    • After playing for about 200 hours, and assuming one is not using cheats (which I don't enjoy because they make the game boring - in my opinion), I feel there are two overall improvements that could be easily made to the game play (no major mods required): (1) the difficulty rating is skewed toward being too difficult (based primarily on how fast AI civs gather resources relative to the human).  I have gotten pretty good at playing and I really enjoy the challenge but I don't think a human being can beat the AI players at "medium difficulty."  In order to beat AI at that level, it seems like one must also be a computer and play the game "perfectly."  Shouldn't that challenge be relegated to the most difficult level of game-play? (2) Any civilization with war elephants has a lopsided advantage over any civilization that doesn't.  If I don't have war elephants and the other side does then I figure it's not worth playing against them since my chances are slim to none over beating them. Overall however, this is by far the best builder/empire battle game I have ever played.  Setting the game on random for everything creates so many interesting possibilities that I never get tired of playing it (which is a first for me at the age of 60!).  If the two previous concerns were addressed, that would make this game the best ever in its genera.
    • The Turin Papyrus Map is indeed a fascinating piece of history, being the oldest known topographical map from the ancient world. Created around 1150 BCE, it depicts a 15-kilometer stretch of Wadi Hammamat and includes details such as the bekhen-stone quarry and the goldmine at Bir Umm Fawakhir. It’s wonderful that you’re drawing inspiration from such a historic document for your map-making project!
    • A lot of them are sadly.
    • A few things to point out: I came back 5 days ago to 0AD, and as kun0 correctly says, I am using a new account, but I have not misrespresented my level to anyone. The game in question was balanced by SaidRdz, who knows who I am. Kun0 and aronramirez attacked my ally 'Sabloku' who held 2v1 like a champ for a while, and then I came a whole minute or two late. Kun0 was already not happy at that point. He and his ally had failed a 2v1, they were low on pop, and were defeated easily afterwards by my ally and me. He was so angry that he asked in open chat if I was DoctorOrgans (as a type of insult, I suppose). After the game ended it was me and not others who told kun0 that I was Acero. I apologized to kun0 if the confusion about my identity made him angry, I even offered him my spot on the next game to make it right. I also told him that it was in part his fault to just assume my level without asking me who I was before the game or during the game. I still think kun0 is one of the coolest players in 0ad and like him very much. Greetings.
