necessarily bound to any a particular place
alluding to an undiscovered place where the forces of nature, and characteristics of land, sea and sky reside.
Free with admission
Signs for Sounds
Signs for Sounds is a major new exhibition that explores the contemporary practice of letter-forming from traditional calligraphy to the use of digital technologies and performance art.
Featuring examples of outstanding skill in letter-forming by leading practitioners, this exhibition explores how writing communicates meaning and how this is changing with the use of new media in the digital age. Exhibitors include letter-engraver Tom Perkins, calligrapher Ewan Clayton and performance artist Julien Breton, who dances letterforms using light.
The exhibition features artists who concentrate on or create the text we see every day, from traditional letter carving to modern day text speak, alongside work by more unexpected exhibitors such as graffiti artist Bunny Bread and Ina Saltz who looks at words tattooed on the skin.
Performance calligrapher Timothy Donaldson will be producing a new artwork in the gallery on Saturday 25 May.
Signs for Sounds is a Harley Gallery touring exhibition curated by Jeremy Theophilus.
