Priest of Marduk
Well, I will start this news with a small news from me. Sorry for the delay of the publication of the newest news. I have many things to do, for example Physics jobs, Mathematics jobs, art and concept art, some kinds of fun with my friends, sleep, hanging out in the tree, etc. But today, it is released!
The first line is question by , second line (quote) is Iliander’s answer, third line in red is my comment (in a bad grammar, you’ll know that). I edited
Interview with Iliander.
About AoE3:
1. When did you play or bought AOE III for the first time.
Hmm, well it is a strange omen to me if my dad gives me a video game. He hates it more than he hates my mum’s mother!3 years ago, when I was 12 and my mother had bought a new Mac, I desperately wanted ti try AoE3. I thought it only cost something like 10$ (I thought it was old), but it was much more. My dad gave it to me anyways, as a present.
2. What was in your mind at the first time you open and play it?
What thing I did first in the game is checking the history part…I absolutely loved it. First I wanted to click the people walking around in the HC at the menu, but that didn't work. So then I started playing the Campaign, but it was still a bit too hard, so I played it on Easy.
3. From all civ, which one is your favorite and why?
For me British aren’t that strong. Well, I prefer Ottoman more, possibly because of their fancy Janissaries.Um... the British I think. They're just awesome to play with, solely because of their Manor Houses. And nothing beats an army of Imperial Redcoats, Lifeguards and Rockets.
4. What is your best strategy in the game?
I prefer turtling, even if I haven’t any turtle in my house…That depends on the civ, but my best strategy is rushing. Only few people on GameRanger can beat me.
5. For you, who is the heaviest enemy in the game?
When in vanilla, my heaviest enemy is the chocolate.Heaviest enemy? I think the British or the French, can't really say. When talking about TAD, the Japanese are my toughest enemy.
6. Do you think that there is any game better than that?
In fact I love American Conquest, however I get lost “contact” to it. However, AoK had some interest to me, along with Victoria II, KoH, and some more strategy video game and map strategy (I love that style of game). And don’t forget Solitaire!I'm pretty sure there're many games better than Age of Empires 3, but my poor gaming experience disables me to give names (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim looks interesting to me).
About the Modding World:
1. What was the first forum you entered?
Well, these days they are not so interesting for me, especially because of their Far Right Policy and MOANERS!!!That was ne.elpea.
2. That time, what was on your mind?
Red Polish Bull will be appear in 3, 2, 1…I wanted to know how the Polish could Age-up, because I didn't know anything about those Hodowlanies (is it spelled right?).
3. Who were people who act kindly to you and who act harshly to you?
I remember that with Iliander’s death from the forum, I gone.Well, I remember someone called "Pepp" starting to send a lot of PMs to me, but with sometimes strange content............ Anyways, most people were nice, actually nobody was mean or anything like that, those things came later.
4. What is your favorite forum? Why?
That is mainly because Tilanus hates you …It used to be ne.elpea, but now it became K&B. Mainly because I can enter the secret forums here.
5. What is the first project you entered? Why?
Oh yes, you’re the ones who attract me enter the forum. And remember that some of that ideas for Flemish comes from, Dr. Pepper.K&B, of course. Why? Well, Tilanus disallowed me to join NE (or was that later?) and I wasn't interested in WotTA at all, oh and I love medieval stuff.
6. What is your impression there?
Especially with the Histoire Realite by Pepp!Very friendly people who see this mod as a hobby rather than a job.
7. Your job is clear, a balancer and stat maker. Please explain that job, professionally.
Well, sometimes it against my policy about Histoire Realite. I got angry and then fight comes, and chivalry down…There isn't much to explain about balancing, it's just extremely important. Balancers are there to correct things that he knows will turn out unbalanced. Creating unit stats is much harder, since it requires correct mathematical effort and an insight in how it would look in the game.
8. What do you think about Robert?
Lol? And he is anglophile.He's the most polite, friendly and forgiving person in the whole modding world. I think he's a great admin, because he doesn't act like an admin.
9. What do you think about the other project members?
There are You know who, Mr. Histoire, Finisher, Big Red Polish Bull, some other important member who have no stylish name, and also remember Agent 407.Each and one of them is entirely different, some are spammy, others are patriotic. But they all have great talents necessary for this mod to reach the finish.
10. Who is your best friend in the project?
Thanks!Well, that is Pepp for sure.
11. What is your hope for the project?
And still lack more Pepp…This mod is doing great, even if things are going a bit slow (?). The only thing K&B lacks are fans.
12. What will you do if someone insulting your balance works?
I’d ban him, if I can. However, once upon a time, Pepp can ban somebody…That depends if he's right or not. If he's right, I would greatly appreciate his discovery. If he's wrong, I would call him a noob.
About Spam:
1. What is spam for you?
Well, nearly the same with the Spampedia: The Spammy Encyclopedia. Good student!Spam? Something off-topic, untrue and at the same time insulting, funny that is not funny and other things like that...
2. Well, everybody know what is spammer and you counted among them. What is your impression for that?
He even had no Facebook that time, oh noes…I had never been on a forum before, so I didn't understand how serious things are even online.
3. Do you think you can be a serious person and act normally?
Those happen possibly because you read Mesopotamian article too much.I behave like that all the time in real life. I don't know why it's different when typing...
4. What kind of spam you used the most (see Spampedia for a clue)?
Hmm, I see… You considered a Master n00β.According to the Spampedia, my spam is either annoying, insulting, noobish, too many smilies or an opened fight...
5. What kind of spam do you hate? Why?
How with President’s, Gwyllgi’s, Pepp’s?I find spam always fun to read, so I can't really say...
6. Is there any spammer that you hate the most? Why?
He is more to a Forum Destroyer, the highest rank on the spammer’s ranks. Read my update to Spampedia (later)!Yes. That's Gwyllgi, for sure. Why? He's an absolute moron. Wait... is he actually a spammer?
Other things:
1. We all know that you like to preaching about You know who and most person hate about it, but why do you still continue it? Is that because you're pagan?
I’ll make sure it is 21 December 2012…No I'm not pagan. It's all part of my secret plan of spam, which will unfold somewhere this year.
2. It seems that you often have a li'l fight with Tilanus. Why? Is it he who is wrong or is it you? Is there anything can stop this world plague?
Like how two red bulls facing each other on a small island in Ceylon…Haha, Tilanus can't stand me because I'm extremely headstrong. But so is he... now that creates a conflict!
About AoE2:
1. When did you bought that old and good (for some) game?
It’s old and need to be modded by Age of Chivalry: Hegemony, if you love Histoire Realite (just like me).I got it as one of my Christmas presents, just because I desperately wanted to try it out. And it's still fun...
2. What is your impression about the game?
Well, you can’t find native here, but you can find more civilizations, and less UU…It's much better than AoE3 for what capabilities they had back then. I mean, AoA3 has a twisted feeling, something isn't right in it. While Age of Kings is absolutely lovely, I love the music and UI. It's very cozy to play it.
3. We know that most mod made by Microsoft Windows OS user and not my MAC OS user. Do you think you can convert most of the mod into MAC for yourself? For example, Age of Chivalry?
Believe to me, they are harder to mod. The BTN thing can’t help you there!Maybe in the future, when I have some knowledge about the Age of Kings files...
4. What is your favorite civ?
With some sense of overpowered and some Mrs. Nun…Hey, I've only played the campaign yet! I dunno, but I want to mod my own Flemish.
5. What system do you like from the game?
In AOE III we call it travois.The Trade Carts! THE TRADE CARTS!!!
6. What system do you hate from the game?
You can’t place them in the water, Ili...Those Farms, you can place them anywhere!
7. Any possibility for you to mod the game by yourself, or help my long-time-coma project?
I will gladly reject you.I will happily help you with research and balancing duties.
Real life:
1. Where do you life? What nation, city, neighborhood, etc.
I thought you live only in my mind…I live in Belgium, Ghent, [noneofyourbusiness], number [noneofyourbusiness].
2. What age are you, when did you born?
Young, spammy, and a bit ancient…I'm 15 years old, and was born at 24 September 1996.
3. What is your job? Preaching in the street of Ghent and in the Beguinage about You know who?
Then watch for some, alike begging in the street or preaching in the Church of Satan, or Mormon…I have no job.
4. How many time you spent for calculating?
Alike that I notice something false about my concept art, 5 minutes after I uploaded them…Haha what? Are you talking about unit stats? I calculate some before I go to sleep, but sometimes I suddenly notice a problem and have to change the already made ones.
5. What are your hobbies? For example, collecting Marduk's statues and some ziggurates miniature?
And to be known, Iliander likes to spam about his six pack belly and also his iron leg. Beside that, he is a prehistoric life, eh I mean YKW. Also, he likes to draw dragons.I have a lot of hobbies, but most of them are just interests. For sports, I do swimming and fitness. For art, I do drawing. For music, I did Piano, and maybe I'll start again this year. I also play chess, and may compete in the Flemish championship. Other interests include: Mythology, religion, prehistoric life, military history, medieval stuff, weapons, AoE3 concepts, insects, other animals, many more...
6. Do your parents like how you're addicted with AOE III?
But radiated…I'm not addicted!
7. Message for readers?
Thank you, I feel stupid with sending these questions to you…I feel hono(u)red. And now I'm finally going to take a bath.
And remember Boops!
Well, for me, Iliander is one of the most interesting person to interviewed, partially because of his habit to spam without end. He is really a

The Fin[n]isher!
Well, I became lazy in 2011 to update this newspepper. Sorry for that, BUT, I'm back with a news. Another interview, with the third greatest RM scripter in AOE III, AOE_Fan!
The first line is question by , second line (quote) is AOE_Fan’s answer, third line in red is my comment (in a bad grammar, you’ll know that). I edited nothing from AOE_Fan’s answer.
AOE III:
1. When the first time you play AOE III?
Hmm, 6 years. Old, suck, and need to be modded.The first time I played Aoe3 was quite many years ago, must have been in 2005 or 2006. My dad had bought it for me, as I was sick and alone at home.
2. What do you think about that game at first?
Then drink some pills, it is good for your memory.Hard to tell, as I can't really remember thing that happened while I was younger. I must admit that I haven't got so good long-term memory...
3. When you start to be attracted in scripting?
I know, that time you looks like a noob. :lol:It was in summer 2011. I first just wanted to try out what happens, and I eventually posted a thread to NE forums. Well, you can check the comments there.
4. What is the first modding project you follow?
Ah it is clear.I guess it's NE, as I posted the "My first RM" thread there. However, I'm much more into Medieval time, so K&B is the "actual" project I started to follow.
5. What do you think about that mod?
In fact there is only 4 modder and 1 modeler in this mod, the other are spammy...What do I think about K&B, a mod in which I'm a team member? Well, it's very interesting project and the fellow modders are great!
6. Why do you attracted to join that?
As I said, I'm interested of Medieval times. Also, Robert somehow managed to pick me up from NE forums and convinced that K&B would have use for me.
7. What is your hope on that mod?
Robber[t], listen to him!Getting the Prologue done, please?
8. Do you have any other, your own, project(s)?
"Helping" another creature is good.Not really, no. Apart from helping some other mods...
9. What do you think about your mod leader?
Robert? Well, he's very nice, he doesn't take everything as serious as other mod leaders. He also has the best English.
10. Who is your best friend in the mod?
Pepp in da first place, Robert in the second, and Iliander got nothingBest friend from the mod, hmm. I guess it must be Pepp or Robert, very hard to say.
11. What do you feel with all your works, which one is the best for you? Please explain it.
For those who do not know Gibraltar, please contact Tilanus Commodor at ne.elpea.netAs a perfectionist, I have to like all of my maps, otherwise I'd edit them. The best could be NE Gibraltar, but I can't tell anything of it yet, so for this interview I say Hedjaz. It has many different strategies and it looks very beautiful with cool desert feeling, like the date trees. We covered the map in first Map Showcase, best if you check it out.
Real life:
1. Where do you life? What nation, city, neighborhood, etc.
There is a Mooma Kanjikoo? No, but there is too much You know who here!!!I live in Finland, in city of Kuopio, in a city part of "Petonen". It is sometimes said being one of the most dangerous parts of cities in whole Finland.
2. What age are you?
I'm 15, just like myself.I'm 14, just like KD.
3. What is your job?
Beside wasting time with lines of codes...Student.
4. How many time you spent for coding, scripting, and AOE III?
He said to me that he will pension in 3 months. Bye!Too much? I'm keeping a few months break of coding and scripting now, I actually play Aoe3 quite rarely.
5. What are your hobbies?
What music? Metal Rock?Reading books (mainly detective novels from Agatha Christie, but also some from Donna Leon, based on Venice), being with friends, listening to music, playing Xbox 360, etc.
6. Do your parents like how you're attracted to scripting and coding, or not?
Eh, I'm pretty sure they don't know at all about this modding thing...
7. Message for readers?
And some pillsDrink !
Those all are what I could get from him, and please increase his chivalry and mine, NOW!

There Once Was a Man from
Well, I finally got around to finishing up this interview with the great Chilean Modder, Hoop Thrower!
His Answer will Look Like This[The Questions Will Look Like This
And my comments will look like this
First up are questions about AoE3:
Ah, I remember it as if it were yesterday, it was the spring (autumn) of 2008, wanted to play it for a long while but I had neither a capable computer nor knew someone who had the game, that time though I got a brand new notebook, and a female friend happened to have the game, so that's how I got started.When did you first start playing AoE 3?
Oooo a female friend...
Shortly after, summer of 2009 (err, winter for you northern hemispherians), I love to mod my games, and I got hooked fast, shortly after I played the campaigns and mastered the basics of the game.When did you start modding?
I personally am too paranoid to mod most of my games
NE I believe is the first mod I tried, however I believe TAOE (The Age of Enlightenment)was the first mod I really cared about.What was the first mod you started "following?"
For all you who don't know, TAOE was a Total Conversion mod for AoE3, from what I remember of the forums I knew they where going to add Austria, and Koreans. I know there where other factions, but I forgot
Well, TAOE is obviously dead and gone, however I like to help Tilanus when possible with spanish stuff.Do you still follow that mod?
And you also help K&B out ever now and then
As I said before, yes, I used to work for TAOE.Did you work for any modding teams before WotTA?
And then we all know what happened...
After like a year working on that mod, it irremediably fell, Neverseperat (I believe you know him) suggested we could do a Tahattian merge, at that point I was pretty much the only person who really cared about the mod, so, I had no troubles really, I still believe I am more in place in WotTA.Why did you join WotTA
Ah, never. That inglorious bastard. For those who don't know, he staged a coup d'état at the original TFN and overthrew arcalion. He then started a new mod, The Battle of Spirit Lake (TBoSL) which was about Native Americans. He was hated among us because he didn't do shit, yet he was leader. So we overthrew him and merged with WotTA (that's how Chris became a member actually.)
A really creative mind, somewhat paranoid, but he's a great visionary, is very inteligent and has impecavle work ethics, he seems to be a good guy in real life too.What do you think of Tahattus?
Now, now there's nothing wrong with a bit of paranoia.
Bound to happen, this has been discussed since months ago, so I kinda have it already assumed, obviously I will never be such a great modder as Tahattus (and that's not only humility, my color blindness does make me literaly unavailable to do some stuff Tahattus did excellently.).What do you think of taking Tahattus' place?
I'm sure you'll do a fine job! I mean as buggy as Korea was, it truly was my favorite civ. Also, lil fact. I actually knew of Tahattus' departure before the public. For that brief period of time when I was an intern, he posted it in one of the threads
Main problem is that we're missing a texturer, and that's in the way of we have no texturer whatsoever (Jangomango will briefly return to finish his proyect), but, as long as we solve that issue, I believe we won't have many problems, we've got lots, and I mean lots of stuff, already planned that hasn't be revealed yet...Is WotTA in crisis now that Tahattus is leaving, or do you think you guys can handle it?
Well I do hope you find someone.(as long as it's not Robert!)
Hehe, I believe that's something more of a personal question than one to be presented in the interview, yes, all most bugs had been fixed, only things to fix that I remember is the GW citizen thingy and the OOS bug. I can tell you that the catapult noh will be much more powerful now...How many bugs did you fix with my favorite civ, Korea?
BAHAHAHAHA!
Neither here nor there, I always want to get things done on time, but I'm nowhere near a perfectionist, wich tends to come to bite me later... Heh, the latino way I guess.Do you tend to be lazy with modding? (like me) or are you a bit of a perfectionist and need everything done on time and a 100%? (*Cough AoE_Fan*Cough)
For me quality always triumphed time
And now for some questions about Hoop Thrower, about himself:
I'm from the extremely thin and elongated republic of Chile. Born and raised in Valdivia (beautiful city), I'm currently living on Talca (a hellhole), fortunately, the year is ending and I'll be able to return or go to the capital to studyWhere do you live? (Country, I don't need your city or anything?)
That's good!
18 years old, as the time of this interview.How old are you?
By the time I finish this, you'll be seventy.
I used to play this card game named Magic the Gathering, but there's no place in this city to play it (a hellhole I tell you), aside from that I tend to go out to walk to nowhere in particular to clear my mind, or to read a good book. I've got 3 pets, wich tend to eat up what's left of my free time.What are other hobbies you like to do? (Excluding modding)
My hobbies include: sleeping, eating, plotting world domination, eating, and sleeping. :lol:
Well, I'm really good at history (duh), and I'm somewhat adept at programming (duh), and people say I'd be a good lawyer too, so dunno, I'll go to the uni and study one of those things I believe, currently I'm leaning for the first, but, who knows...What do you want to do with your life? (jobs etc.)
Do become a lawyer, you'll make a shit ton of money
Thanks again for your time Hoop!

Subject: online shop
As with any type of shopping it is possible to make mistakes during the process of online shopping. These mistakes may include ordering the wrong item, ordering the correct item in the wrong size or color, providing the wrong shipping address, providing inaccurate billing information, purchasing the wrong quantity of an item and even dealing with mistakes made by the online retailer. This article will discuss some effective strategies for dealing with mistakes made when online shopping and will also provide some tips for avoiding mistakes when online shopping in the first place.
Contacting Customer Service Immediately
Mistakes made when online shopping are typically realized either immediately after the purchase is made or else they are not realized until the order arrives. However, regardless of when the mistake is realized the first step for correcting the problem is the same. As soon as an online shopper realizes a mistake was made with his order, he should contact customer service immediately. In situations in which the mistake is realized immediately after the order is placed, correcting the mistake may be fairly simple as long as the online shopper contacts customer service to describe the problem immediately. If the order has not yet been processed, the customer service representative may be able to make the corrections before the order proceeds. However, many online retailers have their online shopping process completely automated which can make it difficult to make changes to the order even when it is recognized immediately. This may occur because the order has already been transferred to the shipper and the online retailer no longer has the ability to the files.
Even when a consumer does not realize a mistake has been made until the item arrives, he should still contact customer service immediately to report the problem. This is useful because this first call to customer service will start a record of the problem which will be useful in getting the problem resolved. The customer service representative can provide valuable information the consumer can use to rectify the problem as quickly as possible.
Making Returns when Necessary
When mistakes are made with an online purchase, it is often necessary to return the items to the online retailer. Online retailers who also have traditional stores may allow the online shopper to return the items purchased online to a traditional store. The other option for making returns is to ship the item back to the online retailer directly.
Depending on the cause of the mistake there may be different options available for returning the item to the online retailer. If the online retailer is at fault they may assume the responsibility for the cost of the shipping and may even make arrangements to have the shipper pick up the item from the shopper's home. This is both cost effective and convenient for the shopper. However, when the shopper is returning the item because he made a mistake or simply did not like the item the consumer will likely be responsible for the cost of shipping the item back to the online retailer.
Tips for Avoiding Mistakes when Online Shopping
Although correcting mistakes made during online shopping is not always difficult it is far better to try to avoid these mistakes in the first place. The best way to avoid mistakes when placing an order online is to carefully review the purchase before submitting the order. Most online retailers provide shoppers with the opportunity to verify information such as the items being purchased, shipping address and billing information before the purchase is submitted to the online retailer. Online shoppers should carefully review all of the information provided on this verification screen to help avoid making mistakes which can be costly in terms of time or money.
Mistakes when online shopping can also be avoided by placing the order through a customer service representative as opposed to through the online retailer's website. This method can help to limit the potential for mistakes because the consumer has the opportunity to converse directly with a representative who can answer any questions the consumer has about the product. Therefore, mistakes which often result from the consumer misreading the product description can be avoided.
Cheap Price Shop
One of the conveniences of online shopping which is enjoyed by many is the ease of comparison shopping. The ability to compare items quickly and accurate is ideal to shoppers who are looking to purchase items which offer the best features as well as to shoppers who are looking to find the best bargain on a particular item. This article will discuss a few of the ways in which comparison shopping takes place during online shopping including manual comparisons by the consumer and using comparison charts. This article will also discuss how items which are not readily available in traditional stores can be compared quickly and accurately when shopping for these items online.
Conducting Your Own Comparisons
Online shoppers often perform comparisons of items online in much the same way they would compare items available in traditional stores. However, the comparison process is greatly simplified when the consumer is doing the comparison online. When comparing two items a consumer may look at a variety of different aspects. Some of these aspects may include available features, durability, aesthetic appearance and even price. However, when comparing these items in traditional stores the process can be rather difficult. Consumers can often compare similar items in one store to determine which model of the item they prefer. However, once this comparison is complete the consumer also typically wishes to compare this chosen item with others available in terms of the cost of the item.
This financial comparison typically involves traveling from one store to another and comparing the price of the item at each store to determine which store is offering the item at the most favorable price. Online shoppers may also be interested in comparing the features and prices associated with a particular item but they have the advantage of being able to conduct these comparisons from the convenience of their home. Consumers can simply sit at their home computer and visit websites for retailers offering items of interest. With this information the consumer can determine which item they wish to purchase and which retailer they wish to patronize. The online shopper can also make this purchase from the convenience of his home rather than having to travel to the selected store to purchase a chosen item.

Subject: airline travel
To a few people who have been traveling via the airlines for quite a few years, it is becoming obvious that the courtesy issue has dropped. A few say it is because of a decline in airline service resulting in smaller and closer seats, charging customers for almost everything with a fee, and greater airport security. All these things and perhaps a few additional have made airline travel challenging to the traveler, and we want to impart several ways we as passengers can make the airline travel experience improved. Here is a consensus of what some etiquette experts articulate on probable disputed areas: 1. Who gets the armrests? There is widespread agreement that those in the center seat gets both, because unlike the passengers on either side, they have nowhere to lean. In addition, it is some compensation for having to take a seat in that middle seat. 2. The window seat passenger has to go to the bathroom, and he has to get about two slumbering passengers who are strangers. Tapping the stranger on the shoulder and courteously asking ought to do the trick, as there can be obviously no other choices. However, he ought to limit the disruptions to a bare minimum. 3. A passenger brings smelly food in the airplane and opens it up. Not a lot that the offended passengers can do excluding turn the air outlet on full blast. But for any passenger to do this is just improper and maybe only does it from ignorance. 4. Over a long flight the nearby young ones are disobedient. First, try to ignore it for so long as you are able to, next nicely say something to the parent if you cannot take it anymore. If it nevertheless persists, turn it over to your flight attendant, who is trained to control such issues. 5. A tall or really bulky individual sitting next to you infringes in your area. This is obviously a touchy one, as seats on several flights have gotten pretty little, and people are getting larger in general. Although you are allowed to your space from armrest to armrest of the seat you bought, every person really needs to be levelheaded to make the airline travel experience improved. I've found body language can go a long way in everybody positioning themselves in an agreeable position, but when things get truly uncomfortable, request the flight attendant if it might be viable to relocate. 6. My personal pet gripe, people who recline their seats so far as possible. I by no means do it unless the seat behind is vacant, and if anyone in front of me does it but it infringes on my space, my knees are probably going to dig into the rear of their seat, and it will probably be uncomfortable. Oh, well. I am somewhat taller than typical, and if there is no place to put my legs, they are going to push against the seat reclined into my lap. The actual fact is, with all the restrictions and with aircraft getting fuller and more cramped; we all have to take an approach of "let's get through this as best we can." Meaning for a short period of time, we all must get by under circumstances that aren't the most cozy to make the airline travel experience improved. But when all of us work together observing conventional etiquette procedures, the encounter can be made more pleasurable.
Can we just have a cheap, full version havoc maker instead of these stupidness???

- Let think that you feel this. As Tilanus and friends who lost Alexastor. Yeah, orphans. It is seems that KnB is just feel it in this dark time. While the progress once rocketing alike a British Imperial Ricochet or Chinese strange Flying Cow, it seems that there is a downfall that is coming soon. Yes, it seems that the most active real member of KnB for now is Math Ludovico, the Finnisher. And how with Peugeot407? Well, he seems to be:
1. Take a rest from medieval life.
2. Feel not so medieval.
3. Start to attracted to TFN.
Yeah, the last possibility is so bad . Will KnB fall just in second, even before the Prologue haven't out???
But, hopefully it is just a truth-less fear, or maybe, just maybe, Peugeot is spying on TFN, make sure that those Italian Stadrioti will not march faster than Pavise Crossbowmen... :lol: .

He is Going to Pension
As you all can read in the WotTA's forum, Tahattus, or in the real world named J..., is a scholar who learn about medical. In 2 months from now, he have to leave the world of modding, maybe, FOREVER. Yeah, he can say that he will help sometimes, but as what I learn in my psychological study, 50% of man who starts to works as a full time worker will leave any hobbies he had. Well, you will lolling for a while but read this: 40% will back to their hobbies, that is ABOUT sport and art, but not modding a game. He can back to texturing, but not texturing a unit.
And just 10% back to virtual game or modding them.
The fate of WotTA himself is different with NE's. While NE lost Alex, he still has Peter. But not with WotTA. In fact, the main members of WotTA if Tahattus gone: Chris and Hoop, can't texturing. Chris is a researcher, while Hoop is color blind. It is so hard for WotTA, as he even hasn't make the African civs.
If you're interested to help them, call: Tahattus

As we all know, there are a game called Age of Empires III, which is made and updated to Ensemble Studios. Of cource, for them it made seance to update thee game regularly, because they knew this would make them look professinal. They wansered the demands of the public and donk update AoE3 to often to prevent it from being anoyying. AoE3 was seen in the begining as an unorthadox game for its trade routes and home cities. They good have not done these things, but do to the pressure of beign original, they decided no using it. I tink that manny people alike me will share in own opinion that AoE3 is a good game, iwith an excellent campaing and songrs and tough it has beatiful unit textures and archittecture, it isn't very haevy ojn graphics cards. They gave permition to everybody to mod AoE3 and acces to thge game files, wich means that everybody cxan start modding alredy, even if your not a bexperet. Soem say AoE3 is a litle similarn to Age of Mythology, but others say it's the other way round and AoM is slimier to AoE3. My ownl opinion is that they're very much smilier, but they have added so many new ideaqs that the games are still vry different. Also, ES had the outhority to say what they wanted to do wityh the game, so it's okj. The game would be more poplar thoug if they gave away a free lambhorgini or ipadf with it.
This is not a joke. The previous bit of text isn't made up or deliberately misspelled, it's compiled from all kinds of spelling errors and other examples of general illiteracy that I could find on these forums. I know reading it must have been a bit of a challenge, and as such I'd like to give you all another one. The first person to accurately guess which words are meant and to correctly respell the entire bit of text receives 1000 Ducats. I know the text isn't all that good and sometimes sentences feel a bit forced, but I had to do that to incorporate some of the biggest errors into this text without the need to change the subject.

The Biggest Joke for WotTA and Friends
daniel, in WotTA, said:
mkaing a little note here: I think that Pepp should put som ething about this in Fransesca des Sales
Well, yesterday, I search in the internet for the base of Tupi's flag in WotTA. So I write Tupi, but there are (ups) n@ked Tupi women instead of flag. So I add another word, FLAG, and start searching again. Funnily, I found a wiki, with an explaining "TUPI (CIVILIZATION). First, I think that it is a wiki of WotTA, but then I think that WotTA copied from it.
But, when I open the wiki, I got an illumination. THAT IS A FAKE GAME :lol: .
Then, I open and read many things, that came to a conclusion:
1. This is a joke, or fake.
2. This is funny for me.
3. The maker, Zibran 1998 is a noobish person, aged less than 13, who lives in a poor village in the corner of Bangladesh, where he must live on water...
4. Dude will kill him if he tried to add Knights and Barbarians.
5. He had 3 wiki, and all are 'bout fake game :lol:
Here is his wikias:
1. http://imperialempires.wikia.com/wiki/Imperial_Empires_Wiki
Here where I go first. There, he said that WotTA is an expansion to this "game". But, the explanation is too crappy. :lol:
2. http://leagueofbigbomb.wikia.com/wiki/League_of_Big_Bomb_Wiki
There are nothing. All Categories are empty. And the Middle Ages ones, they had no connection each other and the idea of the civs are craps and all are copied badly from WotTA, Age of Dynasties, and others.
Robert commented:
How wrong did I get it in my previous post... It isn't even a medieval mod, it's just an uninterrupted collection of civs from all parts of history that have absolutely nothing to do with each other. Worst of all, they claim that the historical basis for their Mongols was the Timurid Empire. Well, I'm sorry, but the Mongols are the Timurids in the same way that I am The Dude. Which is, not.
3. http://aoe3thewarcoast.wikia.com/wiki/Age_of_Empires_III:_The_War_Coast_Wiki
Empty...
Even, he wrote this:
"Hi everyone I'm the adminstrator of this wiki and the creator of the game."
"Age of Empires III: The War Coast is the first mod of Age of Empires III produced by the league of Big Bomb. "
That's for today. Comments, please? And yes, please increase my chivalry for this news :evil : .

Interview: Ca Putt von NE
- Spoiler:
- Some days ago I send a letter to Ca Putt, a member of NE team. Then he answered me with this:
well sure, tho I'm a bit confused why you want to interview lazy ol' me^^
Then I send him some questions, and he answered:ah I understand, get to know that other guy
And here is my question (italic are his answer, red are my comment):
1. When the first time you play AOE III?
Got it like 2 days after it was released.
I’d say, a lucky guy.
2. What do you think about that game at first?
Pretty graphics, fun time frame, somewhat strange unit selections(hussar in age 2 and called heavy cavalry, helloooo?), fun gameplay better than aom, crappy editor worse than aom.
I’m with him for this, and yes, the editor is somewhat crappy and hard to learn, but it is still better than Settlers HOK’s.
3. When you start to be attracted in modding?
I think that was a few months before TWC came out, I got sorta bored of the America centered gameplay and was looking for alternatives on the net.
Hmm, a good start to become a modder.
4. In what part you're mastering at modding?
Hmm, I would not call myself a master of any modding discipline but I think I'm quite a good researcher and I'm also very fond of my concepts(both graphical and code related), I do know how to skin and ain't toooo bad at it but It's nothing I like to do and it takes me quite a while.
A bit alike me, doesn’t it?
5. What is your first mod (first modding project you follow)?
the first mod, I followed was NE, the first mod i downloaded whas NE and the first modding team I joined was NE.
Yeah, a zealot.
6. What do you think about that mod?
It's great, offcource!^^
If he answer that it is crappy, he’ll be banned and fired... Btw, a typo (alike what did Grammar NAZI will says)
7. Why do you attracted to join that?
As mentioned in 3. I disliked the geographic setting of Aoe3 NE gets ridd of that so... (also a reason I disliked the first expansion and loved the second one)
Umm, not interesting -_-‘
8. What is your hope on that mod?
Getting a stable and polished version out, with all the new stuff were puttin in.
I wanted that too for KnB
9. Do you have any other, your own, project(s)?
Well I was doin stuff for TAA and have plenty of concepts for a mod of Mount and blade but I doubt I'll find the time for that.
Well, he doesn’t answer my question correctly...
10. What do you think about your mod leader?
Great guy, ^^ a bit bossy and stubborn at times but afterall it's him who keeps the ole lady floatn. Without him the mod woul be long dead.
It is clear from his name, TC or PP.
11. How is your mod going? Is there any problems?
not bad, right now I'm a bit lazy ... again ... but generally things are going allright.
Ow, alike how KnB working now, a bit lazy after a hard work.
12. If you're texturer, can you give me one of your texture (in shape of unit of course)? If you're concept artist, can you give me a concept art? If you're scripters, just give a screenshot of unit you scripted. Not must, though.
yes.
Short, clear, and also wise anwer.
13. What do you feel with all your works? Please explain it.
ehm? I like creating stuff, so every time I finish something for the mod I get this little kick you get from eating a bar of chocolate. Originally I came from scenario design where the effect is quite similar.
Can somebody explain to me about what he mean?
Real life questions:
1. Where do you live?
In Germany somewhat in the center.
Is there anybody lives in Germany somewhat under it??
2. What age are you?
I'm in my early twenties.
More young adult in the AOE III modding world...
3. Single or enganged or in relationship?
can't answer that now, I'm beeing watched.
With whom? His girlfriend, boyfriend, or grandma :lol: ?
4. Your nationality?
German
HRE...
5. Hobby beside modding?
Painting, History, BBQ and all the things guys of my age like to do.
Vandalizing Ferrari car that parks in the road, making grafitti on Mayor’s Office, stealing bread from banks, drink too much dextral, killing somebody just to know how he dies, and many more...
6. Your job and what you want to achieve in your life?
I do a moderately qualified job with a decent pay and would like to become the ruler of the world, but It's cloudy today so I'll put that off till tomorrow.
Ruler of the world, does he mean this ruler:- Spoiler:
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Beside that, I also interviewing another member about his comments about Ca Putt. His name is The Great Tarantula. Well, read these all if you think you're courage enough, as his answer is rather PEGI +18 and somewhat not serious at all...- Spoiler:
- 1. What do you think about Ca Putt's works?
He's the greatest artist of our time! A master rhetorician. A demagogue who seduces the masses. His words enrich our documents with the shine of god! Absolutely brilliant.
Umm, not interesting to me.
2. What do you think about his personality?
Ca Putt is a cruel, psychotic and sadistic person. He loves to object, provocate, cause fear and conflicts among the staff members. He wants to take control of us and penetrates our minds with spam mails that massively contain pornographic content. HELP! - I am a lil afraid of him at times.
I need my headache medicine....
3. What you hope more from him?
I hope that he'll find peace once. O restless and blood-thirsty satan! Be merciful!
Rest in peace?
4. What do you feel about him (personal feeling)?
I'm in a sexual relationship with Ca Putt. Actually I'm not the type of person for a masochist role (consider I'm actually the project leader), but Ca Putt has an adorable aura, I could not resist!!
We practise cam sex and send nostalgic love letters in Victorian fashion to each other. He has monster cluub!
*Quadruple facepalm*
Believe it or not, I was fainting after I read them...
Really, for me they're a too vulgar rough sarcastic joke in a bad Victorian Era language.
Enough for now, I want to kill one of my personality, bye!

In Memoriam: Old Forum of KnB
- Spoiler:
- Before I start the news, I want to say that this is rather a ‘history class’ than a news. However, let’s start it.
Maybe some of you have know about KnB’s old forum. Yeah, if you haven’t, I’ll give you the links, here: . Yep, not KnB it is, but under AoC. And now, we will know about it more from the side of Peugeot407, King of KnB, or if I want to say, one of the most calm person in AOE III modding world and forums.
He join the old forum somewhere around 2007. At that time, there is no KnB special thread, so the KnB team discuss it at the Public Forum (here, it resemble the Inn). Soon they realized that that is not work well, as there are too much messy problems with outsiders, so Argalius offered them a special forum, only for KnB. And here we go, the proto history of KnB.
The forum itself administrated by Argalius, and thus not from KnB. In fact, AoC was somewhat near death experience that time, so the vast majority of traffic came from KnB’s first Headquarter.
When I ask peugeot aka Robert J.F.K. about the most annoying member of the forum, he said that it is Markss aka Edgar Khan, who always needed to be reminded that K&B isn't a fantasy mod.Others than him, normal person. And btw, if you don’t know their ‘real’ member, here you go:
1. General II
2. Spangopola
3. Peugeot
4. Linus
5. Cicero
6. Lord Duck
7. Markss
8. Northern Lord Marvin
9. gibbo1993
10. NiXiM
11. alvaro_qc
The first four were permanent members, but the other are temporary and they seems gone after the forum dissapeared...
That forum is different with today’s forum. First, that is just a team forum. Second, Peugeot isn’t the admin. How he must be so happy with this new forum and his power as a King. And the main good news, NO ILIANDER LIKE person in that forum. Hurrah!
By the far, the forum itself is a bit normal, and thus not beautiful alike today’s. But, one thing that should be noticed is that, “To an extent, yes. I do miss Linus' textures, Markss' concept art and Cicero's brilliant civ outlines, which were always very detailed. However, K&B hardly progressed in that time, and we didn't really have plans. Now we're very near releasing a first version, which sort of tips the scales in favour of this forum and its members.”
As ending, it is a bit shame and pity though, as all works they did gone, disappear alike dust when the forum, unconsciously, dead. But that is history.

Ban the Young Baby!
- Spoiler:
- Do you know who is Miro? I'm sure you know who is him. A bit alike a cloning of Iliander, among the list of Zegysugo, Paco, and still many more, breed of Arcalion and Washington. Yeah, even if Iliander is spammy, you can taste his adultness behind his spamness, but Miro? He is just too childish and a photo copy machine master... Copying everything from NE to be brought to WotTA and KnB and vice versa.
Here is the dialogue in WotTA, to show his childness:- Spoiler:

If NE wanted to, we would hire a hacker a looooooooooooong time ago. :lol: (I'm sure if they wanted to WotTA, would also hire a hacker) But, NE doesn't, we like competition, and atm we seem to be cooperating just fine.

great idea, good work both of you, the hacker story was very interesting, I was actually worried about WotTA.
P.S. What happened with Illander again, I was a bit confused. He became an admin and went wild?
