i need a T pose for example, to properly bake whitout having weird shadows over the mesh Alpha channel leg to avoid more poly's

I think it's a good thing that siege units are required to break walls. In fact, I support making building capture more difficult. The same applies to towers, which are currently too easy to capture—especially due to formation capture behavior, where an absurd number of units can overlap, allowing buildings to be captured in a very small space at an excessively fast rate. Building capture itself is not a flaw; it just needs refinement. It’s one of the game’s original mechanics, and we should stop trying to homogenize the game with others. Instead, polishing its unique aspects will make 0 A.D. even more distinctive. Yes, turtling is a valid playstyle (albeit a boring and somewhat lame one), and it’s already viable—you just have to execute it properly. I also think that making capture more difficult would make it even more effective. However, making walls cheaper and faster to build would only encourage this dynamic, which, while valid, would significantly harm multiplayer matches. It also depends heavily on the map. On closed maps with chokepoints and natural boundaries, turtling is already quite effective. On Ambush Nomad, for example, when playing with Wonder victory, turtling is very common and effective. So I don’t think it’s impossible—I just wouldn’t encourage it.

Thanks, much better in my opinion https://greenscreenanimals.com/footage/clip/1471/f/green-screen-video-of-chicken-walking-across-right-to-left I found a nice reference for an idle animation: https://greenscreenanimals.com/footage/clip/1468/f/green-screen-video-of-chicken-looking-forward-then-pecking-at-ground I'm not sure what you mean, I don't think you'd need a specific field of view for baking highpoly to lowpoly. But yeah, the lion could definitely use an upgrade :D

Agree. I disagree. Turtling is a valid playstyle like all other playstyles, and it needs to have place in this game, when executed properly. Right now it's almost impossible anyway, especially because we first need to fix walls. Walls are currently the only thing that's not capturable in this game, which means you need siege to break down stone walls effectively. Everything else can just be captured with overwhelming force of units, and that makes turtling nearly impossible. By turtling, I mean investing in defensive towers, Fortresses and CCs to expand, not camping in base amassing CS (what we do now, essentially). Towers are made of wet tissue paper, it's laughable how easy they are to capture. Fortresses are buffed in R28, but I still find myself capturing garrisoned Forts with masses of units. This shouldn't be possible, which is why I still believe capturing feature was a mistake. It just made the game harder to balance in the long run, and it has created some ridiculous tactics. Like capture+delete of building with 2000+ hit points and ~500 capture points.

Because upgrades are susceptible to change the proprieties of the production queue etc. So it is only supported to upgrade an entity that has an empty queue be right now, else bad things could happen. I project to make a mitigation for this and allow for upgrades to be queued regardless but not sure how this will go.

Isn't all other meat just a giant steak when carried?
-
Why can't I queue the upgrade?

Size comparisson:
-
well I don't think they have a long building time anyways

Happy Easter (two days late)!

I do agree though, that palisades are under used. I mean, historically most civilizations would probably build a palisade around their settlements, especially if they know there is an enemy near by. Lowering the time to construct them (they’re just stakes in the ground bro) and maybe adjusting their cost would make them much more useful. Maybe also adjusting their life and resistance so that it reflects their material and use case would also be helpful.

@wowgetoffyourcellphonegameplay wise, chicken can be gathered only once and carried by the legs so i make one animation of carrying_chicken/rabbit ? Small source of food but fast to get making chicken's a good hunting source to find around the maps by making them a reason to explore the enviroment early game.
-
i always wanted to sculpt a lion to replace current one wich is basically ugly. maybe i will use some of those as source to make my own, not to use them since i could bake directly and need an specific field of view to properly bake.
-
Maybe we could go into a Settlers (3? 4?) direction with roads, where the more units travel over the ground, a path starts to appear there. I know textures of the map aren’t editable yet, but maybe something to think about? It would also be interesting if when you build buildings closet together a road automatically spawns in between them.

Test-1

There is a mod where you can build roads and paths, the problems are really just that it becomes a lot of micro to build roads, so much so that your economy and military can suffer.

Whoaaaa Do me next

I just want it to be viable. I found the knock out drag out siege wars of AOE2 back in the day pretty fun.
-
idk. @Atrik made good improvements with snapings walls that will be probably in the next realease, and are cool. But boosting their building time or things like that. I guess is just a matter of tastes. I find turtling/defensive playstyles very boring
-
I think people will use them as-is if we can fix their rebuilding mechanic (placing towers at the end of wall segments).
-
You can't boost walls too much or you will encourage turtling playstyle, which kinda suck for multiplayer. Also, roads might be a good feature for a mod focused on city builder or a more economic, design city gameplay. For and RTS i think is a bit too much

@NationGamer090 I think this has been discussed, it would be a nice addition, but I think there might be problems with pathfinding. Palisades and walls already work like a painting tool (just keep shift pressed), so that shouldn't be much of a problem, I guess. Regarding palisades, I never use them, are they used in MP? I think they should be the preferred defence building early on, but seem underpowered to me. I think they should be faster to build: for Spartans, a house costs 150 wood and is built in 50 seconds, while a palisade costing the same amount of wood is built in over 2:30 minutes. This seems unrealistic, given that houses are more complicated to build, but none of that is really a problem, the problem comes if they are, on top of that, not even used because they are mostly useless. Or maybe people don't want to increase defensiveness in the game.

Leonidas auto-promotes, like citizen-soldiers do, to additional ranks as his "Agoge" bonus. Historically, he's one of the only Spartan kings to have attended the Agoge training program. So, his ranks are: Untested Heroic Legendary Mythical

Suggestion: Quick tips guide for newbies?
CheckTester replied to CheckTester's topic in Gameplay Discussion
My idea is to integrate this directly into the game, so that after 10 minutes of reading, anyone can understand what to do and how to succeed. This will lower the entry barrier for new users and immediately reveal the game's full beauty and diversity. I think this is something that's sorely lacking! And I truly believe this will help 0 A.D. grow its community.
