All Activity

Agree - but with the additional question (option to keep existing configs etc.) this would be just perfect.

My biggest satisfaction will be to see at least one of these maps in MP lobby. There is no problem to maintain them, I'll do it with pleasure. I only ask to admins to accept the mod on mod.io, so it can reach more players. Thanks in advance. I really really appreciate that. And now an update on the latest project: Asia 1024x1024. All textures are done. Now I'll add entities and resources.

Anything that can prevent an update from running needs to go; if there's a question along the way that's fine, but the dialog should point out the potential downsides. Right now I don't think the game is very good at that. If a user agrees to keep the settings/config that's nice, but I believe our default approach at uninstalling should be "Thanks for trying us out, we will now delete anything without a trace". Wouldn't want all kinds of apps leaving dead files behind.

OH YEAH BRIDGE ME DADDY

Thanks, I knew it! And sorry for the change in topic..... There was a lot of discussion in the past if walls protect at all except against direct access, i.e. they block movement but nothing else.As a consequence, you should ideally build your walls around your buidings/troops at a distance that exceeds enemy firing range (might cost a lot of stone). Would it be possible to provide walls with an aura that reduces firing range by some margin? (from any side, except if positioned on that wall)

The last sentence is very funny! It's implemented as what's the easiest to do currently. When the unit is on a wall, he has a state of being "turreted", this is what boost his defenses. When not, it doesn't have any bonuses, regardless of if he is behind a wall or whatever. The projectiles make their lives without ever acknowledging walls. For sure would be nice to have this enhanced. You are right that bridges might have similarities with potential bridges (entities, not terrain as currently is) about how we could build them. But there aren't anything supporting walking across them currently. Units don't walk on fields, they just don't get any obstruction from them, so they actually walk on the ground. So yes, not really a simple task to get this into the game.

@OutisWalking on top of walls along their extent while being a bit protected could indeed be an interesting side-effect. Which brings me to a (most likely stupid) question: A soldier positioned on a wall has some protection against enemy fire. I the same soldier is behin that wall, does he have the same level of pretection, more protection, or less protection? From my simple mind I would guess being behind a wall shoudl provide more protection. Most likely implemented as expected. Can anyone confirm, please?

Yeah I've updated the scripts and ported that mod to test. I need to publish 28.1 on mod.io

That looks very well

I use formations only to group my army better before the attack. Note that there are some serious bugs with formations. If you add an unit that is very far away, the entire formation stops and waits for that unit to get near. Also, if you attack move with the formation active, only some of your units will move in to attack.

About formations, I almost never use them because when you order your soldiers to attack the formation automatically disbands, no matter how far away the enemy is. It would be nice to either: A: make it so that formations must be manually disbanded, otherwise they fight in formation (at least some formations should work like this, like the Phalanx) B: units stay in formation until an enemy is in sight, then they disband (not historically accurate for most formations, like the Phalanx).

Wait, was this updated to R28?!

Git is trolling me again. Wanted to PR this fix for rally points errors. rally.diff @Stan` thanks for the port.

They shouldn't be deleted automatically. The uninstaller needs to ask the user if he/she wants to remove the config and data files. Maybe the user will want to install the game later, so preserving config is beneficial.

That long Sorry for the delay, should be fixed now (thx for the report) glad people are using it.

2v2 team game, playing as Carthage. Map is Corinthian Isthmus. 2v2_M_Cath.zip

I don't know yet, @Stan`If they already made it as a mod and are ready to maintain them, it may work out better in the long-run. For me to update everybody's maps that already exist in the mod every time a new version of 0 A.D. is release might be too much at some point. But these are cool maps, indeed.

I know you have OCD for formations,I just can't prove it that aside, this is a very smooth very nice movement of formations. I have a stigma against using formations mainly because of (obviously) that "dumb troops keep going ahead and die" bit also because the formations are feel so,so SO un-smooth this is also historically accurate,as one of the main points of wedge formation is that the one ahead will be the captain, and the ones behind simply need to follow his lead and move exactly as he does, therefore being almost instantaneous "command orders" of that era

I think we can look into the game Stronghold for some guidance or maybe ask them how they did it.

The prospect of bridges is great, but the prospect of walls you can walk on is awesome.

I didn't put much thought into it, honestly.

Screencast+from+2026-03-24+01-51-27.webm Would be nice along with some charging mechanics.

Dacians, Nok: Interesting facts:Based on my internet research, horses in sub-Saharan (Except for the Sahel and Nile regions) Africa only became widespread several centuries after our time, the other African civilizations either possessed scouts, heroes, and merchants with oxen, or they would be like those of America, with runners. ----If anyone has different evidence, please send it to me along with references. , Lusitanos.

darn AI, I love it as much as I hate it lolIt was supposed to be a Portuguese creature; I got the reference from @Duileoga. And yes, it has the skin of a feline from the Iberian Peninsula.

I don't think it was. Cc @vladislavbelov @hyperion
