haha they even talk about 0ad in the chat. interesting

Normally there is no official patches/bugfixes between releases. Last version we had the community-mod which is sort of an "official mod" that was intended to fix this kind of bugs and also balancing issues.  I don't know if we will have community-mod for this release. All these stuff depends on very few members of the community and sometimes it can't be hard to do the work. Keep in touch in the forum and there might be some news about these in the next months 

@ittihat_ve_terakkiBro you claim to be someone "actually playing the game" as if no one else here does, and yet what makes you come onto the forum is an issue like this? Have you not heard about sniping, champcav, booming/turling issues, fanas, and all sorts of other gameplay issues that we discuss. Definitely it seems that theres something extra bothersome to you about this change that you haven't mentioned.

Might as well introduce an option to spawn females/males civilians only, mix is the default in the "preference" setting. The idea is being able to satisfy old player base as well as future players. In my case I'm calling them Civilians nonetheless as they are the tags given in this version 28 and they are mixed now. Others call them "woman" despite the change and its fine, its a term for nostalgic players to indicate past terms for this new change moving forward as a tidbit in loading screen for new players.
