I thought ES ceased to exist?
Also, off-topic: djnotnice, are you a Korean that likes his Chinese food cooked right?
Mandible's programmer thought it would be interesting to have his creation contemplate the meaning of life. Three days and 76 bodies later the automaton still lacked an answer, but had gained extensive knowledge of human physiology.

haha oh herro their. ya i liked my chinee foo cooked right cuz they not giving me the good rice
Just use a different name, slightly different look (I don't like the way the Town center looks anyway. It should look more like a castle/fortress.
As a town center thing, it's more a city hall, than a town center. The thing is so rarely the center of the town anyway. The game shoves it off to one side.
And ES, or any other can't really patent the Hoplite, it's an historical figure. Kinda like patenting the Abrams tank in video games or books. It isn't going it happen. It's not theirs. So just change the way it looks, and run with it.

Current scenarios working on: 104th SOAP, Plants vs. Zombies (paused), Sovothym RPG Scenario guarantee: I will NEVER include foul language in my games. AoM is a T rated game, for violence. Let's keep it that way.
