If they come and post Instagram-style photos or stock photos, you can tell it's a bot. And they look more like ( like celebrities) models and they don't look like people like us who aren't, you know, models. Artificial intelligence is not yet capable of doing many things due to Moral limitations. You can ask it to have a coherent conversion or a moral dilemma and with that we already discover if it is a bot

Macedonian shield bears own Spartiate's.... yes spartiates get more lvl 250 vs 220 with their tech, but the extra 3 dmg they get is enough to off set that. Skiri can be OP mid game, if used well... but out side of that, its really brasidas and skrimishers with hoptlite meat shield... I am fine with spartans lacking some of the flexibility of other civs... but at least spartiates should be more effective since they were at the core of spartan life and success

Hi @541ky, welcome to the forums. You do realize this is a FOSS project?

Some more thoughts in this recent thread:

thanks! I just dont know if i can wait that long

Nah it would be good, but I don't know if it can nor how to do it with the current forum software.

It's probably gonna get worse as AI becomes more mainstream.

@Stan` if the bots are becoming like this one, it is going to be tough

First message on the forum, to talk about a pay-to-win mobile game with a suspicious account name and a shutterstock profile picture?

https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Alpha27 lots of stuff for sparta including unique techs designed to boost the spartiate's stats. Also they promote into a stronger version called "olympic champion" Also, we made agis a much stronger hero like he used to be but also gave him a passive metal discount for units.

I really like this game. I spend about 6 hours a day playing. I find the game rise of kingdoms quite good and full of strategy

Is my idea bad or impossible to implement?

Does anyone remember the day when sometimes when loading game it would say spartiates the strongest infinitry in the game? THAT is such BS! Now I only tested against mace.... but even with Leonids 50 spartiates lose to 50 of mace spear champs and definitely 50 sword champs. When are spartiates gonna be useful? They should at least do as much dmg as mace spear, or have more armor? Maybe even be as fast as nake fanatics. Spartans are maybe the ONLY civ that dont have useful champs IMO... Way more effieent to go skiri and skrimishers with OP Brasidas. Thoughts? I heard there may be improvements for A27... not sure i can wait that long! What about teaking them in com mod?

Indeed, for there is no longer a "gui/common/setup_resources.xml" file, but an entire folder instead. Just one example. And then, how and what to edit in the listed files? Just says to edit them, but not in what way or which lines.

Sounds like a valid UX issue indeed.

I believe they are saying the docs might be outdated rather than a bug in the code itself. They added a new resource following the docs, and some information was missing, causing errors.

@user1 My lobby username: ashishantil Opponent: totomas He was the host of the game, and when I destroyed him with consular bodyguards and took his cc and wonder, he just quit the game without resigning. Thank you! 2024-05-03_0003.zip

Interesting. Wonder what's up with the jpeg artifacts. Probably he should have credited us but seems hard on that website

Carthage 5: New Friends After departing Crete, you continue to sail West, in search of a new land to settle. A storm is ahead and you take the small fleet north on the coast of the main continent, in lands you know little about. upon making landfall, you are greeted with dignity by an Italian tribe who are happy to resupply you -- but they need help themselves. Their land has been under pressure from Celtic tribes and they ask for your assistance in defeating them. You have a feeling your relations with the Italics will last for a long time and as you need allies, you agree. Your objective is to assist the Italics with destroying the Celtic settlements in the region. There are three of them, two to the south-east and one directly to the east on the shoreline. Beware of sea raiders. AI Settings: Celts (enemies) and Italians (friends) should be Petra AI with a difficulty of your choice. All others should be Sandbox.

Would you please be so kind and open a ticket (and maybe submit the patch)? I don't feel able to write a ticket description for you as I don't understand which path exactly you mean (paragraph quoted below).

There is now a ticket for that: #6918.

I think some infoscreens while loading are outdated. For example the iberian fireship is only effective against ship, not against harbours, as ist was. But strongest Infantrie unit is true with the agape technology, which can be explored in the military cantine. Then they go to 250 health, with a penality in training time. Silver Shild only yield 220 health. The spartanian hoplite with +10 health bonus is also pretty strong for citizen melee units. With rank they upgrade from 111 over 138 to 172. They also get stronger from 3,0/ 2,5 hack/pierce damage to 4,3/3,6. Their resistance increase from 5/5/15 to 7/7/15 (hack/pierce/crush). No forge upgrade. So they get really cavaly killers. With the hoplite tradition they are much more likely to reach a rank in gameplay compared to other melee. Albeit the potolomies pikeman, when ever they get rank promoted with 157 health and the Ptolomy IV Champion bonus +40% health, they end up with 219 health having pretty good resistance, they become tough to fight in the champion aura. What I do miss on the spartaniens is chamion cavalery, or a replacement. The Siritaki can gather, but like all promoted units their effectiveness goes down. Wood chopping rate of 0,37 for example is little more than half of woman wood chopping. So best they are used for building/repair. When I started with 0.ad Version 0.24 spartans had two special buildings. The stoa and the royal stoa. When you look into the scenario "Laconia" you can still see them because player 1 is starting with each one of them. Albeit.... they are both called "stoa", and not much of use now (okey you can garnison any unit in the royal stoa, this is good when under attack, and they are pretty). They were able to train Thracian Black Cloaks ( see Macedon), as soon as you get into phase two. I really liked that feature of the spartanians. The black Cloaks saved my ass serveral times when I was fighting computer AI on alpha 0.24. Generally it seems to me units were more different those days. From my remembering their walking speed was like the naked fanatics of the gauls. Nowadays they are like all other chamion melee, except for fanatics.
