Arga,

You are right and as your first comment mentions if you conduct business in a country you are bound by their laws. If Microsoft had only allowed people to download their software from a server in the US and had no presence in the EU they would still be bound by the EU's antitrust laws.

If a company has no physical presence in a country it can be difficult to enforce any judgment but that is a separate matter from jurisdiction.

I would also point out that during the Blacksnow Interactive(BSI) v Mythic Entertainment the judge in that case ordered the case to arbitration. He used the clause in EULA as the basis for this action. Which certainly implies the judge felt the EULA was binding.

The first post mentions 'inspired by Archimede's legendary defense'. This statement does not confirm 'siege mirrors' as actual but instead implies the mirrors are mythical. I do not know if English is your first language so it could just be confusion. Also to be fair the phrase the author used could also be used if he believed the mirrors to be true but then using words like 'inspired' and 'legendary' would be out of place. To give you an idea of the difference think of the phrase 'based on true events' and 'inspired by true event'. The first phrase should leave you with the impression that it will follow those events much more closely than the second.

Your reply to the OP sought to diminish Archimede effect on the siege by pointing out that the Romans eventually won. While this is true it belies the fact the Syracusian dominated the actual fighting that occurred during the siege. Much of that dominance was due to the devices that Archimedes developed and deployed. It was due to these devices that Marcellus order Archimedes taken alive. And as a nit-picking point the siege lasted 3 years. Archimede was killed about 2 years into the siege when the Roman breach the city through subterfuge. The defenders retreated to the citadel which would hold out for an other 8 months.

Point being do not diminish the legacy of Archimedes.

The 30K is a temporary advantage that diminishes over time. I am greatly enjoying myself with this game and may splurge on a 12 month subscription. At the close of that period I will be a 546Ker and compared to the 576Ker. While he might have a skill rank or two on me the difference will be negligible.
