Here is my improved Mediterranean skirmish map, spent lots of time on this so hope you enjoy. mediterranean_diplomacy.zip

I think it all boils down to the fact that 0ad is a great game in essence but does not have such a great online community, a lack of willingness to try new things or enthusiasm to do anything but rush build, fight, win or lose style matches, take my roleplay discord for example, i started that with a lot of enthusiasm thinking people would be interested in trying it out but apart from 2 people mainly just one person the lack of enthusiasm has been saddening and has also resulted in myself losing enthusiasm to do it, not meaning the forums or any you guys of course.

Hi, I have PR #9291 ready for review for issue #3348. It has been ready for review for about two weeks. CI is green and the PR is currently mergeable, but I have not received any review comments yet. Could someone take a look when convenient, or let me know who would be the appropriate reviewer for the networking/OOS changes? Thanks.

Use Briton buildings and Iberian units?

Only issue is what civ to represent it Lusitanians were a different culture from non-indoeuropean Iberians and current Iberian civ is some Iberian/Lusitanian/Tartessian/Celtiberian hybrid. There is a mod with Lusitanians though.

Millenials were insulting each other on Xbox Live think it may just be a case of the game being less popular (or at least with that sort of audience) back in the day.

I dont think every generation is an exact copy of previous ones. So se some generations will be worse than others and in some cases it might be right (not the case regarding players of this game IMO).

Many years ago it wasn't like that, Stan once subtly hinted to me: "those people weren't even born back then". Now I understand what he meant.

The current youth of today is always the worst that ever has been, for thousands of years. There's plenty of "DJs" who play that record in every age, but of course Socrates is very prominent and reaches far back. I'm old and conservative, but you won't catch me selling you that evergreen as the freshest release.

tbh that was common in MP games for a while maybe its just the game getting more popular.

i dont know enough about society in that specific period to know if he was right. Might well be one of those recurring issues.

I wouldn't use Hibernia, what have the Romans ever done for them? Erin is a modern English form of Éirinn, the dative of Éire, which comes from Old Irish Ériu, still not old enough, but since it was just the name of a map maybe that wasn't much of a problem.

For this timeframe you could use the Roman name Hibernia. Or some earlier reconstructed Celtic form (Iuerion, Iuernion, Īweriyū).

@rossenburg The S1 will be a playable mission ! It is a way to showcase the project from a technical perspective to help other projects !

As for the voice-over and the promotional video, @NiRa Muso MIOZOTO @Nicolaus_von_Kues I’ve got that covered—pending the arrival of version 1. In the meantime, I suggest you keep doing what you’re doing—especially talking about *Burning Heart* and bringing people together. Thanks again! I’m going to gather some data to find out what people would like to see in a campaign.

I am actually not apart of the mod signing team, I think @Stan` and @Itms are handling that

Yes: it looks like there was a bug that affected OpenGL in a (beta) build of Sequoia 15.8.2. It has now been fixed in a new build. (The builds don't actually identify themselves clearly as betas at this stage in the cycle, as they are all "Release Candidates". )

No, it isn't separately accounted AFAIK and couldn't be displayed simply by a mod (if it doesn't do the accounting itself). What I did that comes a bit close is calculating the gathering rates (trickle and usual work) as mean over a rolling window in the autociv mod. See my last comments. So if you would like to know the trickle one could use that and stop the workers. If it is just out of interest and not a competitive game.

I guess you mean top-left corner? I just verified that: -Tricke doesn't appear in the "lower number" (it would be nice if indicated somehow, though). -If that lower number is one, then there's still someone gathering food somewhere, I think. -Killing or creating animals doesn't change that number, but gathering from those killed animals should.

I see it as the exact opposite: so many think the game is wasting its potential because it's painful to see that all the amazing work the devs have done (and I emphasise that before what's coming) is being used to cater an unrepresentative, yet habitué, group that wants a rushed game that's 3 times faster than the already competitive StarCraft II (production and research times as reference), and even use mods to remove all the nice graphics to have an advantage at it. How can those who appreciate history, graphics and good design in general not find that just ridiculous and sad? Last week in the challenge thread I read yet another example, where someone posted they don't play anymore because of the 100 pop in 7 mins, which is completely understandable (no matter those who react with a little confused face) since the game has been described here as "the Fastest Click Wins", and, again, a crushing majority of those who play have absolute zero interest in any of this stuff (well over 95%, since, for AoE2 at least, 80% are those who have played at least one MP match, and 90-95% those who do it regularly), but echo chambers are one hell of a drug (as is Redbull along those tryharder APMs). What is even more baffling still is that those who often make claims on what this game is supposed to be constantly contradict the Project Overview and The Vision of 0 A.D. documents (which, since I'm at it already, include the statement "strong emphasis on historical accuracy"). Just to quote the latter: "We need to keep our guard up and avoid these pitfalls:", the first point being "Fastest click wins". I'm really sorry, but your guard has been downed, breached and obliterated long ago then. Personally I see it as a symptom of the problem, I do wonder if by having SC2 speeds or similar those types would leave and retreat in disgust back to their mom's basements where they belong, along with (re)gaining more thoughtful players (I've even proposed to have "Normal" and "Competitive" Presets not to be so extreme, to try to keep all these players). At least I hope with your roleplaying community you imagine 0 A.D. as is should have been (again, according to its own foundational documents).

Hi @Asher - I just submitted LocalRatings_Suggestions, after some players asked me about how they could get it. Please have a look, and let me know if I need to change anything. It's my first time submitting a mod. Thanks.

Excuse me if it's off-topic, but do you guys see the trickle counted in your food income number in the top-right corner of the screen? I just started playing 0ad, and tested it by stopping all farming and gathering while having 50 various animals, and the lower number was 1, and it seemed like no matter how many animals I killed or created, the number stayed the same. Is it a bug, or do I not get some obscure OSS philosopy point? No mods on that test, v28

Otra instancia de "Escaramuzador" para cambiar, y es "Carruaje". "Erin" por alguna razón en particular? Los irlandeses le dice Éire, por la diosa Ériu.

Socrates agrees.

También hice un mapa estilo escenario, para ellos. -Lo llamo"Erin": ¿Qué opinan? Disculpen las molestias*
