Hi, welcome to Age of Empires! Thanks for your edit to the War Elephant page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- KazMx (Talk) 11:59, May 12, 2009

(Age of Empires 2)
Thanks for moving the pages, that saves me from needing to do that :)

Re:Skin Change
Thanks for informing me, I think that this wiki should have a different skin though. Oh well, that can be determined at a later time.

Wiki
Hello !mmortal. This Wiki is getting more and more active by the day, would you mind doing some more editing? If yes, thanks. Also, do you play AOE3? If so, I would love to play with or against you >:). Thanks, 21:21, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply, I look forward to the day when I can play you online :) Ajraddatz  (talk | contribs) 13:44, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Heroes
Haha, you are right. Thanks. Oh, congrats on 300 edits by the way :) Ajraddatz(Talk - Bot talk) 03:43, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Recent Changes Text
I recently added text above the Recent Changes, but it is a little.. lacking. Any thoughts? The MediaWiki file can be found here, but you can't edit it (I want a user right so that users can edit the MediaWiki files), so please leave any changes you want on either it's talk page, or mine. Thanks, 04:53, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Congrats, and thanks for all of your improvements here! I have granted you rollback rights, hopefully it will help someday with anti-vandalism. I hope to expand the right to also include moving files and suppressing redirects. Thanks again, Ajraddatz Talk 04:36, November 29, 2009 (UTC)

AoM Content
Please see Forum:Age_of_Mythology_Content, and vote in it. Thanks, and hope to see you around here some more! Ajraddatz Talk 03:35, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, and sorry for asking so many questions ;), do you like the new skin? If nothing has changed go into your prefs and select "Let admins override my choice" in the skins section. Thanks, Ajraddatz Talk 03:54, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Admin
Hey !mmortal, would you like to be an administrator here? Then you wouldn't be affected by rate limits, delete stuff, etc. Ajraddatz Talk 01:19, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done :) Ajraddatz Talk 01:49, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Library Titles
Ok, thanks, I only called them that because it is from the DS version of the game. Is it possible you could move them to their rightful place? It would be appreciated, as I am very buy creating the other documents for the library and i really need to get thm up as soon as posible so that it's out of th way. Thanks. Dinomino21 17:42, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

not a problem! the only thing i have full on changed was the British page. That page is currently something that i am working on and am not yet done, i thought that i posted on it that it was under consruction but i may be wrong. Other then that i edited the ashigaru page. All of the history stuff for that page i believe was mentioned in the one that i put up so i replaced that with my version as it had paragraphs to make it easier to read. I did in fact keep what was previously written about the cards and upgrades that you can get for the ashigaru which i put with the skirmish and multiplayer section.

Ill try to work on my caps and grammar, i dont usually catch my mistakes because there is usually a spell check so im going to have to pay a little more attention this time arond!

Btw, i made the Age of Empires III: Fort and Fort Wagon page, i know there is a for page but i did this because the info on that page was outdated and slightly incorrect. As i result i put in a sugguestion to delete it. I also did it because i wanted to add "Age of Empires III" before the title, everything seems to be organized that way so i was just trying to help with the organization.
 * In cases like that, you are free to update the information. Thanks for all of your work here! 04:03, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

AOEAOM123, Reporting for duty.
Hey thanks for letting me on here, i promise i will help out as best as i can by making comments, editing and adding articles, and researching great information about the game and information aqquatent to the game.

Templates?
Hi, !mmortal, I'll try to fix some internal links, but I feel that many templates and images are inexisting, and that they should be there. I know nothing about that (templates). Anybody, help!

My new account
Hi Mr !mmortal, it is still me AOEAOM123, i lost my account and my email broke. So, i created a new account so i may continue to serve. Please message back to me if you understand.

When moving pages
Be sure to go back to the old address of the page and click "What links here?", going through the list of pages and redirecting their links to the new page address instead of the redirect page. Mictlantecuhtli 17:54, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Age of Empires III
Shouldn't we have a Age of Empires link thingy on the sidebar??

Re:New Skin
I don't like it either, but I guess we'll need to adapt. I'm going to customise it a bit over the weekend in terms of the look, but I don't know if that will even make it better. As for the articles, I'm not sure what we can do for those. :/ 13:25, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hate the fact the skin thing keeps messing up all sub wiki sites each time they tinker with it (ME2, DAO, AoE3, Fable, etc). It drives me crazy not being able to edit when I actually have time. Mictlantecuhtli 17:56, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Mictlantecuhtli running amok
Hey !mmortal, it's me again. I've once contacted you via IRC to restore a mod article (The Ancient Age) which had been deleted by Mictlantecuhtli. Unfortunately it seems that no one has talked to him about "deleting mod articles". That's disappointing. He deleted another mod article and this time it just couldn't be worse, he deleted the Napoleonic Era article. Not enough of damage provided, it seems that he had deleted the article already once in time, but that you restored it afterwards. Now the reason is the same and I have the impression that his actions are not for the benefit of the wiki in the first line, but that he's acting after his own imagination of how this wiki should be. Seriously, I'm really doubting he's aware of the mantra that wikis live by participation and that the contributors decide what to contribute since the people and not just a few admins make the scene.

His acting is very annoying and an offense for the whole modding scene. We'd really like to contribute something to the wiki, because we share the vision of a great AoE database, but we will not do that under these circumstances. Tilanus C. 04:05, April 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * No professional grade wiki allows unofficial mods to be posted as actual articles. Dragon Age, Neverwinter Nights, etc, etc all frown upon fan made mods leaving blog posts and user pages. I don't know where you got the idea from as no community I have ever participated in has allowed it. The quality can not be guaranteed, neither can the safety of the files people are directed to download. For that reason its always been preferable to have people post them in blogs or on user pages so the player doesn't associate the files with the actual wiki and assume they are safe to use based on the wiki's reputation. Mictlantecuhtli 12:36, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * //#1
 * You simply ignore or don't see the potential that it has and obviously you know nothing about mods (mods are always unofficial). This has nothing to do with the "professional wiki standards" bla bla. You should know that standards can be enhanced and this is something a wiki should not only allow, but also support. It's in their own interest! I'm sorry for all the other poor gaming wikis you mentioned, they really miss something that distinguishes them from a normal game manual. Seriously, a wiki should not just become a more detailed repition of game manuals. You need to offer more and focus on things that are not mentioned anywhere else and marked as "official". Otherwise, what's the point?
 * A wiki is a collection of knowledge and you hopefully know that there is neither good nor bad knowledge. So what is the argument against mods being mentioned in wikis? I really think you lack the basic understanding of what the so the high valued mechanism of wikis is.
 * //#2
 * //#2
 * //#2


 * Another point: Quality can be guaranteed by regularly controlling the articles on sources, style and credibility. That's what admins and mods are mainly supposed to do in a wiki, consequently providing clear and equal criterions of quality so that the contributing people (!), who know what is or might be relevant, know the standards. Thus it's not your task to decide about what is relevant content or not, cause this is something that the contributors  decide about! You're neither the AoE3 scene nor the community, so you just can't know what is relevant.


 * //#3
 * You do not only ignore the amount of work that has been put into an article, you even delete them instantly and allow no debate about your decisions, they're absolute for all members and you think they're perfect. I really wondered how you even ignored decisions of other mods/admins and delete mod articles a second and third time. Try to see it from the POV of a contributor and guess how that feels. This is censorship, paternalism and selection. This is a wiki man, not your personal homepage. If you want only a selection of content and full control, do a homepage, don't do a wiki.
 * //#4
 * //#4


 * Furthermore, a wiki can't have no bias, it's the neutral base on which upon the content grows like a plant. So your talking and fear about mods being associated with the wiki's reputation is not only irrelevant, it's also illogical, cause a wiki can't have a reputation. Only the mods' and admins' decisions and actions can be in a good or bad repute.


 * //#5


 * For those inferior modding folks you have by far the worst reputation, people complain about you, refuse to help this wiki grow and want other people to boycot this wiki because they are getting mistreated by you. You can now hide behind your guidelines again and preach em, but be aware that this won't stop people from badmouthing you and sadly also the with-you-associated wiki. If the current game wiki policy is more important for you than the success of this wiki, then just continue deleting community-related content.


 * //#6


 * Open your eyes man, it's the  community  that makes a game interesting, so it's ridiculous and stupid to lock out the community in a wiki, which is the origin of all relevancy when talking about a game. This is 21th century, the contributors here don't work for you or the wiki, they write for the community's benefits. Tilanus C. 14:57, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * You are simply angry your pet project or liked mod lost some of its free advertising, no one else complains but unnamed anonymous ips that could easily be one person. I am done at this wiki, its essentially dead as it is and the quality is poor because there is no firm ruleset of behavior as all other popular and professional wikis have. Before you begin bad mouthing those other wikis perhaps you should look at the difference in quality compared to this wiki. People will always complain over admins because they don't agree with them, the idea that a few complaints represents the bulk of editors is ridiculous. I didn't intend to argue with you, your circular logic won't allow you to be reasonable because your desire for individual freedom is screaming from the back seat. If Immortal feels it should be restored again that is fine, I am done arguing with people who have never been part of a successful wikipedia. Mictlantecuhtli 15:09, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Haha, no way man. Contrary to you I do have  good  arguments while you simply don't even try to counter them in detail. Watch your answer, it's so short, there can be no references to my arguments and that just proves that you don't give a sh** about contributors. // I'm indeed angry, but because of your stubbornness. See, I really don't claim something that is misplaced or inappropriate here like .. wanting mod ads on a school bus or the daily news. Community-created content, i.e. mod (ALL mods, not just my lousy ones) deserve a place in an AoE3 wiki. You didn't even delete only mods in which I participated, but also other ones - and there are so few, because bad mods die rapidly. And if you furthermore look at the contributors and editors of mod articles, you'll see, that it's not solely my work, but that there are indeed more people who thought adding and improving this type of content is a good idea for the wiki. I'm well-connected in the modding scene, I know what they say about this wikia. You got so few complaints, because this wiki isn't well-known in the AoE3 scene, I don't know why, you either missed a few important forums or the necessary power for making ads.
 * And you're probably done at this wiki because you had no success at it, i.e. making it relevant and attractive to the community. It's a lil schizophrenic to say "I am done arguing with people who have never been part of a successful wikipedia" if your own wikia isn't successful either. The idea of making a wiki without including community content is a idea without no future. Tilanus C. 15:37, May 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Tilanus is right, this admin is completely idiotic. And why can't there be a page of a certain mod (Great mod)?≈Iliander≈

Bureaucrat rights
Hello, would you like bureaucrat rights? With them you'll be able to make other users admins via Special:UserRights. 02:01, June 4, 2011 (UTC)

New Project:Revolution
Please check Revolution, I hope I can count you in. 18:47, June 17, 2011 (UTC)

Revamp
I think this wiki needs a major revamp (especially the Main Page).

We need a different Featured Article and for that new nominations which we currently lack.

We also need a new HBFS. Btw, what purpose does it serve?

We need more/new Trivia under the DYK heading.

We also need to eliminate those red links and just unlink the ones to impossible pages.

We need more pictures (Google Images is a good source e.g. Morgan Black AoE III).

We need a standard format for articles and users should cease referring to themselves on pages (such as "i think this is the right spelling".

We also need more active users and a page to link all User Accounts and Admin Accounts (We currently have a page called Users but only 1 link. The trouble is, nobody knows how to add a User page to a Category).

Thanks

Hello
Hi there! I'm new here. I know a lot about wikis, Age of Mythology, and AoE II and III. Especially AoM though, because it's the only one on my computer at this time. I really like wikis, and this one looks great! I'm looking forward to helping out a lot in the future! --Hoodedwarbler12 14:12, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

{Untitled}
Why do you squander the wiki by unimproving it? 3groscod 11:59, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Oh. 3groscod 23:03, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

I think there is a spam on the son of osiris page, the picture I added is not visible.3groscod 21:30, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for allowing the page I created, Trade Route, to remain on this wiki.3groscod 23:18, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

I have one thing to say: even though age of empires and age of mythology are differenent sets of games, they have alot in common, we should unify pages through the categories even if Trade cart (age of empires) or Ox caravan (age of mythology) do not come from the same game, they have the same basics.3groscod 23:16, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Gaia
Actually, Gaia was first then she gave birth to Oranos and married him. Then Gaia gave birth to Oceanus and Tethys, Cronos and Rhea. And with Cronos marring Rhea, Rhea Gave birth to Hades, Demeter, Poseidon, Hera, and Zeus. The Tians and the Gods are related.75.23.113.31 12:01, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Heads-Up
Just a heads-up, main page ads are being turned on for this wiki. Because of this, I've made a change to the main page in order to avoid a placement conflict between the content and the adspace. Without this change, the ad would display on top of the current content, blocking it from users. Obviously, you are welcome to make further adjustments as you see fit - this is just a "quick-fix" to avoid a visual conflict. Please feel free to contact me on my my talk page if you have any questions, comments, or issues. Cheers! http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o297/SCOTIMUS76/siggy3.png  (talk) 12:57, October 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * Not sure what you mean, there are no ads on that page to make any changes for.

Featured Article Debate 11/15/11
I put the Assyrians as a featured article since nobody opposed it for the last 4 months. If you object, please send me a message or create a new talk page. I also placed Roman Empires as a new candidate to be featured. Please voice your opinion!

Happy Black Friday!
Hey, Happy Black Friday & Late Thanksgiving! Hope you had a good one! Here are a few things that I would like to bring up...

Background Image
About the background image for the wiki, I have decided it would be easier if we stick to this background image, but if you can make it better by adding background images from Age of Empires 1 or 2, that would be great addition.

Promotion for LeeUnit92
I'm not a bureaucrat for this wiki, but there is one user in particular that I believe that deserves rollback rights. If you can, I would ask you to promote User:LeeUnit92 to rollback. I would promote him if I were a bureaucrat, but the ultimate decision rests upon you.

Thanks for reading!--Piano41095 02:16, November 26, 2011 (UTC)

Troll
Just giving you a head's up there's some idiotic troll running around making nonsensical articles about the American Civil War I suggest you ban them (Not giving an order sorry if it sounds like I am) LeeUnit92 04:04, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

There's another troll making a bunch of profane comments on the Persians page here I've been trying to do my best to get him to be quiet but it seems I've only fed the fire and made it stronger. I don't know what this Wiki's policy on people cussing others out in the comments is but I think he should be banned. LeeUnit92 21:27, December 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * Apologies for the late replay, I've been quite busy recently. He/she has been dealt with. !mmortal  talk  04:25, December 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately he/she seems to have come back under the username Infamousboy and is as profane and immature as ever. I'd rather not get involved this time so just giving you a heads up thanks. LeeUnit92 06:38, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Haha, the guys a fool, with Von Lettow assisting him in creating a new account or whatever, unfortunately he was/is unaware of the Admin tools I can utilise. !mmortal  talk  10:11, December 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Look, in future, if you encounter unacceptable user behavior, report it to any available admin immediately, thanks. !mmortal   talk  10:32, December 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks and I will. I definitely learned my lesson with all this nonsense. LeeUnit92 19:19, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

1850 Pages?
How did our wiki get 1850 pages that fast? I just logged in today and the last time I did, the wiki only had around 1817 pages. I have checked the Wiki Activity section and only a few pages are created. Could this be a glitch?

Hero Units
I just received Age of Empires II as a Christmas gift and the first thing I did was checking the Scenario Editor to fill out missing information for this wiki. Boy! Was I surprised! The Scenario Editor contains many more hero units that were never listed in this wiki. I was wondering if these heroes should be placed in separate pages or be merged to already existing articles such as the Monk Heroes I placed in one of the Monk section. Just here to hear your opinion (no pun intended).

Introduction
Hi Immortal, my name is Adnaan. I am a great fan of age of empires and I always wanted to help. Now that i see that you are encouraging people to help, I am a volunteer to help the wiki universe. So if I can help on anything, please let me know I read a lot of pages and I saw that the Abus Gun page missed a lot of things. I added a few thing but I didn't put much in case I would put the wiki universe doesn't like.

Just telling you that i love to document myself and that I can write a tons of page on anything, so if there is anything just tell me or send me a mail on ad_1454@yahoo.com

Byzantines
I've gotten into a bit of an edit war on the Byzantines page. An anon insists on writing information on how the in-game Byzantine language has mistakes in it but I don't think it should be on the page since this isn't a language guide and the information has nothing to do with the actual game. I don't want to keep on reverting the edits so is the information relevant enough to be kept or what? LeeUnit92 19:20, January 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, it looks like we'll have to reconsider our position on these sections since AoE games aren't entirely accurate and their inclusion may lead to the spread of misinformation. I'll discuss this with XCali and Mict at later time, my desktop has decided to die on me and resorting to a laggy laptop isn't ideal.


 * Cheers !mmortal   talk  08:09, January 20, 2012 (UTC)

Troll issue?
Hey, !mmortal, I see you have something of a troll problem some time ago, huh?

Let me, as a troll-hater myself, tell you something about how to deal with trolls.

Don't ever start a conversation with one. EVER.

Trolls thrive on the attention they attract to themselves and the animosity they generate.

If you suspect a troll is on your wikia, do not even bother to be reasonable with them.

Just block them right off the bat and do so for all time if you have to.

A friend of mine nearly had that kinda problem and I blocked said troll till the year 9999, I know it sounds mean, but trust me, Trolls only deserve to be ignored.


 * Nah, the problem wasn't relating to engaging in an argument with one. He wasn't a 'troll' either, just an immature idiot with the mentality of a twelve year-old. Problem is, he resorted to using a dynamic IP address changer. He's gone anyway, and the availability of Wiki Staff to intervene if he appears again is a deterrent to any further vandalism. Cheers !mmortal   talk  10:12, February 3, 2012 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Hey there! Just to give you a heads up, I have created my very own bot under username X~Bot95. I have made only 1 edit on my bot so the bot user page exists. If you have time, a bot flag would be appreciated. If you need any assistance regarding with my bot, feel free to send me a message. Thanks for reading!
 *   The piano guy    Lets play some music!     22:36,2/4/2012


 * Erm, you have to ask Wikia Staff to do that. The Music Wiki can do it because I asked Wikia Staff to allow bureaucrats to add bot accounts. If this wiki is big enough and deemed "trusted", bureaucrats will be able to add bots as well. --J&bull;t 01:37, February 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Will be done. Oh, and with regards to Hero Units which I've shamefully forgotten to respond :( only merge them if they do not contain a necessary amount of information or are not notable enough to warrant a separate article. Cheers !mmortal   talk  09:55, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Pages pending deletion
All of these pages need to be deleted, as well as Special:BrokenRedirects and Category:Candidates for deletion. There is no namespace named 'Age of Empires III' on this wiki. Also, is the Age of Mythology namespace in use, or pending deletion? If it is pending deletion I won't touch Age of Mythology pages moved into mainspace. –PatPeter 11:53, February 5, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for pointing that out. I would keep some of the namespace since the search engine would redirect it into an existing article. If we delete all that stuff in the namespace, our search engine for this wiki would no longer become efficient. However, I did find some that does require deletion. As of right night now, I would suggest keep these pages for a while since I have a bot that can take care of it. As for the candidates for deletion, I would suggest to merge them with an appropriate article, especially elite units.


 *   The piano guy    Lets play some music!     19:45,2/5/2012

Home Page (Minor Issue)
Hey there! As for the home page, I have made an attempt to fix this overlap a few months ago but didn't really work well as I expected. I'm not an expert at source coding so you will have to find someone else to fix this problem, which is not a really big deal anyway.

I will try to fix it again sometime this week (if I have time though). Also on a side note, did you remove the ad on the main page? Please answer as soon as possible since I need to see if the ad is still there before I change the home page. If there is no ad, that will make the home page redesign much easier. Thanks for reading & have a great day!
 *   The piano guy    Lets play some music!     17:58,2/6/2012


 * No, I haven't removed them. I think the ads are activated by Wikia, for revenue purposes, so there's nothing I can do about them. Cheers !mmortal   talk  07:28, February 7, 2012 (UTC)

Bot
Hello i recently received a bot flag on this wiki for my bot, it was somewhat unexpected but i don't mind. I have fixed all the double redirects i can, there are a few left as they are talk redirects. If there are any other tasks you need completed on the wiki let me know. I'll also stop by every now and then to fix any double redirects that may appear. Gracey91 (talk • contribs • count) 09:22, February 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks mate, much appreciated :) !mmortal   talk  06:40, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Unit pages
Hello !mmortal, I am leaving you this message to express my concern about the Unit's articles. They are highly inconsistent relatively to the articles' style, by example Two-Handed Swordsman possesses a special infobox with the upgrades, strengths and weaknesses while other pages such as the Militia have the upgrades expressed in a list.

So, I would ask for your permission to conduct a major reorganization in the unit's pages. This was my idea for the design, please tell me what you think:


 * Page title
 * Infobox
 * Short description of the unit
 * Unit's History (Appreciation text in the Strategy Guide)
 * Overview
 * Purpose (Utility/Use)
 * Strengths and Weaknesses
 * Upgrades (In the form of a list)
 * Attack - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's attack)
 * Range - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's range; ranged units only)
 * Targeting - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's accuracy; ranged units only)
 * Armor - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's defense)
 * Sight - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's line of sight)
 * Speed - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's speed)
 * Creation Speed - (Available upgrades to decrease the time needed to recruit the unit)
 * Resistance to Conversion - (Available upgrades to increase the unit's resistance to conversion)
 * Strategy

If you got confused (and I reckon that it is a little difficult to understand through this list), please tell me and I will apply the design to the Militia article so that you can completely see my idea. Kamiyl Jyter 11:46, February 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * This sounds like a great idea. As long as you know what you are doing, feel free to go right ahead. I would suggest using a sandbox before publishing it though.
 *   The piano guy    Lets play some music!     <span style="padding-right:2px; color:white; background-color:green; border-top-right-radius:1ex; border-bottom-right-radius:3ex;">21:04,2/21/2012


 * Excellent suggestion mate, I'm all for consistency. I do personally recommended placing the History section beneath the Strategy section since we're not really a suitable source for historical info and readers usually focus on gameplay aspects of an article. Cheers !mmortal   talk  06:40, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your permission, I will experiment the design in Sandbox and incorporate your suggestion. Kamiyl Jyter 11:17, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * ̣I applied the design to the Militia article. What do you think? Kamiyl Jyter 11:56, February 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now that's some great quality work! Like the way how you organize things into separate sub-headings and multiple sub-sub titles for easier reading. Looks like that means you've got a lot of work to do over the next few days! :)

Language Guides
!mmortal, I think we should get rid of the laguage guides or whatever on the civilizations page. It has nothing to do with the game and if we do keep it on there we should make a seperate page. I just wanted ask to see if it was okay to get rid of them.Von Lettow-Vorbeck 01:07, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * They're not guides, only words of reference for the language units speak. Unless edit wars erupt over apparent inaccuracies etc., we will not remove them.


 * BTW, your "friend" appears to have broken his promise on multiple occasions. I know his is changing your IP Address to evade blocks. One more time, and I WILL block you, no matter what consequences. Wiki Staff will be informed and he will have to deal with them, how hard is it to encourage him to stick to his promise?


 * Commenting on pages has been disabled due to his spamming 'efforts'.


 * I bear no ill attitude towards you Lettow, but persistent vandals are vandals, there are no favourable solutions for both sides in resolving this matter since he cannot regain editing privileges due to his actions. Does he even read the communication between you and I? Cheers !mmortal   talk  06:40, February 22, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alright, correct me if I am wrong, but when you wrote "friend" like that it gave me the impression that you think we are the same person, we are not. I honestly didnt think he was spamming or anything,he just saw that comment in the middle of are conversation and he just removed it.Von Lettow-Vorbeck 04:11, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

I know you're two different people. 'friend' does not equal "friend" (a quote). I was implying that his actions were not that of a friend who wouldn't want you to be blocked. And his done far more than what you're stating. See the block log for the last ten IP accounts (including their edits) I've blocked. I disabled the comment feature due to the garbage he spammed on some articles. !mmortal  talk  04:58, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Promotion
Apologies for the late reply. I'm normally very active here however, my activity has gone down for the past few months due to school & what not. Knowing that you are the only active bureaucrat here, I will be happy to obtain this promotion & hopefully help out the wiki a lot more in the future. Thank you for reading & have a great day!


 * Granted :) !mmortal   talk  01:32, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Blog Feed
I'm not sure why, but the old style blog feed seems to be broken at the moment. I've replaced yours with the new style - with a couple slight modifications - to get you by for now, I'm going to bring this issue up with my team in the morning to see if it's a known issue - or if it needs first-time documentation. Thanks for bringing it to my attention, and if you like the new one better, then... keep it! :)

Question
I have a question, is it okay to add history information from Age of Mythology history pages on any units, technology, gods, or buildings. Will this violate any wiki policies?

Jadeempire 20:40, April 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * It won't, but any info on a subject's historical background needs to be clearly labelled with a heading, only applied to units pages and restricted to one paragraph on the matter. It should serve as short info on the unit's historical background, including some text on weaponry (featured in the games), nothing more or less. Cheers !mmortal   talk  08:18, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Just a question..
Just a question, but should not every page include an apperences section stating what game/games whatever it is, are in? If not that, then at least a single sentence at the beginning of each article stating it? And yes I know if I check the categories it tells what game it is in, but I know from past experience, nobody, checks the categories. The Old World Relics 02:09, April 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Pages usually contain the titles of the games associated with the subject matter along the lines of: The Samurai is a heavy infantry unit featured in Age of Empires II. If absent from the article or its title, feel free to add any necessary text.


 * Appearances sections are unnecessary since the Wiki follows a policy of using gameplay contexts for articles, with the minor exception of articles on campaign characters, the lead introductory section should contain sufficient info regarding the relevant unit or technology's appearances. Some articles have also been split into two separate pages (e.g. Chinese (Age of Empires II) and Chinese (Age of Empires III)) for accessibility purposes. Thanks !mmortal   talk  08:18, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for the headsup, I am a newbie in this wiki, so I don't really know the policies that well. I do not know how to insert the images into the infobox section and how should I source the images from other sites, how do I ask the other sites to express permission due to copyright policy? Could you please show me how?Jadeempire 02:30, April 20, 2012 (UTC)Jadeempire


 * I'll give an example, remember to insert the correct 'Images' label on the left, it was were absent from some infoboxes:


 * Personally, I believe it would be more appropriate to take in-game screenshots, most sites contain watermarked or poor quality images. Cheers !mmortal   talk  23:32, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Amon - Disappointing
I didn't like how the Legend of Korra ended it's first season, Amon reminded me quite a bit of my Dragon Age 2 blood mage (before they nerfed them). Mictlantecuhtli (talk) 02:07, July 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hmmmm, you're absolutely right, Amon came off as a diminished and rather pathetic individual once his true identity had been exposed. Personally, remaining a genuinely mysterious and powerful non-bender would have sufficed. However, I can't help but notice that there were always clues present throughout the previous episodes, e.g. flashbacks, the subtle bending of opponents' movements that, in retrospect, made it so bloody obvious. The finale was pretty decent, and whilst the resolution appeared too "perfect" for some, I can sympathise with the fact that they had built up the entire story arc for one season prior to the ordering of new episodes, having constructed it in a plot-centric manner. Honestly, 12 episodes felt too constraining for both fans and writers alike.


 * They've also announced 26 additional episodes today, hopefully we'll have the opportunity to see Ba Sing Se and other sites from A:TLA, the Spirit World, greater background expansion on Republic City and further character development. Unlike others, I'm not even going to bother comparing LoK to A:TLA until I've seen all 52 LoK episodes.


 * Overall, the entire Book was satisfying enough, of course one could always find room for improvement, it's an 8.5/10 for me. How about you? !mmortal   talk  01:54, July 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * I enjoyed the first season, right up until the ending. I especially enjoyed the steampunk elements, and fire benders working as batteries. I'll keep watching, but I hope the story slows down a bit. I give them credit for being cautious, after the live action film sunk with fans of the cartoon they couldn't be sure the franchise still had life in it. The arena combat was cool, however it kinda felt like they were trying to recapture the feel of the first time fans saw the "Blind Bandit" fight in the first series.

I'll do a small spelling check now and then. See ya!

Main Page Updates
Hi DunBanner,
 * By now, you should have noticed that our main page has just undergone several tweaks, namely, new polls & introduction of new colors. I'm sure you are well aware that our that our Featured Article, Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, and Did You Know...? sections are outdated and needs new content after many years of neglect & what not. What I plan to do over the next few weeks or so is to update or replace these sections with more user friendly information that doesn't need consistent weekly or monthly updating. For example, we could replace these outdated sections with new portals designated for the expansions for the entire age of empires series. Let me know what you think.


 * Hi X~Cali, I'm on board with the changes. So far, I think AoM needs to be included with the main three titles on "Around the Wiki" section to improve visibility for it, perhaps placing a highlight logo+link after AoEIII to indicate its spin-off nature compared to the others. For each link in that section, I think it's probably best to have them link to a relevant portal, e.g. AoEII linking to a portal (such as "Age of Empires II:Portal") with simple summaries, images and further links. Similarly, that would apply to a civilizations, units and community portal. I think it would allow for better access to the content, especially AoEII HD for Steam and its expansions, on offer.
