being of darkness Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 well i have been watching your progress with the game for a long time and i want to say that you are doing a great job, but as far as i have noticed there are some things that you could fix for example on the map hyrcanian shores set for two players i found 1 fish in the sea and all the others were on the grass the rocks and etc, also you should make the coast line with gulfs, capes and not just a straight line, also the texture when it changes from grass to sand sometimes has square edges, another one is that when i build for example a temple on a leaning land it ends up with the one end buried and the other floating. furthermore the pigs need walking animation because they are hovering above the land and another thing concerning the greek factions, the civ center is called agora and it's wrong because agora means market and where people gather, according to ancient greek history agora served as a marketplace where merchants kept stalls or shops to sell their goods and it also was the center of athletic, artistic, spiritual and political life of the city, later during the roman years agora was called forum, also the name of the market emporion is also wrong because emporion means trading in english, and to pre-empt questions about how do i know what it means and etc i know because i am from greece, sorry for the long post and if i did any mistakes in english, i hope to finish the game and make it the best strategy ever :victory: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Hmm, "Agora" is the center of a Greek city, as you noted, so it makes sense to name the Civic Centre structure "Agora" for the Greeks. I'm also very sure that Emporeion means "Marketplace" or "Trading place" in Ancient Greek. Others on this forum can confirm or argue. Perhaps you can comment on this thread: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14581 We're still arguing about the proper terms for things over there. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeru Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Ditto pig animations, we keep adding more and more animations over time, but still not everything is animated, and it can be difficult to find contributors in 3D animation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 Your linked page has "lithobolos" listed as a stone thrower too, and Archimedes seems to have called his stone throwers "Lithoboloi." It looks like "palintonon" refers to the type of spring system used ("V-spring"). Also, as far as classical Greek fortresses go, the Athenians had one at Delium and one at Gyphtokastro (off the top of my head). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
