There is also the Profiler2 UI https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki/Profiler2 Although I'm not sure what'd you expect to see, as identifying bottlenecks isn't exactly simple usually

Hey @Emma Sorry I missed your message, you can get in touch with me as well. I'm available on most platforms in order of preference IRC, XMPP, MATRIX, DISCORD, SIGNAL TELEGRAM WHATSAPP and FB Messenger. I just took a pic in your portfolios and that's some really nice stuff. You could help improving the quality of the current flora if environnement art is something you're interested in. Otherwise we need a new germanic wonder I'm sure @Genava55 could hook you up with some nice references. Regarding 3dmodelling and texturing I'll be guiding you through it. I would recommend learning how to get the SVN version and checking out the art documentation. See https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/wiki#for-artists Let me know if you need any help.  

I believe the reason was that it was expected that people would always play the latest versions. This is also why there is only one folder for Saves, screenshots and mods. The game is totally portable though, (it doesn't care where it's installed as long as you have rights to that folder). Until the installer is changed to allow multiple installs, you can just rename the folder where it is installed. If you want each version to have it own mods etc, you need to run the game with -writableRoot. cc @Itms

Why is it such a pain to install multiple versions of 0ad?

@Vantha I think your idea around Carthago Nova as a tutorial is really good, but I wonder if this could be put in the framework of a larger campaign. Stories are interesting when they are character driven, and one of the most interesting characters around that time is Hannibal Barca, and as I see it there are 3 options: to have just Carthago Nova and miss Hannibal's story, to have both separate and risk being thematically repetitive, or what I like most, for the tutorial to be a prelude of a Hannibal campaign. The whole campaign wouldn't need to be ready for just the tutorial to be released first, it could later on be incorporated into the campaign when it's finished. Regarding how to narrate it, I was thinking about how the Mongol campaign in AoE II is done, the author of The Secret History of the Mongols (as revealed at the beginning) narrates it in cutscenes for each scenario. No cinematics, just drawings, which is how things could be done at first. I think movies like The Last Samurai are nicely told (historical accuracy apart), with the narrator (who takes part in the movie, one realising it at the end) saying something just at the beginning and the end, as an epilogue and prologue. The middle of the campaign would be like a movie, or Starcraft campaigns, for more immersion. Hannibal’s campaign would be the only one with a prelude (tutorial). In it, hints would be given to the player (checkboxes is a great idea, like StarCraft II), but not by the narrator since I feel that cheapens the experience (having some ancient author telling you to click here and there). So, I’d structure them like a book, also with a foreword and afterword (explained in a bit). Combining all these ideas for a Hannibal campaign, a foreword would briefly explain the contents of it, then as prologue a narrator with drawings could tell about Carthage’s defeat in the First Punic War, and the prelude would be the tutorial, starting with Hamilcar (Hannibal’s father) and Hasdrubal the Fair (his son-in-law) taking Hannibal as a child to Europe, founding Carthago Nova, etc. Then the main campaign would start with Hannibal in command, and end with his defeat in the Second Punic War, with many battles being interesting to have (I hope camouflage will be a thing in the future, for Lake Trasimene, and an ability of Numidian cavalry for Cannae). An epilogue would mention his exile and the later destruction of Carthage in the Third Punic War, that the narrator, revealed around this time to be The Histories author, Polybius, witnessed. An afterword would then mention that he’s remembered as one of the most brilliant tacticians of all time, that Rome would end having his monuments because they considered him their most worthy foe, and that later on the Roman emperor Septimius Severus would be born in those lands, being himself a native Punic speaker, to end on a not so grim note. I hope all this is somewhat relevant and doesn't deviate too much from the present plans.
