I second that!  For gameplay: casual single player vs competitive multiplayer versions are indeed two variants that equally need attention. If we have contradicting requirements, shoudl we consider making that configurable options (i.e. if single player is selected then the game behaves like this, and if multipleyer is activated, that the game is has particular other features). In this way we can avoid changing somthething back and forth, depending on the current status of discussion. As for the history discussions - these are absolutely fascinating! I guess everyone is learning a lot  - even we learn that many things can be disputed as the historical sources are contradictory, biased, scarce or even missing completely. This is the nature of the beast i would say naively. So, while I do appreciate a lot(indeed!) the engageed and excited fascinating discussions of historical details that are certainly not undisputed, I 'd also appreciate if personal statements can be avoided. Lets try keeping a gentleman style.

Hi everyone, I want to share a feeling and look for solutions. I follow many projects that are in development at various levels, and 0 A.D. is rich and alive. The only thing is that the history-focused and gameplay-focused communities create tensions, which in my view should come together around this beautiful project. Right now it only creates tensions, which I find sad. I'd also like to point out that there is no sub-forum dedicated to solo/history. I think it would be good to find solutions so that both communities can coexist together. Thank you !

Yes, I did that in my mod. The map shown in the photos is nearly twice the size of the "giant" map; I also had to tweak the engine to improve performance and ensure the AI can correctly account for all objects in the scene. I’m putting a lot of work into performance to keep the gameplay fluid, which has been a major challenge—I’ve been repeatedly reworking many of the objects to make them as lightweight as possible. Currently, the biggest strain on the map comes from the constant logging used to verify that the enemy AI is functioning correctly; once that process is complete, I’ll focus even more on performance optimization.

Hello my friend, I’m glad you left a comment. I haven’t worked on the water section yet; the only thing I’ve added so far is the sound of the sea and the waves. I still have a lot of work ahead of me—there’s so much more I want to add to the game. As for some advice on creating the splash particle effect when the helicopter hits the water: you should modify the engine so that the particles don’t follow the camera, keeping them fixed along a specific axis instead. You can then set up a point beneath the helicopter, and whenever that point touches the water, it triggers the splash particle effect. I believe this approach will work for you. Good luck!

Ok just realised. Native AA is an FSR 3 feature XD. Yeah I was wondering why I couldn't turn it on while rendering native.
