H.Balck, thank you for explanation.
Any plans to add Rodelero (sword and buckler), Tercio Pikeman and perhaps also Conquistador (horseman with full armour, without horse barding and with handgun)?

I really like the way this game is going and I'm very excited for its release. One thing I wanted to say is that for your next expansion pack, instead of going forward in time, I think you should go back. Vandals and Ostrogoths are not as cool as Sumerians, Mycenaean, Shang China, and Hittites.
There is one word missing in your text. "IMHO".

idk, most torrents download with 3.5 MBs/sec for me o_O
I downloaded lot of porn from one Romanian. Could that be you?
He was pretty fast.
-
+Torrents are faster
I disagree.
There is no rule what is faster and what is not. Direct downloads rely on server, torrents on seeders.
I have here two torrents which are darn slow. Also, torrents have disadvantage, that you can end up at some percents and can't proceed further because the one who has remaining chunks is away.
I did hang up for pretty long time with torrent at 97%. I don't remember if I managed to get it eventually or gave up.

That is not fault.
Anyone else would do the same. His plans aren't surprising.
-
Right you are. I'll fix it.

You may tell your Lord that we have had many times when we were outnumbered but still held the Line. THIS IS EARTH!
Battle of Alamo
189 Texans versus 6000 at least Mexicans
Texans- 189 dead
Mexicans- 1200-1500 dead
So you chose stronger but smaller number and were beaten. Also Mythos rectifies this a lot.
Sorry, but only excellent commander or super units x Peasants can win 1:10. There are only rare exceptions.
Also, Alamo was fortress, wasn't it. That is really difference than battle in open field

But if you have svn repository, you most probably have it on some server.
If you commit to svn, you use command
svn ci -m "Comment"
And "Comment" could be exported to rss automaticall. I don't find this that impossible.

The phalanx was weak against cavalry?, I never tough that, I think that every closed formation of spearmans will be good against cavalry
Who says otherwise?

Arguments again:
Well, user should decide what to see or not. Parental locks, firewall and other such tools are available.
Parents are responsible for their children, not state or ISP. Unless really we want 1984 happen.
He, who trades freedom for security, deserves neither and will loose both.

Debian?
Which one? Stable, testing or unstable?
Stable is rock solid, but you get old software.
Testing has newer software but still far from bleeding edge.
Unstable? Quite bleeding edge (there is still software which is not up to date) but suffers from relative instability (well, but it was still quite stable for me) and sometimes dependency hell occurs.
However, Debian is more suggested for advanced users. There is real chance that it will demotivate you.
I started with it, but I remember that it was pain.
Also, Nvidia will be another pain. Actually, it should work fine, but I think, that drivers aren't in repository.
At least I was installing them manually.
But when you perform update of kernel you need to reinstall them. If you perform update of xorg, you need to reinstall them, too, because 3d apps would cause your xorg to crash.
I'd suggest you starting with Ubuntu. When you gain experience, you may switch (or may be not).
Decision is up to you, but Debian isn't designed for desktop. Its main purpose is server. Consider it, decide wisely, be warned and prepared for problems.
Ubuntu isn't flawless at all. But is widespread for a reason. And this reason is far from same to Windows.
Be patient, don't be afraid to think, don't be afraid to ask and community will help you.

Battles aren't decided by soldiers, but by generals.
Good commander can harden even green troops and if he uses them wisely, numbers and skills of his own soldiers don't matter that much.

At least six of the United Kingdom's main Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have implemented monitoring and filtering mechanisms that are causing major problems for UK contributors on websites operated by the Wikimedia Foundation, amongst up to 1200 other websites.
After China and Australia another "Great Wall" appears.

I must say that it is great.
Few details I spotted, West Europeans didn't use composite recurved bow AFAIK. And strings on bows and xbows should be straight, not curved.
Also, Later Equites IMHO didn't use this kind of helmet. These were probably used by Macedonians.
But other than that, it is great.
How was it done? In 3D modeler and then rendered?

RSS of revision log doesn't seem to be updated for some time. Where is the problem?
-
Keep in mind, that if ships were scaled properly, you would consume whole pop limit to man one ship.
And battles would be chaotic because you would loose control due to large ships.
Also, buildings are also scaled down. It is all necessary and acceptable compromise.
-
Excellent.
I'll try to do packages for openSUSE when it is available.
Little advertisement on website of Czech Linux community won't hurt, too.
BTW, I like revision log. I put atom to my RSS reader. Thank you for that.

But it wouldn't be 0AD we are anticipating.
When you do something for fun, outcome is different than when you do it as duty.
Also, commercial games are forced to be done ASAP and so contain many flaws (not that doing software for fun makes flawless software, but ...) with which are these barely playable.
Also, interest in historical accuracy is often sacrificed to money.
-
How can I understand "Updated public SVN logger"?
There will be public svn repository?
Will 0AD be OSS?

Spartans weren't the only ones.
Yeniceri were even more hardcore.
-
Soldiery itself is hardcore.
Imagine yourself in position of Hoplite in first line who knows that fellow behind him is waiting for his death so he can replace him.
Same with modern warfare. Imagine average expected length of existence of tank (and so his crew) or any other field weapon.
Also, being Russian soldier in WW2 was really hardcore.
"Didn't you get weapon? Rob nearest corpse." It wasn't applied through whole war, but hardcore anyway?
But 1 killed German on 9 killed Russians says everything.
-
I'm not opposing you reasons as I expected them and these are really reasonable.
However, do you use features which aren't in Free Software alternatives? Ie. GIMP or Blender etc.
I mean, choice is yours, I'm just curious.

Did they starve to death after realizing, that they can't eat bowl?
New Game idea
in General Discussion
Posted · Edited by Belisarivs
Well, I know that simply soldiers, who came to conquer New World were called Conquerors - Conquistadors.
That is why I have said "perhaps also".
Mostly I recall them as those depicted in AoK.
It can be same to word "Knight". Knight can fight on foot with fellow companions side by side, knight doesn't have to fight at all (as today are people still knighted), but generally, when you imagine knight, it is heavy cavalryman.
Same to Conquistador. Not every man could have horse, but ideally, he would have one. And also, he would have some pistol, too.
BTW: Sorry for OT, but why are Hastati called so when Hasta was used by Triarii?
