true, sculpting isn't worth the time. Sometimes there are nice CC0 models from museums on sketchfab though: https://sketchfab.com/search?category=animals-pets&features=downloadable&licenses=7c23a1ba438d4306920229c12afcb5f9&type=models

Good Morning, after playing this game for a few days, I thought that Roads and Paths would be a great addition. Road and Paths, (Stone, Dirt, etc.) could boost ground units and carriages, especially between allies. It would also look nicer, to have a town with some pathing, instead of just grass or dirt. As an alternative, it could also be done with a painting tool that would allow us to just paint roads and paths, that would not have a gameplay advantage, besides looking nice. Thank you in Advance Imran

New Structures, units and art for Mycenaean and Minoans:

It doesn't seem correct. The earliest account is in the Épinal-Erfurt glossary. Which is generally dated to the end of the seventh century. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Épinal-Erfurt_glossary "From the foregoing, it should be clear that Épinal-Erfurt Glossary was compiled in the last quarter of the seventh century, likely at St. Peter and Paul’s Abbey (later St. Augustine’s Abbey) in Canterbury, where the school of Theodore and Hadrian was established." - Herren & Sauer In Épinal-Erfurt glossary the mention I am referring to is the following: ‘conpetum, tuun uel ðrop’ So in this glossary: Compitum = Tūn = Throp. The three terms are equivalents. The Latin compitum was generally used to designate a cross-road during the Roman period, but Isidore of Seville explained that in his day, it referred to a place where people from the countryside gathered. And tūn/tuun at this time still meant enclosure, farmland or yard: the Laws of Æthelberht (L. Ethb. 17) show that "running into a man's tún" (breaking into his yard) was a punishable offense. At the best, it was used for estate. In this case tūn would have the same meaning that the Gothic thaurp. The meaning of throp in the Épinal-Erfurt is obviously not of village. So in the end, the earliest account for throp in Old English doesn't seem to designate a village but a gathering place.

I could try to sculpt but i don't have that much time, i would like to. but no time. Having procedural textures is better so you can batch bake multiple textures variations at once.

ah cool, that's a pretty straightforward workflow. I've been baking from 3d model to 3d model and from procedural texture to 3d model, but baking from a photography never came to my mind

do you have any warnings ? how many sound outputs do you have ?

bobbing head like pidgeons? sure! for multiple texture baking you just need to make another variation of the mesh (duplicate mesh) add a new material so your uv's doesn't get lost, and use another reference (picture) and adjust the uv's to the new reference for bake variations if its possible.

I, ve been installing and uninstalling OAD over and over in Lubuntu since a year ago and there's no sound at all

It's the wonder of the Anglo-Saxons, Church of Brixworth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Church,_Brixworth https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/22783-1000-anglo-saxons-all-saints-church-brixworth-wonder/#comment-336603

Which faction is that? Looks amazing, that monastery at the left is like from a picture.

I made an excel with all units For me is not because "it is difficult," but civs like Athenians or Spartans even they are really strong, cavalry is faster.

I love options as much as next person but that's more dev time too.

I like the texture variations, how do you make them? What would you think about adding this to the walking animation too, so the head stays at one place for a second, then quickly moves foreward and we get the typical head bobbing walk, something similar to what pigeons do? Same for feeding, stabilized head for a few secs, then sudden fast head movement, or some neck stretching and stabilized view looking out for predators? Anyway, great work already!

Sounds nice! But just side note nobody disagreed here we could make improvements , the issues has more to do with priorities, time limitations, and the fact everybody has own view on what would be best. This option exist but not sure to what extend it's used/customized by players. Maybe ideally we would have support for expanding tooltips to help make it easy to have both summarizing and exhaustive tooltips at once.

No. (On Windows) The game either reads C:\Users\YourName\Documents\My Games\mods or 0adInstallLocation\binaries\data\mods. If you run the game with -writableRoot flag, then it only reads the later. Mods installed through modio are in the former, unless you're using the flag. mods installed in 0adInstallLocation are only visible to that specific installation.

I'm with @wowgetoffyourcellphone on this one. I find the current tooltips show way too much information. Along time ago I even locally made some mockups revamping them, but I'm afraid those have been lost to time. In fact, I thought about using bars to visualize numbers like attack damage and resource gathering speed, which is still an idea I like. It would be cool to work on this, but for me it's a matter of time, I have so many things I'd love to implement, but they take time and I can't work on too many things at once. I genuinely hope, though, that I'll get to it eventually and I'd also be happy to review PRs for it. @wowgetoffyourcellphone, same for your viewer mockup. https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/6860 (I personally prefer icons, by the way, and it would also be nice to add an option to choose between reduced vs extended tooltips)

And, I forgot to say, doesn't give unfair advantages, quite the contrary, unfair would be to force a group of people use an UI scheme that makes things harder for them.

If we cannot decide leave the dicsion to the user! I like it.

Also, if some people prefer text and others icons, it would be great if both are menu options. This way @wowgetoffyourcellphone's improvements can stay under the text option, and if some day someone wants to do the icon variant, then that's added under the icons option, nothing is wasted and everyone is happy, I guess.

You can blame me This is actually not a mistake, it was a deliberare decision, which I was involved in. See the discussion in https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8062 The idea was to make the civilians' names more interesting, to change them up a bit for some civs and add historical flavor; most of the lower-class civilians in the Han dynasty were indeed farmers, and after all, the unit is best at working on fields. I was aware at the time already that this idea was not without its flaws and that someone would bring it up eventually. But I still stand by the decision, I think it's a good opportunity to reflect and teach what kind of people actually formed the lower societal class in those civilisations; and for me personally, that outweighs the oddities. And if you really need one to pick on, then please the "Carthaginian Artisan"...

Thanks for your reply guys. My G: drive doesn't have a Documents folder. Should I make it?

My non-scientific ahistorical assessment: People on the lower end of society were always somehow farmers and sometimes ordered to do lumbering. I am not sure if in these times specialized professions were so common (like lumberjack, other probably) Don't take my assessment serious, please.

Should be good now.
