    ...I donated 5k to fund the Empires development?
    I'd totally do it if I won a lottery or something.

    That's enough to pay for about 2 hours every working day for a year - for one person. If we're talking salary here.

    But then again, sometimes a little money can go a really long way for a project that has none...and you might find your return being quite large :)

    I wonder if Krenzo would work fulltime on Empires if someone actually paid him for it? I'll do it if I win the lottery or catch a leprechaun.

    I bet 5k would be enough to get the scout removed.

    Seriously if I won the lottery I would pay for:

    1) Source license for empires(maby not read #4)
    2) IF krenzo would mind getting paid I would pay him to work on this mod including back pay for all the years he worked on it.
    3) Somone to give Empty and Chris a !!Super Atomic Wedgie!!(the one where your undies are ripped up to your head)
    4) Hire at least 2 full time employees in each area of game design for this game
    5) Profit??

    U might have a problem with 1)

    Ain't a source license still around 500.000 $$? :eek:

    EDIT: It's rumored to be about 200.000 $ only, so quiet cheap.

    But Valve keeps the real pricing under a non-disclosure agreement.

    Whatever that means.

    If you won that much money, you could find a better engine.

    Only 2 full time employees?
    With enough money you should get Valve and Blizzard to make Empires from scratch.
    Alone these names will guarantee millions of players for Empires.

    If I won the lottery I'd pay the devs to take out soft collisions.
