    Hopefully atleast the game will be properly balanced because i cant bare to see Brontosaurus tripping over because of unbalanced game nor can my speakers handle that sound!

    How will one maintain historical accuracy of the campaign if no records existed millions of years ago? From fossils?

    I found an early screenshot!



    So far for historical accuracy, I guess

    Not that I plan to buy it; I hate steam.

    Steam's not so bad! I mean as far as combustion sources, its probably the least hazardous and as good as we're ever going to get.

    If this were 1878, I'd agree with you.

    Bah, no wonder they can't make a historical accurate game; the entire company itself still runs on steam anno 2011

    [engineer] Steam isn't a source of combustion - though it is a useful means of energy even in this modern age. [/engineer]


    So, what will the requirements for advancing through the various prehistoric eras of dinosaurs be?

    EDIT: Thanks for sharing the new game. Will we get flaming pigs again, not to scare our enemies, but to distract them with the smell of bacon?

    Daah--it gets me curious. How many factions would there be: Brontosaurus, T-Rex, what else? BTW, could you form an army of T-Rexes? I think if you put one T-Rex beside another, they'll try to eat each other up. And I'm also curious: do you form a phallanx with Triceratops? Or a testudo with Ankyllosauri? Indulge my curiousity. Hawooh.
