  13. Additional Civs you'd like to see?

    Indeed Vit, there is very little difference! At a purely technicolor dream level I would like to do the Germanics as a general civ with two branches: one for the earlier Germanics of the 1st century AD (Teutoburg Wald era - Suebi/Cherusci/Chatti) and the second for the famous Germanics of the 2nd century AD (the Marconmani Wars era - Marcomanni and Quadi). The main difference being that the Marcomanni and their allies had much better equipment and weapons than the Suebi. Obviously the Suebi would train units faster but on the flip side they would also die quicker. The tradeoff is there. That being said the Suebi branch would probably have one of the highest natural hitpoints for any unit, so assuming one could tech them up a ways it would be impressive.

    On a purely hypothetical level, what other civilizations and peoples would you like to see in 0 AD if you had to chance to mod them in or WFG put out an expansion pack?

    For myself, I'd like to put in the:

    Illyrians

    Thracians

    Scythians

    Diadochi, most likely the Seleucids

    Anyone else?

    Life is going great :) I've just finished my last final, so this year of university is done. Time to make some money for next year! :D

    The game is coming along quite nicely. You have had a chance to look at the screenshot section of the site I'm sure. That gives a great visual reference to the game's status. And there is always something new being added.

    Curu, good question, he's just up and disappeared. But I'm sure he's going to turn up. As I said before, a lot of older members are coming back :angry: We know its really happening when Aldaron or frieddog shows up.

  24. Israel invents a "force field"?

    That is a little strange, but it figures that research impetus would start where the money was coming from.

    My interest started with my dad, who as a private pilot got me very interested in WWII aviation and air combat in general. That kick started me into military topics of pretty much all areas. Plus both of my grandfathers fought in WWII, one with the US Army (saw action at the Battle of the Bulge) and the other with the Croation Army, and this gave me further interest in military topics in general.

    An interest in ancient combat started when I was about 5 years old as I flipped through my copy of Usborne's History of the World :) Since age 6 I was pretty much a lost cause :D Pretty much now I am a hopeless addict for anything remotely connected to weapons, armor, tactics, or history. As a by product I also have an uncurable attraction to epic literature :wine:

    Obviously through your dad I'm sure you've gotten the chance to sit in a Leopard or two, or even a T-72 :angry: Had a chance to see an example of the later in the Canadian War Museum. Must say that is an impressive vehicle, although the Centurion next to it was a bit more to my liking (unfortunately I couldn't affoard that much gas). In addition they have a T-34 that fought at Kursk and all the way to Berlin. Must say that was the brutest machine I have ever seen in my life ;)
