Anybody do it? I'm considering it for a class or two where I would only need the electronic version.

archers are definitely a must. Also you need a battle strategy too maybe put your computer inside a wooden horse! That will show the trojans!

Never place the archers in the corners of your apartment, only the turrets. A 10% faster reload time on the archrers is also super effective.

No. Mayans never used arrows cause they sucked. Listen to me, send your knights in first, archers covering from second line, then prceed with battering ram. watch out for burning oil, that can really ruin an assault.

Haha awesome thread-jack. My threads always end up getting thread-jacked. Is that a clue to stop making them, or to make more?

But would a Trojan attack a fellow Trojan? No. Now his hands won't get cut off.

Student can be very expensive about their books. They prefer to rent rather than buying new books. To to know that Amazon book rental reaches hardcopies. This can be a great help for the students.

Also Chegg.com for rentals. However, as far as torrenting, I'd say go for it if you can. The college textbook situation and the publishers have a serious racket going and it's mind boggling how they get away with selling books for what they do.

archers are worthless if you dont have lvl10 wizards to support them, this is crucial to ensure your comptuer is safe.
