    • I agree that this does not need immediate improvement, it works good enough. But an icon when hovering over fields (like when hovering over buildings while having a unit selected and holding the garrison button) would be a nice quality of life improvement, as I wouldnt have to click through all my farms to find the one farm that only has 4 women working on it.
    • Clicking on twelve trees is not that hard. And if you want to build a wall through an entire forest, maybe you should reconsider. Thats 6 clicks. Not very many for the start of the game where nothing is happening. Also this would mostly just be a bad decision, since paying 100wood at the start of the game to queue up building a farm after they will be done with the berries minutes later is not a very good economic decision. Same goes for basically every other situation, if the selection box targeting was added for economy aswell. I guess thats also what @Atrik was alluding to when he compared the military benefit of this targeting method to "manual sniping", just that selection box targeting would be even less useful economically (as far as I can see).   That being said, I dont really care if selection box targeting gets added, neither for military nor economy, as I can just choose to not use it if I dont like it. Thus I endorse adding this to a potential a27 community mod or a28 release.
    • How to boom with the Persians!  The late game was not worth showing, but the boom was epic.    Another match featuring Tom 0AD and JagsusIndia talking in the background:  
    • I think a feature like this could be applied to gathering mechanics as well. One thing I have wanted to see for a long time is the ability to have a group of worker units, then box-select some trees, and the units will automatically gather only those trees. They will gather surrounding trees if left idle after that, but this means you can queue an order to come after only those trees are gathered. For example, if you wanted to build a wall, but some trees are in the way, you can order units to gather only the trees that are in the way, then queue an order to start building the wall, and that would save you from needing to check back on those units later, or from needing to shift-click on potentially dozens of trees. You could also queue-order multiple patches of trees in a row. For example, you could order units to build a storehouse, and then queue an order to gather a patch of trees with box-select, then queue an order to build another storehouse next to a different forest, and so on. Another example is at the start of the game, for berry gathering, you could use box-select to order your women to gather the starting berries, then queue the order to build farms once those berries have run out. That would save you from needing to shift-click on each and every bush. There are so many other examples that I could probably think of for how this could work, but you get the idea.
    • Yes, but this one has other issues. For one, the fan is loud. It also heats up if I block the fan outlet (same root cause I guess). Even after opening it up and thorougly cleaning it. Some keys stopped working. The battery is dead. And, worst of all, Vulkan doesnt work on this one . I mean I bought it when Starcraft 2 came out with my first salary. When we thought RTS was forever... Then, well, it wasnt... Until, I came upon 0 AD! Ok, Im digressing. I meant to say, maybe it is best I give my old laptop a dignified end. Its service was admirable.   Like this one?  https://www.amazon.de/KingSpec-Internal-Compatible-Desktop-Laptop/dp/B0B2K51BHH/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?crid=583EK7IRS2QB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.3h15Y7xYyv_hOMXAcXgTt76MeBSSaKk8Kg_5rdjotEMMlXtfoS9mZsZh4Emdx6j01NesKuLfpjgYc18M5l1Ap4fUYgoiwJIRGBp0MM0E12lsqn-7XujyIDEMtkC4zM47RHti4VO8taPVu1wc8qvOHqYNlv9Qg-wASYyTCx1XmxAOqBabi-NlzIfYPGUse9wY1bjDuxMnlHE6ceMyFDPkFA.P9GNpKwVYWtVVjV4eImgZDFi4zbagu6G90wYj8x25Yw&dib_tag=se&keywords=laptop+ssd+1tb&qid=1744753938&sprefix=laptop+ssd+1tb%2Caps%2C187&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9zZWFyY2hfYXRm&psc=1 But do you suggest to keep Win 10? The end of life is October. Isnt that just delaying the investment on a Win 11 compatible laptop just a bit more?
    • Ah ok. No Linux Mint works fine with HDD. It is quite similar to Win7 in terms of performance on HDD. Although I think there is less risk in transforming your old Win7 laptop into a Linux Mint instead of changing your wife's laptop. Now that you specified this HDD issue on your wife's laptop, I would clearly suggest swapping the HDD for a SSD (SATA). This is something I did for my wife a while ago, it is not that complicated. And SSD are cheap. You only need to do a clone copy of your wife's HDD.
    • Both have HDD only. Unfortunately, its HDDs all the way down... Is this a problem to have a Linux Mint only setup?
