Also a bit shabby video but I like to share this epic 4v4 game. It lasted 1-1/2 hours but uploaded for so many hours.

Does 0ad have a soundtrack compilation? I think if it has it should be posted in YouTube like this Dawn of Man soundtrack.

Np @sphyrth. Any comments are welcome. It will improve me. I’m quite disoriented with 0ad but I was just amazed with the quality of 0ad graphics and the music, and tbh a lot of features that’s why I just can’t leave 0ad easily and totally. Im not concentrating yet on very nice looking video but rather on helping to expose this game. In fact I posted it in DoM community forum. If I did not become a good 0ad player, I think I’m leading on the DoM as I’m the only one who can get past the most difficult modded DoM. Ofc because I am the highest number of hours played at more than 1.4k hours. You know I’m a crazy gamer. Though as in 0ad, DoM modders are also depending on what the devs have to offer. So I’m helping a couple of modders test their games before they finalize and make it public. If 0ad needs some testers on Mac, I’m just around the corner but I can’t go back to svn right now. @Angen I won’t forget your mod too. Ofc borg’s one also as it gives some more flavor to the vanilla.

Oh thanks for liking, and I was thinking of getting back some touch of 0ad. I forgot lots of it already when I tried to play it today and kind of becoming a rookie again. Probably I will do some videos when A24 comes out. This is the only way to contribute to this beautiful game. Btw I will ask permission from the modders if I can do video of them. DE, 0abc, mil AD and the rest. As I try to regain my touch I will concentrate on the single player first then probably the multiplayer later if I become competitive. I’m not sure if I still have some old replays that I can make videos. I knew I had a DE game which I built a very decent settlement. And a 0abc too. I’m not after monetary reasons to do this. Just for the love of gaming. I have sufficient time to do this but my gaming is divided between 0ad and DoM. Common players, there are more capable video makers here in the community. No need of those paid advertisers! In fact I’m really bad on pc thing but my setup now is just enough to at least do it.

Even without proficiency on making video, I will keep practicing to share my pc games. This one despite some erroneous narrations I just went through posting it. Bear with newbiness on video making This was my last multiplayer game in 0ad. And I already posted this replay before. Just some sort of advertising the game. I think my friend bbgotbanned played really bad on this game and keep on teasing his best friend Pudim. Instead of booming he could have doubled with landlord to neutralize chrtgr and game over. Making another CC to border push might not be a good idea on this case.

I think the key is don’t be shy and just keep talking as you said and gain more confidence. I found 1 0ad saved game which I already posted in the game replays and I will use it. When I replayed it back it feels so good listening to the music while watching. I think lots of 0ad players especially the pros can be of big help by doing YouTube of their very interesting game.

Oh I thin I can do it by running a saved game, at the same time use OBS and start narrating. I will try it. Tbh I had difficulty watching the pro games thru json.

But seriously I have so many 0ad interesting saved games that I want to post in YouTube but idk how. I’m using OBS. But I will try to find out. Somehow these saved games don’t lag when you replay it. Also I hope there are mechanics from DoM gameplay that might interest the devs.

You had mod something I think. One day I hope when I become proficient and for the love of the game I can also make my own 0ad YouTube video. Like this one, on DoM. Bear with me and tbh I’m not snorting something. A Filipino voice hahah.

I hope I can improve like @sphyrth someday and record videos. I’m trying some Dawn of Man and quite poor on everything including pronunciation and grasp of vocabulary I think @nani can do some videos too! He did one before and it was nice!

0ad has the characteristics to become one of the best RtTS game if not the best of all. Imo the direction and objective of development just don’t follow towards greatness. Mimicking AoE or AoM or whatever current games of the same mechanics won’t make it better at all. 0ad has to have a really unique mechanics to become a really good game. Whatever issue the dev team have, the progress is really slow. Only the Arts side seems to have a continuous output. Outputs that are just being placed in a storage because most of them can’t effect and not much needed in the vanilla. Multiplayer is fun not because the game is fun but rather the players are fun to be with and fun to play with. Other than that the game is about who click fast and precise, he becomes good. Single-player mode is nice in the beginning but in the later part it becomes so dry. When you and the opponent AI finished chopping down all the tress I feel like my base is a desert. Again I would say a realistic game is imo the best route to greatness. Dawn of Man might seem to be a simple single player game but it’s realistic features are the ones that make the players immersed. The structures are not as polished as 0ad but the mechanics is just a nice experience to have. It makes you think more than just clicking and spamming units. The chance of losing the game is much much higher than 0ad. Modded Scenarios game are abundant and some of them are really torment.

A little bit of interesting and I can say quite balanced one. Elite Team: Pudim (Gauls, bbgotbanned (Persian), Landlord (Seleucid), Micky 1181 (Iberia) Chrstgtr Lead Team : Chrstgtr (Macedonian), KIMINCARNATE 1316 (Macedonian), Dizaka (Gauls), servo (Iberia) Chrstgtr is facing Landlord on the west and Pudim opposite Dizaka on the east. bbgotbanned is closer to Landlord and a looming double is undeniable. I can say Elite team is a bit OP and from the very beginning it was obvious that civilization wise they are better with bonuses. Landlord raided Chrstgr and constantly doing it and kind of neutralized him. Pudim took some Dizaka"s women and slowed him down a bit too. At this moment it seems that our frontlines are in real danger. And as soon as bbgotbanned built a second CC near Chrstgtr border and send his rams while Chrstgtr is still in P2, then simultaneously Pudim begins attacking Dizaka things become unfavorable for our team. Pudim reduced Dizaka population to almost below 100 while could barely manage to defend. KIMINCARNATE sent his troops to partially quell the onslaught on the western front and I sent forces to Dizaka to at least slowed down Pudim. I slowly trained some firehorses and managed to help a bit on both flanks to destroy destroy attacking Rams while Chrstgtr is building sieges. commands.txt metadata.json

I understand the guy has attitude but it doesn’t help and continue to torment players with reports and ban just because of these rules violations. The winning players action/intention here to post is imo to just pick on the guy. This has been an issue for a very long time. If the issue can’t be fixed yet imo it is better to let it go and not put more fire. The multiplayer rated game must be automatically safeguarded to assure that players get or lose points regardless of the outcome when the game ends. A sudden game interruption and can’t continue to be played must just tally the score, then winner or loser is declared, if doable. If not then so be it, play another game after game and just have fun. When player/s plays a multiplayer rated game, they should understand that there are so many risks on doing so because the game or the systems or the processes is not effective or efficient of not perfect. Players can leave the game, internet or pc is messed up, or players have bad attitude etc. Things can happen on team games too but what can you do? Let it go and have another game and just have fun however it is! The game needs more players and no matter what they do, the game is being helped to develop into a better one.

For the current mechanics regrowing trees in multiplayer game is inconsistent. But for singleplayer will just add beauty of your settlement. The game is focused on a short period of time which you assemble armies to battle immediately. There’s is no advancement of civilization in this game over time. It’s just upgrading the combatants, and mobilize for battle, again in short period of time Trees grow for a very long period of time while units don’t get old therefore it doesn’t make sense imo.

That’s why I like to play it up to gunpowder or the most without stealth bombers and nuclear missiles.
