    "Throws"? What works best against rams is blades; that's why women with their daggers work, too.

    @scones Dude/Dudette, nobody will be trialing us. Or anybody else for playing a video game. In fact the Red Cross could cause us trouble, if we used their red cross symbol. I'm not sure if we actually changed our healing icon from red to green because of that, but I know that no matter how niche a game, they will come after you and make you stop using it.

    Yeah, as I wrote more about "raising awareness". The campaign was only a peg. FPS or RTS or any other genre: a war crime is a war crime. And any game is played ~now, a time where the concept is established. I didn't really expect anything to come out of this discussion, other than raising the question if we want genocide as the default setting.

    I just wanted to ask the forums' members if they think we should keep the default settings as they are, as they are currently encouraging (fictitious) war crimes; those are currently "glorified/justified" as they are necessary to win.

    This thread is not about that. (I don't believe it either.) I might be wrong, but I think that historical warfare was usually more about capturing lands and people and not about annihilating a certain people.

    Recently the Red Cross launched a campaign against committing war crimes in video games; I guess it's more to raise awareness than to actually change gamers' behavior. Personally, killing pixel-people including pixel-civilians (= genocide) doesn't wake the urge in me to transfer that into real life, but I wondered if you had an opinion about that, maybe changing the default settings to a non-bloody victory condition like a wonder victory?

    Hmmm. Maybe that was the case in this instance. (How long is a tick?) As for earlier occurrences I don't remember if I set the waypoint just immediately before the units came out.

    Sometimes it happens that soldiers spawn and not go to their waypoint (the next batch came out of the barracks and went to work). I don't remember that from previous versions.

    Archaeological Treasures of Uzbekistan - From Alexander the Great to the Kushan Empire A new exhibition in Berlin. Ever heard of the Kushan empire?

    Later the warnings and errors really popped up: logs3523II.zip Don't know if something's still wrong with the Ngorongoro map.

    @wowgetoffyourcellphone When I think of CDPR, I think how they abused their employees (crunch...), lied (about the state of the upcoming Cyberpunk) and then the execs greedily awarded themselves billions $; I guess you could call that "cancer".

    I guess: This sounds like AOE4 and that's bad.

    @Sodalite Just use cheats.

    It's probably due to gameplay/balancing reasons, but I find it really unrealistic that worker elephants can't do any damage. Anyone who has ever seen an elephant lose its temper knows they are nothing to trifle with.

    The description for the Nubia biome always strikes me as wrong; "a dry climate in which only the hardy Baobab tress thrive". While in fact you get more wood from Date Palms and Acacias. (Still not enough for me to actually play those maps.)

    @Omen That someone also told you to follow the instructions (in the first post)...
  20. Gurken Khan
    @Omen Follow the link (and instructions) above your post.

    @MarcusAureliu#s I might be wrong about the state of AI (chatbots) but I think they wouldn't give you an explanation for a "MICRO" acronym that comes out as "MIDRO".
  22. Gurken Khan
    Yup.
  23. Gurken Khan
    I like that idea.
  24. Gurken Khan
    Not at all.
  25. Gurken Khan
    Looks interesting. "Dorf" means "village" in German, but I didn't find what the acronym supposedly stands for.
