Nancy Eckerson: Running can bring peace
Sunday, April 21, 2013
Runners are men and women, young and old, veterans with decades of miles on their legs and beginners just finding out the pleasure of running a mile.
For the big races, the marathons, there are months and sometimes years spent preparing. Day after day we slip out the door to train, grateful for the ability to run and run long, to push ourselves to and past our limits. We run through cold and heat and rain and wind and somehow love every minute of it. And our families and friends are always there to support us, asking us how training is going, how today's run felt. They are there to celebrate with us on race day, to share in the joy of the achievement.
A fund has been set up by Massachusetts Governor Patrick and Mayor Menino of Boston to help the people most affected by the bombings; please see this link for all information: http://onefundboston.org/

How Tuface Proposed to Me- Annie Macaulay Speaks
"And when I got to Lagos that day, he was like 'let's go to the club.' When we got to the club, the place was totally empty. Obviously confused, I asked him, "baby, what are we doing here, it's empty" and before I turned back, my brothers and friends showed up. I was so perplexed that I had to ask what everybody was doing around there and they said they heard we were there and they came. Click to continue.
"Just about few minutes after, Tuface picked up the microphone and I thought he was going to do all the normal hypes he does when he goes to the club. But he shocked me. He started saying things about how I have always been there for him since day one. How I have sacrificed alot for him. How I have cried and stood strong during his trying moments.
The truth is, he said so many things I can't remember now. He said so many wonderful things that sent me into another world and I couldn't even hear the other things he said.
"I didn't even know when he walked up to me and he said "Please, will you marry me?" And I was like, "Can you imagine? What's going on here?" he was saying so many things that I can't even remember. It all blew my head.
"Although, it has not been easy since we had our traditional marriage. The truth is, it is not easy to be married to a superstar but I still live my normal life. Right now, I feel 24 hours is not enough for me because I have my husband, my daughter and myself to take care of. It has really been crazy and God knows I have been trying my best. I wish I have more time to handle all of this.
"Just because of the lack of time, I haven't been able do my normal acting jobs. I would still go on to do it soon because my husband is very supportive of my career and everything I do. As a married woman, I would be more selective with the roles I take now. I would do away from controversial roles but that doesn't mean if I see a good storyline I wouldn't do it.
"One of the reasons I would be careful with the roles I take up now is because I am married. And when you are married you have to be able to manage your career such that it won't affect your home front. In any case, you need to learn some tips which will help you carry on in the marriage. But before that, you need to be sure that the man loves you as much as you love him.
Even if it is not as much as you love him, but be sure he loves you. You also need to be patient. Men are like babies and babies are very annoying. You need to scold them but you should pamper them more. You need to work on yourself so that you can be proud of yourself. Don't fake anything.
"Very soon, Tuface and I plan to do our white wedding and you will all be invited and even though it will be something quiet. We don't want to make too much noise about it. We just want a beautiful and memorable event."

Lucabracee, I don't agree with the age range, young posh couples, wealthy parents bits at all. I think BN can feature anyone they want. I just feel the din is a tad much. IMO, she is trying to settle scores by going all out. All the best to them. There is a long life after the wedding. I have this feeling that the people she's fraternising with will happily twist a knife in her back when she's not looking. I hope I am wrong.Delete
haaa i hope you follow the feature..i know there are some who dont fit the age range but more than 90% are in that are range o,pls check well anytime you r on there..you will also hardly find any of the couples who dont have wealthy backgrounds…the story always invariably goes like we met in corona,adesoye,and lost contact later on we met in the uk/usa where something something ajumogobia was studying for her masters in oxford and somethn somethn dasuki was working at price waterhousecooper or accenture,have you seen any of the pics or interviews being done in a bungalow in oshodi or iyana ipaja?i haven't o lol

Thousands of Houstonians got an early start on their holiday shopping after some stores opened Thanksgiving night for Black Friday bargains.
Walmart opened at 10 p.m. Thursday and offered doorbuster deals on toys, home accessories and clothing to lure in shoppers. However, low-priced electronics were not offered until 12 a.m. Friday.
Toys R Us opened its doors at 9 p.m. on Thanksgiving. Hundreds of people were lined up for hours before the doors opened.
Midnight was the new opening bell for some of the biggest retailers. Best Buy, Macy's, Target and Kohl's all welcomed die-hard shoppers at 12 a.m. -- the earliest they have ever opened for the busiest shopping day of the year.
The manager of the Best Buy store near the Galleria said 3,600 people were in line when the store opened.
"It was absolutely worth it," shopper Peter Loftspring said. "You come, you get it done, we'll go have breakfast. We are done."
Many of those hundreds of people who lined up outside Best Buy wanted to get a 42-inch TV that retails for $500 on sale for $199. Most stores quickly sold out of them.
Apple discounted some of its products on Black Friday.
"Apple doesn't go down on their products for any special reasons, but they did today," shopper James Vera said."If we're going to buy them, might as well buy them today.
Sears and JC Penney opened at 4 a.m., as it has done in the past.
"Boots for $29.99 at JC Penney and all kinds of stuff," one shopper said.
Mall parking lots across the city were packed throughout the day.
Many shoppers said they were out at midnight and into the afternoon.
"There's lots of sales going on. You have to be here to get them or you lose out," one shopper said.
Black Friday can bring in big bucks for retailers, even during a recession.
The average American spent $365.34 on Black Friday in 2010, with overall sales adding up to $45 billion, according to the National Retail Federation.

Meghan Linen Blazer
Style # 211962

- 73% linen, 24% polyamide, 3% spandex
- Center back to hem: 23" (58 cm)
- Sleeve length: 19" (48 cm)
- Spandex lining
- Shoulder pads
- Dry clean

- Model is 5'9" and is wearing a US size 6
- As seen in the April 2013 mailer
Rated 5 out of 5�by 3 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by JustSelena Cute and versatile This jacket is very flaterring and versatile. It won't go out of style anytime soon, and it goes with anything - jeans, dresses or skirts in practically any color. I think it runs a bit small - I usually wear XXS, 00 or 0 in Bebe sizes, and this blazer in 0 fits well. July 11, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by CutieHoney Hit!! I love this jacket!! It fits great and very nice material!! Good job on this, BEBE! Please keep up the products like this! June 1, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by fashionista98 Nice fitted jacket I dislike linen clothes since they look wrinkled once you put them on, right? But this one wasn't bad at all. I bought the size 00 because I like the fitted-tailored look even though size 0 fit me just fine. I was very surprised that this jacket didn't look wrinkled except around the lower arms' area which is where the wrinkles should be when making movements such as driving. This is a perfect linen jacket esp. in the WHITE color as it shows less wrinkles compare to the nude color one. May 25, 2013

Grants for Adaptive Equipment
Servicemembers and Veterans with service-connected ALS are now entitled to automobile and special adaptive equipment grants.
The Veterans Health Administration is America's largest integrated health care system with over 1,700 sites of care, serving 8.76 million Veterans each year.
You may be eligible for VA health care. From the 1950s through the 1980s, people living or working at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, were potentially exposed to drinking water contaminated with industrial solvents, benzene, and other chemicals.
Under a law signed Aug. 6, 2012 (215 KB), Veterans and family members who served on active duty or resided at Camp Lejeune for 30 days or more between Jan. 1, 1957 and Dec. 31, 1987 may be eligible for medical care through VA for 15 health conditions.
Learn more about Camp Lejeune health benefits and which conditions are covered.

They are way cheaper than most, and I would order them again if I had to. They are the size of a credit card which is perfect.

Looks like we've got another extended flat spell upon us...
Looks like we've got another extended flat spell upon us...
yeah its not looking good.I had to go out in some knee high junk this morning..
Str8 doodoo
march is usually good. it started amazing but has since fizzled....... sad face :-(
I'll give you a prediction. The only people that are going to be surfing are the ones that live close enough to walk, given current gas prices. Nice change.
Where I live, we can't sniff any SE swell for shiz. I had a fun time lastyear during March and esp. April, not looking good this year. At least the air temps are warm and I can preoccupy myself with other outdoor activities.
High pressure in control boys and girls, which means nice weather and nada surf. Time to bust out the skateboard, fishing pole, golf clubs, something... surf looks brutal for the next week.

got some nice knee/thigh high sets this morning..

A couple of members on our 4wd forum entered the Sh*tbox Rally 2011. It's an event organised by a fella that lost his parents to cancer in the aim of raising funds for the Cancer Council. Entrants have to buy a vehicle and prepare it for under $1000 and then complete the event. This is the second year and they started in Brisbane and went to Darwin.
Our forum members (Luke an Peter - Team Cable Tie Racing) entered, and actually live in the Darwin area, and drove their stretched Ford Taxi Limo from Darwin to Brisbane for the start, and have now just completed the event.
I went along to the start line at the Breakfast Creek Hotel in Brisbane. Here are all my photos ....
Here is their team website page, it has the donations and team details..

~So Phil went to the NY Comic Convention at the Javits Center this weekend and he came back with a new friend for me. His name is Mister Toast. I don't know much about the artist who draws him or about his whole comic "world' yet, but he's the cutest thing I've ever seen. I'm having fun looking at the other characters on the website…how cute is the guy called Shaky Bacon? Anyway, I love when Phil brings home fun toys for me…just one of the perks of being with a toy/graphic designer. However, between my perfume obsession and his toy obsession, our apartment is overrun. But it's still pretty funny to see Apocalypse from X-Men and a bottle of Guerlain perfume happily co-existing on a shelf. -alexis
~OK, I'll admit it—I LOVE American Idol! I wish it were on a little later because I always miss the first half! I already have some favs…Lisa, Paris, Katharine, Melissa, Ace, Elliott…. I think I have some idea of who will get the boot tonight (but I don't want to jinx it). I should probably vote, but I leave that to my mom and aunt who do it for everyone! I'm not kidding you can't call my parent's house during the show. Not only do I like to watch the show, but I like to sing along! And, unfortunately I wasn't blessed with a good voice, but I still belt out the songs. Last season, my best friend Lori and I would sing our little hearts out. Hmm, wonder how our neighbors didn't tell us to shut up! Ha. And could someone please tell Randy to knock off that "dog pound" thing, does it annoy anyone else? Anyhow, I'm excited to see it tonight! -candace
~I had a busy 3 day weekend – dinner out, broadway show, etc. But the highlight of it was Saturday morning… my boyfriend was flipping through the channels and stopped on a random cartoon. And I thought to myself, "They don't make cartoons like Bugs Bunny anymore." Then I remembered that while Christmas shopping for my brother this year, I picked up an extra Looney Tunes DVD for myself! So I spent all of Saturday morning watching Bugs Bunny and loved every minute! The only thing that could have made it better would be breakfast in bed… -heather
~Oh how I love 3 day weekends! This past weekend was especially fun – I did some relaxing, some good eating and had some old school fun. On Saturday I went to see Eight Below with Rich because we are both huge dog lovers – it was such a sweet movie, but still very sad. Basically I cried for an hour and a half straight and probably frightened all the kids sitting around us. Then yesterday Rich, my brother and I took my nieces and nephew to Sportstime – an arcade/ carnival games/ pool hall…you get the idea! I had such a good time pretending to be a kid again! What made the day even better was getting to play my favorite game in the world – air hockey. I tied Rich and beat my nephew…yea, he's 8 but so what, I still won! -maria
Disneyworld!! I haven't been in a million years and I'm seriously dying to re-experience Space Mountain. Mya's too young to really get the whole thing so she'll mostly be watching from the sidelines with her mom…but luckily, my second favorite ride is Dumbo (not kidding)—so maybe she can go flying with her aunt-to-be and a friendly elephant. -alexis
~For all of you real perfume fanatics out there (especially you Alexis), I found the best site: www.luckyscent.com. OMG—it's amazing. They offer those rare perfumes that you just can't find anywhere!! The site is sooo easy to use—you can look for that certain scent you've been craving or check out the latest from your favorite brand. And, if you can't decide what to buy, you can order $2-3 sample vials. Next time I'm in LA, I'm so checking out their new store. Oh, I'd be like a kid in a candy store! The Ultimate Vanilla Collection looks divine! But, Eau de Menthe by HEELEY would be ideal for summer. Hmmm….now what to buy…or what my Valentine could buy me. Hint hint! -candace
~Soooo exhausted today because last night was the CEW Product Demonstration—one of the hugest industry events all year. Basically every brand comes out to show their latest & greatest products in the hopes that they'll be nominated for a CEW Beauty Award, which is a really prestigious honor in the industry (we won last year for our slide tin lip balm!). We nominated 4 products this year—our bronzer, clean slate primer, lights, camera, lashes! mascara, and sin city liquid eyelining stains—will keep you posted on the status, but keep your fingers crossed!! Anyway, it's so fun to get dressed up and walk around looking at all the cool stuff from other brands (not to mention the insane goody bag you get at the end)…but my feet were KILLING me after a while. I finally made the ultimate sacrifice of vanity and switched from Chanel stilettos to Pumas. Not nearly as glamourous, but so worth it.-alexis
"dream bars." Dreamy indeed…the middle-layer combo of brown sugar, pecans & toasted coconut was rich enough to satisfy any sweet tooth, but it basically put me on full tilt and I think I need to detox for the rest of the day….or week.-alexis

Fell and Fair
17. 2511 Third Age
2511 Third Age
"Grey demons? Armies of straw-heads?" I sneer. "You expect me to believe mere horse-straddlers could defeat our chosen battalions?
"The Great One is enraged at our failure! And you dare offer such cowardly excuses?
"Kneel, Deserter!" I spit.
Now quaking violently, the once-proud warrior begs mercy, gibbering tales of unspeakable sorcery: a brace of grey-shrouded necromancers garlanded with oozing eyeballs, uttering foul incantations to make our dead enemy rise and kill again... ripping out our captains' throbbing hearts to guzzle their courage-laden blood... summoning thunderbolts from open sky....
Wearied of his falsehoods, I signal my vigilant guards, commanding his dispatch.
I am but a greybeard, no longer war-fit. 'Twas my sons and theirs who marched off to conquer, commanded and consecrated by the Great One Himself.
Our honourable warriors do not return home.
We dare not speak this openly; such is deemed treason, punished by sword.
Yet some hear dark whispers of ghastly grey spectres, dealing out slaughter on a distant war-plain.
What sinister witchcraft could master our warriors, shielded so surely by His fabled grace?
Wives murmur no elegy, wailing no loss — chancing no sacrilege. Yet on the inside, lonely and silent, suffering hearts will ne'er cease to bleed.
"Warriors' wives cannot claim stipends — only widows. But our warriors will return! Dare you gainsay the Great One?" So proclaim our war-chieftains, more moved by parsimony than piety.
Cloth-weaving stopped earning coin; I sold the loom. Still, my beloved did not return.
I sold our possessions. He did not return.
I sold each daughter. No return.
I sold his son.
Slowly, I remove my marriage-scarf, embroidered by my dead mother's hand — praying my husband's spirit may forgive my imminent dishonour. I venture trembling into the teeming market-place.
Scarfless and guardless, all here will know what I trade for coin.

The "middoth" were Rabbi Hillel's rules for interpretation. There are seven of them. What are they? Please list them and include one or two clear examples for each.
Hillel's seven were later expanded by Rabbi Yishmael ben Elisha into thirteen, dropping one. I'll be drawing this list from the list on Wikipedia. I'll be drawing some examples from this answer on Mi Yodeya about R. Yishmael's list that in turn quotes from the Artscroll prayer book.1
Kal v'chomer: if a lenient case has a stringency, then surely a stringent case has it. For example, the set of forbidden labors on Shabbat is a superset of those forbidden on yom tov (festivals plus Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur). So if a labor is forbidden on yom tov, which has more-lenient rules, then surely it is forbidden on Shabbat.
G'zeirah shavah: two ideas are related through commonality in one of two ways, either (a) the same word is used in two different places (so we understand similar meaning) or (b) two adjacent verses are related. An example of (a): the daily offering is brought even on Shabbat and from this we learn that the Pesach offering is brought even on Shabbat because the same word is used to describe the time (b'moado). An example of (b) (quoting from the Mi Yodeya answer): the law that one could get married through a contract is derived from the verse "She left from his house, and became married to another". Through this we learn that "leaving" is compared to "marrying", and just like a divorce is done through a contract, so too could marrying.
Binyan av mi-katuv echad: a decision based on one passage applies to similar passages. Example: marrying one's mother's half-sister is forbidden, and we derive that marrying one's father's half-sister is also prohibited.
Binyan av mi-shene ketuvim: a decision in two laws having a common characteristic is applied to other laws with that characteristic. I think (but am not sure) that this rule means that if we know that, say, weaving and writing are both forbidden on Shabbat because they are elements of making the mishkan (and building the mishkan on Shabbat was forbidden), then we can also say that dyeing, cooking, and several others that are also part of mishkan-building are forbidden. (This example is my own, not Artscroll's.)
Klal u'prat and prat u'klal: Complicated rules about relating the particular to the general and the general to the particular. One example (from Mi Yodeya), one who kills someone is executed (no differentiation between careless or premeditated murder). When the Torah later on refers to the punishment of exile for a careless murderer, it cannot be adding to execution, but to replace it with exile. For this one I'm going to point to the sources I've linked for more details.
Ka-yotzei bo mi-makom acher: explaining a biblical passage according to another of similar content. R. Yishmael omitted this one and I don't have an example.
Davar halamed me-inyano: proving something from context. For example, one of the commandments at Sinai is "do not steal". This comes after "do not commit adultery" and "do not murder", both of which are capital crimes, so "do not steal" is understood to refer to kidnapping because that is the only capital form of stealing.
1 A prayer book (siddur) may seem an unusual source for rules of rabbinic interpretation. Jews are commanded to study torah daily, so some torah study is built into the morning service -- including R. Yishmael's 13 rules for interpretation. Artscroll, a major publisher whose siddur is used widely, augments the list with examples, as noted at the link.
See this article for some additional information (starting near the bottom of the first page).

So there, pretty soon you'll need a PhD just for picking the right card
Why do you think is radeon oss so much better? I highly doubt that because nouveau is reverse engineered which means the driver does more or less the same as the binary one. Reclocking is however an issue but radeon does not shine in that area as well. Radeon cards tend to use a higher default clock which results in very hot laptops running on oss drivers. As radeon devs do not try to clone fglrx i doubt that the final performance will be that high. From a performance/price comparision most likely amd would win on windows - you pay usually an extra nvidia "tax" of about 10-15% over amd. It depends if you want to live with the linux drawbacks or not - at least 12.11 beta driver is a step in the right direction.
Ok if you take into account if driveres are open source or not that might be a different thing. But I would not spend 400 USD on a graphics card without using the best possible driver no matter if they are blobs or not. I want performance for my money.
how did the power consumption measurements go?
those of us with nvidia chips in our laptops would like to know whether the performance has a penalty

I just want my 2XMSAA on r300g... That's enough to keep me happy, I hate jaggies
What applications need MSAA today? Most of these are probably games and written for MS+Nvidia platform.
Recently I tested a lot of titles with the radeon FOSS driver and have to say: don't touch anything with Nvidia written on it if you have a radeon card.
What I learned: in future stay away from MS and Nvidia stickers
I just want my 2XMSAA on r300g... That's enough to keep me happy, I hate jaggies
Last edited by Sidicas; 08-28-2012 at 04:21 AM.
That's because the MSAA is a hardware feature, so needs r600-specific magic to turn on and use, (Which possibly changes between hardware generations, and no doubt different magic to nvidia/intel/other hardware).
MLAA, on the other hand, is implemented as a shader pass over the final image, so only a shader needs to be written (And assuming that the shader compilers work correctly for their corresponding cards, the same shader should work on all generations/architectures with no changes) and can be completed with no hardware-specific knowledge.
So I went along and tested some titles from GOG under PlayOnLinux and radeon driver:
1. D&D - Dragonshard -> works perfect
2. The Nations -> works perfect
3. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone -> characters not rendered (like EQ2 in the beginning or still? Not playing any more)
4. Disciples 2 Gold -> works perfect
When will be antialiasing usable in games like xonotic, sauerbraten? It says that isn't supported. I'm using latest kernel, libdrm, mesa-git
I think he actually needs 3.6-rc4. The dmesg should say "[drm] Initialized radeon 2.22.0". The version is the only thing that matters.
The only required components for MSAA are the kernel, and Mesa 9.0 or git. Mesa won't let you built itself unless you have the latest libdrm too, that's the third requirement.
Some people have said that you need to update xf86-video-ati or even xorg... that's not true.
As I said before, the MSAA can be used through OpenGL framebuffer objects, not through GLX, which some apps use instead. That will hopefully be tackled in the next Mesa release. GLX support is kinda a separate project on its own.
That must be because of GLX, what I have is:
Linux 3.6.0-rc4 #1 SMP Sun Sep 2 15:14:45 CEST 2012 x86_64
libdrm 2.4.39

Xonotic is a fork of Nexuiz. I know nexuiz have different launcher, like nexuiz-sdl and nexuiz-glx. See if there is something similar with xonotic.

Darkest Hour - Dev Diary #28 - Sneak Peak 1.3 - Combat rework and more
There have been a bunch of hints over the last weeks what we are working on. I for one part finished with the basic implementation of one of my pet projects earlier this week, that went a bit farther then initially expected.
It's just one aspect of the 1.3 patch, it still needs a lot of love and finetuning, and there are lot of other things we work on that are not ready for presentation but I thought it would be nice to give you guys a nice feeling that things are moving along in the background.
The 1.3 patch is still a few months away, even when everything wents as expected, good things take time.
- Landunits move with a more realistic speed
- Movement speed is now affected by terrain, weather, infrastructure and season.
- Strategic redeployment got a review
- There are now diminishing returns that limit the usefullnes of going over optimal forceratios
- Armored and Mobile units in general are now real forcemultiplier
- Attack and defense ability of each unittype depends now more on terrain and weather
- review of damage development between models
- greater differentiation between air units
- casualty rates now depend on doctrines and are nolonger an indication of combateffectiveness
- complete rework of Landdoctrines
- performance tweaks
- more and easier modding
Movementspeed - how everything begun
Earlier this year I started to investigate reports about the on map unitspeed. Most people agreed that movement was to slow.
There was never any doubt that the reports were right.
We maintained for the most part the vanilla units maxspeed, but the new distance calculation changed the distances all around the world quite radically.
So I grabbed some old German and US field manuals to get an idea what was a to expected movement speed in good terrain.
Test showed that movement speed in Europe for Infantry wasnt actually that far off, 20% more speed and we would have good values.
More critical was the representation of motorized and mechanized units. In the old model of HOI2 games fuel consuming units move traditionally about 2 times as fast as a normal Infantry unit.
The reality was different, motorized units over a 24h period moved faster and longer then a classical formation, so a realistic factor is closer to 5-6 times higher.
While this is a major change in itself, it was only the start of what became a major project.
When I started tweaking unitspeed I pretty early ran against a wall, I simply couldnt get Division to move with the right speed. After some further checking I figured out that there are a whole bunch of modifiers to unit movement speed spread over various files.
Terrain types.csv change changes the speed of all units in a specific terrain, modifier.csv changes a specific units speed under specific terrain/weather conditions. In the misc.txt are a bunch modifiers that affect speed of units in certain situations.
So long story short, there are a huge amount of different modifiers that were in my opinion never really balanced against each other.
So I set out to do just that, clean up all modifiers that affect movement speed and achieve a more realistic endresult.
- Generic movement modifiers for terrain are gone.
- Each unittype has its own individual terrain modifier that are based mostly on the factors used by different military simulation systems.
Armor moves fast over plains and deserts, but slows down to infantry speed when moving through jungle.
Thats not really something new, a lot of mods have done it, but its a cleanup and improvement that was still missing for DH and make different terrain even more critical.
Something I havent seen so far in any mod is, that I placed a stronger emphasize on the day/night cycle. All units slow down during the night. Infantry almost completely, while mobile forces maintain a greatly reduced speed.
This gets especially interesting in combination with the moddable daylength modifiers in the misc.txt.
It is possible to define different daylight period for different seasons.
This means a Division now moves faster in summer, then it does in winter.
Strategic redeployment times were also reviewed and should be closer to historical redeploy times.
The modifier are based on a number of military scientific works from the 60s-90s that are publicly available and published under the Open Archive Initiative by The Defense Technical Information Center.
For those of you familiar with Dupuys QJM, the values shouldnt be a big suprise.
I soon suspected that such modifier madness was not limited to unit movement and started to dig into the misc.txt to find more things that could be streamlined.
During my research to implement those changes, and track down the causes for weird results, I realized two things.
For one the game engine is full of moddable values that are to a certain degree redundant, to a high degree not understood, and not properly utilized.
Those redundant values should actually offer a much higher flexibility then anyone was aware of.
My initial idea was to read up on a few old threads about the combat engine, to get an idea what should be changed, and implement what was possible with those redundant values.
But it became pretty obvious that those discussions where only of very limited value, because noone really knew how the engine works.
And also because they were polluted by opinion-posts that describe in great detail how combat should be in reality and ingame, but sadly were purely fiction.
I took two steps back and started to work my way through a wide spectrum of military scientific publications to get an idea how combat actually plays out in reality. What factors are important, to what numbers boil they down, and is there a way that can be used to account for them.
After some weeks I actually had some good numbers to work with, and started some ingame tests to see if my math worked out well it didnt really fit. *g*
Working my way through the code to find my mistake, I realized that some of the assumptions on how the engine works were wrong, but also that there was a chance to repurpose existing variables and mechanics to achieve a far more realistic combat engine.
- Lets start with some problems of the classic combatengine:
- Defensiveness / Toughness have hardly a practical effect
- It is always beneficial to use bigger unitstacks
- The increase in org and moral in combination with increasing attack values causes manpower losses to skyrocket in later years and leads to problems with the new mobilization system.
- Difference in doctrines are not very good representable, and relies on stacking more org and morale on each other.
Diminishing returns
The first two actually belong together, and my theory atm is that it is not a design flaw in the engine but some mixup when the final hardcoded values were put into the engine.
The defense values Defensiveness-Toughness are used to determine the chance a hit has to occur.
Currently there is a 20% chance of a hit, as long as a units defense is not overwhelmed, when no defense is left, the chance of a hit increases by 20%. -> the damage doubles.
Which means in game that a unit suddenly takes more damage when it is fighting more enemy units, much more then the increase in hostile firepower justifies.
In reality the effect is for the most part opposite. There are enough discussions about diminishing returns in the forums, so I'll just skip going into detail here.
The point is that it can be emulated, with the existing mechanic of Hit chances and defense values.
We set the defense value of a unit to be ~3.5x of a units attackvalue.
And now comes the interesting part, we switch the the chance a hit has to occur.
And suddenly we achieve results in gamepraxis that are close to the diminishing return formulas.
You are fighting, you take damage.When you're overhelmed, you take more damage. Suddenly out of the blue you take even more damage.
- 3 random chances a hit can miss. (which makes denfense/toughness a lmost pointless unitstat)
- 2 in it's effect identical modifier that determine a units combatpower in offense/defense One generic, one terrain specific.
You are fighting, you take damange. When you're overhelmed you take more damage, but at some point when the hostile superiority in numbers gets so high that not all can shoot at you, the additional damage starts to drop and gets neglectable.
- 2 random chances a hit can miss
- 1 modifer that determines terrainspecific combat abilities
- 1 modifier that emulates diminishing returns and also determines the ability of a unit to fight outnumbered
What does this mean in game terms?
1. The most efficient force ratio to overwhelm an enemy is 3:5:1 afterwards the benefit of new units greatly drops.
A battle 1:1 lasts 6 days
A battle 3:1 lasts 2 days
A battle 10:1 lasts 1 day 16 hours
2. It is a great tool to simulate,the value certain unit types have as force multiplier. Tank divisions, not only have higher attack values, but also lower defense values.
I know this is the point where it gets counterintuitive, but in the new system lower defense means that a unit is better at fighting outnumbered, because the point at which the unit takes less damage is achieved earlier.
3. This "simple" change also generates two additional effects.
In combat with an unequal force ratio in favor of the attacker, an attacker takes higher losses over a shorter time. (Which still means they take less losses in total, but it's a effect you can see in reality aswell)
Combat involving huge numbers of Divisions take longer then combats involving only a few units.
There is no specific engine mechanic necessary to create this effect, it follows automaticly out of the way how damage is distributed statisticly, and it fits nicely with observations in reality.
A stacking penalty which limits the amount of divisions that can fight in a specifc province efficently, is a completely different thing, it greatly depends upon dispersion laws, doctrines and a mixture of terrain features. This cant be simulated with existing game mechanics, and wont be part of the next patch.
For the most part it wouldnt even make sense, DH is played on a scale that provinces are of a size where stacking penalties would only occur when battles involve well beyond 100 divisions and at that point the command limit penalties already affect the battle.
Of course there are special cases like battles in cities or against forts where the value would be much lower, and a stacking penalty would be noticeable. So it is something we might decide to add for a later patch, but its no high priority for me.
Modifier all around
The old defense values were often used to differentiate a units ability in attack and defense, this is now done mostly within the modifiers.csv .
As this required a complete review of all modifiers I went a bit further and went through additional sources to better represent the strength and weaknesses of light vs heavy units.
A tank unit greatly benefits from wide open terrain where it can use its main armaments full range, but that advantage drops when the terrain become compartmentalized like in woods, in this terrain infantry begins to be more efficient.
I also reworked all weather modifiers, and added them for all units that didnt have them before. So no more bomber raids in storms, or airtoground support in the middle of a blizzard.
And on top of that, a lot of tweaks to general combatmodifiers in the misc.txt, which got greatly expanded in that area.
Currently we expect to add more then 20 entries that make it possible to adjust old hardcoded features related to the combatengine alone.
Overall Firepower changes and attackvalues
The next change implemented is a overall rework of all units attack values, currently the damage output of a unit from 1914-1945 tripled, it now only doubles so the damage progression is a bit more realistic.
There were also tweaks to the attack values of different units and models to each other to make them a more realistic forcemultiplier.
My initial reasons for the change were balance and performance, but thanks to the research I've done I've also achieved a higher realism of the whole system.
With the damage output of different units especially during the wars a bit closer together it gets easier to achieve balance. Modern units are still better and provide an edge, but the difference is smoother.
The performance aspect is a bit more complicated, I reduced the attack values of all units and increased the damage multiplier in misc.txt to compensate for it so the damage remains the same.
During the wars the attack values of land units are 10-20% lower, but for air units and later land unit models the difference is up to 50%. As each attack point basically means one additional check in combat for each unit every in game hour, this should be another improvement to keep long campaigns run smoothly.
Air combat tweaks
The new use of defense values as a forceratio-stackingpenality made it possible to emulate a few model specific things for air units that didnt really work before.
Tactical Bomber are very vulnerable to interceptor but not so much to aa fire.
Strategic bomber are hardly affected by ground based AA but are still vulnerable to interceptor planes.
Interceptor are vulnerable to AA but they are not very vulnerable to other interceptors.
Early CAS do more damage then early TAC, but they are more vulnerable to ground based aa, on the other hand are CAS not as vulnerable against Interceptor.
Initially I was only looking for a way to improve the way combat is represented in the ww1 scenario, the main aspect I wanted to have represented, was that the average casualty rate per hour, during WW1 was twice as high as during WWII.
New weapons like mgs and improved usage of artillery greatly increased the damage generated by a unit compared to the franco-prussian war, and the nations military doctrines, didnt yet catch up.
One important factor that determines how much damage a military unit takes in reality, is the so called Dispersion, which represents the space each soldier has for himself.
Modern and mobile doctrines have a much higher dispersion to compensate for the higher firevolume of modern weaponry.
It took me a while to make the connection, but the gde is perfect to be used to represent dispersion.
If you use this values for a doctrine a normal unit suddenly takes twice as much mp damage, but still fights basicly as good as before.
command = { type = max_organization which = land value = 30 }
command = { type = morale which = land value = 30 }
command = { type = ground_def_eff value = 0.5 }
The next big change is a complete rework of land doctrines.
Dispersion is also a really great tool to create a difference between the 5 landoctrines we currently have.
A manpower focused doctrine has a much lower dispersion, then a mobile oriented doctrine.
With the technique from above we can have more realistic losses., but maintain game and historical balance.
For example battles between German and soviet troops, soviet casualty ratios were usually much higher to achieve the same results.
The changes to units attack values no longer make it necessary to constantly increase org and morale to compensate for more damage, so we gain some additional flexibility to play around with.
If we now use org and morale, and different attack/defense modifiers for each doctrine to fine tune things we can get some really nice and differentiated results for each doctrine.
One doctrine tech may increase the attackmodifier but comes at the price of higher mp losses, another might increase the defense but reduces the morale of a unit, making it harder to counterattack.
One thing I wanted to achieve was that the doctrines should be different but not necessarily better after a certain point in time.
Nothing new but good to know.
There is a currently still hardcoded mechanic that hard units like ARM cause almost twice as much org damage then other units.
Fast units have a much higher chance for certain combat events, like breakthrough and encirclement.
Minor changes to modifier with big impact for casual modding.
As part of this rework I went over most, if not all modifiercombination that affect different engine aspects. Whenever more then 1 modifier was used, I decided to set the general modifer in misc.txt to 1.
Just one example.
The upgrade modifier in misc.txt and an individual model upgrade time in the unit files.
But there are a lot more of such modifier pairs.
It's just a little thing, but makes it much easier to understand and adjust values of indivdual units or unittypes.old:
# Upgrade cost
# Upgrade time
upgrade_time_factor = 0.75
upgrade_cost_factor = 1.25
# Upgrade cost
# Upgrade time
upgrade_time_factor = 0.6
upgrade_cost_factor = 0.75
And just to make it doubly clear.
Patch 1.3 is still a few months away, good things take time.
