Having lived in South Africa for almost 10 years, and having regular dealings with people from all over Africa (I currently teach English to refugees) I can honestly say that around 7/10's of the problem lies with the African governments.
No matter how developed countries get, or how much aid is given, or how much foreign investment comes in; African governments thrive on corruption. The President gains a multi-million Rand mansion, while even the most minor government official boasts a sporty new car as a perk of his position. In South Africa specifically, a portion of our taxes goes directly to the King of the Zulu tribe who does absolutely nothing for it. Even the British Monarchy contributes through tourism and charity, while the current Zulu king is a racist wife-beater.
But the worst part is that the majority of Africans either don't care, are too uneducated to understand the problems, or even worse are perfectly okay with it. Some of the conversations i've had with students have been startling, where they say they refuse to vote for opposition parties because they think it is the party in power who pays for the development/distribution all the services and such (water/elec/etc). They don't grasp the link that its their taxes being spent, rather than some mystical political entity spewing money. Worse still though, are those who agree with the corruption. Who say 'The president is like the chief, so he is entitled to the lavish new palace, expensive parties, etc'.
Until the African culture is changed, and the become educated enough to understand that they have the right to a better life, and not be subservient to their 'leaders', they will never move past their many issues.
Great work on the game still as always. I was just wondering when we're gonna see the naval units and their descriptions properly (Only being able to see 'Unlocalized Placement Text' when selecting them, makes planning Naval Campaigns difficult.)
Hi there. I also can't find any links to a English Patch 1.4, but here's a link to 1.3 with instructions.
The Lusty Argonian Maid (http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Lore:The_Lusty_Argonian_Maid) is a play written by Crassius Curio, an Imperial Nobleman from TES 3: Morrowind who requests bisexual kisses and stripteases from the player. The sister-play 'The Dance Of The Three-Legged Guar' cannot be found in-game.
'Seeing myself touching myself?' Good thing I own a mirror then :P
Even better when you realize Christopher Lee actually plays metal in real life :3
I keep looking at this and seeing a pistol, so they get points for artistry.
It's actually not tooooo bad. A few funny moments here and there and a few interesting thoughts from the Zombie guy's perspective. Give it a watch if its on TV, but nothing to rush for.
I think this fact is utter 'bull', and is just something from a moovie.
Erm....why am I getting feels here in the humour/satire group? I came here to avoid depression, not go into it.
Bah, it's just a deliberate distraction proving he's not a reptile, when he's in fact an amphibian! I demand more tests!
Where can this duet's lyrics be found? This is heartrendingly beautiful...
Nice form, but he loses points for the immense splash....all in all, a poor dive that should place him well out of reach of the medals...
You could always try Europa Universalis: Rome? It's not as character detailed as CK2 (you play as a nation with characters, rather than a character who can shift nations) but its a great Rome-era game, especially with the Vae Victus expansion.
'We are pleased to announce the release date' soon followed by 'no day and month is given'. Man that's not fair...
Ahh well....at least the trailer is pretty awesome.
