  1. What i would like to see is rain. and im not talking about the kinda rain you see in current games. Drip drip drip is lame and boring. I want to see HUGE downpours.

    That would force players to plan there campaigns around the sesons and the weather. maybe force the units to seek shelter and halt the resource income for a 2-4 min period.

    that would give time for the player to chat with his allies, get much needed info, and plot where to attack next.

    its also very sweet eyecandy, and would look nice :D

  2. There is this new show on ABC, called EMPIRE. Its about octavian and how he becomes the 1st emperor. You guys should ckeck it out.

    I watch the 1st 2 shows, and they are VERY good. Lots of history, and some historical errors :D . its worth the watch. Plus, its filmed in rome and italian countryside, and the scenery is WOW :D .

  3. about that job opening, is the javascript the one used on websites? or a home-made one?

    I scripted with javascript before for a free web based rpg engine.

    javascript is pretty easy, and i have used XML alot of times.

    I also got alot of free time, 3+ hours a day.

    If u think I would have a good chance at geting the job, tell me and ill fill out the application. I just wanna know my chances of being accepted before filling out the application.

    Oh yeah, your talking bout Javascript only, not Java the programming language, cuz thats beyond me. :)

  4. after alot of thinking, i decided to move away from doing a RTS game and go in another direction.

    I am trying to become a game designer. I see alot of historical RTS games done and I dont really want to reinvent the wheel. 0AD will be an AWSOME game and I would really like to do something original.

    I got to thinking, then I opened up 3ds max and played around for a bit. Then I got a cool idea. A hybrid FPS/RPG type game based in the bronze age.

    Then I got out the powerfull pen and paper and started writing up a design.

    The game will be a combat sim, which will take place during the trojan war. You will be a warrior, and for most part, will play like an RPG, leveling and gaining experiance. But the diffrence is that you will gain EXP by not fighting computer monsters, but other players in an online battle.

    The game will start on a level, which both sides have a series of objectives to compleat. for example, the greeks might need to capture the beach of troi, then the cliff, then some supply route to win the level, while the trojans will need to defend all 3 for a set amounts of minets to win the objective.

    this will force players to work together to get the job done. making it seem like a true battle.

    I have no programming skill at all. ;) but i do have art skills, i can texture, animate, and some modeling.

    im sure with alot of help, a team ill assemble, and your imput, i can pull this off and have a great "fully 3D" bronze age warfare game.

  5. alright, after alot of thinking, i have decided to go with the idea for a Bronze Age game/mod.

    now, i have thought up the civs and decided to go with 6 civs:

    Egyptians

    Hittites

    Minoan

    Mycenaean

    Sumerian

    Babylonian

    now i would need a list of units. if any of you can list a good unit to have, along with the civ its for, i would be in your debt. :)

  6. yeah, i have worked with the idea befor for a few years and had a rather indepth game design going. The problem started when my small team fell apart due to the people going off to collage. :)

    I also translated most of vergil's Aeneid for latin class, so I also got a huge intrest in that time period.

    if i start that game, would you people be interested in small scale helping, such as ideas, brainstorming.... the fun brainwork. ;)

    yeah, Minoans and there flush toilets. if i was living back then, id live in there city's just for the toilets. :(

  7. Im thinking bout making a RTS game or a mod for 0AD when its out. But I would like some basic ideas on what the plot should be.

    I had 2 ideas, but I dont really know which one will be better accepted by everyday gamers.

    Idea 1: This idea is kinda like a warcraft game. Set in a fantasy world with that kind of feel.

    Idea 2: I worked on a game befor this, but the programming fell apart, the graphics are still usefull. The idea is an old history game. Set in the time of anchent sumeria and egypt.

    u guys have any input on what I should do? both of the ideas work fine on paper. also, if u can think up something else thats original, post it. Im trying to do something thats original.

  8. Heck NO! MY faction, the "Sarmatians Knights" will own all those wanna be warriors. Only the true Sarmatians will leave the battle field alive.

    Our skill as horsemen and our awsome cavalry will win us the day.

    Oh yeah, and for being born in the Sarmatians lands, I get a head start. :)

    In the fifth century BCE, the Greek researcher Herodotus of Halicarnassus, the author of the Histories, describes the Sauromatae as the descendants of Scythian fathers and Amazon mothers.

    hehe, my great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great great Grandmother was an Amazon! :)

  9. Persian architecture changed more then you talked about when Alexander came into persia. From what I have read, the hellenistic style evolved into the later sassanid styal.

    Also, if you look at the roman cities that were built over the old persian ones, they look much more greek then roman or persian.

  10. I saw this in the months accomplishments:

    "Built multiplayer connection / IP hosting screen and message box."

    Im making a game also, but my programming skill is kinda limited. Can you show me this one particular script? if not, can the dude who did this walk me thoughyt the basics of connecting the game useing IP?

  11. about the horses standing in deeper water then non horse units. well, thats kinda unfair for civs with bad horse units. imagin my army of horse archer units standing in deep water and killing your nicly formed army and you cant do a thing about it except run, while i mow down your units. :) Not a nice sight for you to see.

  12. I dont think i want to play the game, see a huge roman town, then scroll over to my celtic ally and see a huge celtic town. Thats unrealistic, first celtic towns were small, and second celtic families were big, might as well have there homes hold twice as much pop as a roman house, that will make celtic towns small, but wont put them at a disadvantage. Mabie make them cost a bit more then roman homes becuse rome did have better building materials.
