Yeah, "GAMES" looks goofed up.

Perhaps the designer could choose a "biome" for their map, which comes with all sorts of tweaked features, like adjusted market rates, ambient sounds, etc. Yeah, the current rates will be tweaked before the game goes Gold.

I wouldn't mind use "faux-Basque," but I'll leave it up to Joshua, aka 'Shogun', our chief historian dude, to decide on that.

Added both Cothon and Gaesata/Gaeroa as suggested.

Yeah, so Huns (Part 2) can fight against Greeks (Part 1) on random maps and custom scenarios. Single player campaigns though are a different story. We'd be as historically accurate as possible with those.

A Part 2 would add 6 new factions, yeah.

Maybe use the Atlas Mountains as the basis?

Joke's on you guys, because 6 more will be added at a later date.

A "Merc camp" thing, like the trading posts in AOE3 or the settlements in AOM, wouldn't be a bad idea. Dunno. Just depends.

As part of a bigger (Eastern Empires) add-on, I can see them working.

I only put them there until I make unique horse textures for those dudes.

Roman units almost done.

Some better Desert Environment colors:

Right, lots of organic material (wood, animals, plants, et alia) close to the river, and lots of mineral deposits (Stone, Metal) in the outlying desert areas. A few patches of palm trees here and there for variety. Maybe even some clusters of treasures spread around the map too, to benefit explorers.

What do you mean?

A similar thing happens if Fraps is open, but I can just minimize it and it's fine.

It sounds like he just means you get some of the resources used to create the unit. We already have this in the <Loot> element, it's just not obvious when it happens in-game. He's not talking about resources the unit is carrying, although that would be a good feature too.

I probably won't have any further opinions on the subject until I can play with it in-game.

I know Brian's head will explode when I say this, but the entire game setup screen needs redesigned.

I wasn't going for anything really... Just messing around.

Best to limit it to one or two maps so it's actually a "challenge" that people can compare each other with. Maybe I can make a "Builders" sandbox map just for this?

I think it would be good if the Summary screen showed a few more things: AI name (qBot, et al.) Date and Time Map name
