@Sureshot

I sense a strong desire for horseness.

I agree though, they should be sprinkled throughout all the civs......unless any of them happen to be unisex or non-specific. (i.e. golems)

I'm not sure the dwarves need different models.....i mean after all, how would you tell?

-Qes

there have been good female dwarven portraits made for Neverwinter on NWNVault so they could have a female dwarven leader, but ya, for units it seems silly, you can't tell when they're that small.

Terry Prachett is another beloved author, with C.S. Lewis, Tolkien, (Wheel of Time author who's name I forget) George R.R. Martin.

Personally George is my favorite of the moment. Dark, gritty, and slowly makes you feel empty inside. Nothing quite gives ya gloom like watching your favorite characters die........a lot.

i know how to use a blender... but blender (*note the typed style of the font) is a program for making 3d graphics.lol

Ps. i dont own a blinder so i rarely use one.

I must admit, a Wheel of Time level of female-presense might work with this fantasy mod. The leaders certainly already exhibit this sort of thing. The only obstacle standing in its way is the massive number of male models lol, and the fact that there is only one female model built into vanilla Civ. That, and the complete lack of necessity, but that hasn't stopped the team before!

P.S. The Wheel of Time dude is Robert Jordan, if memory serves correctly.

 

[Sureshot]

Robert Jordan is the Wheel of Time writer

ah ya beat me to it

Oh thank God. I thought this was a sequel to the "romancing" thread.

 

[Sureshot]

lol give it time, i think QES indirectly started this to achieve that end

 

[QES]

Hey, those were good ideas.
Romance plays a major part of many fantasy genre storylines. Often they can be pivitol to why things happen the way they do. Why should this game neglect those diplomatic functions? IF there is a means to implement them?
If not, then its Moot, but still.

Besides, youll know its me starting a thread cause it'll say "On" something. Unless its a poll, then its just the question.

EDIT: And I didnt start this thread. Where do i get this bad rap from?
EDIT2: And after I voted for Nikis too, HMPH!

 

[Sureshot]

indirectly, and im using you as a scapegoat, because you're unpopular, and im using defemation you manly man

 

[Chandrasekhar]

He's probably just ticked that you keep calling him "Nikis."

Oh, I don't have a problem with romance, Knight's need ladies, hence my name. I just think some things, like this thread's namesake, should be left "off-screen."

 

[QES]

Well i was thinking of romance as strictly a diplomatic function that accounts for the various "interpersonal variables" that make up a goodly portion of politics, and geopolitical manuvering, that deal seldom with rational progressive gains, tangible benefits, and messurable results, and more with the irrational state of human pride, loyalty and determinations that can stem from a multitude of faceted emotional states. "romance" was just going to clump all of those into a singular idea, fitting the theme of the mod.
But i watched that ship burn off shore long ago.

i dunno, theres a bit of bonding ingame, culminating in a permanent alliance. so the game has the beginnings of it, and in general the AI diplomacy needs to recognize more positive and negative effects. like i dont think gifting units gains you any diplomatic favour.

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Isn't unit gifting the same as resource trading for the diplomacy factors?

 

[Sureshot]

not sure, ive never noticed any benefits to gifting units, though i dont make a habit of it except in team games where i dont talk to them much except to trade resources (and team factors are weird)

 

[Civkid1991]

its alway fun to gift the underdog in a war enorder to alter the outcome of war... its funny nobody gets mad at you when you do this

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Team games in FfH are sure weird. I once saw Cardith teamed up with Auric, and that's not even the worst. When good and evil are on a team, it's pretty much impossible to trade, unless you and your team are all neutral.

 

[Civkid1991]

gosh i go to get somehting to eat and when i come back you all have watered down the conversations and started talking about ontopic stuff (ffh is the topic of the forum)

 

[Chandrasekhar]

Well fine, let's start talking about the romantic webs in Harry Potter, or Halo, or whatever.
