You can tell this isn’t a positive improvement from the fact that everyone will continue to call this new farmer unit “women.” This change adds absolutely nothing to the game in terms of gameplay. The justifications being offered are “historical accuracy” and “realism.” If that’s the case, then we should also add mechanics like sleep, rest, parents having children, a full day–night cycle and redesign the entire game from scratch. We should also reconsider how a “hero” can survive after being hit by 50 arrows. I’d also like to address the following points: Male soldiers were already able to farm. They were simply less efficient at it. (Likewise, women could work in mines and gather stone and metal, just less efficiently.) So the farmer role already included men, making men farmers is not a new update. The only real effect of this change is that it effectively removes “women” from the game. If we’re talking about historical accuracy and realism, let’s look at population numbers. Imagine we have a village with 300 population. If 250 are soldiers and 50 are “farmers,” and even if only half of those farmers are women, does that mean there are only 25 women in a population of 300? When farmers were exclusively women, at least the number of women was higher. Where are the women who are supposed to make up half of the population?

I didn't see that one. I did see the "no blood and gore" mod, which also needs an update. After looking into it a bit, I don't plan to pursue a "Peaceful Mode" mod... but I still it's a good idea for someone else to do I think I'm good with the workaround for now, it accomplishes most of what I want at the moment: 1. Deselect all victory options 2. Set all players on the same team 3. Lock teams Thanks everyone!

One could do it either way. So, either edit the hero's template to give him the extra speed stat directly, or have the aura affect the class "Hero" too.

Mixins are a great way of adding extra changes or details to child templates without having to edit the child templates too much. The WFG team has really designed a very very powerful system of managing the game's entities. Mixins have yet to be utilized to their fullest extent, but the game already has a bunch of good examples of how it works. You can even use multiple mixins.

lol. I specifically asked for an angry expression, specifically in regards to the Roman depravation of her and her daughters. Time for some Brythonic Payback™. She and her followers literally go John Wick on the Romans.

Can't use him. He's being used for the Galatians. Need someone more specific to Gaul.

Bolgios: was a Gaulish leader during the Gallic invasion of the Balkans who led an invasion of Macedon and Illyria in 279 BC, killing the Macedonian king Ptolemy Keraunos.

AI was angry with all the requests on this one

There is a folder called mixins that is in the templates folder, check that out.

No, I am not suggesting Asterix. (sorry could not resist)

Been looking through the .xml files, and I stumbled upon this line in the Maur champion elephant: <Entity parent="elephant_indian|template_unit_champion_elephant_melee"> I can't find the source of "elephant_indian" that determines how it modifies the template.

New civ emblem: Heroes: If anyone has a good suggestion for a 4th Gallic hero, I'd love to hear it.

Wow! Looking forward to it!!!!

By the time you complete your wonder, wouldn't you have already researched almost all technologies?

Would it? I know AoE2 handles it like this, but from a quick search historically projectiles such as arrows and javelins were most effective against elephants. But it's good to know that they have to be brought down by pure strength; as they deal AoE damage the most effective counter in 0AD might be ranged units as well.

Bit old but : https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/Triggers Some stuff at https://github.com/0ADMods/trailer_tools And https://github.com/SciGuy42/Macedonia_0ad which is the closest we ever got to a campaign

@manowar is working on Pull request #8784 (8408 More AI names for the germans).

You’re saying they should be affected by their own auras. I’m saying they should have the bonus built in.

Free of resources, but not of research time.

Probably another instance of https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8757, so reporting it to the fedora bug tracker would be the best course of action as we can't do anything about that one on our side.

I am still working on it. I made the dumb move (lol) of adding a new civ (Galatians), so I need to finish up their heroes before I bundle the mod. I'm aiming for this weekend.
