Rhye, did you ever get an animation for the Shifta? Because I'm trying to get into unit making, and may be able to make it, just not to a great standard
Sure, it was strange to have spearmen as attackers but I got used to it. The religion thing is great IMO. Everything is great! Can't wait to get it with all graphics.Rhye said:Anything else? You tried the expansion for the first time and I'm sure civ balance isn't the only thing you have to say
But I hope you don't retire early if they only reject you because of location... After all, they may need the best scenario creator in North America, and not in the world.Rhye said:If I don't get chosen by Firaxis and instead they choose somebody else less deserving that place, I will retire from civ modding shorty (earlier than I had planned).
I'm also a native (American) English speaker, and it's not always so. You see, we can't choose the use of the wonder's name in the sentance. It just says "The Roman city of Venice has completed <wondername>" (This sentance can be changed but still the name goes in as one chunk while the rest is static.) So you gotta choose the configuration that stands alone correctly and works right in that sentance. For Temple Mount it's just Temple Mount, no "The". "The Hebrew city of Jerusalem has completed Temple Mount", not "...completed the Temple Mount." I'm sure there are other wonders like this though I can't think which at the moment. (Perhaps generally the ones with a unique name, like Asa Temple, don't need the "the" since they are a name. It's like you don't say "I went to the Sam's house" in a way. =P)dafiden said:As a native English speaker, I think "The" should come before anything that is unique. If there is more than one (which I don't think will ever be the case of great wonders) then you don't use "the," but the article "a" or "an," depending on how the subject "sounds." For instance, we say "The New York Stock Exchange" because there is only one. But, since there are other stock exchanges, one would probably say "Rome built a stock exchange," not "Rome built the stock exchange." However, if you were referring to a unique stock exchange in Italy, say, then you may say "Rome built The Venetian (?) Stock Exchange."
Thus I think all of the great wonders (as long as there is only one of them) should probably have a "The" in as the article. If you post the entire list, I'd be happy to comment.
Here is a good example. Your list contains three temples.
Temple of the Sun
Temple of Kukulcan
Temple of Baal
Now, when a civ builds a temple, it is certainly appropriate to say "France built a temple." But, if France builds a specific temple, it is appropriate to say "France built The Temple of the Sun," since I assume there is only 1 Temple of the Sun. Hope that helps.

Rhye, is the leaning tower in there because you are Italian, or is there another reason? (PS: I am 1/2 Italian... but 3/2 American ;p)
... and why does it give a defensive bonus? I mean, its tipping over... not exactly a stable platform for battle haha
