What's the deal with everyone complaining about getting too many tanks? Aren't they better than nothing at all? Plus, generally, the people complaining don't even make units themselves. Gee! Sorry, TVA22, I don't mean to single you out, and I realize that you have made units.

I don't think people complain about getting too many tanks, but complain about getting too few other units. I personnally would like to see the equivalent of PTW japanese unit packs for other countries, or to see historical pack, like a whole new bunch of Napoleonic units.

As you say, I don't even make units myself. That's why I request other to do this : if I could do this, I would

Ahem, I am chinese by the way.

Too bad its the busy season for me at the moment and I would be glad as long as I have time to rest much less doing a new unit.

DS,

There you are. When does the busy season end? Didn't know you were Chinese. I am only half Chinese, but its the better looking half if you ask me.

wow!! I actually got all that!! (been learning chinese on my own for, a few years now)
its ok utahjazz. I did realize I came across kind of brusk, but then I generally do. I just said what I think, and I stand by it, its just that I can't imagine a use for all the tanks we have, but some, at least cultural variation in units would be really nice to have, and could be more useful. However, thats only me saying that, the majority of people seem to be most interested in tanks and the likes, I'm just least interested in them. I'm sorry if I offended anyone, I do appreciate all the hard work people are doing to make units, because I know what a pain it can be, I just wish people would take up other projects sometimes, how many tanks do we really need? My fav. creator right now is akula, because he's making ships, and few people ever want to do ships. And even moreso, he's making ones I never expected to see, a Japanese carrier, a typhoon missle sub, etc! But anyway, its just me griping about what sort of thing I prefer, please don't let me deter you creators from your own interests, all the units are most appreciated.

Well, I ain't Chinese myself (though some of my family is ) but it seems Kal-el and Dark sheer did not get the pinyin.

TVA maybe we non Chinese (or so it seems from your message) could keep on using it while people of actual Chinese descent keep on using English

Anyway I do hope this Chinese spearman comes out...

 

[Kal-el]

yeah, I don't speak the language.

 

[TVA22]

Luolong, hahaha sure, that'd be great, I need the practice, though I'm pretty sure you are way better than me, so you may have to correct my grammar, I get things out of order lots.

 

[Lorenzarius]

I am a Chinese too and I speak both Chinese and English

Zhen de hao !

TVA
Ni zenmeyang shi xue hanyu de ?
My sentence in the Taiwan map thread was "Are you Japanese" in... Japanese so translation of both words and country.

BUMP for the thread. I want that unit.
Wo yao, wo yao, wo yao.


BTW when can we have Chinese characters for smilies or avatars ?

 

[TVA22]

Loulong

Ni wen wo "zenme ni xue hanyu" shi bu shi? Duibuqi, wo hutu.

I've never seen shi used like that before...

Maybe we should have out own thread.

"shi....de" is a way of putting the emphasis on something. It basically means
"How is it you learn Chinese ?"
rather than simply "how do you learn Chinese".
Pinyin is not so easy so I guess you mean confused by "hutu", right ?
Chinese origins or relatives, tourism, work there, interest in languages, eastern culture ?

 

[TVA22]

yes, I was confused, thanks for the clarification on shi...de, just in love with east asia, particularly china. I've been over there to the mainland a few times, I have some chinese friends, and I've taken one class a while back, with more coming up this summer, and semester. Other than that just on my own, every day. Its hard, but rewarding when I can understand what someone says. My only other language is spanish!

Sorry to keep on this thread but since u don't accept PM...
You use "mainland", just wondered where you are from ?

 

[TVA22]

I mean, mainland china, versus taiwan. I'm an american. And how do I make it so I can accept pm?

 

[Akula]

Enabeling pm's can be done under User CP => edit options

 

[TVA22]

Thanks, just did it, I never knew that feature was there.

 

[Lorenzarius]

I am sure there're more unit creaters who have the ability to take this challenge. Please, more flavor units!

BTW, the Chin spearman is awesome.
