Hi,
Thank you for taking your time for reading this.
First of all thank you for creating 0 A.D which I think is absolutely fantastic. I was always playing PC strategy games, starting with Warcraft2,
however now as a father I need to look at the violence aspect in them. 0 A.D is a fantastic strategy, which triggers an imagination of many ...including children.
Can you create a mode, where all blood will disappear and e.g. hunting will be more like farming, and feeding animals, rather than killing them all,
farming will expand, but hunting will be more about keeping animals, bringing wild animals to the farm and keeping them locked,
milking a cow, feeding a dear and keeping all animals ALIVE, so they can "produce" resource=food?
My son and I am sure many children out there are under strong influence of gaming. As a parent I try to minimise an impact,
however his interest in history is amazing, all the tribes and weapons. 0 A.D. however it doesn't only have to be about
killing everything and everybody on the screen, KIDS mode could turn this game into much less violent strategy,
where you can actually grow wildlife population, rather than annihilating it, make friends and still fight enemies,
but without all this blood marks on the ground everywhere. You could also add some english sounds to the game,
not just unspeakable words during battles, or some actions, so kids could learn something in the process.
This game stands a chance to become a epic Open Source including all history behind the armies.
I can help and add polish and english voice over for free. Just a suggestion.
However...
Can you add in 0 A.D a Low Violence Mode ?
Regards,
Dad, speaking for all parents out there!
