  1. Yeah really. All three of those features would have made AoM even more incredible. It still remains my favorite game though, and it still is quite unique in terms of gameplay. They removed a lot of blood because they wanted it to be "more appropriate" and they downsized ships and naval beasts because they wanted to make the game more accessable (then zoom out dumbshits..lol), but I don't know why they went lower res on the textures and removed the dynamic lighting feature. Maybe due to time restraints?

  2. I've always thought a first-person RTS would be cool, or even a game where you play one of the characters in an RTS game instead of the God or leader position.

    Another thing I thought would be awesome is an FPS game where you play as a soldier in an ancient battle rather than these lame gun-oriented games.

  3. At this point, we're a little bit too far along to go back and fix everything. Remember, it's a video game. Play it because its fun. If a boat took up the entire screen, it might not be worth having because it could get in the way of playing the game or in some cases be unable to move. If you were to have a dock in a small lake and build a massive boat in the way, you could be obstructing fishing routes and have no way of disposing or moving this monstrous creation.

    You might also notice that the buildings aren't perfectly to scale with our units. For the same reason, our buildings are a little bit smaller so that you can build an adequate city in a small area.

    As for the unit's heads, I appreciate your input but they are correctly scaled in my mind. Look at this unit showcase image of the Persian Immortal. The heads are in proportion, and you can compare it to just about any image of a human being. :)

    Except for those with freakishly large or small heads.

  4. Welcome Finn. :)

    I would have the joy of playing RTR, but Parallels (a Mac program allowing the use of an additional operating system simultaneously, such as Windows) only supports DirectX 8.1 and RTW requires DirectX 9. Sucks.

    Anyway, enjoy the forums, enjoy the content, enjoy the teasers.
