If javascript is like java (and very likely is), then all operations are read from left to right. So (suposing the operations are all java-like) the computer reads as following: if unit is not true or (unit is true and unit.position() returns false), then...

But remember that the iberians will use light ships against those heavy war vessels. Remember light ships are quite faster and that the war vessels can't fire catapults at a ship that's too close and much less one tied to it. Remember also that, although not always successful, hijacking ships a profitable practice. The romans even figured out how to build a galley (a ship stronger than the triremes) by hijacking a cathaginian galley.

Somehow i can't access the link...

After a long time, our friend SMST comes back to our forums... Seeing the avatar i remembered something fun but didn't want to troll posts, so i'm putting it here... It's the brazillian commercial of the Nissan Frontier. They had legal problems because of the association of children figures (the pink ponnies) to the word "darned" ("darned ponnies! darned ponnies! Come get stuck with us!").

Because they didn't have properly ships to war. They won't compete at high seas because of their lack of naval warships, Iberians aren't fit for naval battles, but they can board into great warships and kidnap the ship to use against their attackers, they just can't build them. The iberians also have stronger buildings (though not yet), so their buildings will stand a little more while their soldiers board into the waterborne (if it is right to call ships like this) attacker.

Aún no. Pero, cómo Erik y Michael me corrigiran esto está planeado para breve y incluso ya fue agregado antes, pero durante la reforma del juego (en 2009, yo creo), la opcion fue perdida.

I got beat by Marilyn! Playing Oasis I as the persians against Marilyn as Hellenes (Alpha 8 since i had some troubles getting the last version from the svn). I'm not very good a player, but i have to say it really surprised me to see this AI in action. She detected my attacks and sent defense before i could even see one of her buildings (does she ignore the fog of war?). At the last minutes, i packed some skirmishers and archers to scort the rams and noticed she gone for the first units of the formation, leaving the rams free to go for the civ centre, even though when i hit the civ centre she sent a small pack of melee soldiers to bring my rams down. She didn't exactly got me beat, but after she broke my army, i resigned. Great work, wraitii, i think this is the way to go.

Rome Total focuses only on the battles, while 0 A.D. focuses both on the battles and on the economics, so it would be a mistake to add charge this way, since it would require more attention of the player to the battlefield (a thing the team doesn't want is micro-management like what could be done with this). What can be done is to make the cavalry auto-charge (and this has already been suggested a bunch of times, including by myself), but the team is first developing the main features of the game before thinking about battle mechanics. Even though, rest assured your suggestion will be taken into account.

Had just a fast glance at the second/third image at google. Look at the side entrance and the gate in the courtyard, it remind of AoE's roman buildings painted yellow and brown. In these other images the whole temple is different, with the central piece built in white marble with those semitic details on the top.

Definitely looks like roman style of building.

---- (Carlos's post): I didn't think that google translator would be that bad. Sorry. What i meant was that when i play against the machine, the enemies don't get out of their islands. ---- (Response to Carlos): Esto ocurre porque la inteligencia artificial de el juego no fue completamente desarollada, no sabe cómo construir barcos. Lo que descargaste fue la version alfa 8 del juego, que significa que el juego aún está en construcción. En poco tiempo lanzarán la version alfa 9 del juego, corrigiendo muchos defectos, pero aún sigue en desarollo. (English Translation): This happens because the AI of the game isn't completely evolved yet, doesn't know how to build ships. What you downloaded was the eighth alpha version of the game, what means it is still under development. Soon, the 9th alpha version of the game will be released, solving many problems, but still under develpment.

Carlos, i am almost giving up of understanding what you are wanting to say. If you speak spanish, then write in spanish (i can translate it for the others), because reading this is being a pain.

Guys, i'd note that archers' equations are very different, since while the catapults relied on the weight of the projectile and the strenght of the throwing equipment, while archers (long-bowmen above all) relied on the aerodynamic of the arrows and the elasticity of the bow (the bow is what's elastic, the string just has to withstand the pressure applied), and while catapults have a crushing attack, archers have a piercing attack. This means the angles involved in the equations are different: archers rather fired with a max angle of 50°, while catapults fired with a max and a minimum degree that varied with the type of catapult. So, we need to watch out for the degrees of the shots, uh?

And "Süß" and "Sweet" share the same root, as both english and german are of the same branch (West-Germanic) of indo-european languages, and then the first took the Anglo-frisian way and the latter took the high germanic way down the path to their forms nowadays.

Indeed it would be good just as an extra option for the AI developers. I'm interested in creating AIs, but i know little of the API and i'm not much familiar with Javascript (even though it's similar to Java). When you guys get these changes done, i'd like to see the new API and try to do anything, so please post a link on this topic to it.

My country's only official language is portuguese, even though there are areas where people speak only other languages, like german, Italian, french, japanese, korean and indian languages and their variants (like Tupi and Guarani), but these areas are very few (communities of immigrants and indians who prefer to avoid contact).

My connection is relatively fast and stable (it's a cable connection). I'll try out a download manager, after all i want the programs badly and i won't waste anything just by trying!

@Gen Yes, i am. @k776 About programming, i know Java, Python and C...

Hell, i can neither add friends nor chat with people because i don't have steam games...

Isn't R2-D2 from Star Wars instead of Star Trek?

I tried but the downloaded files are always corrupt... I think they are doing this intentionally, i tried downloading it 3 times and had no success (also tried twice an older version and had the same problem).

Lag isn't the same as low fps... Lag is boring, low fps is acceptable...

Up to now i've seen only two russian speakers around here and the girl isn't the one to look the forum frequently...

@Mythos I coud not think of any better ideas.

The lag is probably caused by the current pathfinding system and the team is already working hard on it. The best to do against the lag is to play with the least players possible, especially if you don't have a good machine.
