How do you get to a revolution, or even imperial age in a regular skirmish on Age of Empires three?
Im stuck at Industrial age i think, its not letting me upgrade anymore. Please help
How do you get to a revolution, or even imperial age in a regular skirmish on Age of Empires three?
you need to get 10000 gold and 18000 food and then go to the town centerafter you build atleast 2buildings in castle age and then click to go to the next age.
Reply:You should be able to get to age V in AOE III. It's strictly based on resources. Earlier versions of AOE required you to build certain buildings each age, but AOE III is entirely based on having sufficient resources.
Resources required (assuming you aren't starting in Nomad mode) are as follows (may vary slightly be civilization and improvements):
-800 food
-1200 food and 1000 gold
-2000 food and 1200 gold
-4000 food and 4000 gold (I believe)
In a player-vs-computer game, I rarely get to age V. I usually wipe the computer during age IV or am getting overrun so badly that I resign.

What is the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas like?
What are the good points and bad points to this hotel and casino? We are staying there in 2 weeks.
What is the Imperial Palace in Las Vegas like?
The good points is that it is cheap there is monorail service in the back, The rooms are ok for the price. It is right in the middle of all the action. There is club right in front that doesn't make you wait an hour to get in.
The bad points. It's one of the older casinos on the strip, the pool is not that good. The casino is small and smokey. The elevators are extremely slow (but there are some elevators in the back of the hotel that no one uses much which are much quicker)
You don't spend to much time in your room, I didnt' do to much gambling at the casino while I was there, just wasn't much fun for me and my friends. Good thing about it being in the middle of the strip you are close to a lot other casinos to gamble at and the outdoor attractions are not that far.
Reply:I personally like the Imperial Palace - I am kinda bummed that they are taking it down. It's a cheap room, but it is in a prime location. And the cost is not bad - Granted, I would not go there for some romantic getaway or anything - Imperial Palace is a great hotel for Girls or Guys trips to vegas where you are only going to need the room to sleep, shower and get ready - Plus they have balconies on each room and you get some crazy girls gone wild parties on the balconies! I love it!
Reply:We didn't stay there but next door at the Flamingo. The Imperial is perfectly sited in the heart of the strip and offers one of the best " budget" shows in Legends in Concert which is well worth seeing. The casino isn't great but if you go to Vegas to gamble i dare say you will want to go to loads of casinos not just the one in your own hotel. All in all its a cheap room in an ideal spot but i would question why anyone would want to go to Las Vegas for more than 3 or 4 days unless they are a professional gambler. If you havn't booked it already take a good look at escaping Las Vegas for at least a week and head off to the real USA and visit the Grand Canyon and somewhere like Flagstaff or Sedona in Arizona. Have a good trip.
Reply:Stayed there 3 times, it is very well situated on the strip great for the Monorail. Sure it is one of the older ones, BUT who goes to Las Vegas to sit in the room, it really is only a place to sleep. I found it clean and that is important. Have fun

How many imperial stormstroopers and officers were killed when the Death Star blew up in 1977?
I am researching the Battle of Yavin for my history exam. I am curious what was the death toll in the 1977 battle. How many were on the Death Star when it was blown up? Thank you
How many imperial stormstroopers and officers were killed when the Death Star blew up in 1977?
First of all the Death Star was not blown up by the Rebel Alliance but by the Bush Administration which had placed explosives within the star. It was done to give the empire a reason to invade the Dagobah system and secure the dilithium crystals. It was all a great conspiracy.

Reply:History exam? for a science fiction story? you're kidding, right?
Reply:It takes more than a million people to operate the Death Star and there is room for over a billion people on board. There are always at least 1,161,293 Imperials stationed on the Death Star at any given time. The standard complement of personnel includes:
265,675 Station crew
52,276 gunners
607,360 troops
25,984 Stormtroopers
42,782 ship support staff

1,400 AT-ATs
1,400 AT-STs
1,860 drop ships.
a variable number of support, recon and assault droids
Tours on the Death Star last at least 180 days and usually much longer. Personnel are often in deep space without leave for months at a time, and since the location of the Death Star is always classified, contact with family or friends is strictly prohibited. This can make life on the Death Star very difficult. To ease the burden of this duty the station is outfitted with many civilian amenities. The general sector of each zone in the Death Star has a park, shopping centers and recreation areas that include restaurants, a cinema and fitness centers.

Reply:Not only were stormtroopers and officers killed in the explosion, but a number of civilian contractors were still present on the Death Star completing the construction program.

Oh, and the battle didn't happen in 1977. It happened a Long Time Ago in a Galaxy Far Away.
Reply:43,987 were killed
Reply:The real question should be how many were killed when the second Death Star was destroyed. The first time it was destroyed it was totally operational meaning it was fully staffed with stormtroopers and officers. However, when the second one was destroyed it was still under construction. How many independent contractors were aboard? There is no way that the Imperial Army could have had enough resources to finish the Death Star. How many roofers and plumbers were aboard. That is the real question.

What were the standard equipment/weapons issued to soldiers in the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII?
Japans arsenal in ww11 was out of date with very few submachine guns to go around, the main armament was the arisaka 7.7 mm or 6.5 mm, it was a heavy slow firing bolt action rifle with a 5 mag capacity, it did not compare well with the automatic garands, tompsons and bars carried by the usa, nor did there tanks which were lightly armoured, poorly armed and badly suspended, easy prey for the shermans of the day, japans anti tank weapons consisted of satchel charges or a horrifying weapon which consisted of a length of bamboo, a charge on the end which the soldier would carry with the stick , place onto the side of a tank and he pulled a string which detonated the charge and disabled the tank and killed the soldier, haha, crazy but true, to list the rest of the weapons used would take pages but the common weapon carried was the arisaka. I would not wanted to fight in there army, they didnt have a chance!
And snowy is wrong about fighter superiority, they were off the start of the war but british hurricanes, us p47 and 51s replace the out of date style they used at the outtake quickly and began knocking down jap zeroes at an astonishing rate!
What were the standard equipment/weapons issued to soldiers in the Japanese Imperial Army during WWII?
Cruelty, determination, blind obedience, physical fitness................oh yes and a 40 year old rifle, a copy of the bren gun, some tanks made out of baked bean cans, and sharp swords.
Their Navy had some of the largest ships afloat, and the airforce had a superb air superiority fighter called the Navy Type Zero (usually called the Zero).
Reply:Depends on the unit. the Standard rifle was a copy of the German mauser. A bolt action rifle that was highly accurate.
Reply:Not too many of those guys left to ask, so your guess is as good as mine. Probably a bowl and a pound of rice, a rifle and ammo.
Reply:i think its the ARISAKA rifle, with a sword bayonet, of course the katana sword too

What is the role of the imperial family in Japan?
I need help, please!
I'm doing an essay for social.
What is the role of the imperial family in Japan?
Their role is mostly of a traditional and ceremonial one. In Japanese culture, tradition and ceremony are very important, although no real governing or ruling power legally exists. However, one should not discount the leverage of an imperial family. Cultural biases and pressure can be powerful tools if wielded craftily. For an in-depth study, read anything about MacArthur and the terms of surrender concerning Japan. Good luck with your essay.
Reply:Prior to WWII, the Emperor was considered a god. That is one of the reasons that the Japanese were so averse to surrender: fear that their god would be an enemy's prisoner.
Now he is a link to ancient fuedal Japan, when Tokyo was called Edo, and warlords and samurai
were the nobility of Japan. The Emperor still remains sequestered away from common people.

Reply:the grandparents watch the house, the parents work, the kids do anything that the adults tell them to do
Reply:As far as I know, the imperial family in Japan has nothing more than a figurehead status. They lost any real governing power after WWII. They are mostly just there for tradition. I'm not 100% positive, but I think that is what the purpose of the imperial family is.

How do you leave Shivering isles and go back to Imperial City?
Hello, I have Oblivion and Shivering Isles installed for the pc and I am two thirds of the way through the main quest. I have downloaded and installed a couple of mods which need me to go back to Imperial City and then back again to SI. Is there a shortcut back to Imperial City or the mainland from Shivering Isles. I cannot see any map markers for the Oblivion mainland from SI.

How do you leave Shivering isles and go back to Imperial City?
You have to go back out the way you came in. You can fast travel to the portal, which then leads to Tamriel, but that is about as quick as you can go.

I need information or a website on how to take care of an Imperial Shih Tzu puppie.?
My mom is going to go get a Imperial Shih Tzu puppie today from a breeder and we have had trouble finding a site that explains to us how to take care of the puppie. For example when should we take him to the vet and what he should eat and all that good stuff. We also plan to breed him with another Shih Tzu female with a family friend. So any information is helpful thanks.
I need information or a website on how to take care of an Imperial Shih Tzu puppie.?
All puppies need the same care regardless of breed. I have a Shih Tzu that is now two years old. I treated him just like any other pup; he ate Purina Puppy Chow and got his shots at 6, 9, and 12 weeks. You can give them the shots yourselves, but make sure the shots are refrigerated. If the shots are room temp then they're non-effective and the pup could still get sick. Be sure to read the label on the injection directions. If you're too nervous, take them to the vet. Most vets give you a puppy packet that gives you all the needed information on your new bundle of joy, plus it has a records page to keep track of all your pups needs. Good luck! Remember the most important thing a pup needs is unconditional love.
Reply:1) There's no such thing as an "imperial" shih tzu.
2) If your breeder was any good, they would be giving you this information.
3) Great, another BYB in the making......

What is the difference between imperial and empire?
"Imperial" is an adjective. "Empire" is a noun.
Unless of course you're talking about an "empire dress," in which case "empire" is an adjective.
Reply:An empire (from the Latin "imperium", denoting military command within the ancient Roman government) is a state that extends dominion over populations distinct culturally and ethnically from the culture/ethnicity at the center of power. Scholars still debate about what exactly constitutes an empire, and other definitions may emphasize economic or political factors.
Imperial is a term that is used to describe something that relates to an empire, emperor, or the concept of imperialism.
It can also refer to places, organizations, standards and types, things, animals and plants

Do we need to learn metric and imperial?
Two contestants on The Weakest Link thought that cwt was cue weight and half a gross was 6 !! Since America use imperial above metric, are our schools failing kids by just teaching them metric?
Do we need to learn metric and imperial?
we should all learn both of them, I can't understand what all the fuss is about we were taught both systems at school and that was 55 years ago. and stop knocking the americans they are right to go their own way,unlike us who accept punitive laws from the EU for something as innocent as selling a pound of tomatoes.
Reply:No The metric system is world wide. Its only the backward United states that continues to hang on to imperial measurements.
The metric system is far more accurate and concise in measurement. Most Americans are resistant to change and dumbasses that can't grasp the fact that it is they who are out of sync with the rest of the world!
Reply:Firstly, there are more countries out there besides the USA...and other systems of measurement. Should our children be taught to know what a knuckle is or how to measure it?
Secondly, I don't think it should be taught in schools beyond what it is. If a person lives in a metric country, not knowing what imperial measures are is not a bad thing. I didn't know what cwt was, but I live on metric.
Having said that, I know some imperial measuring so that I can communicate with my Gran and Mum with ease as they both grew up learning imperial.
Finally, the Weakest Link is not a good way to determine how smart a nation is, it's a tv game...
Reply:Basics of one. Details of other!
Reply:I learnt metric at school and never use it. All my adult life I have used feet and inches because they are more practical. Because there are 12 inches in a foot imperial measures can be divided by 3 and 4 and yield whole numbers. With metric you get a lot of 0.25 and 0.333333333 when you divide.
Reply:Private schools are not failing to educate children and they do it in metric only. Europe churns out some well educated 'metric only' teenagers ...
So America has nothing to do with it really ...
Reply:Fair question, but I don't think it's necessary. If you're an engineer and you work with Americans, you figure out imperial as you go along; it's just part of picking up the jargon of your profession. School was never going to teach me whether 100,000 pounds per hour of steam was a lot or a little.
Metric beats imperial in every respect except geometric progressions. If the metric system could find some way of matching the logic of having screw and bolt sizes in a progressive series of fractions, it would be perfect.
Reply:Who cares......U have to learn both anyway. Why question them.
Reply:You should learn both. Many things in the UK are still marked in imperial regardless of regulations.
Reply:We do need both.
In my last job I had to deal with American specs., all of them in feet and inches, with no metric equivalents.
I had to convert measurements like 55 ft, 9 %26amp; 7/16 inches into metres before we could do anything with them.
Until the USA drags itself, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century we're stuck with having to know both.

we should all learn both of them, I can't understand what all the fuss is about we were taught both systems at school and that was 55 years ago. and stop knocking the americans they are right to go their own way,unlike us who accept punitive laws from the EU for something as innocent as selling a pound of tomatoes.
Reply:No The metric system is world wide. Its only the backward United states that continues to hang on to imperial measurements.
The metric system is far more accurate and concise in measurement. Most Americans are resistant to change and dumbasses that can't grasp the fact that it is they who are out of sync with the rest of the world!
Reply:Firstly, there are more countries out there besides the USA...and other systems of measurement. Should our children be taught to know what a knuckle is or how to measure it?
Secondly, I don't think it should be taught in schools beyond what it is. If a person lives in a metric country, not knowing what imperial measures are is not a bad thing. I didn't know what cwt was, but I live on metric.
Having said that, I know some imperial measuring so that I can communicate with my Gran and Mum with ease as they both grew up learning imperial.
Finally, the Weakest Link is not a good way to determine how smart a nation is, it's a tv game...
Reply:Basics of one. Details of other!
Reply:I learnt metric at school and never use it. All my adult life I have used feet and inches because they are more practical. Because there are 12 inches in a foot imperial measures can be divided by 3 and 4 and yield whole numbers. With metric you get a lot of 0.25 and 0.333333333 when you divide.
Reply:Private schools are not failing to educate children and they do it in metric only. Europe churns out some well educated 'metric only' teenagers ...
So America has nothing to do with it really ...
Reply:Fair question, but I don't think it's necessary. If you're an engineer and you work with Americans, you figure out imperial as you go along; it's just part of picking up the jargon of your profession. School was never going to teach me whether 100,000 pounds per hour of steam was a lot or a little.
Metric beats imperial in every respect except geometric progressions. If the metric system could find some way of matching the logic of having screw and bolt sizes in a progressive series of fractions, it would be perfect.
Reply:Who cares......U have to learn both anyway. Why question them.
Reply:You should learn both. Many things in the UK are still marked in imperial regardless of regulations.
Reply:We do need both.
In my last job I had to deal with American specs., all of them in feet and inches, with no metric equivalents.
I had to convert measurements like 55 ft, 9 %26amp; 7/16 inches into metres before we could do anything with them.
Until the USA drags itself, kicking and screaming, into the 21st century we're stuck with having to know both.
Why did the Nazis ally with Imperial Japan?
If the Nazis believed in the "superiority" of the "white race", wasn't allying themselves with an Asian people against their racist beliefs?
Also, didn't Imperial Japan supposedly stand against the "Imperialistic Europeans"?
What would have happened if the Axis won? Do you think this alliance would have continued after the war?
Why did the Nazis ally with Imperial Japan?
There's an ancient saying that's the root of political alliances: "The enemy of my enemy is my friend". The Japanese believed they were the master race at least as much as the Germans did, but they had common enemies and it suited them well to be allies. Germany didn't have anything Japan wanted immediately and vice versa, but both could cause lots of trouble for the other's enemies and they could always fight each other later for the championship of the World.
Hitler also had many Arab allies in spite of his extreme anti-Semitism (ironic since Arabs and Jews are both technically semitic, though the term anti-Semitic has come to mean anti-Jewish). The Muslims of Yugoslavia actually fielded Nazi regiments.
Had, gods forbid, the Axis won, Japan would have taken over Asia, Germany would have taken over Europe and North Africa, and eventually Asia Minor and or the Americas would have been a very bloody battleground.
Reply:You have to remember that Hitler's ambitions were in Eastern Europe, not Asia. He didn't give a rat's rump about Asia. So why not ally with the Japs? They were kicking butt all over the continent, and they'd even kicked the Russians' collective butt back in 1905, and that was before the Communist Revolution and Stalinist purges killed off all the able military officers! He was probably hoping they'd force Russia into the same two front war he got sucked into. Fortunately for all of us, however, they were purely mercenary bastards who were only out for themselves and no one else!
Reply:I believe it was a way to get the Japanese involved in a future war with the Soviet Union, despite Japan's non-aggression pact with the Soviets. It was to keep enough Soviet troops bogged down on the Eastern side of the country facing the Japanese. It didn't work of course. They would have eventually fought each other had they made it that far.
Reply:the both wanted to take over the world..
and sooner or later they would have fought against each other
im kinda guessing on this..
i totally sucked at AP world history

For Warhammer 40k Gamers, Can Witch Hunter Armies field Imperial Guard and Space Marine units?
Me and my brother both started collecting Warhammer 40k at the same time. He got Imperial Guard, I got Space Marines. We always thought we were just getting them to collect and paint. Now that I want to start playing the game, I'd like to be able to use both armies. If I was fighting as Witch Hunters and bought an Inquistor, could I field units from the Imperial Guard aswell as units from Space Marines?
For Warhammer 40k Gamers, Can Witch Hunter Armies field Imperial Guard and Space Marine units?
Not both at the same time. The Witch Hunters have a rule called "In the Name of the Immortal Emperor..." which allows them to take Space Marine or Imperial Guard units as Troops, Elites, Fast Attack or Heavy Support choices, but they can only take *either* Imperial Guard *or* Space Marines - the implication being that if they could get marines, why would they bother to get Guard?
Get the Witch Hunters codex and all will be explained.

How do you fix an Agitator on a Washing Machine? I have a Whirlpool Imperial Series- Model #LLT8244AQ.?
This Mahine is approx 13 years old. The bottom half of the Agitator works, but the Top half of the Agitator is not working?

Here is a simple and easy to follow guide.

Scroll down a bit and you see the agitator troubleshooting section.
Good luck, be safe, and make sure you unplug the machine FIRST! :)
Reply:I had the same problem with my washing machine and found the problem to be a part called "dog ear cogs". These cogs catch and make the agitator turn back and forth. Remove the top part of the agitator and see if the cogs are worn or turn the top part of the agitator and if it keeps turning without stopping they need replacing. They only cost around 5.00 a set (shipping costs more) but order more than one set because once they start wearing out they usually need replacing every 6 months if you do a lot of washing.

How long does it take to walk from elephant and castle to the imperial war museum?
about two mins
How long does it take to walk from elephant and castle to the imperial war museum?
trust me its not bloomin ages, its about 2-5 minutes. dnt take the tube its a waste of cash. When youre at the elephant and castle look for the college of communication, than walk down that road, and it will be on your left after about 300 metres.
hope you enjoy it, i havent been for ages - i think its free now aswell thanks to Red Ken our beloved mayor
Reply:days that is if you want to visit the one at the lowry centre in Manchester.
Reply:Blooming ages - take the tube! :)

Strike that! Just take a stroll down St Georges Road - its only 5 mins away!! Mis-read the question. Sorry! :)
Reply:I dont think its that far - i passed it last night but difficult to judge how far cos i was in a taxi. Good idea to walk though, usually less hassle than transport!
Reply:It's about 20 - 30 minute walk. The Transport for London website http://www.tfl.gov.uk/ can give info on buses if you want to bus it. Don't tube it.
Reply:Extraordinary isn't it? Answers seem to vary between 2 mins and 30 mins walk! It is no more than a few hundred yard. It is one stop on a bus (2 from the stop outside the Tabernacle, opposite the Northern Line station). It is utterly pointless getting the tube since Elephant is as near as any other station (Lambeth North may be equally close). I do wish people would only answer if they actually know what they're talking about......
Reply:It's 500 yards. 7-10 minutes, and some of that getting your orientation.

Well worth a periodic visit. As are their other sites.

Why don't you just take the bus there?
if you jump on the 12 bus (the long snake ones)
and pray that there aren't any bus inspectors you can get away with a free bus fare ;)
