Creating mods about exactly that, advancing and developing things normally within the limits of what is expected in a game, besides that I disagree about map sizes, normally the maps in 0ad don't go to maximum capacity of the engine. Wait and see, don't say something is impossible unless you've already tried it and seen that it really isn't possible. In that case, it would be interesting to hear about their experiences and gain some knowledge from them.

I dont think 0AD engine is well suited for 21st century warfare. Maps are too small and 21st warfare is way more complex than 0AD warfare. You'd have to add drones (both recon and suicide) that means implementing some degree of AI behaviour + jamming mechanics + an implementation of data-link. Weapons like heavy artillery (CEASAR, HIMARS) would be : 1 very hard to balance, 2 not well suited for such smalls maps (portable mortar would be ok i guess). Also you'd have to think about AA defences, radar mechanics, MANPADS, and "modelling of missile behavior" --> implementing some simplified state-space model + control laws like in War Thunder. etc etc... Maybe what you can do is focus on late 20th / early 21st century asymmetrical warfare like the French war in Mali ? Or do a CQB based mod (which implies huge assets developpement) like 6 Days in Fallujah

i watch reply and same 50 champs at front and and 70 archey at back, same with opponenet at the end, kill all, around 100 kill on 20 death. how he did that?

Thanks

Infantry fighting vehicle on the move A quick update on The Great War mod regarding tracked combat vehicles: as someone who values detail, I prioritize realistic movement. The models now kick up dust and smoke from the ground, leave track marks on the terrain, and of course, feature a powerful, aggressive engine roar. Recording 2026-09-23 144500.mp4

A good starting point is to download a mod, analyze what each component does, preferably using Visual Studio Code or a similar program, understand the folder structure, the XML standards, image formats, etc.I have good news, we have a community mod started by Stan about World War II using models from another open-source game.https://github.com/0ADMods/pyrogenesis-1944 That would be a great start; download this mod, update to alpha 28, and try getting the French Civic to work, for example. We have manuals for mods, and almost all questions have already been asked in the forum, which is a good place to do so, but if anything new comes up, feel free to ask here. Also, as mentioned above, there are now AIs are relatively good at small tasks for the average user, but I advise understanding them beforehand.

I’m honestly not an expert developer myself and rely heavily on AI for reference, so if you have specific questions, AI can provide quick answers, alongside the advice you get from the forum, of course. This mod is still in its early stages, so I’m not sure how successful it will be.

Hello, good work. I got attracted by 0 A.D. because of modding capabilities. I want to bring to life a project I did for a game called Rusted Warfare RTS. It is about WW2 and i think everything I need is possible in 0 A.D., without several limitations on the engine and liceses I had in the previous game. The thing is I am strugling a bit with modding, as there are not clear or complete guides nor tutorials for modding the game. I tried to ask where to start before in this forum, but responses were not very helpful... I would thank you a lot for any help.

I have been inspired by you.

Definitely the best choice.

Technically speaking, this mod focuses on the 21st century, the present day, though it prioritizes gameplay over historical accuracy or realism. The factions are fictional, albeit inspired by real world counterparts. If this mod proves successful, I plan to develop subsequent mods set in the gunpowder era. While those would be technically much simpler than this one, I would hope to incorporate historical consultation for them.

In what historical period, as in exact years, do you want to focus?

It's too early to say. I'm not sure when the mod will be fully functional.

I have ideas regarding factions and units, but nothing specific yet for buildings and technologies. I am the one who developed it.

Where do you download this? Is this for r28?

@EilatDo you already have an idea regarding units, faction profiles, and that sort of thing?

I drew significant inspiration from popular titles and leveraged my own experience in photo and video editing, alongside the indispensable assistance of AI.

https://analelebanatului.ro/en/view-article/320/ Seems to be arguing for the temples being granaries, but does not seem to be consensus. This other article was apparently refuting the granary theory. https://analelebanatului.ro/en/view-article/289/

Good job on creatively using the layering system on the main menu.

By the way, there's no issue on Gitea for this yet as far as I'm aware. Would you mind opening one?

We already have two types of sligners. Regular stone and lead bullets. And Baleric and Rhodian have their own boost based off those parent tempaltes.

For slingers you could for sure give the elite ones with lead/clay bullets more damage and range than militia or tribal units with stone projectiles (EB2 does this). Any more skilled unit would also probably fire a bit faster. Does this game have accuracy mechanic? i think some of the Scythians in the DE mod dodged projectiles at least.

This is what we did with heltos: Helots have 25% less range, wider spread, and 10% less damage than normal citizen infantry, but the same gather rates as civilians. They have 75 HP and cost only 40 food and 10 wood or stone. They do not receive forge techs. But yes it doesn't make as much since for other Greek citizens fighters since they were still free citizens. Maybe their ranged units should just take a little longer to promote than other ranged units. And then when you combine that with hoplite tradition, you realize their infantry, hoplites in particular are a little move "valued" in their eyes.
