I've decided to search in-game files hoping I could find the formula to calculate damage (after the very heated Skill Analysis thread), but I've come up with something else. Firstly, there is image_flags_hd.pbg in WC4, which has all the country flags + a red scorpion on black background... what could this mean? .org/]  [/url]. If you don't mind it (nor ET), I also found proof the Goring was supposed to be in-game but was probably scrapped (there is tacticalmap.xml which assigns all generals I certain general head and some coordonates, however I couldn't fiind their pictures). |

I would say a flag with a red scorpion rather supports terrorist's theory... Aliens in WC3 and GoG2 had rather abstract symbols. Besides there is a description of some mysterious (obviously human) organization who took power in some regions, and all civilized people have to unite against this threat... |

Maybe for some reason Goring got censored(he's a war criminal and everything) |

I assume that too since you guys said in the last few months that laws in China got stricter and Goring was deeply politically involved (still we have Franco, but he can't be considered a war criminal)

Also I remembered that this game also features Antonescu, the notorious dictator of my country between 1940-1944 and the one who pleased the Germans for Romania's sake... yeah... regarding what stoic said, I also think rebels are more likely... just thought a bit deeper  |

One more thing... there was a film (actually two of them) "Red scorpion". In both parts there were rebels (in one - left-wing rebels, in another right-wing rebels). I'm not sure whether or not there is some connection... but you know, all is possible...

Plus, like I kept saying stratego saw the aliens in files. May be in a different shape though. Hopefully nerfed. |

Now they use the modern Japanese flag. Anyone who didn't pay attention in History may assume WW2 Japanese flag = Modern Japanese flag and jimp to conclusions  Then again, the Imperial Japanese flag is like the perversed NAZI Swastika. (Must differentiate the good swastika from bad ones) |

But on the other hand all scorpions look the same  |

Anyway I have enough to do even without rebels/terrorists/aliens in WC4 so far |
