I really couldn't say... just too many!

Although I also get a little shiver whenever I hear the Battlefield music and a quick nod to Alien Breed on the Amiga! Remember playing that with me brothers.

Sry, but I'm tired of ppl saying how unruly people are in Africa & Middle East & (well, anywhere not 1st world, and even so...)
They stay down, because it is in our 'interest' (selfish, stupid, close-minded, short-term, greedy interest, not REAL interest, of course)


I do apologise if this came across as a slur. I was commenting on the type of warfare in these countries rather than the root causes of their instability. It is very true that we could do more to help, however it is not quite so clear cut. Without a solid power in charge (that also happens to align with our political ambitions), it is almost impossible to help a country out of poverty. Corruption is a major factor, even in large stable economies, such as India.

As a side note, I am not stating we are absolved of any corruption, just it tends to be on a smaller scale and normally there is some form of recourse. Our (UK) MPs' expenses would be an example.

Tecnology's main advantage is to reduce costs (drones, unmanned boats & land vehicles) and increase effectivity, so we'll need less soldiers in fact...


Actually, the cost of warfare has increased through the use of technology. A spitfire during WW2 had a unit of £12,000 (£500,000 in today's money)  verses a Eurofighter at approx. £70,000,000. The cost to human life has significantly dropped however.

In the 80s, the UK fought a relatively small action to re-take the Falklands, lasting 74 days and costing 255 British troops. Afghanistan has cost the lives of over 400, over the course of 12 years. On D-Day, 2700 British troops were killed or injured.

The problem w/ Syria is that they (Assad clan) are friends w everyone!! Western countries, Iran, Russia, China, Sunni Muslim countries... you name it!!


Whilst it is true that many people are friendly with the regime, most have condemned their actions.

As for China, i do not agree to the first part:
China has bought LOADS of western debt, they won't even need to fight (like Art of War recommends) eventually we'll all be working for them!!!!!
..all theyd have to do is 'fire' us....haahahah!!!!!!

Stopping imports, as u say, would crush our economies 2...we'd have no spares...no supply...they would be left holding the handle...


Sorry, I poorly articulated this. This was my point. If the larger economies went to war, they are so dependant of each other, they would simply bankrupt each other. Something similar actually happened during WW1, where the UK's main source of acetone (a key ingredient in artillery shells) actually came from Germany. This trade obviously stopped at the start of the war leading to massive shortages in the number of shells we could produce.

Well, im relieved, at least we have someone to blame!!!! well hold u responsible for any WW3 occuring then Very Happy


Sod's law dictates that it should begin any day now!

I really don't think we're on the verge of WWIII.

Mostly due to the prohibitive costs involved.

Poor countries will always have war as it is cheap and mostly consists of militia and insurgents, lightly armed with cheap mass-produced, often antiquated, equipment. Teamed with often unstable or ineffective governments, this leads to inherit instability with groups fighting for control over a relatively small region. When hasn't Africa or the middle-east been at war?!

Developed countries simply cannot afford large scale war. Technology has replaced man and increased precision, however, increasing the cost. It would be impossible to attack another country without massive cost (of both equipment and lives), and using Vietnam as an example, the people wouldn't stand for it if you were to try.

This is the main reason why we are currently 'watching' the situation unfold in Syria. Russia has been supplying Syria with advanced AA defence systems meaning a no-fly zone that was used in Libya is impractical.

As for less democratic countries like China, their economies are based on export. Largely to the very countries that would be likely candidates for war. 'We' would obviously stop imports and basically bankrupt the country overnight. Also, China simply doesn't have the infrastructure yet to support itself. This is why China is currently throwing huge amounts of money at it.

Modern economies are simply too inter-connected for the imperialistic views of the 1900's and armies too modern.

Anyway, that's my thoughts on the matter. If we do all die, then you can all say I told you so  Very Happy

No worries, can you come on Teamspeak? It would be quicker than conversing through the forums. I'll talk you through enabling the windows firewall logs so we can see if it is windows blocking it.

OK, let's see if your hardware-based firewall is blocking it or windows. Firstly, open the logs for your firewall by logging into it and going to Firewall/Packet Filtering Logs and posting the contents here.

Also, some anti-virus can cause issues. Try temporarily disabling it to see if it is blocking it.

You'll need the Open Ports option for your router and remove any options from Port Forwarding.

Just so I can clarify, what are you trying to do or resolve?

yes I am, if they are in the policy and listed as active in Monitoring -> Firewall within the WF.msc then it'll be grand. With regards to your hardware-firewall, what model or ISP are you using?

Um... depends on your router. Normally they are one and the same, e.g. Open Ports are all the ports that can be open and Port Forwarding are the ports that currently being forwarded based on those opened in Open Ports. With regards to Windows reporting only TCP, if you are using Windows Firewall, you'll need to create two rules; one for TCP and another for UDP.

That is a good thing if you're using a web-based tool to check. Ping is part of a protocol called ICMP which work at a lower level than TCP/UDP. Routers for security reason often block ICMP messages from the WAN interface as this allows an attacker to know that IP address exists. If the tool says that the port is open, then it should be open.

You can check locally to see if the port is open by using the "netstat -a" in a command prompt and looking to see if your port is listed as listening.

Looking at this guide would you say private IP is the router ip?

http://portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Draytek/Vigor-2700V/Medieval_II_-_Total_War.htm


Nope, this is the IP address information received on this port should be forwarded to, e.g. your computer's IP address.
