Centurion_13 Posted November 24, 2004 Report Share Posted November 24, 2004 Yeah I heard about that too. lol I wonder what they would have done.@argalius, Yeah I knew about him, and there was also dirk Hartog (or something like that) who was also dutch and landed in shark-bay (also on the west coast). I havent heard any dutch but it might be an interesting language to have spoken and maybe if they did claim it, our natural resources and native people wouldnt have been exploited as much. Them english people cut down approx 50% what was forrested land when they arrived. now australia is only 9% forested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the beginning they just traded with Indonesia, but later they conquered it and exploited the people there. I think every country did that which had colonies though, not only England and Holland. But this is something totally off-topic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titus Ultor Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 He's commonly called "William of Orange". He was rather instrumental in protecting the Protestant North of Holland from the Spanish, Catholic South. He later became the king of England, by marrying some English princess broad.

Centurion_13 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Nice simpl;e explanation. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus Ultor Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 No problem. European History is probably my favorite subject of all time. The Dutch had about a hundred and fifty (1600s - mid 1700s) years in the spotlight before becoming completely obscure, again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argalius Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 He later became the king of England, by marrying some English princess broad.Hoho, stop right there. Willem van Oranje (William of Orange, William the Silent, Willem de Zwijger) was shot by Gerards in 1584!A Dutch man, also called William became king of England, but that's another one.Here you can find some info:Willem van OranjeWilliam III of England(I know, I'm proud of my history ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted December 5, 2004 Report Share Posted December 5, 2004 Ahh well that would make more sense, I was a little puzzled about the othr guy being a king. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He couldn't have been king of England then But I think he laid the foundation for Dutch independece from Spanish occupation, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus Ultor Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Hn. I guess my textbook never differentiated between the two Williams. I guess they figured "They're both Dutch! Who cares?" I can't really argue against that.No offense to the Dutch. You guys were almost important for a while. Props to yo' mother.This is my 100th post! Hoo-rah!

Belisarivs Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 I found this, http://aok.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/aokcgi/...33863,0,10&st=0 it could further improve your mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Centurion_13 Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Well we will not be updating the mod in anyway, at least in the imediate future. Also seeing as the creator of it is on our team already, we are already aware of this tools existance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Work on the mod was concluded maybe 4 years ago when we decided to make a "proper" version of Rome at War - called 0 A.D. Being able to edit AoK's unit stats won't be of much help to us now And on a further note, the very person who made that tool is also on the 0 A.D. team working on the game. We're pretty much set. Thanks for the interest though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caesar Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I really liked the RaW mod. It had much better graphics then ARLTR.I was planning on usin RaW in my AoK TC mod, Clash of Empires, but since I resigned as leader of CoE I think it isnt going to be finished.
