Theme Switching #4

[Gen. Volkov]

Hey yeah.. I was gonna propose them, but you guys just ignored my first proposal...

And they didn't wipe out the Etruscans... the Etruscans were wiped out/assimilated by the Romans.

[neobaron]

I thought I did have them.

[Gen. Volkov]

*Checks* Yeah, you did. Good on ya.

[Devari]

Volk, that's what Beatles said.

[Gen. Volkov]

Who what huh? What are you refering too Devari?

[Devari]

And they didn't wipe out the Etruscans... the Etruscans were wiped out/assimilated by the Romans.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[Gen. Volkov]

He said the Romans wiped out the Etruscans? I thought he was saying the Celts did...

[The Beatles]

No, I guess it was misunderstandable, but I meant it in a right-associative way.

To put it in LISP terms:
(Even when they sacked (Rome, (it was a very significant power, (having practically wiped out the (Etruscans))))).

[The Beatles]

Our last proposal was:

code: Select all

Tribe             Military            Spies             Economy
Egyptian          Good                Very Good         Fair
Phoenician        Very Poor           Excellent         Excellent
Etruscan          Good                Good              Very Good
Greek             Excellent           Good              Poor
Gallic            Good                Poor              Excellent
Assyrian          Very Good           Good              Fair
Germanic          Very Good           Poor              Good
Persian           Fair                Very Good         Excellent
Macedon           Excellent           Poor              Excellent

Proposed to throw out:

code: Select all

Celts             Very Good           Good              Poor

Only problem: this is a bit imbalanced. So I propose to get right down to details: I've grouped the race abilities thus:
Military = {Offense, Defense, Industry}
Spies = {Hawks, Runes}
Economy = {Income, Orchards, Build, Expense, Food}
Misc = {Scouting, Bazaar}

and condensed them into a spreadsheet, which you can edit here:

Please make changes as you see fit! Let us know on the forum so we can discuss it. Hit Formulas -> Recalc Spreadsheets to update the totals.

[Gen. Volkov]

I propose adding two races and changing the names of the Egyptians. I'd like an official yae or nay before I go ahead and add them to the list. One of the two could replace Celts, unless you were dropping them to cut down the number of races.

code: Select all

                           Military           Spies          Economy
New Kingdom Egyptians       Good             Poor            Fair 

Hebrews/Jews                Poor             Excellent       Good

Neo-Babylonians             Fair             Fair            Good

I couldn't get on to the spreadsheet anyways. Something about it not being confirmed.

[Ruddertail]

Jews refers more to the religion, like Christians or Muslims. Either Hebrews or Isrealies would be the correct name, I think.

Neo-Babylonians? Neo gets his own race?

[The Beatles]

The fafpublic account does work now.

[Devari]

Noo.... My precious Celts!


:*laughs*:

[The Beatles]

They're my precious Britons too!

All our history are belong to Neo, though.

[Gen. Volkov]

*laughs*. "Neo" means "new" so a Neo-Babylonian would be a New Babylonian. It's a way to distinguish the first Babylonian empire from the second, these are the guys who did most of the cool stuff that people here about Babylon.

Jews can be either those of that religion, or the race that people belong too. It's like Poles or Russians or English. But if you wish you can call them Hebrews, since that would be the correct name for them at the time. Israel is a country, but the Jews/Hebrews had 3 separate countries at that time. The Kingdom of Israel, Judah, and Moab.

Sorry for your loss Devari.
