Sighvatr

I found some references to boats used in Ptolemaic Egypt ifyou want to check it out. Its located somewhere in this thread.

I suggested in another thread that specific types of formations could be included into the game as a reasearchable technology. Like researching Tetsudo in a Roman barracks for instance.

Do we have to reinstall 0 A.D. if we have the SVN version of the game?

Elephants eat greek hoplites for breakfast though. I was really surprised that spears do not counter elephants.

Or upload it somewhere that people like me can listen. I would be interested in hearing your music!

I like the elephant's eyelashes. She is a very beautiful elephant.

The Mayans would be a very difficult civilization to research, because most of their culture was destroyed. The AoK creators excuse to include Aztecs was because their obsidian weapons were sharper than Spanish steel? This is like another japanese katana versus European swords discussion. Aztec weapons were not created to kill spanish soldiers in armour.

Gotta say but this survey makes me pretty uncomfortable. Its like asking a fat guy about how many burgers he consumes a week, and how many pounds he gained from doing so.

Imperial America for the win! If it does exist in this game?

I wanted to learn old norse after I learn a modern Norse language. This is so that I can write in Futhark. Problem is that I do not know where to find such learning sources for free? It really fascinates me that countries with their own native languages would prefer speaking english at times. I think it is a popular language, because english is a combination of different languages into one dictionary. Though I know Spanish is still going pretty strong in the Americas.

I watch the original age of empires cinematic for the music. The music was strange yet very fun to listen too. If Omri Lahav created a remake on some of the original soundtrack of AoE 1, that would be so cool.

The game seems like a total rip-off. I would only get AoK if there was a total remake.

I was thinking that we start the intro by showing a town build up into a city. Then watch an army march out of town.

I thought it was typical of total war games that you unlock more factions after beating the first campaign?

Always keep cavalry in reserve to take out siege weapons, archers, and other pansy units that like to throw stuff.

Welcome and thank you for the nice looking buildings! I am in deep hopes you stick around for a while, because I look forward to seeing more of your work in game.

@Lion: That would be really cool to use relics like treasures in Age of Empires 3. If a hero picks up the relic, and deposits the relic to a temple, all heroes recieve a bonus until the temple is destroyed. Collecting relics may provide strategic value in the long run. Each civilization in the game, puts out two relics that reflects their culture, and is spread out through the map. Opposing civilizations may pick up other relics, and recieve benefits for themselves. Perhaps picking up enemy relics, and dropping it off in a temple could produce a negative effect to an enemy's hero?

I thought Romans are Etruscans? Where were the Etruscans while Rome was created?

How about in the settings menu we create a color options menu. In that menu, each player color may be adjusted by a gray and dark scale. You still keep a blue for player one, but someone who may be color blind may adjust the gray and dark of the hue.

Have 1200 AI troops attack in the last few rounds. Exaggerate the amount of enemies.

Doesn't matter the colorblind guy is going to see a different color anyways.

That would be cool. An options menu that allows you to select a color for Players 1-8 and other necessities. It would be great for people who have visual problems, and for people who have preferences for certain colors.

You could also name it as Siege mode since the players are only supposed to stay alive. I can imagine 20 Catapults, 30 Bolt shooters, and crap loads of Mauryan elephants attacking you at once.

Believe me, but I do think customizable units and buildings would be awesome. Like you could choose whether your guy starts with a Thracian or a Corinthian style helmet. But I can only see customizable units/buildings in a mod of the game. Maybe one day I may create a 0 A.D. mod where you can choose through 50-100 looks for a single unit, and always see something different for every opponent and ally you play with. That would be freaking cool.

For a possible relic, we could use the chariot Krishna drove in (Maurya), or the shield of Aeneas (Romans).
