Ottomans like to build artillery? Interesting. I hope they use them!

You get victory points every time you capture a princess from an opponent. Basically like Capture the Flag in a FPS game.

Ehi WarpStorm, did Firaxis "borrowed" your watercolour terrain?

(Look at this snapshot)

Just a casual match of independent concept, or someone at Firaxis must give to you a "thanks footnote"?

I saw that screenshot too and it kinda surprised me.

Hopefully they asked Warpstorm ....

Well, you can fight in Matrix-like kung-fu as Princess Fiona do in "Shrek" the cartoon movie...

Princess stats A/D/M: 10/100/0.01

Almost unmovable: consider all the time she must spend in make-up before she's ready to go...

(BTW, I'm not speaking about you Ribannah, just kidding about the "capture the princess").

Ok, Brennus is definitely the scariest leader of all... And what about Isabella and her... "inflated" breasts?

I think I'll love all the stacking options. Seems like things will become much, much easier to manage.

Wow! You must be very proud right now! You contributed to PTW!

Btw, I use Snoopy's graphic. Which is better?

That's cool

Are you still going to release your mod? I know you've put alot of time and effort into it - but if we're all going to get the 'offcial' version included with PtW then maybe you can't be bothered to finish it, which would be a shame as it really does look awesome.

Come to think of it - I think I remember reading something about sn00py's graphics mod being in PtW too ...

So many choices...

Well, I would like to give a try to WarpStorm's set, also if it's unfinished. Not to mention that WarpStorm's set is available NOW for vanilla Civ III, while the PTW set will be available with PTW release, at the PTW price (may be free to download and use it backward with Civ III, may be not).

Not to mention that an early release by WarpStorm could make clear he is not the man who copycat the idea

With last snOOpy's set is a bit difficult, for me, to have a quick glance on terrain state (is that a plain irrigated, floodplain irrigated, anything else?).

I stay with previous snOOpy's set or with original out-of-the-box, at least until I can download WarpStorm's one.

I think it's nice with a little more colorful leader. (Get the joke? COLORful. Hahaha.) All the other leadersheads are so boring.

It's something to differentiate him better from all the other ancient leaders, with their fur cloaks and whatnot. I think it looks fine.
