Or helped by the Russian troops? I'm stalked by the eternal light so I blind my chambers now to create a a new mod in which we can combine our thoughts. I might need your guidance on my journey.

Just by putting grease, oil, sulfur, and saltpeter from the desert together. Mass destruction is sometimes nothing more than putting 1 + 1 together, apparently. Sometimes with earthly substances, sometimes with unearthly substances. Therefore a big cheer for the user created mod units with a spaceship and a hero that changes ownership when units move near it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-22838133613733279692007-06-18T08:17:00.000-07:002007-06-18T08:17:00.000-07:00Scary.

Games like AoE/RTW should have A. more strategic and diplomatic items such as spies and allies and B. weapons like rings, or clothes with poison to kill possible spies and C. special items such as secret scrolls and scripts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-72603202108702917832007-06-18T08:16:00.000-07:002007-06-18T08:16:00.000-07:00Those items are indeed missing to stress the reali...Those items are indeed missing to stress the reality factor.

What I miss in both AoE and RTW? Historical facts like “biological” weapons as used by the ancient cultures. Defending your city from an attack with clay-pot bombs filled with scorpions, venomous snakes and other creepy insects gathered from the surrounding desert. Or using toxic smoke against the infidels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14856978.post-4904038399317870822007-06-03T10:55:00.000-07:002007-06-03T10:55:00.000-07:00I'm still not seeing the commonality between AoE a...I'm still not seeing the commonality between AoE and Struggles, Kris, but I'll have to wait until I finally play Drover's game to really be able to comment.
