See site:
CrossOver Office is application for Linux and MAC OS which allows running Windows apps.
Codeweavers support development of WINE project.
It is shame, that I can't have an access to it, but at least some of you can. Enjoy.

Hi.
Feel free to contribute in any way.
I was planning to make For Honour and Glory to be modbase for additionall extensins.
Simply, GUI interface and 2 civilistions would be made and if anyone missed some nation, he could use what was already done and add another nation.
Therefore no there are no tasks assigned to people, but rather freelance nature is applied.
Abadu wanted to do research and he did a great one. So the same to you. Do you want to contribute? No problem. Find task you are best in and do whatever you wish.
We rely more on common sense and expect none will make Elven faction with rocket launchers ...
What is your speciality? 3D modelling? Texturing? Which tools do you use?
Check formus or some FAQ (not that one relatind to our mod) to see which is the output format.
I think Collada for meshes and dds for textures. But I'm not sure.
Simply, do whatever you wish and way you wish, but make sude it can be used in 0AD mod.
These are only restrictions in programs you can use.

Don't forget that ODF and to some extent even "Open"XML are XML.

There are two points of view on this problem.
One, that Mythos described and one he marked as confusing.
When you are tossing a coin, there is always probability 1:1. If you toss coin 1000 times, next toss is also 1:1 one.
However, it is possible to calculate probability, that this will happen.
I don't remember how to calculate it, but my guess is "probability x attempts", which suggests 100%, but it depends on how do you calculate probability.
Sperm (actually, chromosomes X and Y carried by sperm) don't really care, but is it really possible that one man had 20 boys and no girl or you tossed 1000x eagle?
-
With overwhelming numbers and skilled usage of formations this will be possible in 0 A.D.
So I will need both or one of them?
-
I have got some French and British blood in me, The Celts shall be ruled by me!
French and British? Germanic, IMHO.
-
Well, in real life certain troop types countered other troop types.
But in real life could be counters defeated by units they were counter to.
-
What about World War Two?
1) Poland was conquered, not taken over.
2) It wasn't conquered by Germans themselves but with cooperation with Soviets.
-
Although off the scope of 0AD, I'd vote to put this one among the articles (although separated to some "extras" section).
-
Poland was actually never taken over by Germany.
It was German vassal, but that was King of Bohemia, Hungary and France as well.
English King (from title Duke of Normandy) was vassal of French king for some time.
-
Aren't the Turks in the time of 0 AD just a tribe in the Persian Empire in Asia and Asia Minor?
Definitely not in Asia Minor.
Asia Minor was badly depopulated during conflict between East Rome and Persians after Maurices assassination.
Turks didn't come here until 11. century.
-
Got an idea.
What if units with high rank gathered at same rate as normal units, but when gathering, their rank would decrease?
There would be no need for balancing and it would be players choice to find balance between gathering army of noobs and high ranking army, but without resources.
Simple and effective IMHO.
-
You mean partitioning of Poland?
It wasn't taken over by Germans. At least not only.
On 24 October 1795 their representatives signed a treaty, dividing the remaining territories of the Commonwealth between their three countries.
-
But we were discussing Renaissance period. Not middle ages.
And no, I wouldn't buy new expensive weapons if those I already have can equal them or are even better.
I'd invest into economy, training and better weapons, not nicer or hype.
Few defeats would anybody teach a lesson.
Firearms were effective, if not, why would knights decline from domination? Knights could defeat pikemen easily.
Why would all armies throw away precious armour?
No, as I said, firearms were effective and didn't come up with stylish uniforms.
It was also evolution. You had to make your units easily recognizable to prevent confusion. Soldiers finally received proper training, learned how to use formations etc. and for this were new uniforms perfectly suited.
-
Well, true about that. But in Germany, I'm not sure about this but if you voted for someone else you were killed, or that there were no other people to vote for. I also know for a fact that Hitler stood against the treaty of Versailles, and nearly everyone in Germany (if not all) were against that.
No, you wouldn't be killed. Post-war (WWI) times in Germany were hard, but still democratic. There were many riots, which had to be suppressed, but NSDAP was elected properly. They most certainly did some nasty things, but as was their armed attempt to overtake power in 1933 (IIRC) suppressed, they came to power through legal election.
-
Facism is outlawed by the UN, and Communism died after the Soviet Union dissintigrated.
Communism didn't die. It was never born (except those kibices and so). Ideas of communism aren't bad, but simply cannot work.
The treaty of Versailles was a joke, it was one of the causes for WW2. Many people in Allied Nations thought that Germany should have been assimilated with some other country, the areas of germany that remained in Allied hands got treated like cow-@#$% (look for Saarbrucken), and the Germans felt angry and humiliated... Breeding ground for Hitler and War
Absolute truth.
Germans suffered badly. No wonder they seeked revenge. IIRC, capitulation of France was signed in same train where was signed capitulation of Germany in WWI.

The Ideas going into Communism are brilliant, Karl Marx deserves to be a well-known and respected political scientist (for want of a better word), however something seems to have been lost in translation from German to Russian, Chinese and Spanish. The Workers paradise envisioned by Karl Marx became the Workers Hell under Stalin.
In saying that some of the things Hitler/The Nazi regime did are truly awe inspiring, if incredibly scary (they got elected, legally!).
Nope. Marx was fool and slob, whose theories were corrupt. He didn't work at all.
Engels had to support him with money and later he depleted money of his wife.
He doesn't deserve respect as he said nothing else what any worker wouldn't dream about.
Communism cannot work in larger scale and never did (Israeli kibuces are working, but I don't consider them as larger scale).
It wasn't wrong translation, which got lost. It was fault of Marx's thinking.
If you want universally fair society, you face some problems.
1) You have to protect it.
Protector has ultimate rights. And power corrupts.
Stalin was wrong person on wrong place in wrong time.
He attracted people by false promises, but he was cruel person. Lenin himself didn't want him as his successor.
2) It attracts sloth, because everything is distributed according needs, not deservedness
Simply, you aren't motivated, because you'll get everything without much work.
3) It demotivates intelligent and diligent people from working hard.
This is quite the same as previous, but I wanted to have it separated.
Perfect example: Otto Wichterle.
This man invented how to prepare elastic contact lenses. This invention would make him terribly wealthy.
It is estimated that company, his patent was sold to, earned ~100mil. of dollars. Wichterle got ~ 2000 dollars. Isn't it ridiculous?
Tell me, wouldn't you give up any hard work? I would.
-
like fascism?
Exactly.
-
Communism deserves nothing else than being ridiculed and doomed.
Believe me. I know, that capitalism and free trade aren't perfect, but there are just few things that are worse than communism.
-
There must be some (although adjustable) limit.
More units on screen means higher system load.

Situation in Georgia cannot be compared with Kosovo.
While South Ossetians is ethnic living in these lands for ages, Albanians from Kosovo aren't.
Yugoslavians liberated most of their country from Nazies by themselves (with foreign support, of course).
After was, Tito said, that he will not let his country to be cow to be milked by Russians. Unlike rest of countries which fell to communism.
In Albania was heavy dictatorship, which left Albania in ruins. This dictatorship caused many refugees. Yugoslavians allowed them to settle in Yugoslavia (mostly in Kosovo).
Also, Albanians in Kosovo behaved often like beasts.
It was recorded, that they eviscerated pregnant woman from Serbian village and sewed tomcat up into her.
This caused villagers to flee in fear and they captured it without losses.
Conflict in Kosovo simply didn't have good and evil side.
Both were ugly, but I consider Serbians to be closer to truth.
PS: I'm using terms "Serbians" and "Yugoslavians". This is intentional as I believe, that in former Yugoslavia also Macedonians, Croats and others fought against Nazies.

Uh... The Turks didn't arrive in the Middle East or Europe until the 11th century, and their arrival was one of the reasons for the initiation of the Crusades.
Actually, I read, that Emperror Heraclius invaded Persian empire in cooperation with Turks.
But that is perhaps off the scope of 0AD part II.

What would be purpose of citisen soldiers then?
If some units will not see fighting, thay will be same as villagers in AoK except offering more resistance to rusher.
First Look at Windows 7

I back that. Microsoft is famous for letting people pay for same thing again and again.
They dare to say that they make their new OS from scratch (they told so at least about Vista), but any security vulnerability hitting Win NT hits following versions of Windows as well.
Tell me people, why are you using their junk when you hate it that much?
Study material to have yet another reason why to hate MS:
