Romans if you play with my bugfix mod. Being able to produce Civilians from Houses from the start of a match is crazy strong. Ptolemies also feels very strong due to cheaper buildings. I have read that most top-rated players judge Macedonians to be among the strongest Civs, but I don't fully understand why.

Its a sign its boring to watch. Basically equivalent to hearing history lectures if your not into it. Well it happens to me to various gameplay videos a lot especially if it goes beyond 1 hour.

I do think it looks proportionally small compared to that farmstead. A person definitely have to duck to pass through the arch or to stand under the backside awning. With 0ad buildings, the first floor should look about 90% the correct height next to a civilian, while 2nd floors are only something like 60-70% height accurate. That's the "0ad proportions."

Oftentimes, watching 0 A.D. replays on YouTube knocks me out. Don't know why.

When I ever do play any Playstation games my head also become hurt possibly from low frame rate, around 30fps, can also be motion sickness, or that your monitor has too much contrast/brightness the colour is tiring you, eye strain or could be anything really. Actually your fps is throttled both in menu and games, so increase it to 60, if you want precise use the scroll too. I think thats what causing you tired.

We currently calculate paths immediately for only 40 units, while the remainder figure out their path in time for the next turn. What this means unfortunately is that the remaining units have to stop for a whole turn and then accelerate from 0 m/s.

The downside here is that units will continue in the wrong direction a little if you tell them to make a 180 degree turn.

This needs a custom decal and a new ao without the plants. It's a little dark inside so I'll try to bake it without the roof. Would you make a pull request then@wowgetoffyourcellphone? I can't really follow, the proportions are looking fine to me? I can add details to the back but I'm afraid it might look overcrowded.

My personal choice would be the Romans. Reason being that they have strong melee unit base, and solid cavalry. Their ranged units are lacking, for the lack of a better word. Marian Reforms unique tech can be powerful when timed correctly. I prefer their playstyle the most, and their units are very detailed. If I were more objective, the choice would be either Seleucids or Athenians.

I feel very tired, unlike with other things on my PC. Why could it be? Are my settings correct? What I can do to fix it?

I could manually scale down the hidden faces before packing

What do you think is the best civilization in the game currently? You can say several criteria, personal choice, the most powerful,... And what is the functionality or unit that you preferred and which has disappeared. I have been playing 0AD for over 9 years now. Thank you for your work!

No warnings in log (if we're talking about those texts that show on the top left corner when the game becomes bugged). I haven't tried disabling GPU skinning, I don't remember ever tweaking with it. I've switched to Vulkan rendering ever since I downloaded A27 a while back, my GPU worked fine with it (I'm using a mac catalina). I really wish I was able to play A28, Delenda Est seems to be back, I think it's a great mod.

Do note that it reduces AO quality since the pieces take some space there

I'd really love to make them work like the Einherjar character from AOM.

Yep. I think the Parthenon could use that treatment too. And Greek docks.

Oh my goodness. Awesome.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Scaled, changed proportions, the columns and the gate. I also added some more deco around the top and closed some supposedly "hidden" downward faces, because I could imagine a cutscene walking up the acropolis with the new camera path possibilities. The Nike sculptures are those from Athena Parthenos. temple_athena_nike.zip

This would 100% improve single player experience. We can also make the AI focus on certain units in future campaign scenarios, similar to how other RTS games have done it. Example, you would have 3 AI opponents and each opponent will focus on his own unique army. So, the player will have to adjust to 3 different armies at once and choose wisely which army to defeat first.

Releaae March 28th, 2026: - Champions are now stronger and worth the cost. - Two new trainable heroes. Demetrius for the Hellenes and Caratacos for the Celts. - Population cap is back to 300. - The AI is now stronger, with more massive attack waves.

The gaul trumpeters should make sound. I was just scrolling reddit on the trumpeters. Some user says it's somewhat altered and provides 3 other examples: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0eABuyDFXAM09jKd7MWPZh?si=vc-gGIsATEij3GbV-p0Ebg&t=1 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgk1p8xk7z7o https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU4spHMAM1H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

I really like the idea and would test it out in a (community) mod! May I request to have this and all related messages from 2026-03-23 moved to a proper thread?

While reading through the pinned thread I came to the position that it should be moved to 0 A.D. -> General Discussion. Guess most people will search it there ...

Improve the AI's personality rather then efficiency. Rather then a balanced army, make it so that they have a certain build in mind to play against you. Mass horseman, siege focused, spearman mania, ranger runner, champion gigachads build type of memes. The goal is to have fun rather then being competative all the time, as well as strategize many weird build to counter their army rather then booming, turtling and aggresive only, might as well introduce a new strategy called countering Sun-Tzu.
