Ah yes the glorious Battle Realms

I totally agree, shame I can think of the countless villagers that will get mauled to death because of a charging wild animal, like aoe2.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Hi, I don't know if this will be much help, but try googling Rome Total war, Huns faction emblem or Atilla total war huns emblem. I am not sure if that is what design you had in mind. Also it would be great to see this faction in Millennium AD, since it would really fit in, IMO

What if we make the movement speed of heroes much slower, that way they can't raid very efficiently, but are still good in combat

Why don't we reduce the movement and attack speed of the ram, so it would take longer to destroy buildings and suspectible to other units

You are right, one has to be agressive to have the upper hand. That is exactly why I prefer single player over multiplayer

@stanislas69 wow,I really loved settlers 5 also, the gameplay, the detail and even the storyline! I loved that one could build such an amazing town and also that there was fairly good combat too! I would personally love to see a battalion system similiar to that game in 0 AD (even as a mod). In my opinion the later settlers had nice town aspects but horrible combat

@macemen For games like 0 ad my personal preference is more of a relaxed, build right to the last age kind of gameplay. For rushing and extreme micro, I love games like battle realms! Battle realms was a great quick game with in depth micro and abilities If you like rushing and more interesting micro, then I would highly recommend battle realms, I think you can get it on gog.

Thanks I will take a look

@The Undying Nephalim will you implement battalions like battle for middle earth or the total war series? If you do this, will it cause less strain/lag on the engine (especially during huge battles)?

Hey guys! If battalons or squads are implemented (similiar to Battle for middle earth), will this reduce the path finding strain on the engine? (Hence less lag in big battles)

@Astrid you are welcome! Yes 0 ad is much better! @wowgetoffyourcellphone I completely agree.

Yeah good idea Haha

@Astrid no I have not played that game, I will definitely try it, as I love mount and blade lol. The Hyrule mod is really great, I didn't think I would like it at first but it is really well made and has interesting features. Okay guys I agree this thread has gone off topic. Nice chatting with you Astrid.

Okay thanks

@Imarok Sorry if this sounds stupid, but I don't know how to add my question too the wiki?

That's good, will do so

If I may ask, once the game is in beta phase and it moves to steam, will you still put a non steam version your website for those without steam? Because some people do not like steam or buy from elsewhere. Battle for Wesnoth has both a steam version and non steam version. Perhaps this should be a question, " Does this game have mods? Yes, the game has a built in mod downloader and installer, there are several active mods at the moment, the game is built with easy modding in mind. "

@Astrid Good to hear that AOM is well liked . Exactly, people act like you are crazy if you suggest that giants could of lived in the past and today, also I believe dragons were dinosaurs, I also don't believe in evolution, so some people act like you are stupid are you believe something different. Age of Empires 3, one of my favorite games as a teenager, indeed, I love colonial history, it reminds me of South Africa's history. I will definitely try expeditions conquistadors and expeditions Vikings, it sounds interesting. Sad to hear that, the Irish guy's mum was so closed minded, although it is great that you married the guy of your dreams instead lol. True the pony mod is adorable, indeed baby animals are so cute, one of my cat's is a minature cat and is still the size of a kitten, even though she is 7 years old, she is so cute! Have you tried the "Hyrule Conquest" mod for 0 ad? I wasn't even a Zelda fan before but that mod is amazing!

@Astrid I would love it, if someone made a mythological themed mod for 0 AD, that would be amazing!

@Astrid true, one should think of other people and help where we can. Yeah everybody has something they are great in or love, I had a feeling you would like AOM, it is an amazing game. Haha yeah the Northern Ireland accent is great, very manly\rough. True, some aspects of AOM, like giants, dragons and some other things are not fantasy things, but stuff that have existed at some point in the past. A fair amount of mythology is based on real events, for example the sacking of Troy was proven to have been a real historical event, who knows what else really happened but are considered as just myths today.

What about a ram limit? With maybe one added per an age? Perhaps a limit of 4 or 5.

@Astrid it's nice to hear that your family and country worked to get where they are now! Yeah I cannot imagine life without God, it would feel empty for me . I highly recommend Age of Mythology, it is similiar to 0 AD and age of empires, but with Greek, Egyptian, Norse and Atlantean mythological units in addition to regular soldiers, also a deity system with deity powers! It has a nice campaign too. That's a great game list btw . Exactly different accents are very interesting!

@Astrid have you played Age of Mythology before? The Mythology in that game is real interesting!

My first name is Caleb, my second one is Raoul ( french verison of Ralph/Rolf) . We are like fourth or fifth generation South African, I believe our family has been in South Africa for over 100 years. We are completely westernized in terms of culture, leaning more towards English culture than Afrikaans culture. We are Christians, very conservative and we belong to a rather conservative church, that is why we know a fair amount of conservative Germans.
