Not really for BHG, but does anybody have an estimated release date? Or is the game that far away...

What do you like to eat whilst working on your games?

I know the folks there has a pretty large collection of herbal teas. We did a interview series with several of the Bih Huge Games staff on Rise of Nations Heaven before..

To BHG: Is the music for the game good, in your humble opinion?

What is that Alim box that looks like a Rubic's cube? How do you keep the giant spider robot from animation glitches and unattractive visual clipping?

Why is the Big before the Huge?

since you took out one of the nations.. will you tell us what it was? Since it is no longer in the game.. can we at least hear what we almost had?

Greetings,

Lets see, where to begin?

Firstly, it would be rather difficult to nail down any one primary food we consume as it ranges from American to Italian to Chinese. Burgers are always a popular choice.

What I have heard first-hand thus far is excellent. The musical score is very well suited to the environment and adds a much greater level of immersion.

Quote:

The Alin unit that looks like a Rubic's cube is in fact Arrihem's Puzzle Box. It is a support healing unit for the Alin forces and you can find out more about it here. As for keeping the spider robot mentioned from graphical errors, that is probably a feat of our programming guys and a bit beyond me.

Quote:

Ahh, I believe it was because Huge Big Games sounds a bit off. Games Huge Big would be rather confusing and Giant Monstrous Supersized Massive Gargantuan Megalithic Huge Games wouldn't fit legibly on a business card.

Hope this answers your questions.

Warm Regards,

Can you say anything related to any min. sys requirements so far?

Does the CTW campaign allow you to play with one of the races, or all three of them?

Will we be able to play online custom made maps?

Will alpha testers receive updated test builds?

Thanks!

Can't you give any tip about 3rd race? (is it magic or tech for example)

is there a map editor?

and... how does the level of uniqueness between the races of RoL compare to the level of uniqueness between the races of starcraft?

about the editor so far
http://rol.heavengames.com/cgi-bin/forums/display.cgi?action=ct&f=6,1,,30

but maybe Joe can give us an update.

Are you fellows much of the type to focus a lot on the map editor? Do you find it a very important aspect? My favorite part of any and all RTSes is to be able to create little worlds and scenarios for myself, and others. I've heard many good things about it, so I'm just wondering what your opinion is.

Quote:

And if not that, could you tell us when you will be revealing the third race?

Hello again!

Quote:

Minimum system requirements have not yet been released, so I can't say much about them, other than that the game scales well from what I have seen and from experiences with my own machine. The CTW campaign allows the player to experience all three races first-hand by playing as them. Players will be able to play custom made maps in multiplayer. As for the alpha testers, I don't really know for sure as Microsoft is handling our beta testing process.

Quote:

I can't really give out any information regarding the third race, other than they are impressive and will certainly give the Alin and the Vinci a run for their money.

Quote:

January/February is what I've heard, but it is subject to change. Keep an ear out for the announcement.

There is a scenario/map editor and its pretty robust as far as editors go. Just from fiddling with the editor a day ago, I saw that alot of time and love has gone into it. BHG feels that allowing players to craft their own landscapes within the world of Aio adds to the fun and enjoyment of the game, as well as boosts the replay value. Some of the most enjoyable maps I've played in the RTS genre have been player-made, and I'm sure there are going to be quite a few new and exciting player-created scenarios constructed using the editor after launch.

That old guy seen at the beginning and end of the RoL trailer, is he a member of the Alim, or is he from the third race?

Quote:

I'm afraid for more information on who that gentleman is and what he does, you'll have to wait until launch.

in RoL will be ages like in RoN or it will be like Starcraft?

Quote:

Difficult question as it lies somewhere between them both, but naturally more similar to RoN. There are currently 4 Advancement tracks with 4 levels researchable, each granting new powers or effects to your race.

Wow, thanks for all these answers.

It is certainly my pleasure. I am your humble servant.
