    • For sure, I’ll make a short mod and post it here showing off some of my balancing ideas as soon as I have time.
    • You are certainly right - there could be more civ character diversity. However, balancing appears to be a MAJOR task and I remember loooong and excited discussions and changes back and forth to arrive at the current more or less stable state. Possibly, with your modding experience, do you think you could generate a few  of your proposed test changes and let players look at the resulting balances?
    • So, after playing for a few months now (almost a year), and through my work on Hyrule Conquest and experience playing games such as Halo Wars and Warcraft, I've been thinking: the civilizations in 0 A.D. aren't really that unique. Most civilizations are statistically and gameplay wise almost the exact same, with differences between them being almost purely aesthetic, both in names and actual art. While I know we can't get the races as varied as in a fantasy RTS (with flying races, aliens, monsters, magic, etc.) I feel like the varying ways each race operated in history is not used almost at all. So, using my knowledge of history I've composed a small list of things that could be changed to the few races I actively know about: Athenians: Strong navy & walls, more techs Britains: Faster units and stronger/more dogs Gauls: Fiercer units (more damage and RoF) Germans: Mobile dropsites and houses Romans: Defensive units (more resistance) and formation focused Spartans: Offensive units (more damage & health) This list is incomplete, I ask everyone who reads this to post some thoughts about the other civs and I'll edit this list to fit those ideas.
    • @Deicide4u I have a slight issue with your elo sysytem 2000+: A literal God of 0 A.D., probably played the game since A17.  - Ive been playing for a long time, maybe not a17, not really sure, but at least 10+ years off and on, but im still more in the nub stages, definitely not 2k
    • 1100-1200: Pretty noob plays, always loses, except VS other noobs like him. 1300-1400: Can win if he really, really tries to, but still pretty noob. 1500-1600: Yeah, he is still a noob alright. Will lose a lot of 1v1 games, but win some 4v4s. 1700-1800: Finally starts winning some games, but it's still considered a noob by peers. 1800-2000+: A good player, someone who can be considered regular in 4v4s. 2000+: A literal God of 0 A.D., probably played the game since A17. As you can see, there is a fine line between being good and being a God here
