This was super cool to watch. Listening to some of the original devs talk about how they created this game we all enjoy.

Pretty neat that some of us now do dev stuff. One of my favorites is the guy talking about balance and how he says it's completely broken.

@2:33, the description of their perspective in portraying very grim and sensitive topics was pretty good I think, and it very much stands out now. I don't think it's how game designers would talk about something like this today. They specifically are saying, we are avoiding things like genocide and slavery because this is a game and we want it to be fun. it just sort of stands out as an artifact of the mid-2000s, for better or worse

Is it just me or at 4:07 it's the actual in game heavy cannon sound? Right after they talked about how they used real sounds for the audio

I bought a used copy years ago off Amazon. Looking through my order history and clicking on the detail page again, it looks like someone still has one up:

edit: cant post link; search for this in AMZN and you'll find it: B000PH9ES2

This video is really interesting. It's nice to see the guy making the ronin samurai unit, i used to do these scenarios as a kid with 5 ronins vs like 200 pikes. It was the coolest shit ever. :biggrin:
