I told the guy about it and he said he added a note to the video...

IMHO, it is unique enough. People may not recognize it now, but with time they'll get used to it. Besides, it is the most historically accurate symbol for them, uh?

Attack sounds list in Warcraft 3's object editor EDIT: I'd post Starcraft's too, but then i realized every unit has its own set of sounds, since every unit has a different attack.

I think their faces should look more serious/angry. It's looking a bit too relaxed, currently.

Maybe a static frame, right under the resource bar, titled "Plunder:" or "Recent Plunder:" that sums all the recent resources earned from plundering. And after some seconds, it fades?

Age of Mythology buildings look awesome, they had success in passing to the player the feel they wanted to pass in AoE1.

Hi! Welcome to the forums! To avoid repetitive discussions, I'll point you to the last topic with information about this: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=17146&hl

Concerning trained dogs... I've seen many dogs trained by the police around here and i can say that those dogs that immobilize are the ones trained for hunting, to cripple the preys for the hunter. The dogs trained by the police instead attack the arms to disarm the guy. And dogs not trained at all generally attack the neck (by instinct), for the neck is the most vulnerable part of the body.

AoEO's Norse have warhounds too and they are limited to 21 units, IIRC. They just put there on the tooltip " X out of 21 units ".

Undoubtedly Rome achieved something. It would be very strange otherwise, considering all the power and influence it achieved. But you are forgetting some points. Theaters and arts are really Greek ideas, not Roman, to start with. Long before the Romans, the Greeks did poetry (do you know Homer?). Long before the Romans, other cultures did their recordings (what is the Torah if not recordings? What about the lost Egyptian records i talked about?). You then pointed Catholicism as a Roman invention. Catholicism is just the standardization of Rome's religion as Christianism, after losing the fight against it. But the Catholicism itself is built upon the beliefs of a foreign culture, though, guess which? Jews. And, don't get me wrong, i don't have anything against catholics (i myself was raised as catholic), but it did more bad than good. No wonder the medieval age is also known as the "Dark Age", the age in which Europe stopped in time, the age in which the elite (in this case, the church) enslaved mentally the people with their lies, lies these that only generated conflicts, oppressed the poor and protected the rich, but let's not forget the main point here: Catholicism is one of Rome's legacies. And you say "without Rome, mankind would be still running in skins arguing which tribesmen has bigger balls", but let's cite this text from... Alpha 13 release article: Well, let's thank Romans for the aqueduct invention, yes, but if we're going down this road, let's also thank someone for discovering fire, and another for inventing the wheel, let's thank Hammurabi for inventing laws, let's thank the Sumerians for inventing the writing (and also the Mesoamericans, who invented it independently some 2400 years later, but still much before contacting the cultures of the old world). And you say they built on Marble. What's the deal with marble? Egyptians did just fine before marble, in fact their Pyramids were the highest buildings all around the world for centuries without needing marble, the mesoamericans also built enourmous cities just without marble (when Hernán Cortés arrived in America, Tenochtitlán was one of the biggest cities, with only 3 bigger cities all around the world: Constantinople, Venice and Paris). Oh, and let's not forget about their legacy in other cultures: Latin, although still used, is a dead language, Rome failed the simple job of imposing their language to the subjugated, meanwhile the Hebraic language is still alive and is spoken even around here (a friend of mine discovered he has Jew ancestry and started having Hebraic courses. He now speaks and writes it fluently, so as the rest of his family).

Hi! You can talk directly with the developers here: http://webchat.quakenet.org/ There are two channels: #0ad and #0ad-dev . The first is more used to organize multiplayer matches, but i'm sure you can find some programmers there, too.

It is true that the Romans influenced our modern society a lot. But let's face the facts: Rome held power over vast land masses and subjugated an uncountable number of other civilizations, but most deeply the Europeans. Guess what? By many reasons the Europeans also influenced the rest of the world. So it is unfair to judge each civ by how much they influenced. But let's see: What religions are the dominant, today? The Christianism, the dominant religion, above all, was influenced by the Judaism. The main compilation of books by which those who follow the Judaism guide themselves is called Torah. The first 5 books of the Torah were written thousands of years ago, in fact they are the oldest surviving documents from that time. See the influence here? It is directly from a people called the Hebrews, the same who were "enslaved" in Egypt and subjugated (directly or not) by the Romans and Greeks, and yet their influence survived. City-states is what Rome was, so as Athens and Sparta and Corinth and Thebes and many others that represented the region we now call Greece. But a city itself is an invention which is credited to another civilization, and the first cities were raised fram from Greece and Italy, they were raised close to the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, a region known nowadays as Iraq, and that is considered the "cradle of civilization". But let's see, who raised the first army? The Egyptians. The Bronze age also started in Mesopotamia. The Egyptians and Sumerians were the first iron users. The iron melting began either in India, Anatolia or Caucasus. The Egyptians themselves left some feats and are yet to be revealed, like how did they precisely align the pyramids with the equatorial line (missing perfect alignment by mere centimeters)? They were also the inventors of the first condoms. And it's not even fair to say that was all, since much knowledge was lost when their priests destroyed their books when the Egypt was first invaded. And what about the Chinese? The true inventors of the Gunpowder and Pizza. And the Huns? That defied the powerful Rome and would have won, even with all their military training, superior equipment and master minds behind the troops. You'd say that Rome was crippled by that time, uh? And couldn't any other civ Rome subjugated be "crippled" too? It is just not fair to point Rome and Greece as the best. They may have conquered a lot, but they aren't that powerful as you think they. And our history classes are very ethnocentric, too, one must strive to see that not everything is like that and that there are many unknown/unconsidered aspects, yet.

The cliffs look better, too

I see. Not that it is that much of a feat (because it isn't at all), but i got to silver league using only cannon rush/4-portal rush. Problem is... You don't have time to build enough colossi, much less to train high templars. But whatever, this isn't about Starcraft, i was just trying to say that Idanwin is right in the sense that some civs have a strategy difficulty advantage agaisnt others. And Burzum, i strongly disagree with you. I won't discuss it here, it isn't the right place, but if you want to explain your point in another topic in the off-topic discussion area, i'll show you mine, too.

+1!

In a certain sense, he's right. Starcraft's units may be well balanced, but it is easier to do some strategies than others. For instance, A "cannon rush" was the easiest protoss strategy against terran players (the easiest strategy in the game, TBH) because the zergs had the creep to block building next to mineral line and the protoss could just use the same strategy. Meanwhile, the MMM terran strategy (Medivac/Marine/Maurader) would be easier against protoss than zergs becausethe zergs have the combo Hydralisks+Roaches that decimate those squishy terran units. And, as every race has their weaknesses, the Protoss would fare better against the zergs with a 8-portals rush (while the massive number of squishy ranged units of the terran could handle that) and the terrans with a good number of siege tanks. This all is what makes one think a certain civ is better against another one.

I see! A lot better, when it comes to framerates, i really underestimated the interface width. I would stick with the 6850 too, because of my game choices, i use a headset to play (so noises are totally ignored), the computer can handle the temperature pretty well (close to the cold ground, well ventilated), and most of the time the card will remain idle (so energy consumption won't be that much of a deal). The only bad thing would be that i'd have to play skyrim in a lower res, but whatever, i don't play it anymore...

Yeah, i remember when i played Tomb Raider 2... Sometimes I just wanted to kill the tiger over and over, out of frustration for not finding a way to get out of that dang cave (i see now it was so easy)... I just saw the trailer while i was going to watch a video in youtube, BTW.

It seems all the egyptian civ files are missing the line "Culture":"hele", (this one i got from the athenians' file), which should be right after the "Code":"egyp", line.

Where can i download it to have a look and try to find the problem?

With a fast search, i see the HD 7770 is better and faster than the 6850, but the 550Ti isn't too behind. While the 7770 may be a bit faster due to the PCI Express 3 and the slight bus speed difference, the 550Ti on the other hand has that "super alloy power" thing that grants a better longevity (at least theoretically), plus you mentioned it's a lot cheaper. For me, i would buy the 550Ti because i don't know when i'll be able to afford another card and the speed advantage of the HD7770 isn't that great either, but it's up to you.

Come on, guys, it's not like there'll be another completely different resource. Many games do use different dropsites for different resources, what is being proposed is just to take off the civic center of the equation. If the farm is only being available after the mill's placement, it's not that much of a deal anyways. Besides, you must consider these points: - It is kind of an informal agreement that farms are to be the source of food for the late-game, so nobody would build them early on, anyway. - In the Age of Empires series, one needs a mill (or a market, in AoE1) to build farms and it worked just fine. - People already try to save gathering time by building dropsites close to the resources, the only thing that's changing here is that people won't have the convenience of having the civ center as that big dropsite with optimal distance for twice as much farms as the farmstead, but instead they'll be encouraged to expand and always keep an eye on your economy, what may open a gap not only for you to destabilize their food econ., but also a chance to create a decoy to draw attention from your ultimate target (if there is any target better than enemy's economy).

Against farmlands there weren't any, AFAIK. It was needing only someone to go on and implement it. Now this idea of taking farms away from the civ center is new. And pretty interesting, if you'd ask me. Not to mention it is more realistic.

Around here it is called "Dia da Mentira" (Lie's day). Err, shameful as it may be, I really got fooled. I was even about to ask my father (who's a lawyer) for some guidance... But let it be...
