  1. Poll: Re: The old Rome/M2TW engine vs the warscape engine

    Sorry for the necropost, but as someone new to TW modding, never having modified on the previous gen, I'd like to hear from a programmer's perspective what makes Warscape better or worse than TW2....

    Re: Hardcoded In the Source

    Wonderful!

    Could you elaborate what you mean by "removed" warcry from the db? Better than removing abilities from the db, leave them there, but untick any assigned abilities you don't like in the...
  3. Re: Too many siege battles is an AI problem, not a campaign map problem

    I'm in the minority, at least of opinions back then.

    CA will not innovate siege warfare, until they've taken action points out of the abstract, formed a rudimentary logistics mechanic, and the cai...

    About the Han prefectures, when historians call them "colonies," its not to assert the commanderies' rule patterned Western colonialization. That would be reading the present into the past.

  19. Re: Trump recently said "Korea actually used to be a part of China" ...let's examine that assertion!

    I don't care what Trump says per se, but its what Xi believes that has the South Koreans alarmed. The concern is President Xi has ambitions. "Unity" code for hegemony, as far as Seoul is concerned.
