That's awesome — you’ve got a really broad and ambitious list! Honestly, that kind of curiosity and openness is the best foundation. Even if you can’t formally learn Wing Chun where you are, just watching videos, trying movements on your own, and sparring or drilling with someone who knows it can still give you valuable insights. It might not be the same as proper lineage instruction, but it’s way better than nothing. Your plan to mix Tai Chi, Judo, Kung Fu, Boxing, Jiu Jitsu, a bit of Muay Thai and hard yoga is actually pretty well-rounded. You’ll build balance, striking, grappling, mobility, and mental focus. Just try to pace yourself — pick one or two arts to start with seriously so you can build solid basics before layering on more. And keep up the fitness work; it’ll make learning any martial art so much easier. Very cool journey you’re on — keep us posted on how it goes!

You mean, all military units, like in Starcraft 2? It doesn't exist because most military units in this game are also your economic units. You can assign a control group to your CS and use Shift+Alt while mousing over any new units to add them to that control group. Then, just use Call to Arms hotkey when needed to send them to attack move some area.

Hi @Bumek, one mod that aims to improve playthrough experience and does have the feature to select all units is ModernGUI. In this mod simply clicking on population counter select all units; and there are a lot of added clickable graphical elements that can make sens like this. As well you might to check Autociv that adds a lot of very useful hotkeys and options.

This is a common verbal attack motif of geriatrix. He does this so that he can have a martyr for his crusade against whatever player he is focused on. There need not be any actual reason for the player to have left or any causal connection between geriatrix, the “victim” or the person he is accusing. The main thing is to just not take a single thing he says seriously.

Greetings! I am proudly announcing my first mod: StarGUI. This mod aims to be a one-stop optimisation for your 0A.D experience, consisting of several other other useful and popular mods. It is a single zip file which is to be extracted and placed into your mod folder. I am still working on improvements to this mod and I am open to any suggestions! Please give it a try and reply below any comments

Feld is also a meme?

Hi, how to improve playthrough experience and why is there no option to select all units?

Memes never die, and neither do 0 A.D. players.

May be the Jack, but I laughed out loud for an unnatural amount of time. lol

When the support for up to 15-player team games is added

@king reza the great, regarding the cheats you mentioned I think people don’t feel guilty about using certain mods because they don’t see them as cheats, and I believe very few players actually 'cheat knowingly' using maphacks (which I assume we can all agree are cheating) or actually hacking the game sourcecode to exploit other stuff. But one of the biggest problems is that every time this discussion comes up, it feels like we’re starting from scratch, constantly forced to redefine everything or debate overly relativistic arguments that ultimately go nowhere (difference in hardware settings, fluctuation in player performance due to outside factors?? ). The essence of fair play in any competitive setting isn’t absolute equality — which is impossible — but a shared agreement on which mods/systems/handicaps, etc are accepted in a competitive environment and which aren't. The problem in 0 A.D. is that such an agreement doesn’t exist. And the current stage of development make it impossible for hosts to technically enforce their requirements — they must rely on trust, or manually review replays to detect automation or unfair behavior. That said, those who’ve read my opinions on this topic know I have a somewhat ambiguous position — one that’s unsuccessfully tried to bridge both sides. Given how completely I’ve failed at that, I’ll just say this: I’ve also felt frustrated like you, and only by letting go of certain ambitions — which I think are nearly impossible to resolve in the game’s current state — was I able to enjoy playing again, even with people whose views on 0 A.D. I don’t share. I even feel like the overall toxicity has gone down a bit. I miss your early cav harrass gameplay. There's so much ecobots like me out there I really hope you come back to play and enjoy the game with all of us!

It has been shown that 0zon is not FeldFeld, and 0zon has returned. Therefore the disappearance of Feld is completely unrelated to me. Evidence: Geriatrix thought that 0zon is FeldFeld and blames me for making Feld quit the game because 0zon disappeared for a few months. Now 0zon is back and the delusional accusations have been busted. However, we do welcome the real FeldFeld to return too. Furthermore, he had a grudge against Atrik because he thought Atrik is some yellow "deleted user" in a discord server. But after matching the chat history, it turned out that the "deleted user" whom he was picking on was no-one other than his "master" 0zon. I have nothing against neither 0zon nor Feld and I have not seen FeldFeld since the creation of this post. Case closed.

I had, for about four years, then we had to move back to Israel and then COVID hit and the visa expired and we just ended up staying. Cool, I have been a bit swamped but I will be coming up for air at the end of the month and will make an effort to get this done! Will keep you posted.

Because they present in all op games if i dont play with them i have to spec all time.

Hi. I mean the below cheats: Progui Select box for sniping Auto start Also i 100% disagree that a27 could decrease effect of these cheats. In addition a27 itself is a broken version with broken champs.

@BreakfastBurrito_007 why not stop spectating and start playing?

Because it doesn't exist? It's a theory made up by Geriatrix as an excuse to insult people and a pretext to ban those he doesn't like. This also doesn't exist anymore. That was A25.

Firstly, I am glad that reza-math survived the invasion against his country. Secondly, I don't know what he is talking about. I assume it's PTSD from the explosions, because his claims about the existence of cheats and his accusations against these individuals don't hold. Those who accuse Stockfish and Noobdude of cheating: can you provide just one piece of technical evidence to show that they are cheating? Could be irregularities in logs or infeasible moves in replays. @Stockfish is simply pro and the jealous haters are salty He has a life. @leopard any comments? If you still haven't realised, after 5 months, A27 has already patch up most cheats. ProGUI and ModernGUI have become incompatible and autosnipe lost to my manual micro. Reza you should read the source code and some forum topics when you have time.

well, you are claiming its undisclosed and at the same time, whenever this comes up everyone seems to know who the "cheaters" are. Which one is it now? Between map randomness, fluctuation in player performance due to outside factors, hardware used, time spent playing the game before this round, there is no "fair gameplay". That the autotrainer provides any statistically significant advantage remains to be proven. well, I cant speak for everyone, but I am not. I am trying to have fun and improve.

New Release Candidates are available for Patch A27.1 You will find them at https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/ with the -rc2- infix. New fixes (added to the top post): The Windows 7 support is fixed! A27 will be the last version supporting Windows 7, so it was a shame to have a bug in here. The engine version is updated, for better bug reports Two Unix build system fixes This should be good to go. Please test as much as possible, I am hopefully releasing this in the upcoming week (I'm thinking Wednesday 16th).

Undisclosed. Players who use automation mods, and presumably map hacks (I’ve never observed someone use map hacks) do not disclose this before game start, and avoid/ignore any discussion of this. I think fair gameplay is fun gameplay so I don’t play when there is a cheater. 0ad does not need to be competitive like an esport but the game itself is a competition (we are trying to win right?) so yes it needs to be fair by default. If any player could select a 2.5% handicap without anyone knowing it would probably make the game less fun. We’ve had this discussion so many times, everything has already been said but the problem remains.

@SeleucidsHey there, how are you? I see, it's just strange that I had both files, the updated one and the old version (literally 2 different files as if they were 2 different games) and was able to open these custom scenarios freely on Delenda (A26), and had no issues up until this point. The files are there (mods/user/maps/skirmishes), but the game is not recognising them fo some reason. I tried deleting A26 and repeating the editing process on new files, same thing happens.

So the short answer is: There is nothing to repent. Trying to have fun when playing a video game is not a sin.

If its so obvious who cheats and you have such a big problem with it, why do you play with them? Does anybody force you to play with the "cheaters"? And before you say anything, thats entirely different to as you can still play with like, 80%+ of the players who dont use anything remotely "cheaty". Also, god forbid people play a casual game in a way that brings them joy... Like, I play mainly with the historical patch cause I dont like certain imbalances in vanilla. Likewise, players that use an auto trainer probably do so because they dont like the clickyness of vanilla. I see no problem with that. 0ad has no real cheating, as cheating would be something like a "violation of competitive integrity by usage of undisclosed or unallowed modification", but there is not competitive integrity, since the game is not competitive (unless youre talking about 1v1s, which could be considered competitive, but in that case just dont play against the "cheaters"). If you want a teamgame you participate in to feel "competitive", talk to the people in the lobby, manage the players expectations until everyone agrees what this round means to them and then youll have a good time.

Why Don’t Cheaters Repent? I’ve been playing 0 A.D. for several years now. In the beginning, it was incredibly engaging and enjoyable — sometimes I would play for 6 or 7 hours a day. But over time, my enthusiasm has faded. These days, I only play one to three matches at night. One of the main reasons for this decline is the rampant cheating in the game. And let’s be honest — we all know where most of these cheats originate. Some people argue over the definition of cheating, so let me offer a simple one: Cheating is when a player has something that helps them gain an advantage, which their opponent does not. Tools like ProGUI or Auto Snipe are not just personal cheats — they benefit the entire team. For example, they can automatically send resources to teammates, creating an unfair advantage. Cheaters often respond with, “If you don’t like it, stop playing,” or, “Just install the cheat yourself.” Worse still, the developers seem indifferent. They’ve taken no real action against this issue and even allow these tools to be shared openly in the forums and mod selection menus. This has driven some players away. For example, Mari quit the game. I myself have grown disheartened. Even players like Breakfast have stopped participating in many matches due to the presence of cheaters. Some people naively claim these cheats don’t really affect gameplay. But I’ve seen it with my own eyes: how players like Nubdude and Stockfish became embarrassingly weak when they stopped using cheats — even if temporarily. I also saw how Leopard and H.herle became noticeably stronger after installing cheats — though thankfully, they eventually listened to me, removed the cheats, and returned to their previous level of performance. Lastly, I want to share a personal story. Two years ago, I used a cheat — hacked Autociv. But after two months, I realized that winning through unfair means brought me no real joy. So, I stopped. I repented. So here’s my question: Why haven’t the other cheaters repented yet?
