This is my biggest hang up, and the resigning/ranking points issue.

Couldn't the game state get loaded to the client in this case?

I don't know for sure, but my guess is that this behavior wasn’t implemented to allow players the chance to reconnect. In the past, the game may have had more stability issues, and it probably didn’t seem fair to punish players for something that could have been caused by the game itself rather than by them. Yeah, this seems like the most appropriate behavior, since it also allows the disconnected player to rejoin the game. Many times that’s exactly what happens: the player reconnects. Also, since it’s very common to play against people you know, it’s useful to be able to pause the game and wait for the client to reconnect before resuming. On the other hand, if the host disconnects, it’s reasonable to count it as a resignation, since one could argue that the host is responsible for ensuring that their connection is stable. Just brainstorming: Maybe it would be good to have a short grace period before a disconnection counts as a loss. For example, during the first two minutes of the game, if someone disconnects, it wouldn’t count as a loss, since it’s unlikely that the player left because they were losing. Another idea that comes to mind is some kind of “offline timer.” Each player could have, for example, up to five minutes to reconnect to the game. This would give them a fair chance to resume, while also avoiding situations where the remaining player is forced to finish the match alone just to secure the win. The offline timer could continue running even while the game is paused.

Ey, @AlexHerbert and @sarcoma ! I'm yet to port this mod for R28. I'll work on this during this week and I will upload the new version

Not that I know of.

@Stan`, thank you! But it looks too complicated... Is there something more user-friendly ? Something like in civilization description in the game GUI?

@EilatHere to fulfill your first request. Your second request maybe tomorrow. Deathmatch is a rather different mode and it doesn't suit your EconomyMaster AI's personality because the resource are already there. The thing I do note in its behavior was not teching Festival Fertility to spam civilians to speed up economy and building stuff, and that it stops building house until it reaches its max limit my recommendation is to have 10 individual citizen to build houses individually nonstop... Anyways I'm tired. oh and I'll try to give few more minutes before I go in, I was so not mercy to your AI, 15 minute is too early XD. commands.txt

Is there any specific reason why that isn't the case yet? I see it the same way: - If the client disconnects from the host, he should only ever do so for a good reason and communicate to the host that he'll return. If he doesn't do that, it should be possible for the host to just finish the game without anyone playing on the other side, win, and consequently gain rating points as usual. - If the host closes the game prematurely, it should simply count as resigning and therefore as a loss in the rating system.

@TapotheiCan you fight against the economy master in a deathmatch with unlimited population and resources? You seem like an experienced player. I've just fixed the bot's healer issue, and I'd love to hear your feedback. @TapotheiLet's play a resource intensive deathmatch, it has a poor starting ability with low resources. I'll find a way to fix this problem. bot_EconomyMaster.zip

Muchísimas gracias. Just the game don't show me the mod even though I changed the dependencies from 0.27.0 to 0.28.0. This mod can be very useful

does this mod work for the new release?

You can export CXXFLAGS or edit build/premake5/premake5.lua. You can also enable lto

I'm really looking forward to this. I hope it all gets fully integrated into the game, as I for one am itching to make Singleplayer maps/experiences, but feel quite limited due to the limited documentation and lack of any sort of tools in ATLAS to intuitively develop solo maps with triggers and such, as well as the very limited options in actually telling a story/narrative. This narrative stuff, combined with ATLAS's editor being improved to actually include it's own Trigger Editor and such, so that modders, artists, etc. can develop stuff with these tools in a way that is intuitive and user friendly, would be an absolute godsend.

Could you specify more directly what the issue is? If you're talking about the stretched out vertices, that's generally a result of vertices not actually being weighted to any bones, despite being a skeletal mesh. As a result, extreme warping of that sort will occur. Make sure every vertex on your mesh has weights applied to it.

Thanks, I just found out that it's possible to edit comments. @TapotheiI think the problem lies in unlimited resources and an unlimited population; it's designed to crush rivals with sheer numbers. This turtle will stay in its shell and never actively bite you, but once you strike it, it will retaliate.

@EilatI'd advice when you want to talk with someone's comment in succession just edit your comment so it doesn't clutter much, I'll respond later with this comment. - Default 300, is this bot intended to be infinite PPM over time? - Its not turtoise if it crawls to me, its supposed to stay in base and wait for my punch but its trying to slash my turtle heart. Can confirm what made them stunted was me sending my single scout over, its fine. - Be patient I'll check it after completing this bot. - No error its just: idle healers.... Wait for me to complete 3 other game.... which I've done and nothing.

In addition, have any other errors been reported?

If you have time, please try the other two bots. I'd love to hear more feedback.

Perhaps it's my oversight, but I only tested it in aggressive mode and it never failed against Petra. Furthermore, the main purpose of this bot is defensive counter-attack, so it will limit its attacks.

Is that the population of the Iron Tortoise or your population? How much is it? Do you have unlimited population mode set?

Had to use community mod's skeleton to be able to detect this mod in linux. Version 27.1, Took a break from 0AD, First game as Han in the map Ardennes Forest, I've beaten Iron Turtoise Very Hard(Mauryan-Random Behavior), around min 24 and I was max pop at min 20, there was some attack but its nothing compared to vanilla VH Petra. I've checked the replay and well... it had 15k food with little to no other resources(5-10 workers work on this) once reach T2 at min 10 and because of that its population was stunted at 81 because not enough resources or simply because the harrasment was not supposed to be and that from there I just stopped their economy like that. My recommendation, use civilians to mine stone and metal only to the max of 24 in batch of 3, because thats what I do as it only requires food. I'll go play more samples of 4 more and I'll edit this later, respond once I complete it. 2nd game, Map Cantabrian Highlands against Han, this time population was not stunted but slowed at min 13 on 130 pops. It doesn't need to barter wood with stone at the start of T2 just use civilian to mine it out. The 20 healers it made was afk the whole time. I still hate to chase villagers from Expert Petra's mechanic, makes the game last longer then it needs to be except well to be honest its just a few seconds, I still hate it. 3rd Game, Map Corinthium Isthmus, Again against Mauryan, Priest are noted to idle are they waiting for the full army so they move? Ended game min 21. I'll share the replay after 2 more games so you can see my POV. 4th and 5th no comment, I'll go limit with 3 matches only as I don't see anything interesting. My head is so foggy. Score: Below Petra Bot Imagine this is medium difficulty at best, because the overall score I noted is lower then them about 1-2k, PPM can keep up until T2, from there its slower then VH Petra Bot(10PPM). Which it no longer can defend itself as not enough army = not enough economy = shell-less turtle. When I actually check that the map is large and that its population is unlimited, I do see it defeating Expert Petra.... I see.. so this is how its intended to be played okay let me run another proper game. Lol, I still beat with double score. Whoops I go the default one. I'll go test it later. commands.txt commands (2).txt commands (3).txt commands (4).txt commands (5).txt

Does Protectorate work on r28? Has anyone tried it? Please give me an answer. If it works, I will just fix Iron Tortoise and Economy Master by changing the dependency from 0ad 0.27.0 to 0ad, or if your machine has an IDE, just open the mod json file and edit it.

Another 3v3 match (3 Protectorate vs 3 Petra, Civ: Han, Liu Yi as Empire, Liu Zhuang and Liu Bao as vassals)

Has anyone ever defeated Iron Tortoise or Economy Master? What do you think of them as formidable opponents?

So now that a did a new try, with zylis comands it worked fine. Now the next idea is to compile with machine specific Optimation ( Intel Skylake), to see how much this makes a difference. Where is the place to put the compile options?
