Welcome to AoMH!



So. First of all, to all of the forum newcomers, on behalf of HG, welcome to AoMH.
We hope that you have a pleasant stay, but there are several rules to live by, these can be found here, in the Code of Conduct (CoC for short). Be sure to at least scan it over: If you don’t it might have unpleasant consequences such as official warnings, and after that, bans.
Of course, or forum is also equipped with some special features, such as BB code, editing posts, signatures… and so on. It’s definitely a good idea to learn how to use them. Thus, be sure to read over the Forum FAQ. It can greatly improve things like showcases, announcements, and even just ordinary text.
Since this the Scenario Design section, we suspect you are here to create scenarios and game modifications, we would also like to give you some tips:
    If you are completely new, we suggest you just start in the editor itself, just click some buttons, open some menus, and just place something down to create something, it really doesn’t matter what.
    Of course, even the best designers need help at times, and we to provide this for you. Our Scenario Design Library (also found here for non-expansion pack players) has a great deal of guides, and further down there is a complete description of all places that provide useful information or you could try the search function at the bottom the thread list. (Click the link for a picture). If you perform a search, be sure to remember to not be too specific in your searches, this will give less results. Instead, try to think of one or two words that generalizes your query. You can also try to search the Downloads section. Many people have submitted helpful articles, lists and references.
    If you still can’t find the information you need, you can ask your question here, and somebody will answer it for you as soon as possible. If you still fail to find your answer in reasonable time (a day or two), you can post a thread so more people see your question.

Vivid Designs
Vivid Designs is an advanced design team for Age of Mythology, spawning from the now defunct Archdesigner Syndicate. We integrate many of the values and systems that worked so well in The Archdesigner Syndicate to create an enjoyable, creative learning area for those who wish to excel in the AOM designing world. Lead by two (rather sexy, in my opinion) former Archdesigner Syndicate staff, Vivid Designs plans to lift the standards of scenario design to a new level and create dozens of innovative, interesting maps. With your help, we may be able to achieve this!

So Your saying that perving on Keira Knightley, is Aomh tradition. Can you change it to something else other then explicit content?

I am glad you understand. Yep, perving on Keira Knightley is indeed AoMH tradition.

On a more serious note, I don't think it's explict content. But I don't know your background and your beliefs, and I hope you are not offended by the picture.

I am keeping it in, it's just a joke

So your saying i am gay, because i complained about a picture that has been offencive to my religion.

Don't you ever try to force your incorrect religious ideals upon us any further. If you don't like it, don't look at it.

posted 17 April 2007 12:09 PM EDT (US)     18 / 178  
Technically you could put the site that hosts the Image on the block-list, so you won't see it anymore.. I think I'll go do that in fact.

EDIT: Woops, accidentally blocked Heavengames.. :/

Scratch that idea..

i don't know my religion much, but all i know is that picture is offencive towards my religion in a rule which states the viewing of "the bodies art".

Like I said, I am sorry for that, and like Sir Dundo and Urgwaine said, you can block the picture.
I am still keeping the pic, it has been here at AoMH since 11-24-05 without any complaints, just laughs.
I really don't feel like removing the pic for somebody's religious ideals, because that can easily lead to more demands, and also freedom of expression might suffer from it, which is clearly something HG finds important:
It's actually part of the CoC's Principle Guidelines
http://forums.heavengames.com/support/tos.shtml

If anyone wants to debate this some more, feel free to start a topic in the Halls or the library. You can of course always e-mail me, but I am trying to stay out of these debates, so I prefer if you didn't.
At least let this thread be used in proper way: To welcome new agers.

I don't know, HG lacks good boards, I don't think you have warn levels and pm's etc..... because what Eazy did was unfortunately indeed flaming.

Guys, that is just Eazy's way of posting. He wasn't flaming, that's just how he posts. Please leave the moderating to us. If we felt that he broke the CoC, we would have done something about it.
