    Default Serious copyright infringement detected in Kingdoms

    Look at these two pictures, one from Kingdoms and one from Star Wars (I'll leave it to you to figure out which is which as I honestly can't tell them apart after mixing them by mistake):

       

    I think CA should get their lawyers loaded and unlocked, George Lucas isn't known to take these things lightly!

    Theres no second image. Maybe the Maya or whoever should sue George Lucas for copying their axe warriors!

    EDIT Oh there is now, nevermind

    Chewbacca warriors! You can only defeat them by chucking a buzzin' mad hornet's nest at 'em, then lighting them on fire w/the greek flamethrowers!

    I don't know. I've been trying to figure that out. Is he claiming that the warriors from Central America were armed with bowcasters and worked on small commercial spaceships?

    Can't you see? It's all coming together in front of my mental eye. CA noticed their native American units suck. Then, out of an instinct to preserve their creation, they had a brainstorming session on how to make them better (a brainstorming session at CA OZ obviously includes a lot of consumption of illegal substances) and the result was something on the lines of:
    "-ROFL we need to make the mayans stronger. They suck ****
    -Strong? Ahahaha, hey guys, I have it! The most rofl idea evah! You know those Star Wars movies? Chewbacca's, like, real strong, right? Haha. So here's it: The insane wookie warriors. You see? Wookie, like Cookie! Hahahaha
    -ROTFL Peace!"

    Well... that makes the Spaniards Stormtroopers, which definitely makes sense... So, which faction gets the kawaiiicuddlycutywinks, silly-yet-surprisingly-efficient mini-wookies then ? :laugh4
    Anything wrong ? Blame it on me. I'm the French.

    It is because of the brutality of Herman Cortes and the Conquistadores that surviving generations of Aztec-wookies adopted the 'pull their arms out their sockets if you lose' philosophy.

    Dammit, my heart jumped with joy when I saw this thread, thinking that the expansion had been leaked, and I had a chance to get my filthy hands on it early....

    I'm also still waiting for the English Lightsabre Militia which should replace Billmen as far as I'm concerned.

    @alpaca

    That's easy you just have to mod out the naval academy and replace it with a jedi academy

    What a tactic, you pair you longbowmen with a padawan and no longbowman ever get's hit as the padawans will just slice incoming missiles with their billsabers and as a bonus you longbowmen get laser spikes to ward of charges

    And the English alliance will steamroller the evil Spanish Empire
