It's not about you personally but how your ISP set up the network; carrier-grade NAT (CGN/CGNAT) for example has shared IPs. Maybe try to contact the orange online help, they seem to be able to help like here: https://communaute.orange.fr/t5/ma-connexion/Connexion-jeux-en-ligne/m-p/2667184

Okay. Pour faire simple, le message n'est pas lié à toi c'est les autres qui n'ont pas configuré les choses correctement de leur coté. Tout le setup que tu viens de faire c'est pour que les gens puissent join tes parties. Tu ne peux rien faire de plus pour pouvoir rejoindre les leurs.

From https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/shiny, a few small changes were required to make this mod work on released a27. I've ported the endgame screens, added some parts to ModernGUI. Would be too bad to let this artwork vanish in archives. All credits to @maroder obviously.

@Stan, I'm with Orange with a LiveBox and I don't share anything.

Du coup c'est les hôtes qui sont mal configurés. Ou toi qui a un CGNat genre Free qui partage ton IP avec 4 personnes. Normalement cependant avec ton setup tu devrais pouvoir host au moins.

oh yeah forgot about them, still tho only in temples

Hello, The firewall is OK (Public). The logs are OK.

sacred bahl infantry left the chat

All archer civs should have 220 pop due to their disadvantage if played with regular infantry, particularly carthaginians as they're very limited, no champ infantry and only champ cav through temples.

Excellent improvement, also maybe consider the Iberian revered monument, that is only 50 meters as well.

Is Historical some mod i ain't aware of? NVM I found it. Doesn't seem to work. Not even showing up as grey on the mod list

Wait

I played 3 games booming with the comm mod, alone with no enemy. no problems occured. I tried your wall cheapening with the athens cheapening hero and it could certainly change a wee bit about how you play athens, since you could theoretically spam out palisades in about 3 seconds

yes, he's asking abt the historical context

We have more units in historical that swtich back and fourth. Lead bullet/stone slingers Theracaian Peltasts

what do you mean? like why did we add it? or how do we use it with kush?

We will be able to do a new release soonish but I would love to see more testing and feedback on the current changes.

Tu dois pouvoir cocher pour reseau public aussi au cas ou ton reseau soit mal configuré. Sinon tu peux aussi checker les logs du jeu pour voir si l'upnp fonctionne. Sinon il faudra un port vers une ip statique.

@Stan, Yes, it's here with the name "pyrogenesis.exe".

What are the grounds for poison damage ?

Je ne vois pas 0 A.D. dans la liste.

Gurken Khan, I speak French. Here is for the firewall : Pour Windows Defender, je ne sais pas.

Its invention is attributed to Dionysius of Alexandria, a Greek engineer who worked in the arsenal of Rhodes in the 3rd century BCE. It wasn’t a crossbow in the traditional sense but used a torsion mechanism based on bundles of twisted sinew, and we only know about it from the description left by Philo of Byzantium, who wrote between 280 and 220 BCE. Philo recounts how one of these weapons was found and provided a detailed description of the gears that powered a chain drive to position bolt after bolt into its firing groove. This is the earliest known application of such a mechanism. The study published in the Nexus Network Journal focuses on a section of the northern wall of Pompeii near the gates of Vesuvius and Herculaneum, where the researchers, led by Adriana Rossi from the University of Campania, found and analyzed small holes in the stones. These marks are square or diamond-shaped and do not match the impact patterns of stones launched by conventional catapults. Instead, they appear to have been caused by arrows or metal projectiles. They appear in groups of four or five, as if the projectiles that caused them had been fired in bursts, something difficult to achieve with handheld weapons or traditional crossbows. The precision and frequency suggest the use of a repeating machine, the researchers assert, believing that they could be the work of a polybolos used during the siege of Pompeii in 89 BCE, when the troops of the Roman general Sulla conquered the city. Although no physical remains of the weapon have been found, the markings on the walls would match its historical description. To confirm their theory, the team used 3D scanning techniques and digital reconstructions. Through virtual models, they calculated the speed and force of the impacts, estimating that the arrows that could have made the marks reached a speed of around 109 meters per second, a rather surprising speed for the time. They also confirmed that the depth and shape of the holes matched models of Roman arrowheads kept in European museums. Why Shoot Arrows at the Walls? But why would the Roman army besieging the city have fired arrows at the stone walls instead of at the defenders? The researchers offer two fairly evident theories. The first is that they simply missed their shots—that is, they were aiming at soldiers on top of the wall but missed, perhaps because the weapon was hard to handle or simply wasn’t as effective as it should have been. And the second is that they were simply testing, practicing and calibrating the polybolos before using it against the enemy. In this regard, an episode of the popular show MythBusters aired in 2010 built and fine-tuned a replica of the polybolos based on Philo’s description, concluding that its existence as a historical weapon was plausible, despite being prone to constant mechanical failures. The team now plans to analyze more sections of the walls of Pompeii and collaborate with museums to cross-reference their findings. They also hope this discovery will attract interest to Pompeii not just as a city frozen in time, but also as a battlefield where Roman military engineering left its mark.
