Abolutely agree. Starcraft 1 graphics are perfection I'd say. AOE2 also cool.
I tried to reduce all graphics to lowest, but it very bad, like Playstation 1 graphics and also it seems it's not better for eyes. I don't enjoy playing 0AD like that.
Is there any mod to "change" models/graphics but without affecting gameplay and ability to play Multiplayer?
Hey Stan, I just tried changing languages in the game, although I cannot see what's written, I took screenshots to find where I needed to go. I tried multiple languages and reset the game a few time to see if it worked, it did not. I did the same thing with disabling GPU skinning (it was enabled by default as you said), and switched to the Vulkan rendering option (the last one according to the screenshots), unfortunately, it also did not work. In regards to finding a font for my locale, is there a way I can do that manually? Like manually downloading and putting a specific file in one of the game's folders.
I prefer looking at original AoE2 and AoM era graphics, as those just work for a RTS. Too much detail, and you get washed out or saturated assets that are hard to look at. Sometimes, it takes too long to recognize which structure you're looking at, which only amplifies the eye strain.
Just take a look at old AoM videos. The art style was amazing for its time.
@wraitii had some ideas on this as well. I do think just not stopping the units as in the second video is a decent short term solution. Typically, you are not often telling your whole army to do a 180° turn compared to turns of 90° or less. And even in the case of the 180 degree turn, the effect is not really worse than before.
It could go in com mod when i have time to put one together.
