Unforuntately, TS:JC was not build so that the core maps could be edited. There were plans to add in expandability using some of the same XML files, etc. but that was never put into reality.

Hope you enjoy the game,

Thanks for your message. Unfortunately, there really is no opportunity for us to make upgrades to either the Alexander or Julius Caesar games. I do think that while the engine for TS: JC is much improved, there is still a lot of really great game play, some interesting ...

I can confirm that ammunition is a probability event. Whenever you fire an ammunition type, a 'check' is made to see if that is the last shell.

<t> That's actually a pretty good list. Here are few more tips & tricks:<br/>
<br/>
1) Using some of the historical tactics that Alexander used are always useful in each scenario. Remember his strong push to flank, especially with fast moving troops<br/>
2) Don't always focus on taking time to ...

A project like this would have to be written in DirectX 10 or OpenGL 3.0, IMO. I do not think XNA would have the horsepower to do what you are describing. <e>[/quote]</e></QUOTE>

<t> There are 3 differences between attack and charge:<br/>
<br/>
1) When charging, your movement options are limited -- you pretty much have to move straight forward.<br/>

2) You gain an initiative -- i.e., you usually get to move before non-charging units.<br/>

3) You lose your ...

<t> I highly recommend XNA Studio from Microsoft.<br/>

This is the new toolset from Microsoft that they are hoping to push for new developers. You can use these tools to write programs that run on PCs or XBox. If you build a nice enough game, you can buy the professional version that allows ...

<t> I hosted my first bulletin board system back in 1985. It started out at 300 baud, but I was able to upgrade to 1200 fairly quickly. It was an online game (just 1 player at a time)... you could explore through dungeons and traing your character. You could also challenge other players to simulated ...

A similar story happened recently in the same area (Ft. Worth, TX.) Some counterfitters were trying to sell $500,000,000 dollar bills. LOL...&nbsp; They got caught when someone tried to use it to buy something at a Wal-Mart and asked for change...

<t> The human eye is roughly equivalent to 16 FPS (from what I remember from my college days). So, if you ever see the number drop below that, you will certainly see flickering. Of course, screen refresh and other factors come into play on a computer display, so that really should represent your ...

Hard core game development is still done with C++, however some components are done with .NET because well (read: Microsoft), in .NET you can use C# language or Visual Basic language to do the game development. It might actually spead up writing ...

In fact, we did quite a bit of work on TS:JC including moving the 2D graphics engine to 3D, replacing the AI with a genetic algorithm (which has been ...
