I have been playing 0a.d. for some years now, but I never got to look much into the forums. I saw there are some total modifications, such as the addition of Asian civilizations, modern warfare and even ponies lol. But I'm really surprised nobody brought up anything about Empire Earth, and specially Rise of Nations. After all, the territories feature in 0a.d. is very similar to the one seen in RoN. So I want to know if you people would like this to happen? A total modification for 0a.D. that adds EE and RoN features. In my opinion its been a long time since this type of game was last released, being empire Earth III in 2007 (Though this one was a huge failure). Since then we haven't gotten to enjoy any other release of one of this titles. So, if there are still fans of the series around here, post about your thoughts. Maybe we can encourage the 0a.D. community and moders to try to make a mod of this scale and hopefully succeed. But that depends of this community, if you really want this to happen or not. So far, civilizations could be: Americans/USA Iberians/Spain British/Great Britain Romans/Italy Germans/Germany French/France Greeks/Greece Russians/Russia Israelites/Israel Turks/Turkey Persians/Iran Egyptians/Egypt Chinese/China Koreans/Korea Japanese/Japan Hindús/India A total of 16 factions, which is already quite a lot considering 0a.d. has less. When it comes to Ages: Classical Age: 0A.D. game setting. Medieval Age: Fall of the roman empire. Imperial Age: Early modern warfare age, introduction of gunpowder (guns and cannons). Industrial Age: The great wars period. Introduction of oil, electricity. First vehicles such as tanks and submarines. Modern Age: From cold war to today. Atomic energy (nukes). It would be nice if each faction had historical accuracy, though it should be balanced, so maybe some factions won't be very historically accurate. For example Italy has Legionaries while Greece has Hoplites during classical age. USA has AH-64D Apaches while Germany has Eurocopter tigers in modern age, etc. Each faction would be unique.The other option would be to separate the civilisations into 3 types. West, middle east and far east. These would share units, but would have unique units too. This would be less historical accyrate, but would make thinks simplier and more balanced. West : USA, Spain, Great Britain, Italy, Germany, France, Greece, Russia. Middle east: Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Israel. Far east: China, India, Korea, Japan. So far I have seen some problems with units like tanks, turrets don't seem to work correctly. But there are always workarounds (For example make turrets static, so you force the entire chassis to face the enemy in order to shoot.). Air units are not a problem either as there is a plane already in the game, but there is still room for improvement. I know how to 3D model and texture, and I have done some maps. But I almost know nothing about the game engine and there is no way I can push all this by myself, so that is why I'm looking if there are people interested on this around the community. WIP unit list: I - II- III- IV - V USA: The problem of the americans is that it is quite a ''young'' country, I don't know whether they should be Indians on the first ages or like the English as they were a British colony. This would require some discussion.
