I see it as the exact opposite: so many think the game is wasting its potential because it's painful to see that all the amazing work the devs have done (and I emphasise that before what's coming) is being used to cater an unrepresentative, yet habitué, group that wants a rushed game that's 3 times faster than the already competitive StarCraft II (production and research times as reference), and even use mods to remove all the nice graphics to have an advantage at it. How can those who appreciate history, graphics and good design in general not find that just ridiculous and sad? Last week in the challenge thread I read yet another example, where someone posted they don't play anymore because of the 100 pop in 7 mins, which is completely understandable (no matter those who react with a little confused face) since the game has been described here as "the Fastest Click Wins", and, again, a crushing majority of those who play have absolute zero interest in any of this stuff (well over 95%, since, for AoE2 at least, 80% are those who have played at least one MP match, and 90-95% those who do it regularly), but echo chambers are one hell of a drug (as is Redbull along those tryharder APMs). What is even more baffling still is that those who often make claims on what this game is supposed to be constantly contradict the Project Overview and The Vision of 0 A.D. documents (which, since I'm at it already, include the statement "strong emphasis on historical accuracy"). Just to quote the latter: "We need to keep our guard up and avoid these pitfalls:", the first point being "Fastest click wins". I'm really sorry, but your guard has been downed, breached and obliterated long ago then. Personally I see it as a symptom of the problem, I do wonder if by having SC2 speeds or similar those types would leave and retreat in disgust back to their mom's basements where they belong, along with (re)gaining more thoughtful players (I've even proposed to have "Normal" and "Competitive" Presets not to be so extreme, to try to keep all these players). At least I hope with your roleplaying community you imagine 0 A.D. as is should have been (again, according to its own foundational documents).

Hi @Asher - I just submitted LocalRatings_Suggestions, after some players asked me about how they could get it. Please have a look, and let me know if I need to change anything. It's my first time submitting a mod. Thanks.

Excuse me if it's off-topic, but do you guys see the trickle counted in your food income number in the top-right corner of the screen? I just started playing 0ad, and tested it by stopping all farming and gathering while having 50 various animals, and the lower number was 1, and it seemed like no matter how many animals I killed or created, the number stayed the same. Is it a bug, or do I not get some obscure OSS philosopy point? No mods on that test, v28

Otra instancia de "Escaramuzador" para cambiar, y es "Carruaje". "Erin" por alguna razón en particular? Los irlandeses le dice Éire, por la diosa Ériu.
