Essential Strategy started following Linux download not working? and Any suggestion to start learning modding?
-
Hello, I am new here and tried to start a modding project some days ago by learning from some tutorials I found here: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/WikiStart#Formodders: But my try was not so successful. It seems I cannot manually install mods in .local/share/0ad/mods for some reason, but I suppose it is because my game was installed from the software manager or something. I tried to find tutorials in previous posts but there are few and are not about first steps. I am not a neophyte on modding by the way, I have modded several other games before, although this is the first time I am going to use JavaScript. Any help would be thanked.

The meaning of Aggressive and Defensive AI
Gurken Khan replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Sure. But I like to manage XP, especially with my healers; so I like to gather my holy bunch ASAP and take it from there. Probably because they're fully garrisoned, then it's a real pain: hard to capture, loads of arrows... If necessary I do "inhale, exhale": attack, if they garrison withdraw out of sight so they come out, rinse & repeat. -
Yeah, but 10 is too much for only harass attack. Healer is for a checkpoint whenever one or more my cavs dying from ranged attack (which is rare in early game). However, it's new to me to using healers while capturing CC. Idk why is it so hard to capture a CC, even with bunch of elite units and hero.

The meaning of Aggressive and Defensive AI
Gurken Khan replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I like to take ten healers along on my "great peace & unity world tour", they mostly negate any losses, even when capturing CCs. (Put 'em on aggressive so they don't fn flee when they catch a stray arrow.) -
Yes, when it's you against a team of AIs. Why? I am positively surprised when I see that the AI has launched a counter attack while my troops were out destroying his CCs. It's not fun to always win flawlessly. The defensive buildings are generally not worth it in 0 A. D. The Fort is an exception, but only if you get the Murder holes technology. Four rams can destroy two unguarded Forts with no support. One Siege Catapult can do the same, given enough time.
-
Anyway, how do you think about adding this mode? While AI is just booming and turtling? Surround their CC with walls (like Iberian), put many soldiers on it, many mainland units guarding, no scary rams, no attack launched. Sounds lame and not challenging, but at some degree, enjoyable .
-
Mostly, yes. But I'm doing better now. I boom to p2, upgrading pierce attack and cav speed, using 10 archer cav to hit and run on enemy border, while a healer metres behind. In this chase, I think it's good that the AI is defensive, because they way easier to get frustrated when chasing my cav. They just walk in and off, while my cav got their heads.

Now for something a little more difficult. If you cross out words that are (parts of) JC's smurf account names, you'll get his life philosophy. -
The meaning of Aggressive and Defensive AI
Player of 0AD replied to vanz's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I disagree. It's much more easier to defeat teams of defensive AIs than aggressives. The latter will swarm you early on. -

Yes, the Defensive one is actually the biggest threat since it booms before attacking. Other AIs just ruin their economy by wasting units that should be working.

@vanz Reason I ask: i find it a good idea to attack the AI immediately after the AI attacks you, when its soldiers are depleted, and it cannot effectively defend itself. Especially, towers can be captured with ease. If you let it keep attacking, it means it can boom in parallel.
-
Aggressive - attacks early and more often. Defensive - attacks late with huge force, builds more towers and Forts earlier. Balanced - somewhere in between the two.

Question Nr. 25 has an answer that is slighty more correct, as it uses a singular Otherwise, it is characterristic that crosswords puzzles have multiple correct answers, but only one vits in with the other words and the space -

I made my own crossword which is based on the technical side of 0ad. I would be very impressed if you can get half of it! -
Maybe they follow George Washington's advice and mount a good offense as the only means of defense . Are you defeated at the first attack of the AI?
-
That's right.

Mmh then maybe the installer doesn't install it anymore (or never has cc @Itms) You can grab the exe from here https://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/system

The Solution: Although I think @MarcusAureliu#s should remove the questions that might doxx other players or name people too personally. Question 12 has many alternative answers, e.g. Spain Question 20 could be phrased a bit more clearly in a different way Question 7: Don't forget Lorenz11 and SchweinePriester! Question 15 has many alternative answers
