Pawel, you meant "heavy/light cavalry" "Jazda" has a few different meanings, it can mean cavalry, drive/driving (with a car, a horse, a bicycle...), or even "ride forward!", as used by these units in one of the Polish sounds. I'd rather translate it as "Ciężka/lekka kawaleria".

On the other hand... if we translate it to Rycerz (direct translation of "knight"), what about the scout? "Skaut", "Harcerz", "Zwiadowca"? xD Or just leave "Lekka jazda"?

@Ben: Maybe you could overlay the replay timer area with a nice logo or something

I thought of that, but I'd rather not. For now, it is the best solution. Thanks

Ben, not sure if your shoutcasting software supports it, but how about just covering the replay timer with your own face view from a webcam? xD

Nobody wants to see my face

Here's my idea. Krom's doing a great job on making AI that will almost think like a man, given enough time spent on development. But I assume the amount of work needed it so huge that it'll take +/- 5 years. How about making some sort of dumb AI, which would be able to just pop a few towers on the defence lines, and would cheat all the way to the victory? I think that new players would prefer being beaten by AI before being beaten even more by actual people.

you mean untill the real ai is done right?

[sado1]

Oh, sorry. Yes, obviously. Just something for the time being; I know the ultimate AI will be far superior.

Perhaps we could have an option to add an authors name directly to the map file, so that we could sort maps by authors?

Perhaps we could have an option to add an authors name directly to the map file, so that we could sort maps by authors?

Please, Why is it good?
Do you think is it a good idea or necesarry?

[dicsoupcan]

Well with the increasing amount of maps in the remake it might be a good future investment.

[Krom]

I doubt we will add authors name field into the list because that would occupy a lot of valuable space (some authors niks are quite long), Besides there are coop creations with several authors listed (don't even imagine how to fit MegaMap authors field!)

It was proposed before, maybe we will add a sort of rating to the maps that player can set in his own game (a single star, or 0-3 stars)

[Remake 2012]

Please add this option in editor:

- flat whole map ( because I dont see bad tiles in eg. mountins..... ) :/ ( option ON/OFF)

[Krom]

We have that in plans, thank you

[Ben]

I still think the map author is a nice idea. The biggest use for me is when I am playing with randoms and I ask them to change a map, or sometimes they ask me, "what map?" (players playing around 4:00AM GMT are very much like this;)) I often tell them "any map by To or Thunder is good." However. that doesn't mean anything to them. It would be great with the author

Anyway, Krom, I disagree with the List of Authors being too long. We could just add "author" to the drop down sorting methods. Then, the maps would be listed in order by author, but the authors name would still only appear in the map description box. The author name that is put into the map editor is only used for the game to sort them.
It's not ideal, but it is better than having the name listed in the drop-down menu. If this idea could be improved further, then maybe it could be implemented?

[dargonslayer]

I don't know if this idea is already mentioned or it is good enough

But, What about an option to select an option for language for speech and one for text.
I'm dutch, but I play in several other languages like German, Polish, English and so on.
So maybe it is an idea to make an option for the Languages of the text in messages and an option for the languages in the speeches?
So you can play in your native language, but stil use other speeches.

I hope it is an good idea

[sado1]

It was rejected, because
a) it's not a very useful feature
b) you can swap the soundpacks yourself, just make a backup of Dutch sounds folder and rename German/Polish/... to Dutch.

[dargonslayer]

true, I didn't thought about that.
It is an easy way to do, so thanks
