So, uh, in Italy it is legal to take testimony from eyewitnesses who may or MAY NOT remember what was said, but illegal to use taped recordings?!?!?! I'm speechless. LOL

Yeah, I can access the core discussions group as well... I'm not sure if that's what Tonto was talking about though...

I was thinking about a 3D Fight game, in the vein of Virtua Fighter, Mortal Combat, Street Fighter, etc. But this time it would have an historical setting. Choose between the units we have in 0A.D. We could create high res, high poly models to use, based on the units of 0A.D. Characters could include: Greek Hoplite Roman Legionnaire Persian Immortal The various Roman gladiators Celts etc. You could even customize your own characters to add to the game. When playing multiplayer, the custom character would upload, much like a custom map in AOK. Various "arenas" or "worlds" would include actual historical places used in 0 A.D. Imagine taking part in a gladiatorial fight in the middle of the Roman Colosseum... or a Greek hoplite and Persian Immortal fighting it out on the steps of the Parthenon in Athens. Players could even design their own "arenas" to fight in. The way we can "innovate" over the afore mentioned fight games would be to add other fighters in the arena with you. Other things could be moveable/useable objects and weapons. We could also add an involving, branching, storyline for each individual character (similar to a "campaign" in 0A.D.). Community ideas would be to host contests like, "Create the coolest historical character" or "Best Arena." Any thoughts?

Reminds me of the game for Sega Genesis where you were a caveman rescuing your women. At the end of each "level" you'd rescue a scantily clan woman. I remember liking the brunette the best. LOL

You were probably logged in with a cookie and you didn't know it. One possibility. Or something happened while transferring the forums to the new server and permissions were open for a small time. Another possibility.

Most people don't know I can draw well. BTW - Nuclear family means "immediate" family. Nuclear means "core" and not necessarily "weapons" or "nuclear reaction."

No more Medieval games... please....

Although this gate is part of the Aurelian Walls, a similar gate on this spot would have been the site of the famous duel between Spartacus and his slave friend at the end of "Spartacus" (1960).

Exactly Acumen... I think that's why we're going to be "shipping" more than one campaign... plus, with our time period, there are just so many stories we can tell!

Whether you like one game as a whole over the other isn't what this poll is about. As far as the single player CAMPAIGN goes, AOM wins hands down. With actual special FX, a unique storyline, and fleshed out characters, it trounces all of AOK's shipped campaigns. Of course, overall gameplay is another question.

AOK had a lot more variety: Galleons, Cannon Galleons, Fireships, Demolishion Ships, Trade Cogs, and the various upgrades to them all. AOM doesn't have trade cogs or demo ships. No water trade and no other "option" (demo ships) besides the paper-rock-scisors of Arrow > Hammer > Siege ship. EDIT: BTW, where did ES pull the "hammer" ship out of? Pretty historically inaccurate.

Agreed. The female perspective is always welcome! *wonders if Ken is a closet female*

RealDeal.... What females on the team??? We have none... unless someone is a closet female. hehe

Vaevictus: And you assume a woman would automatically become offended? Most that I know would not.

This is the book Ken Wood (AKA Phoenix_RealDeal) sent me in order to assist in my Romans concept art. "All hail RealDeal!" "Hail!"

To the left of the Circus Maximus is the Imperial Palce complex sitting on the Palatine Hill.

Unfortunately in the days of the Roman Republic, both of you (the vestal and her suitor) would be buried alive. LOL

It's actually a very detailed physical model someone built! I want these people building stuff like that for me!

They look like women to me! Methinks you guys have been watching too much TV and seeing too many clothing ads!

LOL.... they aren't running. They are parading. It's the Panathenaic Procession, held once a year to honor their gods, and most importantly, their city. (Wonders if Timmy thought it was the ATHENS MARATHON)
