New Unit: Metal Gear Ray

[Gen. Rommel]

First of all...super, crazy, excellent, awesome, fantastic, detailed, and superb unit (way too many adjectives there)! This is a really good looking unit and I'm even considering bringing it into the original game as a futuristic Nuclear launch vehicle, possibly an upgrade for the nuclear submarine (that can go on land and over sea tiles, if that's even possible).

If you were to make the other Metal Gears as well, this may have great potential to becoming a full-fledged scenario! Although, I'm merely glad you made Ray...anyways, Ray was the coolest Metal Gear of all and eats Rex and Arsenal for breakfast. The former was too slow and can't even go amphibious, where as the latter is a...big...lump...of...crap? Ray FTW!

 

[Orthanc]

Thanks! Funny, this was made like a year ago, meh. Yeah I made Ray first since it's my favorite Metal Gear design too, I'm not sure what they could do to top it, if they make a Metal Gear too human it'll just be a Gundam, and so all the uber designs in that arena have pretty much been maxed out already.

Maybe a more hawk/eagle/falcon-like Metal Gear,

its end of the april and promised arsenal is not done yet whats taking you so long Im sooooo looking forward to arsenal

 

[Orthanc]

I was in College up till April 20, and had no time at all for making units. But Metal Gear Rex is coming up very very soon, that should sate your appetite until I get to Arsenal, which is unfortunately quite far down the list still...

Once finished the Solaris (which will be sometime today), this is what I have to do, in this order:
-Averof Cruiser
-Metal Gear Rex
-Ship of the Line
-Carrack
-Asian Dragon
-Hajduk
-Meso-Amercian 'Trident'
-Meso-Amercian 'Curragh'
-The Flying Dutchman
-Arsenal Gear

Sorry, it's really quite far down right now, but it's summer, so I do have the time to work on it at least.

 

[Keroro]

Is that meant to be Asian Dragon, or Asian Dragoon. I'll look forward to it in either case.

Considering the quality of your previous ships the Carrack and Ship of the Line will be most welcome.

 

[Orthanc]

Yeah I'm hoping to (eventually) swap out most of the original Civ3 ships with my own.

And it's the flying fire lizard sort, not the guy on horse sort.

 

[Stormrage]

You could do a "flying horse on a lizard and they are both on fire" sort, but that one might get censored

Rex is coming! Yay!

 

[Keroro]

Now that would be cool.

............






Brilliant! Who would dare to censor that?

 

[Stormrage]

Puritans, animal rights activists, the NASA and Johnny Cash`s lawyers..

 

[Orthanc]

So would the horse be flying and somehow holding onto the on-fire lizard (which would be difficult due to the lacking opposable thumbs), or just be an on-fire horse with wings riding an on-fire lizard into battle?

Would the lizard require a saddle?

Could a horse even USE a saddle?

Would the saddle have to be fireproof, or is it the source of the fire?

These are questions that will plague mankind.

Thanks for posting your to-do list Orthanc...I had forgotten about the Meso-ships...I am eagerly awaiting them again, as well as the Ship of the Line and Carrack

 

[Gen. Rommel]

Dr. Naomi Hunter: Are you smoking?
Solid Snake: Yeah, so what?
Dr. Naomi Hunter: Didn't you know that cigarettes contain benzopyrene, a chemical that leads to lung cancer? We now know that when benzopyrene enters the body, it changes to benzopyrene diolepoxide and attaches to the receptors on the P53 gene, the gene which causes lung cancer. The BPDE attaches to the P53 gene in three specific locations and causes pre-cancerous changes to the lung tissue.
Solid Snake: You know a lot about science, but you don't know how good a cigarette tastes in the morning.

I couldn't resist!

Maybe that'll give some initiative to make Rex for us...I'm definitely considering making a MGS scenario...with your units, I could!

 

[HunterAnubis]

I think everyone would parichiate if you would do rex and arsenal first right ppl?

 

[Spacer One]

not everyone

 

[HunterAnubis]

ok maybe not you but I cetainly would.
By the way anyone up for a email game? or maybe over icq 194 475 887 im bored and I got some units there to (what I colected)

I think some people missed the point.
The horse on a lizard, and they are both "on fire". I mentioned censoring. Do the math.

No, I definitely got it...it refers to "on fire" as a term for someone who is flamingly gay, and therefore homersexual.

But when I do the math, I can't seem to get a straight number...damn multiplication.

 

[Orthanc]

Got it afterwards, maybe I need to move that from the sig to avoid said-censoring,
