  2. ( I might every now and then ... why? Well, I don't really know ... I just like to know that my enemy is staying on his side until I attack him
  3. ( Well, AoM is small too ... 3 + 1 with TT .... 6 is enormously big
  4. ( Real History : the making of the Great Pyramid of Gizeh ... such a gigantic building it must have been. So many people must have been involved (or is it just a space ship that landed there by mistake? ) Middle-Earth History : ... I guess I don't have to answer that. Sounds too obvious
  5. ( just wondering something ... Does anyone where the word "Chipotle" come from? In France, we have a kind of sausage which we call "Chipolata" which originates from Spain ... and it sounds too close to "Chipotle" to be a coincidence. Just like "Chicanos" comes from the Americans distortion of "Mexicanos" ... since they could not pronounce the "x" properly ... they turned it into a "ch" ...
  6. ( Well, so far, our mod may be smaller (as for the 3D) that regular 0AD buildings and the units may just be the same size ...

If so, I thought it would appear ... I also thought that it may have been my MotM reward ... but I thought it was 5 Rep+ ... not 5 Rep - ... Thank you for answering.
  9. ( in France, most games cost €29.99 ... or €34.99 for the most expensive ... Besides, I think ZeZar's idea is a good one.

  11. ( I didn't take part in the vote ... I am not in there ! Anyway, I thought it was a poll for VIPs or Guardians, but I noticed you inserted yourself in TheCobra1 ... not very fair ...
  12. ( It was on October 27th, 1989 ... I will always remember that day ... it was a Sunday. It was during the autumn holidays. I was 11. I stayed at a friend's house since we were supposed to go fishing early on the Monday. We were having dinner, but we were bored so we left the table and went outside to play. We enjoyed when my friend had to go to the toilets ... I waited for him in front of the house. The toilets had a little window which opened to the front of the house, just where I was waiting. So, when he was finished, instead of coming back, he had the great idea of opening the little window and threw water at me ... I wanted to grab him, so I placed my hand through the little window. Alas! at the same moment, he was closing the window ... my hand crashed the glass, but my hand was not hurt. It is just after that I moved my hand back and the shards of glass literally cut my right-hand wrist ... all my tendons were cut, I was losing a lot of blood. However, oddly enough, it did not hurt. I went inside the house and I asked his mum if she had a little thing to place on my wrist. As soon as she saw the wound, she went white. She took the keys, did not talk and we got into the car ... I remember she was asking me all the way if I was fine ... and not to sleep! Anyway, after that, I remember she asked me my mum's phone number and I can see myself at the ER, on a bed. Then, all I can remember is in the operating room, with the surgeon touching my hand. I still have the scar now and I think it will remain there for the rest of my life. I still have little problems with it. My sensitivity is not as good, and my wrist hurts now and then according to the weather or when I use it too much. The only good point is that October 27th is actually my wife's birthday ... when I hurt myself, she was probably celebrating It is a good way of remembering it to be honest
