    No, it's not merely a curiosity, it's an example of the profound influence Tolkien has had on our popular culture and language. Many fantasy games and books started using "dwarves" instead of "dwarfs", after Tolkien. Dictionaries are descriptive, not prescriptive, therefore "dwarves" is nowadays included as an alternative plural. (Also, the folklore and fantasy meaning of dwarf is now commonly listed before the "an abnormally small person" entry.) Likewise "hobbit" and "orc" have entered the dictionary. By writing "dwarves" you showed you yourself are influenced by the works of J. R. R. Tolkien, without realizing it.

    However, words are not copyrightable, nor are concepts or ideas. Tolkien's "mithril" has been included in possibly hundreds of games, including Age of Mythology, and there is a Noldor ship in 0 A.D. Erring on the safe side is often sound advice, but one can err too much, and limit oneself unnecessarily. A lot more is legal than many people assume or claim.

    Uh, that definitely dependa in your country...

    no, because I can't understand exactly how to create the "local.cfg" file and what to write in this text file or what to modify.

    I'm not an expert on linux but I can manage to do manipulations to create the personal configuration file if i'm explained step by step !

    Can you help me ?

    (I'm French and use an online translator to understand all this! )

    Already seen that? https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/HotKeys#CustomHotKeys

    The shield is flat, only the 3 middle gems are prominent like the reference, and is saved by the name brit_battersea_shield, only need to make the wood back and is good to go.

  16. Regicide Hero can’t Garrison Ship

    This is kind of intentional, to prevent the player from just parking his hero onto a ship and hiding him out in the middle of the ocean, thus unnecessarily prolonging the end game in a Herocide match.

     

     

    THOOOOOUGH, I think with the Spies tech, this potential problem has lessened somewhat. Perhaps it can be revisited.

    Afaik you can allow hero garrison in gamesetup by setting a checkbox in gamesetup.

    Wrt spies: Do we already allow spying heroes?

  17. [SVN] Construction Bug

    It happened playing as the Kushites. As the game went on with more structures than I mentioned, including CC's and towers. My AI Seleucid ally had a similar issue, with a tower stuck almost halfway done, perhaps cause I assisted with it's construction (but I'm not sure if it stuck at the point I started assisting). I didn't save the replay, but should be my last game played, would it be accessible?

    All replays are saved automatically.

  18. New Territory Borders

    in Art Development

    Posted

    What about redoing the territory borders like it's proposed in

    So a clean long smooth alpha transition towards the inside of the territory. (This imho looks nicer and also has the advantage, that the player can easily distinguish inside and outside of the territory)

    (The art files are binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/misc/territory_border.png and binaries/data/mods/public/art/textures/misc/territory_border_mask.png. The size can be changed in binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/data/territorymanager.xml.)

  22. Paired Techs Bugs

    So, I don't know if this happens in Vanilla, because there is a distinct lack of paired techs in Vanilla, but in DE I noticed that it looks like the cost requirement for both techs in a pair must be met for me to research either one. 

     

    In this shot, you see I am attempting to research Battlefield Triage for 300 food and 200 glory, which I have enough of, but the game says I have insufficient wood.

    Here, I am attempting to research Sluicing, which costs food and wood, but the game says I have insufficient metal. 

    Will look into that. (Ping me here, if there is nothing new regarding that in the next days)

    They all look nice, but for gameplay reasons I'd stick with one colour theme per unit, perhaps with minor variations. Maybe the white or bronze one, or a mix of the two (maybe the white shoulder-pteryges on the bronze version), as the less intrussive ones to the various possible teamcolours.

    Shouldn't there also be some player color?

    And for the remaining color: that could be the different ranks.
