The main advancement in TA was the use of terrain, 3d units, the vast size of the playfields, it's more a case of evolution than revolution. The story was ****e though.

Agreed. But the gameplay concept was certainly original, backed up by an engine that allowed grand scale macromanagement with detailed micromanagement as well. Everything since then has really been a Warcraft clone, or an original concept marred by poor execution.

Tiara, can't you compress that in any way? Like reducing the number of frames you are recording per second? Or even recording in a worse quality?

Yeah, but all that had been done before already. When was TA out, actually?

[Ghostavo]

TA was out around september and october of 1997... can't find a specific release date.

It hadn't, that was the big deal about TA The only other game that could compete with it at the time was Dark Reign, which was good, but not as good.

Tiara, you have to take ALL of the video first, then use virtual dub to size it down significantly. But if that doesnt work then you can always put up a saved game on toughest difficulty. I dont have RoN with me right now but use FRAPS to record and then downsize it with VD. THEN, use an RAR program to compress it to an even smaller size. If you do record it, show you setting the settings on Toughest and everything being "standard" rules... Other then that:

I just flat out dont believe you. Neither does my friend.

er....does it really matter?

[Tiara]

Can't record it, thus I can't compress it. I need the file first to compress it but the file is OVER 40 gigs More then what I got left on my 180 gigs total HD.

I can save the game at times though.

Anyway, why don't you believe me? Cuz I'm a gal?

bull****:
random title... yeah:
Warhammer: Shadow of the Horned Rat, out in 1995, featuring very large 3D maps, with elevations and stuff, line of sight, bonus when attacking from above, etc, etc.
So THAT was the big deal about TA? Oh, too bad, so actually there's no big deal about TA
Of course not. The REAL big deal about TA was the huge amount of cool units.

No, it's not that I dont trust you because your a girl, it's just that I dont believe you. Sure, you can BEAT it on Toughest, but not in 20 minutes, with no artillery, and just swarming the enemy. It just doesnt work that way. Not only do you need a stable economy, sucking up about 90 civilians to bring it up to par, but then you need something that would even out your military, and just "swarming" them doesnt work. BTW: I managed to see a nifty "record video" playback on RoN when me and my friend were LANing, so I think you can use that. All you would have to do THEN, is turn on FRAPS, show you actually pressing the "toughest" difficulty mode with standard rules, no handicaps, and on conquest mode, and then show the first minute or so of the game. Then compress it two times.

YOU, did YOU try?

[.::Tin Can::.]

Actually I did, and I couldn't even get my economy running. The computer has resource handicaps, and I got owned in about 10 minutes or so... so then I would like to see what she does. If she can take over his territory in 20 minutes then lets see it!

Geez it's just game
