    Wait a sec, I thought the Greeks disdained and didn't use anything in the military that was used by the horse saying, "A horse's only ability is to carry a man swiftly from the battlefield (Or something like that)."

    Will the Greeks have horse units?

    Bears, camels, deer, donkeys, elephants, goats, horses, sheep, tigers, walruses, whales, and wolves. That's all the info I've got. In fact, I've got pictures of each one of them (most of them low poly) that I kept. If it's not against any rules I can post them here.

    I also have boats, units, buildings, trees, ect... for anyone who wants them. :)

    Preview? You mean the game play video? If that's what you're talking about, then it's already out. But I think you have the beta and the public preview mixed up. They're the same. :)

    BOT, Saurabh, I would like to see a link to your game. Sounds awesome.

    Thanks. :)

    Unfortunately, I don't have the computer software (Like photoshop) to do something computer animated like I had hoped. The characters are relatively easy to come up with. Like, what comes up when you think of Michael? Easy - Greek hoplight. What about Seth? Some Egyptian infantryman with a skin-plated shield. Jason? Some barbarian with a hammer. :) Zezar? Viking! At first, my brother (Daenar) pinged the general character off of the spud patatoes from Keen Dreams (DOS game). I modified it a bit.

    *Opening music*

    Well, hello, ladies and gentlemen of the WildFireGames Community! I'm Joe Bail (A.K.A. TheCobra1), your new WFGBBC news reporter.

    First, for some unofficial news, I'll give you a rundown on one person in our community that we're lucky to have with us today. At approximately 9:37 A.M. on Saturday Paul Basar (A.K.A. Paal_101) was driving through town in his Audi, enjoying the cool morning breeze when, for the heck of it, he threw his COPS dvd out the window. Little did he know that what would have been a very foolish act had actually stopped and diverted a sniper's 50 cal. bullet that was driving right in the direction of his head. We're glad you're still with us, Paul.

    Now, for some official news.

    It looks like our own Michael (A.K.A. Mythos Ruler) has produced a new screenshot! Yes, at last we get to see some water with a ship on it. The brireme looks marvelous, guys. You can look at it here: http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/album_page.php?pic_id=11035

    Michael also excited a great deal of WFG's active community during his press conference on the 28th by saying "A select[ed] few people (20-30) will get something [in the way of beta] this year." When I attempted to dig into this more, Erik Johansson (A.K.A. Feneur) replied "Well, you'll know when the time has come. Right now you'll have to wait though." And is was promptly followed by Villi drooling, Lysimachus hoping he'll be one of the few, and friedd0g concurring.

    Our very own Joseph (A.K.A. TheCobra1) quickly slapped together a comic strip for me that includes Paal_101 and TheCobra1. You can view that here:

    Well, that will be all for our first WFGBBC news flash. I'm Joe Bail, thank you and good night.

    Beautiful! Michael, when you said that the ships were cool, I didn't know you meant this cool. Simply amazing! I love the water, trees, people, ect...

    Villi, Guardian, evidence gathered by the Cluclux faction on the Eastern side of Mars (Near the Salou pole) shows that the ancient Greeks and Xanthians actually used a huge mechanical pulley system to row their ships. Hence the small space. That is WFG's excuse... right? :P

    Once again, simply amazing, WFG. :-)

    Finished Reading!

    And re-reading The Silmarillion is not a bad idea either.

    Haha, the last thing he wants to hear is that it wouldn't be a 'bad idea' if he re-read a book that took him around a year to read. :)

    I believe I read all of the books mentioned above (Lord of the Rings, The Silmarillion, and The Hobbit) in about 8-9 months. My favorite was Return of the King. Usually, the longer the book is the more you grow attached to the characters. That was something that was wrong with The Bridge to Terebithia. The first half of The Silmarillion was, well, really boring.

    Good luck with your reading endeavor, HG! :)
