That's actually a really cool breakdown — love how you're balancing things while keeping that historical flavor.
The camel addition for the Persians is a great touch. It’s a fun detail that also has a real tactical logic to it (horses freaking out around camels is historically documented, after all). Definitely adds depth without just stacking more cavalry.
I like the idea of giving the Romans a sword bonus too — feels appropriate, and the nod to Iberian steel is a nice bit of realism.
As for Sparta, champs being stronger makes sense, and having the heroes appear in P2 with nerfed stats but full bonuses sounds like a solid compromise. That could create some really interesting early-game decisions without being OP.
And yeah, the Celtic Coalition is shaping up to be really diverse. Even if the Gauls were more about raw infantry and numbers, bringing in units from other tribes makes it more exciting to play them.
Looking forward to seeing where you take this next — keep it up!
There are some issues with building from sources though, mainly the sheer size of the repo, and since the assets are not cached, it will take another 2 extra GB of space. But other than this you should be good.
Regarding the flatpak it's maintained by us, so if it's the content rather than the technology itself that's the issue, you are safe with it.
@Ludwik
RTS games are tough. Not a lot of people can stand the stress of multitasking, managing the economy with 4 different resources, micro and macro needed to win games.
Maybe 0 A.D. just isn't a kind of game for you, and that is OK. Thank you for trying it out!
I don't remember having this issue, but pathfinder still needs some work.
Are the siege engines in formation? You could try to disable it by setting them on the "x" (no formation).
Whenever I try to muster my army and form an attack, it ALWAYS ends up that the siege engines lag behind a huge amount, and will even actively move to the back of the formation when the army gets close, even when I highlight them separately. The sieges will be in the front, and will immediately start driving in REVERSE for some reason.
Need a fix badly.
Hello,
It's really too difficult to play online.
I've never won a game. I don't speak English, and the chat is only in English, making it impossible to understand anything.
I'm giving up and deleting the game from my computer.
Thanks again to everyone who tried to help me.
