Except not. Alex now?

The difference is the programming of the gadget/widget itself. Performance would be the same, but I'd end up redesigning the layout to fit in Vista's gadget sidebar, which is more linear. The difference here was my ability to develop and test a widget, since Mac is my primary OS.
-
Like I said, if I learn how to develop widgets and gadgets for other operating systems and find a way to test them, I'll release additional feed-based devices.

I'm considering finding ways to port this to be available for Windows Vista as a gadget.

I'm pretty sure you've dropped in before. Anyway, welcome.
On a side note, I gotta get that tower model from you.

Ah, a much more enthusiastic showcase. Well done.

TJ (GoM) is around often, but doesn't visit here much anymore. Regardless, Gmax only doesn't work because we don't have a direct export script, however you can export to another format from Gmax, import in say, Blender, and then export out of Blender.

Sort of, except the 'phasing up' is automated. It's not like in AoM where you physically have to buy an advancement upgrade.

There are no ages, in that each civilization is 'frozen' in time. There are phases, however, that are based on the size and age of your city rather than the age of your civilization. The larger the city, the more it is capable of.
-
The problem I see with the whole 'conqueror the world' thing is that we'd end up with a massive dominating alliance of elite players that conqueror everybody and don't allow newcomers to succeed.
Instead, let's cater to clans. Through negotiations with our matchmaking host, whoever that may be, we'd develop a clan registration window. Leaders would be able to register clans (a minimum of 3 other members registered to the matchmaking service), define username prefix/suffixes to specify clan membership (or maybe even a little icon that appears next to a member's name), and a clan page could be generated where members could choose to enlist.

I think an option allowing a pre-built day/night cycle would be great for random map play. Maybe it also has effects on unit visibility, but of course that would require some extra parameters to be added to unit definitions, which means more work and a slightly longer wait for release.
-
And trust me, you'll know when it's done. We'll make sure you know.

Lost Cause This enclosed encounter shows a troop of Greek soldiers fighting their last battle against ruthless Persian enemies. This screenshot demonstrates 0 A.D. in a widescreen environment.

Click here for an accurate demonstration of a Greek phalanx and lots of units formed up.

There will very likely be improvements before we officially release the game.

Portal does look pretty darn cool. I think I'll get Orange Box when I get the chance. I've been looking at it for a while but no motivation.
-
I agree. Micromanagement can only go so far, even in an RPG. Like if you forget to brush your teeth they'll rot and you'll always have mouth pain. More realistic, yes, but terrible for gameplay.
-
Agreed.
-
Not exactly sure what you mean by a point system. Elaborate?
-
Anyone can be outnumbered.

Not in Part 1.

It'd be a fun mod for units to carry their dead into a pile and then set fire to it after a battle is over.

Alex plays Gladiatus and posted a pretty weird tutorial about how to play Company of Heroes.
