ah ok. well im from holland so i couldnt know. even in HoMM they use it.

[gundamwen]

Mr. Creator, i sent you the files, did you receive them???

[FAFNIROS]

Yes, Fafniros is right. Djinn is transliteration from arabic, but not translation. Do not confuse these things, Su8perkillr. Transliteration says how it sounds. Translation says what it means.

This situation is the same as with Dwarf and Gnome, with Plenka and Pleiade, Batu and Batiy and many others. The same names sound different in different languages. But many people don't care about translation. They transliterate these words and represent it as something new.

su8perkillr was right
genie is jinn جِنٌّ (demon)

[Su8perkillr]

lol... nevermind people. its one of both xD it all is the same. but because languages get reformed quckly, those things happen (like jeans or pants)

[xenomorph]

frisians are dutch, not american. american would use things from the sioux, cherocees, incas, stuff liek that. im from holland to, but i do not want to see this mod going dutch

Yeah! Uitzilopochtli, Huehuecoyotl and Tezcatlipoca. Aztecs rock! Names themselves are enough to explode someone's brain.

[Thats me!]

great changes this time,except:

All: Supply docks have 10 times more resources now.

i really hate that one( all the eco changes are very bad),will make turtling more viable

[Su8perkillr]

hm i like em all, also the supply increase, but there is one:

- Flame general: Fuel Tube spills fuel automatically now.

that isnt good. because some times, you want to hold it to place it under an attacking force, then spill and ignite with a mig.

[Creator]

that isnt good. because some times, you want to hold it to place it under an attacking force, then spill and ignite with a mig.

Do not worry. Hold fire button is there too.

[Su8perkillr]

hm... still, i think the meganism used now is better than auto fire :/

[ApOcOlYpS]

I have a feeling it (fuel tube) is following what the demo-trap does (go off when enemies are within a certain range with option of manual fire). That could be nice.

[gundamwen]

Very Good, Mr. Creator . They are all good.

[Casojin]

that isnt good. because some times, you want to hold it to place it under an attacking force, then spill and ignite with a mig.

Do not worry. Hold fire button is there too.

It works like demo trap now, right?

- All: Supply docks have 10 times more resources now.

Hmm....to supplement the limited secondary income....we'll have to see about this.

[FAFNIROS]

CREATOR CAN YOU SEND ME some screenshots of the apocalypse devise
e-mail:tit896@hotmail.com

- All China: J-10 missiles can retarget

[Casojin]

Actually I think he meant that J-10 can retarget like F-18.

[Su8perkillr]

yep he does.

[FAFNIROS]
