[COLOR=Sienna]How to Popup a Menu for the Menu created by MenuEditor & populated at runtime, the Popup should be shown when the user right click the Menu.[/COLOR]
I need to show the PopuMenu for populated Menu, either its created by API as below or by MenuObject. The below
is the way i created the Menu through API based on the sample of ROB in this Forum.
The below is the code in the General Declaration Section in the Form.
I am using a Grid control, that is populated at runtime with AreaName, In that GridControl's MouseUp Event, IPHP Code:
Const MF_CHECKED = &H8&
Const MF_APPEND = &H100&
Const TPM_LEFTALIGN = &H0&
Const MF_DISABLED = &H2&
Const MF_GRAYED = &H1&
Const MF_SEPARATOR = &H800&
Const MF_STRING = &H0&
Private Type POINTAPI
X As Long
Y As Long
End Type
Private Declare Function CreatePopupMenu Lib "user32" () As Long
Private Declare Function TrackPopupMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal X As Long, ByVal Y As Long, ByVal nReserved As Long, ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal lprc As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function GetSystemMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hwnd As Long, ByVal bRevert As Long) As Long
Private Declare Function AppendMenu Lib "user32" Alias "AppendMenuA" (ByVal hMenu As Long, ByVal wFlags As Long, ByVal wIDNewItem As Long, ByVal lpNewItem As Any) As Long
Private Declare Function DestroyMenu Lib "user32" (ByVal hMenu As Long) As Long

Dim hMenu As Long
Private Type MSG
hwnd As Long
message As Long
wParam As Long
lParam As Long
time As Long
pt As POINTAPI
End Type
am loading the Equipment for the Cicked Area is populated and displayed in a Menu and shown to the user. By using
the below code. It works fine. All Equipments are added to the Menu created by the Menu Editor at runtime.
Just in the Above code I added the Equipment Names in the Menu, If the User Right Click anyPHP Code:
Private Sub JanfpSpr_MouseUp(Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
Dim CurSprVal As Variant
Dim DtVal As Variant
Dim oMenu As Menu
Dim rstSi As New ADODB.Recordset
Dim ShtType As String
Dim JanCritTyp As Variant
If Button = vbLeftButton Then
JanfpSpr.GetText 4, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, JanCritTyp
JanfpSpr.GetText 1, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, CurSprVal
JanfpSpr.GetText 3, JanfpSpr.ActiveRow, DtVal
ShtType = Mid(CurSprVal, Len(CurSprVal) - 4, Len(CurSprVal))
CurSprVal = Mid(CurSprVal, 1, Len(CurSprVal) - 9)
If JanCritTyp = "Area" Then
SQL = "select * from EquipMaster where ArName='" & Mid(CurSprVal, 7, Len(CurSprVal)) & "' And Nextti Between #" & DtVal & "# And #" & DtVal & "# And ShtTp='" & ShtType & "' order by ENo"
If rstSi.State = 1 Then rstSi.Close
rstSi.Open SQL, cnnNew, adOpenStatic, adLockReadOnly, adCmdText
Call UnloadMenuItems
mnuLstSubItms(0).Caption = Mid(CurSprVal, 7, Len(CurSprVal))
mnuLstSubItms(0).Enabled = False
While Not rstSi.EOF
Load mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.Count + 1)
mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.UBound).Caption = rstSi.Fields("ENo")
mnuLstSubItms(mnuLstSubItms.UBound).Enabled = True
mnuLstEqp.Enabled = True
Call PopupMenu(mnuInfo)
ElseIf JanCritTyp = "Equipment" Then
Call UnloadMenuItems
mnuLstEqp.Enabled = False
Call PopupMenu(mnuInfo)
End If
End If
' End If
End Sub
1 of the Equipment from the Menu then i need to show a Popup Menu with Update,Report etc.
for this Popup from the Equipment I added the Below Code in Form_Load() and mnuLstSubItms_Click()
What happens for this code is, The Popup menu is Show, but as soon as this Popup Menu is shownPHP Code:
Private Sub Form_Load()
hMenu = CreatePopupMenu()
AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Update"
AppendMenu hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&
AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Delete"
AppendMenu hMenu, MF_SEPARATOR, ByVal 0&, ByVal 0&
AppendMenu hMenu, MF_STRING, ByVal 0&, "&Report"
End Sub
Private Sub mnuLstSubItms_Click(Index As Integer)
Dim pt As POINTAPI
GetCursorPos pt
TrackPopupMenu hMenu, TPM_LEFTALIGN, pt.X, pt.Y, 0, Me.hwnd, ByVal 0&
End Sub
the existing PopuMenu disappears, i need both to be visible as we can see in Windows Menus
How to find which MouseButton is Clicked in the mnuLstSubItms_Click Event.
How to and where to write the Events for the PopupMenu created through API (for Menu Update,Report)
How to protect without the Menu disappears, when the user right click the Equipment.
As (Moderator) Rob said i posted here this issue in the New Thread. Hope any VBForums member
might have faced the same scenario. Kindly check this and reply me.
The picture of the Menus on runtime and design time are also attached here for your reference.

Oil companies can't supply all the gasoline we demand
by Michael D. Tusiani
Higher prices show that our insatiable demand for gasoline is catching up with our willingness to produce it. The
price of gasoline rose over the winter, but that was just the beginning of an inevitable upward trend. Summer will
give us an even better feel for things to come. Complaints by motorists and accusations by politicians will not avoid
the unavoidable: Most Americans simply cannot have all the gasoline they want much longer.
We already burn more of this precious but cheap commodity than US refineries can make. For the past two years, imports climbing toward 1 mm bpd have kept supply in step with consumption. But within three years, we'll be extracting as much from foreign suppliers as they can spare. At that point, demand cannot continue to grow at the current pace. It cannot exceed supply.
When demand hits the ceiling, some of us, or all of us, will use less. Government may impose a rationing scheme
(which seems unlikely) or price will allocate supply. Those who can afford it will get as much as they want. Others
will not.
For some reason, America's politicians and special-interest groups never mention the limits of oil companies' capacity for making gasoline. The domestic refining industry has not grown significantly for years, and it will probably shrink in years to come. Plant emissions rules, community hostility and a series of money-wasting betrayals by regulators discourage expansion.
So does the burden of paying for equipment to make fuels that comply with clean air rules for a marketplace so
competitive that investments do not earn any money. Worse yet, these conditions encourage closure of marginal
facilities. Many consumers say they won't cry for the big, rich oil companies. If so, they'll cry for themselves in
the gasoline line -- or leave the keys in their SUVs, hoping they'll be stolen.
America burned 8.93 mm bpd of gasoline in 2003, 8.14 mm barrels of it produced by domestic refineries. If US refineries operated at peak gasoline output despite seasonal swings in motor fuel sales, they might sustain 8.7 to 8.8 mm bpd of production, assuming their equipment could take the stress. In years to come, regulations, among them the measures that force ethanol into the motor fuel supply, will reduce the amount of gasoline refiners can make.
Meanwhile, if nothing changes our living patterns and taste for large, inefficient vehicles, demand will continue to
rise. We buy more thirsty SUVs than thrifty sedans. Over the past five years, that preference has driven gasoline
consumption upward an average of 1.6 % per year. Such a pace will push demand to 9.2 mm bpd in 2005 and 9.4 mm in
Most foreign refineries are unable to make gasoline that is suitable for sale in the United States. They simply do not have the equipment to turn out a product that meets our specifications. The latest elevation of our standards -- which will quickly reduce the sulphur content of our motor fuel to practically zero -- severely restricts the amount of gasoline we can import from such traditional suppliers as Venezuela.
Asia, the only place on Earth where the refining industry still expands rapidly, does not install the expensive
deep-desulphurisation equipment required to meet our standards. Today only one overseas refining system, Western
Europe's, can increase its output of free-free gasoline. But Europe, like the United States, will not significantly
increase its capacity to produce gas.
European oil companies have neither the capability nor the incentive to expand their gasoline-making hardware. In three years or less, if US gasoline demand grows as expected, they will produce to their maximum. Then our real trouble will begin.
Let me stress an essential point. We must not pretend that a supply increase can save us. Even if public opposition
and economic impediments to refinery expansion should disappear today, the oil industry could not install new
equipment fast enough to prevent a shortage two or three years from now.
No company can order the major process hardware to make gasoline -- pipe stills, catalytic crackers, alkylation units, cokers and reformers -- off the shelf. It takes three years to build and install those big, costly, complex units. Add another year for design, engineering, bidding and funding. In the real world, securing operating permits would entail anywhere from a year to as long as it takes for one to lose hope.
Meanwhile, a few companies are taking risks that will soon pay handsome rewards. They are systematically acquiring
any fairly priced or underpriced US refining assets that come on the market, of which there have been a number in
recent years. Almost every time there is a merger, the Federal Trade Commission mandates the disposal of a refinery
or two. When a wayward natural gas company has to raise cash to remain solvent, it sells refineries. A few companies
with vision are always eager to buy.
Why do the consumer protection lobby and the environmental pressure groups say nothing about this real and urgent problem? They must see a gasoline shortage coming. Do they want it to occur? One of their favourite legislative goals, higher mileage standards for automobiles and light trucks, could soften the collision between gasoline demand and supply.
In one way or another, consumption is going to stop growing. The only thing we can control is how hard we hit the
supply barrier. We can strike it head-on or at an angle. An early warning could allow people of moderate means to buy
efficient vehicles instead of gas guzzlers in time to make a difference in their mobility and personal
Whether they have to pay $ 3 per gallon or carry their ration books to the filling station, they'll thank whoever gave them timely advice.
Our leaders, who have debated energy policy for years without acknowledging any concern for a potential gasoline shortage, must now demonstrate courage and vision. They must admit that the nation's gasoline problem has no practical supply-side answer and lead us toward reducing consumption.

Natural News
by Mike Adams
Last week, an undercover TSA inspector managed to quite easily sneak a mock explosive device through airport security and onto an airplane. He simply stuffed the fake bomb down his pants and went right through the screenings, including a pat-down. Out of several covert TSA agents attempting to sneak mock explosive devices onto the airplane, only one was pulled aside, and she was carrying a child's doll with wires hanging out the back, making it ridiculously obvious. (SOURCE)
"This episode once again demonstrates how Newark Airport is the Ground Zero of TSA failures," said a source published in the NY Post, a newspaper that's been breaking huge news on the TSA (and actually doing a far better job reporting on this than the NYT).
But the real news isn't the fact that, time and time again, government officials can easily sneak explosives onto airplanes. The real story is what happened a few days later, when a TSA employee who works at Newark went public with allegations that the TSA is nothing more than pure theater and that TSA employees have no ability or motivation to catch any terrorists whatsoever.
"A LOT of what we do is make-believe."
That's how the confession begins. It's a confession of a TSA agent, published once again in the New York Post. And it continues:
We're not any big deterrent. It's all for show. Most TSA screeners know their job is a complete joke. Their goal is to use this as a stepping stone to another government agency. We work in a culture where common sense has no place. All but a very few TSA personnel know they're employed by a bottom-of-the-barrel agency.
Although TSA agents can't seem to catch bombs or terrorists, TSA supervisors are apparently really good at catching TSA officers chewing gum:
Supervisors play absolutely no role in day-to-day functions except to tell you not to chew gum. Gum chewing is a huge issue with management.
TSA tests are rigged and sneaking devices onto airplanes "happens all the time"
Those of us who pay attention to reality know that the TSA is a complete joke when it comes to stopping terrorism. The entire purpose of the TSA is not to stop terrorists but to indoctrinate the American population with "prisoner training" — to get people used to having their children undressed and touched by strangers while government agents stick their hands down your pants and literally go inside your body wearing the same pair of gloves they used on their previous victim. (Hygiene be damned!)
TSA is an affront to human dignity. Its very existence is wholly unconstitutional, unethical and completely ineffective from a security point of view. When asked about the recent failure of TSA to catch a mock explosive device carried onto the airplane by a federal investigator, this TSA confessor said, "That's not even news to anyone who works there. It happens all the time. The failure rate is pretty high, especially with federal investigators, and the pat-down itself is ridiculous."
He then went on to explain how all the Newark airport internal TSA security tests are a hoax:
When there are internal tests, conducted by the Newark training department, it's easy to cheat because they use our co-workers. You could be working with someone all morning, and then they're gone. Word gets around the checkpoint. Someone will come over to you and say, "Hey, it's Joe. He's got a blue duffel bag."
TSA was also recently caught handing out security badges to workers with criminal records. As reported in CNS News:
[The TSA issued] security badges to aviation employees resulted in at least 11 individuals with criminal backgrounds obtaining badges that allowed access to secure areas of U.S. airports.
[The DHS Office of Inspector General] concluded that there still may be individuals with criminal records who are working in secured areas of airports.
The new class of incompetent, lazy, pathetic government workers
TSA is the perfect example of the problem with big government. According to this TSA confession, TSA workers are "bottom of the barrel" employees but are compensated almost like royalty:
[They are] only there for the paycheck and generous benefits. For every 40 hours you work, you receive four hours of vacation and four hours of sick time. These are the employees who could never keep a job in the private sector. I wouldn't trust them to walk my dog.
And then there are the power-hungry zealots, he says:
A small number of screeners are delusional zealots who believe they're keeping America safe by taking your snow globe, your 2-inch pocket knife, your 4-ounce bottle of shampoo and performing invasive pat-downs on your kids.
TSA officers also spend a lot of time visually dressing-down female passengers, he says:
There is also a lot of ogling of female passengers by the male screeners. So, ladies, cover up when you get to the airport. These guys are checking you out constantly.
See the hilarious "TSA Help Wanted" video that turns out to be amazingly accurate in its depiction of TSA officers:

Skyrim's Hearthfire Gets Cosy On PC
Bethesda send word that the latest Skyrim DLC, Hearthfire, arrives on PC today, after its pointless period of exclusivity on whichever console it was. It costs $5. The DLC will enable Skyrimfolk to build their own home – rather than simply buying an existing one – and then furnish it with "an armory, alchemy laboratory, stable, garden" and, as I understand it, adopted children. There's some more craft stuff in there, too, with workbenches for the fashioning of things from wood and clay. Despite this healthy-sounding shopping list I understand that's not particularly in-depth, so don't expect The Sims with cat people.
The trailer lurks below.

On the SitePoint PHP blog today Victor Berchet introduces HACK, the "replacement" for PHP inside the HHVM (HipHop Virtual Machine) from Facebook's development group. This is part two in the HACK/HHVM series.
HACK is an evolution of the PHP language designed to be safer, to enable better performance and to improve developer efficiency. Note that both HACK and PHP are equally supported by the HHVM. Despite the fact that HACK is in use at Facebook on all the production servers, only little info has leaked for now. In a nutshell, HACK is Facebook's PHP6 – it proposes to fix most of what's wrong with PHP today, while adding some new features like static typing along the way.
He starts with a look at typing and the static typing HACK uses instead of the dynamic typing of the normal PHP language. He mentions the "gradual typing" functionality, strict mode and the use of annotations. He also talks about XHP, the PHP extension that allows XML fragments to be translated into valid PHP (example included). He finishes off the post looking at a few other topics including asynchronous code execution, FastCGI support and the integrated debugger.

On 19-20 May, 2008, NASA HQ organized a "Town Hall Meeting" to present ideas for the 5-year plan of the Heliophysics Division. The meeting included poster presentations and was held at the Holiday Inn Motel in College Park, Maryland (see Newsletter 38 vol XV of the SPA section of AGU, 4 May 2008).
The posters included a large one on "Profile", by Douglas E. Rowland and David P. Stern. It can be downloaded (12.1 Mb) from http://www.phy6.org/Roadmap2008/jpg.
At the poster a short summary of the mission was handed out (as were reprints of the JAS articles and the Eos 1996 paper, also available with these files), and (148 Kb) a "Quad chart" was available concisely describing the mission.

Dinner Tonight: Lentil and Bacon Soup Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I thought I had picked this recipe out specifically for the lentils, an ingredient I really wanted to learn more about. But who was I kidding? The real star in this show is the bacon, and there is a lot of it in here. Between the bits that stew in the pot and the crispy strips sprinkled on at the end its a bacon lovers dream. Everything else in the recipe is just there trying to suck up a little of the bacon essence.
This dead simple simple recipe comes from a chef not exactly known for that cooking style. Charlie Trotter is a big deal here in Chicago, and this recipe from his Charlie Trotter Cooks at Home seems miles away from his multi-course feasts at his eponymous restaurant. But it certainly works for me. And anyone who likes bacon should enjoy this.
- 1/2 pound bacon, roughly chopped
- 1/2 cup yellow onions, diced
- 1/2 cup carrots, diced
- 1/2 cup green lentils
- 1 quart chicken stock
- 1/4 cup scallions, thinly sliced
- salt and pepper
Add about three-quarters of the bacon to a large pot. Cook over medium heat until the fat has rendered and the bacon has slightly crisped up. Dump in the onions and carrots and cook until the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Drain any excess fat. Then add the lentils and half of the stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook for 40 minutes, or until the lentils are tender. Pour in the rest of the stock, season with salt and pepper to taste, and increase the heat to medium. Cook for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook the rest of the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Remove pieces and drain on a paper towel.
Pour some soup into a bowl and top with some sliced scallions and crispy bacon.

Story highlights
- Stephen Breyer, 74, fell off his bike near the Korean War Veterans Memorial
- He underwent "reverse shoulder replacement" surgery, the Supreme Court says
- Breyer is expected to be released from the hospital early next week
Stephen Breyer is known as one of the most active and engaging justices on the Supreme Court.
He's also been known to take a painful spill, every now and then.
One such fall -- from the bicycle he was riding Friday afternoon near the Korean War Veterans Memorial in Washington -- landed the associate justice in an ambulance, and eventually at MedStar Georgetown University Hospital, the Supreme Court announced in a press release.
It is the third publicly known major bike crash for Breyer in the last two decades.
At the hospital, the 74-year-old was diagnosed with a proximal humerus fracture -- the humerus being the upper bone of the arm. He underwent reverse shoulder replacement surgery on Saturday morning.
Unlike in a healthy shoulder, where the humerus ends in a ball shape and fits into the shoulder blade to form a shoulder, in reverse shoulder replacement surgery the anatomy is reversed. In other words, a new metal "ball" is attached to the shoulder blade, or scapula, and a plastic cup is put at the upper end of the humerus bone.
Patients typically leave the hospital after this procedure -- first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2003 -- in two or three days, according to the American Academy of Ortophaedic Surgeons. The Supreme Court said Breyer is expected to head home early next week.
It's not the first time that he's tumbled off his bike and ended up in a hospital.
In 1993, he had a nasty accident when a car stuck him in Harvard Square while he was on his two-wheeler. He suffered a punctured lung and broken ribs.
Then, over Memorial Day weekend in 2011, Breyer broke his right collarbone after falling off his two-wheeler in Cambridge, Massachusetts, where he has a second home.
He's had bad luck in other ways as well.
An intruder armed with a machete robbed Breyer, two guests and his wife -- renowned pediatric psychologist Dr. Joanna Breyer -- while they were vacationing on the Caribbean island of Nevis in February 2012.
Three months later, his Washington home was burglarized.

Vienna in 1900 was the most vibrant city in Europe, humming with artistic and intellectual excitement and a genius for enjoying life. A tenth of the population were Jews. A generation earlier they had been granted full civil rights by the Emperor, Franz Josef. Consequently, hundreds of thousands had fled from the Pale and the pogroms in the East and many found sanctuary in the crowded tenements of the old Jewish quarter, Leopoldstadt.
It was not to last. Half a century later, this family, like millions of others, has re-discovered what it means to be Jewish in the first half of the 20th century.
LEOPOLDSTADT is a passionate drama of love, family and endurance. It is Stoppard's most humane and heart-breaking play.

Hunting tradition drives gun ownership in rural Canaan
FALLS VILLAGE >> A tradition of hunting feeds rural Canaan's status as the town with the highest per capita number of gun permits in Connecticut.
With a population of just 1,234, the second smallest municipality in the state, Canaan, more commonly referred to as Falls Village, has 167 pistol permits, accounting for about 13.5 percent of the population.
Thomas Poole, president of the Northwest Connecticut Rod and Gun Club, said the high rate of gun ownership in the area is a direct result of long-lived hunting and sportsmanship traditions. "Most of the fellas here hunt, run into target practice. They're just into shooting," Poole said. "For years, people have been hunting and fishing."
The Northwest Connecticut Rod and Gun Club, founded in 1946, has 250 members from Canaan, Cornwall, Sharon, Norfolk and Salisbury; three quarters of the members are residents of Canaan.
According to its website, the club is "dedicated to the enjoyment and the preservation of fishing, hunting and the shooting sports so that the traditions of the outdoorsman can be passed down from generation to generation."
Teaching young people to preserve and respect the hunting tradition the Northwest Corner offers is another significant goal for the club. "Everything we do is abiding by Connecticut laws," Poole said. "Eye protection is a must and no minors are shooting by themselves, they're with their parents. Everything is all safety conscious."
Tom Grayson, resident of Falls Village and owner of several rifles and pistols, said the availability of the Rod and Gun Club in the local area and the rural nature of the town are likely why many residents have pistol permits and own guns.
"It's a rural area and a lot of people hunt," said Grayson. "When it's hunting season, I always see the trucks on the side of the road with the men wearing orange."
Before moving to Falls Village five years ago, Grayson lived in Torrington. He owned a shotgun and a .22 rifle but eventually sold them because he couldn't find a place to use them. Now with two pistols and three rifles, he goes to the Rod and Gun Club as a member on a monthly basis to shoot alone or with friends.
"I own these weapons for the sport and self-defense," he said.
Grayson said that even though "living here (in Canaan) is complete safety," once the Chesire home invasion occurred in 2007, he felt he had a responsibility to protect his family since he didn't have any "equalizers" at home.
"You think you live some place that is completely safe until you see those home invasions happen and then you realize that it could happen at any time," he said. "It's just a good feeling to know that I have them."
"I feel safer because I know if someone did come into the house that Tom would have no problem using one if he had to for our protection," his wife, Beth Grayson, said.
There are 31 gun clubs and associations similar to the Northwest Connecticut Rod and Gun Club in Connecticut.
About 170,000 people in Connecticut hold pistol permits, and the number of individuals seeking them has increased in recent years, especially since the mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown Dec. 14.
After Canaan, the top five communities with the highest percentage of the population having pistol permits are Union, Harwinton, Hartland and Hampton, according to the Department of Emergency Services and Public Protection.

I have to apologise to everyone twice. First for being a few days overdue with the last ludi of '57, and secondly for not writing detailed reports about the quarters. My scribe was to go to the circus, but instead he took the money and went to a brothel -- not the kind of stuff I pay the man to do. At any rate, the scribe has been fired, but it appears that I am without quarter reports, devoid of inspiration and overwhelmed with end-of-the-year work as I am.
Group I
1. Trophimus
2. Morgareth
3. Caesar
4. Phaethoon
Group II
1. Callidus
2. Maximus
3. Pericolusus
4. Rufus Pavor
Group III
1. Damnator
2. Indutiomarus

Group IV

2. Hannibal
3. PD Robur
4. P Victorinus
Group I: Morgareth, Callidus, Indutiomarus, Myrtilos
Three usual suspects are fielded against a lucky Blue. Let's see how they fare. Although Damnator cannot be beaten anymore for the first spot this year, actio Albata can. All they have to do is make sure Damnator doesn't survive the semis. But in this semi, it's Gold against Red and Blue. Morgareth and Callidus are the first to race forward. Callidus has been invogorated by his much-anticipated victory in the last races, and is easily letting Morgareth behind him. Indutiomarus and Myrtilos are in hot pursuit, and Morgareth now has to turn his attention to them. Indutiomarus uses his hulking chariot and composition to prevent Myrtilos from passing the Golden duo. Although frustrated, he does not give up.
Everyone is struck by surprise as Callidus suddenly hits the meta. He took a turn too freely, and now must suffer the consequences of his speed. The charioteer himself is unharmed, but the Russata fans now know that any chance of becoming 2757's team lies in Maximus's hands. By the crash, Indutiomarus and Morgareth have to avoid the tilted chariot and scrape the walls. Temporarily Myrtilos turns this to his advantage, but not enough to keep the two Golden charioteers from winning this semi: Morgareth is first, Indutiomarus is second.
1. Morgareth
2. Indutiomarus
3. Myrtilos
4. Callidus slammed into the meta
Group II: Trophimus, Damnator, Maximus, Hannibal
Two Greens versus one Red and one White. Two of them are violent racers, and have proven their lethal potential more than once. Maximus is the first one to gain the upper hand after a confusing starting round, with much dust swirling up and a lot of bravado on either side. Hannibal briefly skirmishes with the spina, and is soon left behind by the others. Damnator and Trophimus are going neck-on-neck for a second spot.
Damnator cracks his whip, but the whip almost hits its own master. He curses and tries to pass Trophimus the regular way again. Meanwhile Hannibal knows that he's lost this battle, unless one of the others experiences and unfortunate crash. But, unfortunately for Hannibal, Maximus's Centaurus is keeping a steady pace and appears to be succeeding where Callidus failed this time. Damnator and Trophimus don't get anywhere near him during the entire race. Trophimus is then forced to fall back after he, too, briefly touches the meta and spina in a wild chase of Damnator. The evil White seizes this opportunity, and easily becomes second. All hope is not lost for Russata to win '57, but this means Damnator must at least become third, and Maximus first, in the finals!

... Rachel Lee, 19; Diana Tamayo, 19; Courtney Ames, 18; and Alexis Neiers, 18 ... were arrested last week on suspicion of burglary in several of the cases....So... apparently children of privilege. How could this happen?
Most of the group were classmates at Indian Hills High School, a continuation campus in Agoura Hills, set atop a leafy incline in an upscale neighborhood next to a traditional high school. BMWs and Audis were parked in the student lot Monday, and some of the nearby roads mark off horse trails for equestrians.
Blair Berk, an attorney who represents some of the victims, blamed "paparazzi shots and magazine coverage" for "increasingly prying into the private homes, schools and personal possessions of stars."Damned paparazzi, enabling us to see things we might want. Once you see what you want and where it is, it's just a short leap to stealing it.
"There are only so many shot of a star's back gate before someone, be it a stalker or burglar, goes through it," Berk said.
At least one of the accused had her own aspirations for television stardom. Neiers was set to appear with her family in a reality-TV pilot about aspiring actresses on the cable network E!, and she was arrested on the set of the show, police said....Reality is really biting us in the ass this month, isn't it? Balloon Boy, and now this. Is everybody in L.A. working on a reality show? Too bad criminal activity — so far, at least — hasn't become acceptable subject matter for reality TV shows. But the line between crime and reality shows is getting blurred. There seems to be some serious overlap in the kinds of people that are draw to the 2 things.
A young woman who identified herself as Neiers' sister said at the family's Thousand Oaks home Monday that the accusations are untrue. "My family is in so much debt," she said. "If this TV show falls through, you don't know how bad this is going to be."How many families out there are hanging by the thread of a possible TV show? All it takes is one kid in the family to screw up... or can they edit out that kid — kind of like the way Aimee Osbourne was kept out of "The Osbournes" — except that Aimee was the sensible person who simply preferred not to be a reality show kid.

Providing the green behind the gold, the Gold Coast Hinterland is full of unspoilt Gondwana Rainforests and charming mountain villages, filled with antiques, artisan galleries and decadent caramel fudge worth the drive.
Spend a weekend in Mount Tamborine and experience the hinterland café culture or go on a wine tasting tour through the region. There's also a local distillery, if you're not a wine enthusiast.
Get back to nature at a retreat in Lamington National Park and taste local wines from vineyards like Cedar Creek Estate and Canungra Valley Vineyard. Or, throw on an apron and learn to cook using local produce at Worendo Cottages.
Lamington National Park is divided into two sections; Green Mountains Section and the Binna Burra Section. Both have walking trails and hikes through lush rainforests and ancient trees, waterfalls and creeks. There is a lot of wildlife in the Lamington National Park, so please leave your pets at home if you're visiting.
There are toilets, picnic areas, parking and a kiosk in the park grounds.
Conquer the Coomera Circuit in the Binna Burra Section and see the magnificent Coomera and Yarrabilgong Falls cascade into a 160m gorge. This journey is a 7-hour circuit across 17.4km. If you're looking for a shorter walk, try the Binna Burra Section's 1.2km Rainforest Circuit (30-mins) or the Bellbird Lookout track (1-hr).
Retreat to the Green Mountains Section and camp near Morans Falls. This spot is perfect for an overnight camp trip or for hikers keen to stay longer and trek some of the longer walks in the hinterland. For an amazing sunset, walk to the Morans Falls or Python Rock lookouts.
Discover the waterfall circuit in the Green Mountains Section to find Elabana, Chalahn and Box Log Falls or explore the rainforest canopy with a Tree Top Walk.
Lamington National Park is a two-hour drive south of Brisbane or a one-hour drive from the Gold Coast. You can drive through Beechmont to access the Binna Burra Section via Binna Burra Road, or drive through Canungra and Sarabah to find the Green Mountains Section along Lamington National Park Road.
Springbrook National Park covers a whopping 6,725 hectares and is divided into four eco-quadrants; Springbrook Plateau, Mount Cougal, Natural Bridge and Numinbah. Discover moss-laden rainforests, cool cascading waterfalls and lots of wildlife. Pets are not permitted in the Springbrook National Park area.
The main attraction in Springbrook National Park is the Natural Bridge which is beautiful during the day or at night. It's a natural phenomenon formed by the force of a waterfall. The pressure has created a natural moss-covered rock formation where flowing water falls through the centre. You can easily access the Natural Bridge from the Nerang-Murwillumbah Road car park.
Visit the Natural Bridge at night on a guided tour and you'll be able to see the resident colony of protected glow-worms and microbats. And, on summer nights, you'll also see luminous fungi and fireflies.
Cave Creek in the Natural Bridge section is a restricted access area. Swimming in the creek, including within the cave, and access to the creek bank is prohibited.
Trek the Purling Brook Falls Circuit in the Springbrook Plateau section to see the Warringa Pool and the Purling Brook Falls. You'll be treated to colourful hakeas and wildflowers along the way. This is a 2-hour walk and it's best to do the circuit in a clockwise direction.
There are 11 sites in The Settlement campgrounds and they are easy to find. It gets a little cold at night, so pack a jumper and a beanie.

The need for luxury
Everyone has the need to experience the feeling of a luxury trip with high-class amenities. Luxury is not determined just by the cost, but by one's disposition to bask in the care and attention of people who know the art of hospitality.
Greece is privileged to be one of the nations that offer luxurious, glittering holidays. Greek islands are synonymous with cosmopolitanism, while large cities, like Athens and Thessaloniki, attract people with high expectations from all over the globe. The prestige that grew from the 1960s onwards, with famous names in Greek society among world celebrities, like Aristotle Onassis, Stavros Niarchos, Maria Callas, Melina Merkouri, and many others, catapulted Greece into one of the top destinations for luxury tourism.
The facilities guarantee demanding travellers an unforgettable stay. Five-star hotels located throughout the country, private villas offering privacy and comfort, the opportunity to enjoy getting away from daily routine on a yacht sailing the Greek seas, combined with culinary traditions with an exceptionally high standard of execution, the chance to purchase brand-name and high quality products, and the incomparable Greek landscape create the best setting for one to enjoy absolute luxury.
But that is not all: Beauty treatments, rejuvenating body therapies and beautifully prepared delicate food are just some of the attractions that Greece holds is store for its exclusive visitors.
Glittering destinations
Mykonos, Crete, Santorini, Rhodes, Corfu and Kefalonia, Chalkidiki and the Peloponnese are now some of the best-loved destinations in the world. Over the last few years many stars from the cinema and showbiz have been seen to prefer both the Greek islands and the mainland for their holidays. The unbeatable beauty of Greek nature and the art of hospitality, inherent in Greek tradition, produce an irresistible idea to which more and more famous people yield. Choosing a villa in an enchanting location ensures a stay that is nothing less than unique.
Busy people, who either come to Athens as visitors, or live and work there, can get away for a few days to one of the nearby islands. Hydra, Spetses and Kea are ideal solutions; high-class incredibly beautiful destinations, which can be reached in a very short time.
Many Greek islands have heliports, to serve those visitors with air transport; but even if they do not have their own, there are numerous air transport companies that can provide aircraft and experienced pilots so as to minimize the time the visitor needs to reach his desired destination.
Cosmopolitan cities
Athens and Thessaloniki are now two of the most popular city destinations in the world. With their amazing nightlife and deluxe hotels, they are now seen, and indeed are, outstanding European destinations. Major cultural events, like the Athens and Epidaurus Festival and the Thessaloniki International Fair, attract people from the business and artistic world, who annually renew their appointment in Greece. The ability to travel to Greece by private plane or boat makes the country even more attractive to busy people.

This is a test post based on being underwhelmed by blogger. My guess is more people will find and comment on this post in wordpress vs. the exact same thing on our main blog on blogger.
This week I attended the BlogHerDC conference. It was awesome and some of the takeaways can be found in our insider's blog. At the conference, I met Heather Chapman who writes the blog: "The Mother Tongue."
Heather: Do you have kids?
Me: Yeah. Two. 5 and 2.
Heather: Mine are 4 and 1. Any antics there I should know about?
Me: We didn't leave my son alone with my daughter for the first year of her life.
Heather: That's probably wise.
Me: A common saying around our house is "No clothes-lining!"
Heather: [Laughing]
Me: Maxwell will run up with his arm out, careen into my daughter, and flip her right over backwards.
Heather: People need to know this. You should write about it on your blog.
Me: But, aren't there enough Moms writing about crazy kid stuff?
Heather: I think it makes moms feel good to know that other people have crazy lives.
Me: Really?
Heather: Yeah.
So – inspired by Heather: The totally NOT women's leadership oriented blog post about a typical crazy day in my life. I am not really sure what people can learn from this, but, here goes:
To follow along you will need:
1. A lofty goal
2. A box of Teddy Grahams
4. A wrinkled piece of clothing
5. A plant (or other life form)
6. A good sense of humor
1. A lofty goal. Here is how the day of October 13, 2008 started: I prepared to go to the BlogHerDC conference to promote the launch of the Hot Mommas Project case study competition. Here was my lofty goal on this particular day: Get out the door and go to this conference. In my robe, after being woken up by various little people, I make the error of just "real quick" logging in and seeing if the Hot Mommas Project sign-in process works.
Frequently asked question: Will I need an alarm clock for this step?
No. You will not, I repeat NOT, be needing an alarm clock. Little people will wake you up at something beginning with a "5".
2. A box of Teddy Grahams. Checking the Hot Mommas Project site"real quick" turned into – hmmm – about 1.5 hours. I utilize a box of Teddy Grahams to subdue one of the two loud, feisty little people that live in my house during this time.
FAQs: Is there a certain preferred flavor of Teddy Graham? Is there a certain time of day the Teddy Grahams should be served?
Unquestionably, Chocolate Teddy Grahams are preferred. Bonus points are issued if the Teddy Grahams are served at a completely inappropriate time. Example: Here is Lilah eating Teddy Grahams…for breakfast…on the floor of my bedroom.
3. SPANX. Despite the extreme delays I face due to the "real quick" Hot Mommas Project login test, I spend a good 12 minutes searching for my SPANX upon which I have developed a clinically-diagnosable dependence.
Frequently Asked Question: Could I search aimlessly for a DIFFERENT item (other than SPANX?).
Certainly. Car keys, blackberry, or another item are acceptable replacements.
Pictured here is a 2 week-old pile of clean laundry in which the SPANX were ultimately uncovered.
4. A wrinkled piece of clothing. As I was on "Mission Critical" finding my SPANX, I made an unfortunate discovery balled up in the laundry bin: The shirt I intended to wear to the conference. It was embarrassingly wrinkled. Ironing was clearly out of the question, since I had taken a sacred vow of no-ironing.
Frequently asked question: Is it possible to wear a different NON-WRINKLED piece of clothing thus adhering to the sacred vow of no-ironing?
I will not even dignify that question with a response. Clearly, you are at the wrong place my friend. For non-wrinkled clothes wearers and prepared, organized moms please click here or here. Students click here.
Pictured here is said wrinkled shirt which is under attack by my daughter Lilah "the picker" Frey.
5. A plant (or other life form). In preparing the Hot Mommas Project case competition launch I had been neglecting myself for sometime. For some, personal care is a regular, steady routine. For me, it was a distant dream. Today was no exception!
Here are the ferns that have died by my hand. Sometimes at night, when it's very quiet, I think I can hear their little fern screams.
This is, I figure, the worst case scenario if my personal grooming continues in a downward descent.
6. A good sense of humor. As I mentioned in our insider's blog this past week, saying things in a Napoleon Dynamite voice is a good and practical technique I've personally found incredibly helpful for getting through each and every day.

Frequently asked question: Could I imitate a DIFFERENT voice as a helpful technique for getting through my day? Acceptable replacements include:

Official Group
4 December 2014 - Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osborne announced in yesterday's Autumn Financial Statement that Greenwich, Milton Keynes and Coventry (working together as one project) and Bristol will be the locations for three successful consortia that have been selected by InnovateUK for its Introducing driverless cars to UK roads competition.
The three consortia will involve almost forty participating companies and organisations in the trials of autonomous vehicles in four cities, due to get underway early next year.
The aim of the trials is to establish the UK as the global hub for the research, development and integration of driverless vehicles and associated technologies.
Innovate UK had secured £10 million of funding for testing innovative driverless cars in the real world.
An additional £9 million has been provided by government to increase the prize fund for driverless car testbeds, enabling trials in Bristol, London, Milton Keynes and Coventry from next year.
The trials in four cities will will last between 18 and 36 months from January 2015.
Introducing driverless cars to UK roads
Testing driverless cars in a real-world environment will help lead to greater levels of understanding of these vehicles. It will also allow the public to accept how the vehicles will fit into everyday life.
The funding comes through our competition, Introducing driverless cars to UK roads.
Nick Jones, lead technologist for the low carbon vehicle innovation platform at Innovate UK, said "Cars that drive themselves would represent the most significant transformation in road travel since the introduction of the internal combustion engine and at Innovate UK, we want to help the UK to lead the world in making that happen."
"There are so many new and exciting technologies that can come together to make driverless cars a reality, but it's vital that trials are carried out safely, that the public have confidence in that technology and we learn everything we can through the trials so that legal, regulation and protection issues don't get in the way in the future."
GATEway project - Royal Borough of Greenwich
TRL, the Wokingham-based Transport Research Laboratory that has been involved in testing and developing automated vehicles for more than fifty years, is to lead the GATEway project, which stands for the Greenwich Automated Transport Environment.
The £8 million project will involve three separate trials of different types of zero emission automated vehicles within the Royal Borough of Greenwich, world famous for the 'prime meridian'.
As well as fitting its historic association with navigation, the project also aligns with the London Borough's 'Smart City' agenda, for using technology to address the needs of its residents. I also stated that growth of the digital industry "is a significant strand of its regeneration plans".
The consortia intends to demonstrate automated passenger shuttle transport systems and autonomous valet parking for adapted cars. Objective and subjective feedback usage will be captured to understand the extent to which these systems are used, trusted and accepted.
TRL's DigiCar driving simulator will be used in parallel to investigate driver behaviour in automated vehicles using a photorealistic 3D model of the Greenwich peninsula. Risk, liability and insurance issues will addressed, while pedestrian interaction with automated vehicles will be modelled and adaptation to traffic lights will also be explored.
TRLis to lead the GATEway project with the Royal Borough of Greenwich as the testing location and 'Smart City' partner.
Three large multinational organisations are also participating; RSA (an insurer operating in 28 countries), Shell (the global group of energy and petrochemicals companies) and Telefónica (the Spanish telecommunications company that owns the UK mobile operator and, local venue sponsor, O2).
Research capability is augmented by the Royal College of Art, which is leading stakeholder engagement activities for the project, plus the University of Greenwich and Imperial College London will provide specialists in pedestrian modelling and cybersecurity respectively.
The automated vehicle technology to be tested will be provided by Phoenix Wings, a company that recently relocated to Greenwich and has a 35% holding of the French start-up INDUCT SAS that developed the 'Navia' 100% driverless shuttle that was demonstrated in Las Vegas earlier this year.
Public responses to the trial will be mapped using social media tools by Shoredich-based Crowd-sourcing experts Commonplace, will be using whilst additional vehicle adaptation and robotics expertise will be provided by Shrewsbury based GOBOTiX.
The project will also be supported by an advisory group chaired by Lord Borwick of Hawkshead, with representatives from General Motors, ATOS Worldline, the AA, the Highways Agency and the RAC Foundation.
UK Autodrive - Coventry and Milton Keynes
UK Autodrive, an Arup led consortium involving two local authorities, won support for a programme of feasibility studies and practical demonstrations in Coventry and Milton Keynes.
Arup said the funding provided by Innovate UK will be matched by the 12 consortium members to create a £19.2m three year project.
On-road testing will include real-world evaluation of passenger cars with increasing levels of autonomy, as well as the development and evaluation of lightweight fully autonomous self-driving pods designed for pedestrianised spaces.
The partners in the UK Autodrive consortium are Arup, Milton Keynes Council, Coventry Council, Jaguar Land Rover, Ford Motor Company, Tata Motors European Technical Centre, RDM Group, MIRA, Oxbotica, AXA, law firm Wragge Lawrence Graham & Co., the Transport Systems Catapult, the University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, and the Open University.
AXA's input will involve monitoring and evaluating the emerging risks, which will allow the Government to make necessary changes to existing legislation and provide a sound insurance template to facilitate these advancements. AXA will form part of an advisory panel that examines the regulatory implications as the UK Autodrive project progresses, and will also oversee risk assessment throughout the VENTURER project in Bristol (below).
Steve Yianni, chief executive of the Transport Systems Catapult said, "UK Autodrive will build on the success of the LUTZ Pathfinder programme, using the design and performance information it generates, to create a city-scale demonstrator."
Tim Armitage, UK Autodrive Project Director, Arup, said, "The UK Autodrive consortium brings together world-class expertise that will help the UK position itself as a leader in the development and adoption of autonomous driving technologies."
"As well as developing and testing the in-car, car-to-car and car-to-infrastructure technologies that will be required to drive cars autonomously on our roads in the future, the project will also place great emphasis on the role and perceptions of drivers, pedestrians and other road users."
"The Low-Speed Autonomous Transport System (L-SATS) will provide the first commercial scale demonstration of a solution for last-mile urban mobility which will have global significance."
"Our plan with the practical demonstration phases is to start testing with single vehicles on closed roads, and to build up to a point where all road users, as well as legislators, the police and insurance companies, are confident about how driverless pods and fully and partially autonomous cars can operate safely on UK roads."
The VENTURER consortium - Bristol
A simulator from Williams Advanced Engineering
The VENTURER consortium has secured funding from Innovate UK to test driverless cars in the Bristol region.
VENTURER is made up of organisations in the South West which includes Atkins, Bristol City Council, South Gloucestershire Council, AXA, Williams Advanced Engineering, Fusion Processing, Centre for Transport and Society, University of the West of England (UWE Bristol), University of Bristol and Bristol Robotics Laboratory, a collaboration between the University of Bristol and UWE Bristol.
Lee Woodcock, technology director for Atkins' Highways & Transportation business, is the VENTURER project lead.
Mayor of Bristol, George Ferguson said, "The novelty of Bristol's approach is our focus on public-private-citizen partnerships, championing experimental solutions through the deployment of information and communications technology (ICT) and digital technologies in a people friendly manner."
"Bristol City Council and South Gloucestershire Council have a long-standing commitment to sustainability and we place green issues at the heart of our vision for the city. As we embark on our year as European Green Capital 2015, we hope to seize even more opportunities to bring new investment, businesses and visitors to the region."
AXA will be responsible for overseeing risk assessment throughout the VENTURER project.
Professor Graham Parkhurst, Director, Centre for Transport and Society at UWE said: "The possibility of driverless cars running in city centres presents some important challenges for how we manage the interactions of people and vehicles. Pedestrians will still want the freedom to cross the road where it suits them, but driverless cars will need to be able to make progress safely if they are to be effective. Driverless cars also have a large potential to change both our travel patterns, and what we do while we travel. Will travellers be able to read a book in urban traffic, or will they feel too travelsick? More people could travel by car if they don't need a licence themselves or someone to drive them. This could open up opportunities to people but might also mean more car traffic. On the other hand, cars driven automatically are expected to be more energy efficient than when driven by the typical human, and people might be more willing to share if nobody is taking the responsibility for the driving. So a key challenge is to understand how far driverless cars will be a good or bad development in environmental terms."
The University of Bristol's Communications Systems & Networks (CSN) group will develop wireless links that enable driverless vehicles to communicate with smart city infrastructure. Vehicles will also exchange sensory data via direct car-2-car wireless communication links. This will allow the sharing of hazard warnings and new "look ahead" functionality.
Bristol Robotics Laboratory, a collaboration between the University and UWE Bristol, will provide system integration. BRL will customise the vehicle to make it suitable for urban transportation and equip the cars with sensing and video processing capabilities.
Fast-tracked competition
Knowledge Transfer Network successfully helped promote an information and networking event for the fast-tracked Introducing driverless cars to UK roads competition on the 30 July, as well as a webinar briefing event on the 12 September 2014.
The Pitches and presentations are available to download, plus a webinar recording of the information and networking event is also available to review.

Player Of The Year 2019: Communities Choice
2019's POTY Community choice was a 3 way back and forth fight. There were five candidates (Pavle, Nedris, AIois, Garde and Croat) who all had their own accomplishments and merit. Garde, who was winning for a majority of the voting period was sprinted past by AIois and Nedris in the last 2 weeks of voting. In the end, Nedris narrowly won by 4 votes thanks to support from the scenario community. Nedris who is now a Moderator created the Rise Of Italia map which several scenarios were created from. He created a list of bugs for our now functioning HTML editor. He also did work for the supporter team such as help chat support and giving opinions from the scenario community side of the game. Good job and congratulations Nedris!
Player Of The Year 2019: Moderator's Choice
For the POTY Moderator choice, there was only one option. It wasn't even a vote, just a single suggestion. We unanimously agreed that Alois deserved it. As the leader of the Supporter team, AIois was the go-to with anything supporter related. I could put all the things he did in 2019 here but the list would be longer than the rest of the article, seriously. Congratulations AIois, you are the G.O.A.T. of supporters and a true leader!
Player Of The Year 2019: Admin's Choice
This year Dave is introducing an Admin's Choice award. For 2019 the winner is... hdrakon. hdrakon has been an exemplary member of the Supporter's team, answering many help chat questions, hosting SP/PC drop games, tournaments, reporting probably the most bugs of anyone last year, and helping check over 400 maps so far in our map repair project. Thank you hdrakon for your dedication to the game, and congratulations!
Year in Review: 2019
2019 was a productive year for atWar; it was the first year with Dave as our new owner, Supporters actually became a thing, development updates rolled out, we added on new Admins and Moderators, drama outbreaks, and more.

- atWar Under Attack!
अवतरण:Starting August 11 - our host got ddosed. There was nothing we can do about it since it was the host being attacked directly. After 1.5 days with no updates from them and the ddos still going on, I decided to switch to a new host. I've been working on this project for the last day or two, and it's still in progress...
As of today I've still not received any update from our OLD host, but the connection has improved enough that I was able to get the game up again on the OLD server. That's where the game is running for the moment.
Quoted from Dave
- New Server Up and Running!
- ATNs Revival
ATN was announced to be revived, bringing popular community members into its team.
Check out the full post here.
September 2019
- AtWar: This Month On The Supporters...
- AW Press #21
October 2019
- This Month On The Suppoers #2
December 2019
- New Ranks!
Though a rather debated update between the community, Dave released entirely new rank images as well with new ranks.
- 2019 Community Meeting
The Public was invited to AW Administrations last big meeting of the year, where a lot was discussed in-game. Here is some of what was discussed:
- New Ranking System
- New CW Guidelines
- Proposal of the revamp of the CW/Elo system
- Opinions about Admin, Mod, Supporter teams
- Game mechanics
- Questions on the game
- Map Editor
- Strategies
- Trophies
- SP Multiplier
- And more!
So, what does 2020 have in-store for us?
Currently, AW Administration is trying it's best to plan out 2020 and get as much done as possible, and as best as possible. By the looks of it, 2020 will be another great year for AW just because this is happening right now:
- What happened in 2019, and more.
- atWar's Social Media is actively posting.
- Developmental Updates have already been released.
- Events such as PC/SP drops are hosted daily.
- Tournaments are on-going.
- Maps are actually being released.
- The Map Editor is being worked on.
- Dave is active.
- Development is on-going
- Both the Supporter and Moderator teams are ever-changing, working 24/7 to keep AW running. Both of these teams are very under-appreciated in AW and keep working even if it looks bad for atWar.
Recent Updates
So far in 2020, atWar has had these updates/changes:
- Content Update 2020 #1: Blitzkrieg Buff + More!
अवतरण:For quite a long time now Blitzkrieg has remained a beloved and popular Strategy used by many, whether it be in competitive team games, duels, World 50ks, Scenarios, RP- You name it. Much like Imperialist in this regard, Blitzkrieg gives players a blanket buff for all units in the form of mightier range capabilities. However in recent years, Blitzkrieg has become outpaced by many other strategies and lacks the kind of defence capabilities to survive later on in most games. Much thought, discussion, and time was put into remedying this issue and planning ahead to ensure Blitzkrieg remains a staple to most, but catches up with the competition. To do so, we've increased the Range buff from +3 Range to +4 Range.
Quoted from Garde
Read the full post here.
- Content Update 2020 #2: New Presets + More!
अवतरण:I'm pleased to announce on behalf of the AtWar Implementer team the introduction of three new Presets to the Default Map: Central Asia, Indian, and Atlantic!
I'm also pleased to announce that the White colour is now available to all as well!
Quoted from Garde
To read more on the new Presets, read the full post here.
- New Moderators and Supporters
So far in 2020, atWar has added on SEVEN new team members, these being:
● Kaska (Moderator)
● E.J.R (Moderator)
● Nedris (Moderator)
● Echoo (Supporter)
● Estus (Supporter)
● Froyer (Supporter)
● Same (Supporter)
Origins: A Map by Roma Invicta
Visuals, functionality, gameplay. Those three elements stand out in Origins, a competitive map made by Roma Invicta.
Terrain and countries
Based at the beginning of the Great War around 1914, the map features borders and countries known to this day, and some others that ceased to exist in the last century, such as many African colonies and Asian kingdoms.
The map, even though it's fully playable, is intended to include the entire world. Right now you have Europe, Africa, Middle East, 1/2 Asia and 1/2 Oceania.
Since it is pretty similar to the standard World Map in terms of geography, movement and expansions can be widely explored with tactics well known in the regular competitive presets. However, given the existence of exclusive countries in the timeline proposed by the map, new countries and capitals change the scope of possible expansion operations.
The background is absolutely gorgeous, done by Roma Invicta itself using Photoshop to work on the default AtWar's World Map mixed with NASA's world image. By doing that, he not only preserved the proportions and ranges of what we are used to playing, but gave a whole new look: colorful and beautiful.
The existence of presets is a smart choice, considering that not everyone likes playing games that last for hours. Also, having the mere ability to choose is a plus point on any kind of map. The presets are Europe, Europe Plus, Mediterranean, Africa.
✔ Aesthetics
✔ Historical accuracy
✔ Variety of presets
✔ Balance
✖ Few naval units
✖ No buildings
World Map Update: Great Lakes Ports
A long discussion that started back in 2014 finally got to an end; the cities of Chicago and Toronto, both located in North America, are now ports and can produce naval units. Back then, the Great Lakes region was underused, since the lakes were nothing but a natural barrier that couldn't be explored geographically.
Since those bodies of water are all closed lakes (without access to oceans), naval units can't leave North America. For a long time, this was the excuse for the lack of ports in those two cities, however, in the classic World Map, cities around the Caspian Sea are all ports, and naval units built there don't have access to oceans, but have always been available for recruitment. Therefore, there was no reason to maintain this limitation, which was nonetheless inconsistent.
Right now you can build any ships in Chicago or Toronto and use the Great Lakes to conduct naval operations. New tactics can be experienced now that your movimentation through Canada and the United States can be boosted by naval transports, giving a little more range to attack/defend nearby cities.
A Special Thank You
We would like to thank the following people:
For his game-changing work:
- Developing new strategies
- Developing New presets
- Balancing
- Updating the official map(s)
- Working with Clovis on Map Editor bugs, and more
- Work on the Supporters
- Work on ATN
- Much, much more, especially developmental-wise.
Without Garde, the game would not be where it is today. In fact, without Garde, many of the updates that did come out, would not have come out when they did. Without Garde, the Supporters would also not be where they are either; he was crucial with opinions, helping lead certain jobs, and was a team player when it came to meetings.
For his work on the Map Editor, the Official atWar Discord, and attending meetings where his opinion was also very crucial. Without Helly, Clovis probably wouldn't have been able to get as much done as he did this year.
For his help on the Supporters team, either it is helping with Moderator only tasks that couldn't be completed, video recording, attending meetings, and more; Sid was essential to atWar and still is.
For his help as one of the leaders of the Supporter Team. Without Sascha, I (AIois), would not have been able to get the amount of work I did this year done. He is a team player, a good one at that.
Madame Asylan
For her work in changing the Supporter team and creating the Official atWar Discord. Without Madame Asylan, many of the things atWar has set-up externally, including Social Media, wouldn't be where they are today. Before she left the team, she was one of the team leaders. Without her help, we would not have been able to get the start the Supporters did at the beginning of 2019, it was because of her work at the start that ultimately allowed the team to flourish.
and YOU for playing the game. Without your activity, all of this would mean nothing. Thank YOU.
Want to get Involved?
