Well, I have it on good authority that each of these pictorial beauts have been signed in gold by Bruce himself. You still have time to enter. Find out how much right here atAge of Kings Heaven.

8:40PM EST – Good Units or Better Resources?
Over here there is a discussion going on about whether having military bonuses is what makes a civilization better than have non-military bonuses. Let them know what you think. Oh and watch out for all those old posts…some of them might actually be quite engaging. 🙂
The contest results are in at our big sis site Age of Kings Heaven.

8:20PM EST – Editing Men!
One of our forum frequenters asks if it is possible to edit the men in AOE. Nope, not an attempt at making men more emancipated. 🙂 He would like to change the names and other aspects. Some suggestions have already been posted, but he could use some more right here.

6:30PM EST – New Posts
Heads up because we have some new entertaining posts up. The matter of balance…well, it hangs in the balance shall we say and find out how well things are on the German Frontier, courtesy of Caesar himself. Now that little item on “lazy” Angels must surely be a little misplaced. 🙂 Angel Dutch Uncle Al nods his head in wise and weary understanding and says this: all shall come to those who wait. Sounds kinda familiar don’t it? 🙂 Anyway, find these threads and many more right here.

10:45PM EST – Balance Thread Unbalanced and Unconfirmed Rumours
The discussion on ROR balancing remains varied and expansive. One comment that caught my attention was that when balancing one thing, you invariably unbalance three others (sounds more like one of the corollaries to Murphy’s Law). How true. How difficult a job it really is for the developers and testers. Let us know what you think right here.
Now Angel Reckless Rodent is newsing in for Washy at our sister site, AOK, so we at HGS have been prepared for some radical stuff. Well, let’s just say that we now know what the ‘Reckless’ part of that name is all about: the X-pack is going to be in 3D and it’s going to be called Age III? Angel Dutch Uncle Al only has this to say: I don’t think so.

The Balance post has been receiving a lot of attention lately. Do you think it may become unbalanced at one point? 🙂 Always wanted to be a Mercenary?

6:00PM EST – Granary is dispensing more!
The ever active Angel Grenadier bombarded off a quick message that two new scenarios have been received and are grinding strategy big time at the Granary. Why big time if there are only two now scens? Well, you’ll be puppy pleased to know that one of them is from Gordon Farrell himself! Remember him? Thought so. 🙂 If you don’t, just have a quick look at February 14th’s news and you will be pleasantly surprised.

6:00PM EST – Latin Plurals Proofreader Position Filled
Got a very informative e-mail from Nietzshe191 pointing out that the official Latin plural of forum is fora, not fori due to the -um ending. Don’t worry, I won’t go into detail. 🙂 Thanks Nietzshter! So, all of you would-be latin proofreaders, N191 has filled that vacancy. Sorry!
