[exatreide]

stupid qustion but if i select more then 1 mongose do they becoome mongese?

[quoudam72]

1 mongoose is worth 2 in the bush.......

[sarduakar_187]

Hmm... Interesting. I really don't have an answer for that. What I want to know is why the say the mongoose can fire while its moving but when I try it, they stop to fire and get themselves killed.

[exatreide]

well you cant tell him to fire while movig but if you tell him to move he will fire on his own.

[peseverance]

They can fire on the move (they have a target)

and Mongoose works for singular and plural

1 Mongoose 2 Mongoose

[Acriku]

Yup mongoose is in the singular and plural.

[Acriku]

Dude I'm a mentat! Beware of the red lips! Beware of the red lips!

[exatreide]

thats great you just need 146 more to be a emperor.

[ordos45]

Mongoose is the correct grammatical term I guess from reading the posts. But if u say Mongese people would guess as to what it is.

[peseverance]

Wow I'm soon to be crowned Emporer of the Fox Fives

not like these guys ranking system have emporers ;D

[bob_fox]

You Americans (well, most of you are Americans) just don't know, do you? Plural of goose is geese. Plural of mongoose is mongooses (I know, it doesn't sound as good). I got this from the Oxford dictionary. I don't know what your Webster's dictionary says on the subject, and I don't care. We're discussing English (remember it?) after all.

[peseverance]

it says Mongooses?

hhmmmmm

needs to be checked

[Acriku]

Yes but it would matter if this was a different meaning than the animal. And also, any non-americans think plural of money is moneys? Just want to know.:)

[bob_fox]

Who says moneys? The people who say moneys better watch out. Anyway, isn't the unit named after the animal? If not, what is it named after? The manual doesn't say what the plural of mongoose is in the game, so I think we'll stick to the dictionary rule on the animal (unless the Webster's dictionary says something different but I don't think it does).

(Man, I feel quite stupid talking about plurals, but I just had to.)

[Acriku]

My history teacher from 8th grade was debating against his WHOLE class that the plural form of money is moneys. It was pretty funny. But anyway, I'm a duke! Weeeee. But what characteristic of the unit is like of the animal, other than being "Comparatively fast"? And who in WW comes up with these strange unit names? Minotaurus? LoL that's a goodie.

[Gobalopper]

I think it might come from Dune II, they had a rank in it called Desert Mongoose...

[Acriku]

Hey Gob, you're almost 500. Aren't you thrilled? LoL maybe not, but I think it's pretty coo.

[peseverance]

hhhhhmmmmmmmm

I preffer names in HW:C ;D hehehe but thats just me...

you know they just sit around and try to connect what the unit looks like to a name?

A big fat ass thing like Mino looks like a Dino type thing :)

[Gobalopper]

If I cared I would have made my post count 999999etc a long time ago. :)

[Acriku]

LoL well that's a strange, yet funny reply Fives. And Gob, about the new board, when (if) you update the post #'s for members, what if they keep posting here and on the new one? Will you keep updating or just nothing at all? This confused me ol' noggin.

[Gobalopper]

The new board will have everything deleted before I move things over, except maybe user accounts, and the post counts will be set to the same levels of this board. Right now the new board is just basically a test board.

[Acriku]

Ah! That makes sense! Thanks man, my head was hurting for a minute there. :)

[quoudam72]

What if you registered for your new account on the test board will you have to re-register when the move is complete?

[Gobalopper]

Nope you might as well register on the new/test board now as I probably won't be deleting the member accounts, just the messages that have been posted there so far.

Well..... you can use the mongooses to hit those korbras and circle around them..... needs skill though.....
