Cimbri/Teutones/Ambrones raiders could work. Marauders too. Otherwise, axemen, clubmen... It is possible for some of them to have a bear skin as a cloak, just avoid the bear head.

@real_tabasco_sauce An bare-chested Axeman that deals hack and crush damage? You couldn't be more generic than that, but they are barbarians, after all.

Ok @Genava55 do you have a possible idea for a raiding type unit? The gameplay design is somewhat focused on infantry mobility, so a faster, lightly armored, infantry unit is needed to replace the wolf warrior. i suppose we could go fairly generic and call it Crimbri raider or something.

Hello everyone, This is my first time posting, and this is also my first mod for 0 A.D. This mod changes how units are reassigned when a player is defeated. Instead of transferring to Gaia, the units now go to the next undefeated ally. I think this is a really interesting mechanic, especially when playing the Regicide game mode—where all of a player's units get reassigned when their hero dies. Let me know what you think, and feel free to suggest anything I should add! Check it out here: https://github.com/TobyDustin/0ad-refugees-mod I'm also trying to get it on Mod.io. If anyone knows how to do that, I'd really appreciate your help. Here's the preview link: https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/refugees-mod?preview=f5ab66257bcb802a72f07e11b3139287 Some screenshots:

I agree.

I can answer, even if I'm not nani. Very important questions - which eventually can be rephrased as "why use proxies?". I hope the rest of this post will clarify. There are various reasons, I'll just state the two I find most important. One reason is compatibility with other mods. Imagine two mods overwriting the same init function: then, only the last loaded mod will work, whereas the first loaded mod will not work - not nice for users. Additionally: if you develop a mod, you expect to develop your code based on options.js from the public mod, right? But if this file is replaced by some arbitrary custom file, you can never know if your code will work properly. In other words, if you want your mod to be compatible with other mods, then you should let the other files exist, and not overwrite them. Another reason is compatibility with 0 A.D. itself. When a new patch or version of the public mod is released, it may happen that options.js gets changed too, as part of the update. If so, you (the mod developer) must take care of replacing that file too, and release a new version of your mod with the new file. And you have to do the same will all other files that have changed... dirty job indeed! Instead, if you build your mod around existing files, your code will (most likely) work straightforward - without having to check for all files that have changed and replace them one by one. So, what does it mean to build around existing files? And what should modders do? Answer is: use PROXIES! Javascript Proxies (similar to Python decorators - I seem to remember you like Python) ensure that modded objects wrap existing objects without overwriting them. An example: by using a proxy, you can run your custom init function after, before or around the original init function. And this is exactly what happens inside options~autociv.js! patchApplyN is a brilliant example of a proxy: it executes custom code around the original init function in options.js. You can find another concrete example of a proxy for the init function in options.js here. Most likely, it is caused by another mod which replaces existing objects/functions/variables/etc. - and if this is the case, you can gently ask the author to get acquainted with proxies.

MarcAurelius is a prime example of how power corrupts people, thinking he is above everyone else because he can mute/ban people as he pleases. Please remove this guy from the team, his continued presence in this role endangers the very principles they were meant to uphold. He must be held accountable and removed effective immediately!

Done for you https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7929

There's an old patch for it: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4246

Something like this. (The yellow triangles in this high quality mock-up stand for a toggle button.)

UPDATE: Version 0.7.1 Disabled debugging. Fixed a bug when recruiting a large number of support units. The number would be around 60.

This bug is fixed in version 0.7.1

I don't think there was a specific troop wearing wolf skin and wolf head. Tacitus, Cassius Dio and Caesar don't mention it. The only place with a depiction of a sort of warriors wearing such items is on the Trajan column, but it is unclear if those are Germans or not. Those men are Roman auxiliaries in full armor, while the actual Germans fighting in front of them with their native weapons are bareheaded. Furthermore the current design is focusing on the Cimbri and pre-roman period. The berserkir/ulfhednar is mostly attested during the viking and post-viking period, in the Norse mythology and Norse laws. And nothing suggest they were a specific battle unit. So for the moment, leave them aside.

It's like AoE and empire earth.

It would be interesting if formations could sort troops from basic to elite and reverse. And wounded to healthy.

How does that work? I want to understand your idea.

Someone needs to make a PR. Meanwhile: standalone mod to get this tooltip : garrisonedInfoTooltip.zip Already in Moderngui too.

Great. Add it then. I don’t think anyone will oppose it.

Why not? The data is available you just need to display it.

Historical accuracy is important, so i'll leave up to you.

Thank you for the invitation, but I barely have enough time to play SP as much as I want to.

This is an arbitrary distinction. A unit that is 99 XP vs a unit that is 100 XP is functionally the same thing a second after entering battle. Knowing that I have 10 units that are basically promoted but not quite is much more informative than knowing I have 10 units of various XP at base rank. Yeah, you might want to know rank and XP for every unit. But that view doesn’t exist right now and this is frankly a low priority item that no one will want to spend time making. There can be bad game design. And eliminating a very basic distinction between good and bad play is without a doubt bad game design. ——- Anyways, you seem to be a SP reaching the end of basic play with AI. I invite you to join the MP lobby where you’ll learn and enjoy much more complex gameplay.

So what's the plan about it?
