The Classic Maya

[Plotinus]

I'm in Singapore. I don't know if they do have restrictions here, but it wouldn't surprise me!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Singapore! What are you doing down there?

They are a strict country with very strict punishment laws(think corporeal punishment), which I respect, but I wasn't aware they had restrictions on IP addresses.

 

[Plotinus]

They might not, I'm just guessing - it could equally be the Internet provider. But I'm not going to Google to find out! All media here is screened by the government, so you never know.

Yes, they do have some odd laws and rather strict punishments here, although no odder than in your country, and here they actually work, so it doesn't really impinge on daily life. I'm doing a PhD here, as you know, so it makes no different to me unless I decide to vandalise something!

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

I respect Singapore's justice system. To many lawyers here for anything resembling that to take effect...

About 10 years ago William Gibson wrote an article for Wired called "Disneyland with the Death Penalty".

 

[Plotinus]

I read it - pretty silly article, really, in my opinion. People have this idea that Singapore is some kind of cutesy totalitarian regime, a sort of real-life Village (the Patrick McGoohan one, not the M Night one!). But in reality, of course, it's nothing like that - it's pleasant, and the reason for that is that most of the laws are pretty sensible. Well, most of them. But I suspect this to be a threadjack of sorts.

 

[The Last Conformist]

You suspect correctly, but you're right something's odd with the second download - I had to resort to some trickery to reach the file.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Do you like the music TLC?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Well, it's not really my sort of thing, but it fits well enough to the scen.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Doesn't it make you enjoy the game more having good atmospheric music?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Not really, but I'm including it in the next release for the benefit of those who do.

 

[Evil Tyrant]

Just downloaded the mod last night. I like it alot!

 

[The Last Conformist]

Glad you like it.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Just let me know if you need anything for this in the future. Mesoamerica(and Incan) is my favorite culture in the world.

 

[The Last Conformist]

Do you do building graphics?

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Only cut and paste, but I could try, what do you have in mind?

 

[The Last Conformist]

Well, here's the request list from a couple pages ago:

Okay, here's a list ...

Small Wonder: Yajaw Maan
This is an effigy of the god K'awiil, mounted on some sort of pole so-that it can be carried along on campaigns. Pedica icons, city icon, and wondersplash needed.

Improvements - need pedia pics and city icons:
Altar (city icon done, but stand replacement or improvement)
Fortifications (pallisade and moat, I suppose)
Granary (low storage buildings - no silos!)
Harbour (a primitive harbour - gotta get rid of those cranes!)
Palisade (palisade without moat. City icon not necessary)
Putun Emporium (sea-side warehouses)
Zoomorph (a big slab of stone crudely shaped into an animal or animal head, covered with inscriptions and carvings)

Trai's since done the granary, and is working on the zoomorph. I'll probably use Plot's palisade for the Palisade, and modify it for the Fortifications.

 

[Sword_Of_Geddon]

Have you seen Redalert's culture specific terrain buildings? He has a mesoamerican fortress and some other buildings you might find useful

 

[The Last Conformist]

Are those the ones Trai is using in Aztec!? If so, I prefer my own.

 

[Traianus]

Now you've really hurt my feelings!!
On a serious note however, I don't think I've seen those either. Anything good? - silly question, knowing Red!
