The RAGE... XDDDDDD

Hi @user1 , My username: zulthyr_ Offender: Valarr He quitted the game just as he wa about to lose. Here are the files: metadata.jsoncommands.txt

The best way to do this would be to remove loot in general and make units spawn (tiny amounts of) treasure when they die. Then one player (or both) has to activity gather treasure, rather than just gaining it for every kill.

Position: 3D Modeler and Texture artist Do you understand that Wildfire Games is a non-commercial project, work for 0 A.D. is volunteer, and work is done for free? Yes Do you agree to distribute all your work for Wildfire Games under Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license? Yes Are you sure you are not wanting to work on something programming related? (Then you don't need to send in an application form.) Yes Name: Emma Anufrij Location: Nuremberg, Germany Availability: I can currently contribute around 15–20 hours per week, especially during my semester break. In about six months, I expect to be available for approximately 10–15 hours per week, depending on my academic workload Age: 21 Occupation: I am currently a student and focus most of my time developing my creative and technical skills in 3D art and game-related content creation. At the moment, I am on semester break, which allows me to dedicate more time to contributing to the project. Skills and Experience: I have experience working with Blender, Substance Designer, and Substance Painter for 3D modeling, sculpting, and texturing. I am also familiar with Krita for digital painting and texture work. I am comfortable working independently as well as adapting to existing pipelines and artistic guidelines. Motivation: What motivates me most is my goal of one day contributing to the art and game industry in a meaningful way. I am eager to improve my skills, learn from more experienced artists, and gain hands-on experience by working on a real project. Being part of a friendly and collaborative community also inspires me to grow both personally and professionally. Personality: I am a thoughtful and optimistic person who finds joy in small details, deep conversations, and discovering new perspectives. Short Essay: I have always enjoyed playing 0 A.D. with my father ever since I was a young girl. I must have been around 11 years old when I first played the game. About a year ago, the game caught my interest again, and I started playing it from time to time whenever I had the chance. By coincidence, I recently found out that it is possible to contribute to the game as an 3D artist. That immediately hooked me, and I knew right away that I really wanted to become part of the project. Through my participation, I hope to build connections with other artists who are more experienced and have a deeper understanding of their craft, so that I can learn from them. I also hope to become part of a friendly and supportive community that I can give something back to over time. Interests and Hobbies: In my free time, I love getting lost in music, drawing, playing games of all kinds, and diving into personal 3D projects. I also enjoy board games and taking care of my little collection of plants, which always keeps me busy and happy. Staff: I do not currently know any of the staff personally. Community: I occasionally participate in online art and game development communities, forums, and learning platforms related to 3D art and game design. I also attended the Blender Conference in Amsterdam last year, where I connected with other artists and learned more about current workflows and industry practices. Favorite Game: My current favorite games are Shakes and Fidget, Life is Strange, What Remains of Edith Finch, and The Book of Unwritten Tales. Overall, I especially enjoy story-driven and atmospheric games, as well as fantasy and humor-based adventures with strong world-building. Work Examples: I have not yet had the opportunity to work as a 3D artist on a professional team project. However, I have included several personal and university-related projects that showcase my skills in 3D modeling, sculpting, texturing, and digital artwork. While I don’t have long-term professional experience yet, I am eager to learn, improve, and contribute to real projects. Below I attached a two pdf with some recent examples of my work: Portfolio-01.pdf Portfolio-02.pdf

The heaven ratio going down to earth. Blue is me.

Good evening everyone!!! I’d like to share some more updates about my mod World Rising! Let’s start with the flora I’ve created new trees, grass, and plants inspired by the Japan region, with the goal of developing a dedicated biome for this area. I’m also working on a Japan-themed map to fully support this environment. I’ve also finished the Jomon Culture Monument, and I have to say—I’m really impressed with the result. It was one of the most enjoyable assets I’ve created so far, both visually and culturally. Behind the scenes, I’ve made many adjustments to unit and building templates, improving balance and overall organization. My next step is to continue creating more trees to further enrich the Japanese flora. After that, I plan to fully finalize the Jomon culture. For now, enjoy some screenshots of the progress!

I think you’re spot on about loot and snowballing. Right now, it just benefits the player who’s already winning, and it’s almost invisible, so there’s no real choice or strategy involved. Making looting something players actively do — like plundering buildings or taking resources from the battlefield — could make it more fun and give losing players a chance to fight back. Snowballing isn’t a problem by itself, but when it’s automatic and uninteractive, it makes comebacks almost impossible.

I'd like to see this campaign make it into the game, is there anything I can help with? I've started to think about making a campaign too based on the wars between the Seleucids and Ptolemies and Maccabees.

Single player, you resumed from a save? The replays can't handle that. Supposedly one can merge the partial replays, but so far nobody was able & willing to tell me how. (And a botched frankenfile disabled the game for me until I deleted it with a file manager.)

I've tried to Watch Replay a couple of times after a game, and in both instances the same thing happened: my units do absolutely nothing and I lose the game. But that's certainly not what happened

LMAO Well, I did this:

Thank you, that you opened an issue https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8705.

@Atrik @Vantha this might be of interest to you since you now fixing code around formations and groups.

My man.... look at the date.

Indeed, they are broken...

It says is "one of the strongest units in the game," so good to know this. Did you tried Olympics?

Since I was told that “creating a dedicated post for a specific feature” is a good idea, as is including “diagrams or mockups to make communication with other community members easier”, I’m going to do that for my idea of how to better deal with selections, formations, groups and battalions, explained here: In summary, selections automatically define battalions, which override groups and can be disbanded by breaking formation, making all these concepts unintuitive and entangled, when they could be useful and independent. I proposed for battalions to be defined and selected with ctrl+alt+number and alt+number, respectively. I mentioned battalions to appear as a box surrounding group icons, but I’m going to invert that since battalions are a more “compact” concept than groups, thus icons will be battalions and boxes with labels will be groups. The following figures are edited, I did not code anything Figure 1: this is how battalions would look like, with battalion 1 for hoplites and battalion 2 for javelineers. Battalions must have exclusive definitions since their function is just to treat the battalion as a unique unit. Each would have the little flag, and the icons on the left are representing them with their number. A formation has been set for them. Figure 2: this is how 3 groups, group 1 for hoplites, group 2 for javelineers, and group 3 for all of them, would look like. The boxes around each icon with a label indicating the group they belong to are shown on the left. The icons themselves don’t have a number because in this example they are not part of a battalion. No little flags. No formation is set here, but it could. Figure 3: this is how battalions 1 and 2 belonging to group 3 would look like. A formation is set for the whole group 3. Clicking on the icons would select the battalions, while clicking on the label would select the group. The label is thinner but one could smash the cursor against the side, and when a label is there no sideways movement should happen. Right clicking on icons or labels would disband battalions or groups, respectively. Figure 4: same as before, but if one were to use alt+formation instead, for each battalion to acquire that formation. The same could be achieved by forming each battalion independently, but it would be slower, particularly when having a lot of battalions in a group. Figure 5: splitting battalion 1 into battalions 3 and 4 to better show the advantages of the previous concept. This is how Total War games work. It would be good if 2 digit numbers were allowed, not to run out of single digit ones (for group labels maybe they should be written vertically). Figure 6: now to something TW games don’t do, groups inside battalions. Battalion 5 has been defined for all units, with group 1 for hoplites, group 2 for javelineers, and group 3 for all of them. When a group doesn’t include the whole battalion its label should be shown on the right. This is useful to sometimes have different parts of a given battalion do different things, for situational flexibility. This is the last case, the following figures are considerations and variations of this. Figure 7: to show its versatility, this is what would happen if group 1 includes more units, mostly Skiritai in this case, and group 3 includes more units besides battalion 5, mostly surgeons in this case. Clicking on the label 1 besides battalion 5 could select the onscreen units from group 1 belonging to that battalion, clicking on the Skiritai could select the onscreen units of group 1 not belonging to that battalion, using alt would also select the offscreen units, and double clicking any group 1 label would select the whole group 1. Similarly with battalions, clicking once on battalion 5 with label 1 would also select the onscreen units from group 1 belonging to that battalion, but double clicking it would select the whole battalion 5. Edit 1 day later: I think better to forget this "alt" modifier and make no differentiation between onscreen and offscreen units (just like groups work now anyway) since it would be confusing with alt+number, used to define battalions. Figure 8: an option or alternative to have for Figure 6, show an icon for composition of the subgroups. This also increases the area for clicking them. They don’t need to have a number 5, because the parent already has that number, and it would be redundant, there cannot be sub-battalions, by definition of what a battalion is. There can be subgroups of subgroups, just that for now they would appear as new groups (just as 1, 2 and 3 appear here, 1 and 2 being subgroups of 3), but there could be another way I’ll describe at the end. Figure 9: an alternative of how to represent Figure 6. I like this more, but wanted to show more intuitive things first to be clearer. Figure 10: final figure, using the previous concept, with the icons for composition of the subgroups to expand the area to click them, and considering that more units, mostly surgeons, not belonging to any battalion, belong to group 3. With this fleshed out representation there could be an alternative way to represent subgroups of subgroups and so on, just by attaching them horizontally (vertical multiplicity of icons and labels for parents will also increase, but I doubt anyone would need so many subgroups). I hope this was clear and be considered as a possible way to comfortably use groups and battalions at the same time, and if there's a weird case you think this wouldn't work let me know, it would be fun trying to figure out what the representation should be.

Ah yes, it seems they did use tight formations, I mixed that up with what I read about the Iceni.

One idea could be a more beginner-friendly way to identify lag issues. There’s already the top-right message and the F11 overlay, but not everyone knows how to read the overlay.

This would be ahistorical.
