"I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain." I like how the story intertwines Western Stoicism with Buddhism and Islam. It also turns the "messiah" myth on its head. Thug Notes gives an analysis on that last bit:

I don't know how it's difficult to understand that some people develop different skillsets and that the team doesn't need to be chock full of Renaissance Savants. It's a team for a reason, because not everyone can or will do everything. Folks with different skillsets and talents come together to create a worthwhile product. It boggles my mind that when people like your work and want to see more of it, you turn around and yell, "No, you do it!" I mean, what are you even here for anyway?

Typically, I like two-worded names for things. So, Neareastern Badlands instead of just Badlands (Badlands could be fine if it's just generic). It's just more descriptive. Maybe Cappadocian Badlands instead of just Cappadocia. Honestly, I have a lot of disagreement with some on the team about how maps should work, but maybe I'll make an extensive proposal thread.

Agreed. Middle East too? But Cappadocia is a good name too.

A noble gameplay mechanic! Attack-Group!

So, I'm writing my Leonidas for Oscar Isaac. Gigachad Atreides^ On another note, I can't wait for a Dune 2000 RTS remake. I can already imagine the factions. Atreides, Harkonnen, Imperium, Fremen.

This can be done very easily, and it could even be limited to civs who would've at least had access to them or actually used them in combat, but sparingly. Can limit them to a 10 match limit or something. Romans would be a good candidate for this nuance; Persians and Macedonians as well.

Can't wait for the Delenda Est video from @mysticjim. Should eclipse Villeneuve's DUNE in scope and spectacle.

It's the soft formations.

@Stan` @Freagarach Perhaps CCs should: <Identity> <Undeletable>true</Undeletable> </Identity>

I cannot reproduce this. The tactic still works for me.

Good choice. Perhaps a "Wonder of the World" for "Capture the Wonder" game mode.

What are these from?

I will agree that mercs should start at adv and stay there. Leave promoting to the citizen soldiers.

Make it easy to get to Advanced, but difficult to get to Elite. Or double the XP needed to promote, and have some Rank Techs.

I'll definitely wait for a sale first.

Black part = player color?

Very nice.

I don't know. This guy never read the books or watched the original and he followed along just fine:

Please, no more series when a book can easily be told in 1, 2 or 3 movies.

No sand worms; no dice. I don't think anyone would have any trouble following along. It's not that complicated.

Well, it's only half the book. 2nd half comes in 2nd film.

Add 25% more experience needed to reach rank 3?
