I've seen a lot of references to the Spartans being one of the better factions in the game, but to me they seem underpowered; though I think I may be missing some things, so I want to ask a few questions: One of the loading screens says that Spartiates are the strongest infantry unit in the game - but their stats are identical to Athenian City Guards and also, I believe, Macedonian Shieldbearers (and wouldn't the Silver Shield upgrade make the Macedonian Shieldbearers better than the Spartiates?). Am I missing something? I also see a lot of talk about Skiritai Commandos, but their stats are a lot worse than Athenian Marines, even though they both become available at P2. They're much cheaper than Athenian Marines, but the latter can also be trained in ports, on ships, and in gymnasiums. I know the Skiritai also come out of the barracks with Elite experience, but even so their stats are still lower than that of Marines. I'm also not sure about this, as their advertised health is 150, but mine come out with 157 health. I thought elite units had a 20% health bonus? Am I missing/misunderstanding some things? It kind of seems like the Spartans are just nerfed versions of the Athenians and Macedonians with far fewer units, and outmatched stats wise. -

Gurken Khan, you reminded me that replays aren't usable if a savegame was loaded. Munch Bar, here is what you need to do in order to help us help you. Please start a new game of 0ad and do a complete playthrough without saving and reloading. If the problem occurs then run the match for another 30 seconds, then stop the match and send us the replay right away. The replay will be easy to find because it will be the most recent one. -

I assume some thought went into the native names, but sure, if you got better suggestions and the sources for them I'm all for choosing the more appropriate names! Probably the devs and players would agree, so I don't see a reason why they shouldn't make it into the game. -
Over the course of researching for the encyclopedia I've found and noted down a few cases of units or buildings, where (I think) a new native name in place of the current one would be more fitting and correct. Plus, if I remember correctly, @ShadowOfHassen did too, from his research. And, of course, everyone is free to share their suggestions here as well. My question is: Would it be possible to get them into the game? It would only require editing the "SpecificName" property in he designated XML template. My idea is to list all of my suggestions in this thread here, explain my thought process and cite the sources. And then submit the names, that people agree with / confirm, on phabricator. Is this wanted / welcomed? I only want to make the effort of extensive researching and laying out my reasoning if there's a good chance the names make it into the game. (Of course, only the ones that members of the wildfiregames team end up considering worth using). I really don't want to seem uppish or pushy because that's totally not how this is meant. I just don't want to dedicate myself to work that ultimately leads to no outcome. Hope you understand what I mean, Vantha -

Here is a possibly strange idea that increases usability of the game a bit further: As someone trying different mods in SP mode, I noticed that of course you cannot resume a game that was previously saved when using mod A, if you are now using mod A and B or another mod environment. In fact the saved game is not even visible for selection at all (but still existing). Would it be complex to implement a functionality that the "load-saved-game-selector-box" displays actually all saved games - but with a little indicator if it can be used with the currently active mods the indicator also allowing to open a list of mods that were used (including their version) when the game was saved (frankly, I sometimes forget which mods were active whan I last saved a game...) Furthermore it would be nice to have the following features: a button put the game into the state when the game was last saved, i.e. temporarily activate mods needed (if still available in the current game installation alse output an error message) and temporarily deactivate installed mods that cannot be used for that saved game if mods are not present output a suggestion to acquire that missing mod from mod.io I admit that this is not the main game feature lacking, but possibly not so difficult to implement as the list of required mods might be stored within a saved game already. Please let me know your thoughts! Best regards, Grautvornix -
The problem I was facing was following the guide for the nightly build (link), and the url for it does not exist. I tried this both on tortoiseGit and the linux terminal. Example: ~$ svn checkout https://svn.itms.ovh/nightly-build/trunk svn: E170000: URL 'https://svn.itms.ovh/nightly-build/trunk' doesn't exist In other news I downloaded the code from the svn repo https://svn.wildfiregames.com/public/ps/trunk/ , and ran the bash script you provided, which it made it extremely easy to get the game running. Thank You! -

Well, friendo, your shaky cam footage is NOT a replay. Do you know the difference between a reply and a replay? Do you do this with machine translation?
