Omg amazing, didn't even know about that technique, i thought maintaining a good formation and ranged to infantry ratio was all i needed. I just gained 50 ELO

Did you install a VPN such as Proton ? I had an issue were it messes with Window's network configuration (eg : create rules to use their DNS that overwrites user configurations) and it was a nightmare to remove. Not saying it is the reason but i'd like to know.

Hi all: Wanting to contribute to the wiki here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki When I follow the 'help' hyperlink outlining how to start contributing it takes me to an index of all pages, none of which is help!! What is this idiot doing wrong? Please help!

Honestly, I'm not convinced that optimizing a programming language primarily for absolute beginners is as beneficial as it sounds. Python followed a similar philosophy, but learning to program well is vastly harder than learning a handful of keywords. Any design tradeoff that makes the language slightly easier during the first week, at the cost of making it less expressive or more awkward for experienced users over the following years, seems questionable. Nowadays, if the goal is to let people write programs in natural language, LLMs already provide a much more flexible solution. You can describe the program in your own language and have the model translate it into an established programming language. That avoids permanently baking "natural language" compromises into the language itself. Python is an example of the downside of prioritizing beginner friendliness too much. The core language is simple, but once you start doing more advanced things, many features feel like workarounds layered on top of the original design. The result is code that can actually become harder to read and reason about than languages that were designed with more consistency and long-term scalability in mind.

Moar mockups, this time for the Civilization Overview :

Boots. Now time for input

I think it would be nice to have auto-scout as a feature. In a lot of games with the feature, some people use it, while many don't. Higher-level players find it doesn't scout as efficiently as they want it to, so they prefer to scout by hand. Lower-level players like the APM it frees up, so they are more likely to use it. I think it's a fine feature. It's something that was desired in the original game design 20 years ago. It would be neat to have it come back.

Is the removal of this an Issue or Pull Request yet? I agree with removing this redundancy.

I meant, PR for the background code to make formation bonuses a possibility. The formation bonuses themselves can be a separate PR.

@Stan`@Itms

Vanilla 0AD? Better not pull in there unless they have solid plan of formation bonuses.

Oh ok so I think you do need @stevenlau for that.

Yes, if you get Ahisma (all units), you gather berries faster and farm faster, but gather meat slower... whether ur a horse, civilian or soldier. germs civilians gather meat 100% faster, you can see it in stats. IT says civilians, there is only one type of civilian unit, dont confuse it with citizen

I've submitted 3 PRs and 4 Issues.

So... I got 0AD compiling with libnx on switch. It doesn't run yet but spidermonkey works perfectly. I hope to get it working with OpenGL and JIT SpiderMonkey

How?

Pull Request plz

The Mauryas have a tech Ahimsa That gives units -80% meat gather. Someone know for sure that if affects the horse? ( ASHWAROHI Indian Ligth Cavalary). Also the German have 100% bonus meat gather to civilians. It counts the horse?

It's not about the game play for you. It's a kind of realism. If you were running a empire or a company you expect people can do some things on their own. Like If you tell your scout to go wild he goes will. He does not need you to tell him where to go next all the time. I mean real world people don't need a lot of commands like that. This is useful to play against the computer. You put some units to walk around and find his secret base or hidden units.

On discord some servers did it:

I have had two mods pending for over a month, how long should it take?

Is it my turn to ask (again) for a knock back/down effect? Yes, it is realistic (there's a video around of a woman being flung by a "small" elephant), and indeed it would be nice to have it, even when impacted by a cavalry charge, and certain spear/pike "formations" could reduce/cancel it (ideally from the frontal direction only).
