    Everyone would love their job to be protected so he could earn a lot, but that would also mean consumers pay a lot for the products. I'm for the consumers here. Plus for hundreds of millions of workers from third world countries that globalization pulled out of poverty. We seem to forget how beneficial the 90s and 2000s were for e.g. India, China, Thailand, Malesia, etc.

    Even though some companies and sectors may be in loss, free trade is in summary beneficial also for more advanced economies - the key factor is this: What Is Comparative Advantage?

    As per famous quote attributed to Frederic Bastiat said, “When goods don't cross borders, soldiers will". Protectionism means countries are more eager to go to wars and less eager to trade. Globalisation means global wars are not profittable for main players. The trend of protectionism being first steps to wars was true in the 30s and unfortunately now we see lots of analogies with West-Russia and West-China tensions.
    Hello macielos, a pleasure, I introduce myself, I am Tirion Vadin, I am writing to ask you for the permission for the translation to spanish of the campaign exodus: the violet gate, this in order that those people who only speak Spanish, can play it, entertain themselves and above all enjoy such a wonderful story, clearly, respecting your copyright and those of your partner, my only intention is to translate it and provide those who will transmit in different media such as youtube, twich, among others, a campaign in their native language, I remain attentive to your response, thank you, again a pleasure, happy new year!!!!
    Radical is a dangerous word. Capitalism by itself for the sake of wealth gaining and allegedly generating, is wasteful.

    There is no perfect or singular political-economical system. It's a mix of strategies, a bit of everything but under supervision and in balance.

    On that I can agree, although there are certain solutions historically more proven then others. "The truth is not in the middle, the truth is where it is" ;).

    Anyway, I think we exhausted the topic, so thank you for a constructive discussion, a one I didn't have a lot recently while spending too much time on discussion groups on Facebook :p.

    ...which is his worst sin, that often makes him nervous... But he keeps doing so, against anykind of common sense. :]. You're building a civilization of reason on Jiluun, damn it! You won't build it irl :p .
    Not particularly sure how those heaps where the bridges are put on are made but if they are not editor cliffs and just raised terrain (same level) for the strategy gameplay part it's important as there will be visibility from down to up and there won't be any miss change for those attacking from below.

    Yeah, it's just raised terrain. I know we're missing the visibility/miss chance features of classic blizz cliffs, but we decided to go on with this tradeoff as Blizz cliffs do not fit our terrain and they simply look ugly.

    I guess some workarounds could be made, hiding the cliffs with rock/whatever doodads and either also hiding ramp margins or adding doodad/destructible ramps (not sure on the smoothness of unit movement for this last one, though).

    Well, I partially did that in chapter 02 (which I originally made from extended Blizz map using Blizz cliffs and then "upgraded" to hide them under rock doodads), but it creates tones of problems and limitations and in the later maps we decided it's not worth the effort.
    Hello sir.

    Curious: Which software you used for AI-generated voice lines in the campaign? I tinkered with the concept myself earlier this year for plenty of hours, but the free services I tried all produced quite poor results, particularly with the intonation.

    For example, I tried to make the AI say "Spirits! Lend us your aid one last time!" and sometimes it would whisper the "Spirits!" part, or put an intonation indicating a question at the end of the sentence, and stupid stuff like that. So it took like 30 minutes to create a 5 seconds long voice with the right intonation.

    Thank you for the info.
    I checked this service back then and the free version was somewhat lackluster and the free selection of voices is also sparse.
    I might look into the paid version. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

    I would give you a plus like for mentioning Friedman, if I could, alas, there are no solutions, only tradeoffs - paraphrasing Thomas Sowell.

    Nice to meet a pro-liberty fella ;).

    Okay, sorry. I usually do that, just forgot this time. Too much time in social media, I guess.
    Hey Macielos! I love your campiagn! But I am a bit sad because some people think that it is lame and boring and stuff like that. Well no, your campaign is really great, and I think that it deserves a Director's Cut award. Well, good luck my friend, see you around!

    It's been a while since you contacted me, but your waiting paid off - there will soon be a Director's Cut, even more, a total reimagine of Exodus. Stay tuned!
    i was hoping that u r going to do a sequel of it, this is sad
    Macielos
    Macielos
    There will be a sequel (or rather remaster) soon. Stay tuned!
    Hi I'm just wondering what model you used for the woman that appears in the third map of your campaign. and where i can get that model becouse i need it in my campaign.
    So did you change the model for that Alliance commander in the Exodus?
    If so well great!
