  6. Simplified Graphics Settings Menu (for Alpha 15)

    in Game Development & Technical Discussion

    Posted

    Well, with the lobby it seems a prototype version of my options window got mixed in. All that's to do now is the tedious work of finishing adding all the options. I also think that we'll probably need a mostly complete advanced options window + backend before we can do a "simple" graphics setting.

    I'm not understanding. Aren't all the "options" already there in the cfg to make multiple presets?

    All I Know is what I have read. I have not found a military historian yet that has disputed this?

    "Hannibal’s double envelopement at the Battle of Cannae in 216 BC is viewed by military historians as one of the greatest battlefield maneuvers in history, and is cited as the first successful use of the pincer movement to be recorded in detail"

    Hmm, isn't it similar to the tactic employed by the Athenians at Marathon, nearly 300 years earlier?

    Edit: Oops, didn't read through the whole debate. I would still argue that what Miltiades did at Marathon wasn't massively different than what Hannibal did at Cannae, except as a matter of scale (Hannibal did it with 6x as many troops). Doesn't really matter if Miltiades used "veteran" troops in the middle or the wings. The maneuver was still similar and caused a double envelopment of the enemy army in both cases.

    I would prefer we have a couple of hotkey presets, like how RTW had a couple of different setups, and WASD=Camera could be a part of a "FPS" preset, while WASD rebound to buildings could be part of a "RTS" preset.

    Personally, I hate using the screen edge to move the camera around. I like the WASD because I can keep my cursor in the middle of the screen where the action and focus is.

  9. Goths and Germanics

    I think the major reason we're holding off on the Germanics until Part 2 is that we can't throw every culture into Part 1. Also, the Germans were such a large part of Rome's eventual fall that they fit thematically better in Part 2. Also, while the Romans and other cultures fought the Germans in Part 1's time frame, their activities in the Part 2 timeframe were so momentous it's just better to have them in Part 2 instead.


    I think we could have up to 3 Germanics in Part 2, and maybe 1 Celto-Germanic (Belgians would be my pick), like how the Macedonians straddle the Greek and Successors "cultures" in Part 1. So, Belgians would have some textures and models from both the Gauls and Germans art sets and probably share some bonuses from each.

    Very nice Enrique. You definitely should have made dropsites much sooner for a better start. All that time spent shuttling food from the berry bushes to your Civic Center is time your females aren't spending gathering. Know what I mean? Just an example.

    Seeing you flip out @26:40 is funny. ;) Game-changing move for me. I thought you had me cooked when you took down my first and 2nd (and 4th!) expansion attempts.
