  1. Lol. Thanks for the info. So many further programs can/will be made off of this engine?
  2. Oh, okay. So they're just conceptualizing or summat 'til then?
  3. Either way, there haven't been too many recorded instances of such behavior for women. Then again, Britain isn't regular, even less so in a specifically irregular unit. The thought of six-feet tall women charging at me arrayed in battle regalia does scare me.
  4. There'd be quite a bit of "shrinkage" (see Seinfeld). It might even be safer, since there's be less projection. Just a thought. Yeah. I really don't want to see men running about pantless, even for accuracy's sake. Just the same as I don't want to see child sacrifice or arms getting hacked off in battle.
  5. I have been wondering...I know that the two projects are using the same engine. However, I'm not sure how the projects are proceeding relatively compared to one another. Which one will be released first? And will the first one finished help the other one, or will it remain engrossed in patches and expansions? Looking at the screenshots, I'd say that 0 A.D. was at a higher level of creation. Given that all I've found of the Last Alliance is somewhat rough shots of varying types of terrain. Please, ease my ignorance softly.
  6. Point taken. My thought really depends on how you would change workers to citizen-soldiers. I don't know, so I can't even really tell how feasible it is. Do they go to the village center or barracks, or can they just change at their workstations, or even just wherever they're at?
  7. I don't like any sort of Mexican food chain. I might be spoiled because of the fact that having a majority of Hispanics leads to some really Mexicanly good Mexican food. Oh. And Taco Bell uses Just-Add-Water Beef.
  8. Or you could have various shrines or other such things that grant income (from pilgrimages and donations and such) that a player could capture or place a temple over. For instance, a certain temple to Zeus could only be built if you had under your control a statue to Zeus. Or something to that effect. Or it could be sort of like the Housing system in Empire Earth.
  9. A layman can also be a "tyro", someone who is unskilled or a novice in whatever trade or skill set he is pursuing. Dude. That sounded half-decent. -Writes his own dictionary.-
  10. Lol. I have...256MB. I thought that was big, too. It works, though. I can do everything I need (AIM + MSN Messenger, WMP, 0AD Forums) all at once. And if I close everything, I can play just about any game I want.
  11. I think that actually hits on a rather good idea. Citizen-soldiers with versatile weapons. Cavalry rushing you? Choose the "Spear" option when you do whatever you do to turn your dudes from villagers to warriors. And also, because of the 3D thingy (as I probably poorly understand it), it wouldn't be too hard to make spears. Or swords. I guess arrows wouldn't be needed because of structural defenses. You'll probably end up saying the same thing to this idea, too, though.
  12. But the psychological effects of a religious statue or monument are unavoidable. Fanaticism is only one of the more obvious effects; at the most subtle level, people simply were happier (thus working harder, if you can agree with utilitarians and/or socialists) thinking that the gods would not smite them down with lightning, plagues, and what have you. Above that, people in general also seem to fight harder when old traditions and religion is at stake, or needs to be spread. Crusades, Jihads, whatever. Religion grants energy to the otherwise unmotivated. Religion, as the (if nothing else) clever Marx once said, is the opiate of the masses.
  13. This was an excellent run of screenshots. To see the progress made in the eight months I've been here is absolutely mind-blowing.
  14. Lol. I think he'd find some fault with the voice acting in the clip.
  15. Good articles. Informative and everything they should be.
  16. Oh! Oh! I know! Lasers! No...Wait! I has to be...ponies with laser-shooting eyes that never miss, and can't melt walls!
  17. -Onslaughts all up in Paul's grill(s).- Lol. I like it, but that's just because it's a superb pop-up blocker and spyware deflector. Other than that, it's a choice of personal style.
  18. It was all right, for me. It was the fact that most civilizations can easily be classified into two groups: 'Rush', and 'Boom'. They didn't all have a unique feel when playing them. It's hard to explain what exactly I mean, but it's still one of the major reasons I like the 0 A.D. project.
  19. And longbows weren't even too accurate unless in massive volleys, because it's sized required it to be shot upwards. If I'm not too mistaken.
  20. Can't you set parameters on random maps?
  21. And it sort of appears to some people as something not very dissimiliar. Why do some people always want 23421381234234327430697494523 civs, instead of a few good and varied ones with nice unique art? I've never gotten it. Also, all that stuff that guy wants done might take ten years.
  22. I got a "Kramer Focus" electric with a crappy amp for about two hundred dollars. It works fine. With electrics, a great deal of your sound quality will come from your strings, amp, cables, and effectmajjigers. Most of an electric guitar is just a conduit for sound to travel from your strings.
  23. Did your hand get slimey? Mostly kidding. I don't think that stuff runs. I don't think I've met too many people besides local politicians, and Senator(D) Barbara Boxer. She's kind of creepy, even if I agree with her politics.
