  1. ...and that is via progress because progress is getting things done, which counteracts entropy. Less entropy frees time to get things synced.

    To add a small remark: Entropy always increases (globally). There is, as far as I know, no known way to prevent this.

    The law that entropy always increases holds, I think, the supreme position among the laws of Nature. If someone points out to you that your pet theory of the universe is in disagreement with Maxwell's equations — then so much the worse for Maxwell's equations. If it is found to be contradicted by observation — well, these experimentalists do bungle things sometimes. But if your theory is found to be against the second law of thermodynamics I can give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation.

    I guess the point is that if you do slinger rush, you should weigh if the extra 5 slingers you can get out (and the bonus throughout the rest of the game) do more damage to the opponent than to your future development.

    If you've chosen "wrongly" in the beginning, you have to "suffer" later on, quite realistic in my opinion.

    While I kind of like the option of researching the "dismissed" techs in more advanced phases, I think they should be very expensive, so that you may be able to get some additional techs through this path, but not all.

    Imho tech pairing is one of the points that made this game stand out.

  3. You know how much of greek, carthaginian and so on knowledge the romans absorbed, don't you?

    Don't get me wrong, I like the romans, but not the slightest bit your absolutely obnoxious arrogance.

    If you claim the Romans for Roman catholicism and thus the drive to build cathedrals, can I claim the Romans to be guilty for the sexual abused victims by priests? It's the same logical structure...

  4. You know Cornelis de Jagers Radosophie?

    He measured 4 parameters of a dutch womens bicycle and with few mathematical operations he obtained the gravitational constant, the speed of light, the fine-structure constant, the ratio of the mass of proton to the mass of the electron - and all with a deviation of less then 10^-4

    So the builders of the dutch womens bicycle must have had a deep knowledge about our universe and its structure! ;)

    Fact is, if you can choose your system arbritarily and use arbritarily mathematical operations you can get any number you want with any accuracy you want, so I would use ockhams razor here.

  5. Can't you read? The balancing is mainly for normal games, so who the heck would mass expensive elephants if the enemy could take them down with some cheap skirmishers?

    If you try to defend against elephants with buildings thats not the fault of the game...

    Again, go to #0ad and play a match against e.g. quantumstate, and mass your elephants... :P
