Reminds me of when i went to GW1, 2 friends got tattoos with *dessert rat* underneath a Jerboa (mouse/gerbil from N africa) on their shoulders.


Is that like a rat on plate with some whipped cream on it?

Sorry for the terrible OT, just waiting for the expansion like the rest of you.



Mmmmm sounds tasty....jerboa are as fast as speedy Gonzalaos so not easyto catch. I did eat Penguin in the S Atlantic tho after they attacked over a Minefield, sneaky little critters.....

I am seeing a recurring theme here... did you just have a little one, or are you suggesting used diapers as a new monster for DW?
I would be scared of a used diaper attacking my ships!!!

You're just used to it.

If I may be so bold as to speculate on what another man means...
I would say
Shark7 is not saying it is useful, he is saying it is a weapon of Mass destruction...

Why would you want it? I don't see how it would improve the game. And besides which - what difference is an arc? It's not like an airplane that has to keep its heading and speed to keep flying.

Something better left for DWII or DWIII - it doesn't feel to me to be something that belongs in an expansion pack.

Or bring more micro-management to the game, which is the way I see it. I like the fact that the assist AI is good enough for me to let it take care of stuff without having to babysit each and every battle.

Basically the more complex you make it, the more micro-management you have to perform. And I hate micro-managing.

To some degree. It's not overwhelming. (IE if your order a group of fighters to intercept aircraft, the AI takes it from there). It's actually about the same as DW, though perhaps does need just a bit more attention.

The difference is that Harpoon is not on the scale that DW is.
