Rise of the Homos(Development Thread)

[johny smith]

NotSoGood is working on a modcomp for me right now, in it I am adding a roaming Horse, Deer, and Elephant animal unit to the early game. If you kill one of them and have the animal husbandry civic a resource for that animal (i.e. Horse, Ivory, Deer) will show up on the tile. They can't attack you and have the ability to withdraw/escape from being attacked, and they have two moves so you'd have to use a little bit of tactics with a warrior to kill one (to simulate hunting). But I figured this could be modified to work for your mod too.

Ya it could be useful. Just let me know if it gets finished. Will you get yields from the kill as well?

Mabye you should make a spreadsheet of stuff in Rise of Homos and post it so that people know what is done and what is still being planned.

gaghahahahahahahah

 

[Arakhor]

Was there a point to that post, Node?

 

[The Capo]

I think node was responding to the title of the thread.

Anyway, JS that modcomp is finished, it works pretty well too so I'd suggest incorporating that into this somehow.

hahahahahgahgahahahaghaha

@ Voyhkah

I think it so little done not much of a point yet.

@The Capo

Where is the component? Is within something bigger? If you don't mind give me an attachment or link for it.

@Node

Thanks for the interest.

@Everyone

I am busy playing Dragon Age at the moment so really have not much more on this. I am not abandoning this. I want to still concentrate on a basic layout for techs first then I will post something to show progress on the mod.

If someone wants to help on techs I am open to any ideas. Full blown Agriculture should begin in the middle to late Neolithic. Domestication of animals somewhere in the beginning of the Neolithic perhaps late Magdalenian.

I am thinking about civics as well. I need some civics I think for the structure of the society that has really ridiculous effects. Like Hunter/Gather, Pastoral or Agriculture society. I thought as well some civics representing Kinship. Anyway just brainstorming still.

It's in the DB, it should still be in the most recent additions.

To be picky, the plural of Latin homo would be homines. Although, since it is "of the", it would use the genitive case, being hominum.
A full Latin title would be more pleasing, although understandably would lose the original humor.

 

[Arakhor]

I already suggested Genus Hominis or "Birth of Mankind", I even provided the optional word crescere for "rise".

Oh.
Well, then if mankind is to be the translation, would Genus Humanitatis not be more specific?

Perhaps progressus could also be used.

 

[Arakhor]

I'm not a Latin scholar; I was using a dictionary and some verb tables to help me

 

[The Capo]

I thought Serrectum was the word for "rise" in this sense.

 

[The_J]

Serrectum

If someone would speak that out, and i would consider him being bad in english, i would hear "the rectum"...

 

[Shiggs713]

Rise of the Rectum there you go

sorry, little humor... I do really look forward to this mod though, it would be very interesting.

 

[The Boss]

Any news?
Please, please, please, don't stop develpment of the mod!!!!

 

[Voyhkah]

Agreed

 

[cfkane]

I also agree. This is too cool of a concept to let die.

 

[johny smith]

The concept is not dead. The time is not available though for me to mod though. SDK really is the biggest hurdle still. I will post something if I do more.

 

[Fubb]

Good luck with this :3 sounds like an AMAZING idea for a mod!
