      0 A.D. Is Wasting Its Potential !

      By Grautvornix · Posted

      Well pointed out @Perzival12! To add one more: Actually, I believe all contributors are somehow fanatics - they devote a lot of time into progressing the game because it is fun and as long as there is even a community valueing all the effort it remains great fun. 0AD has a great (bullshit bingo warning ) "value proposition": It is free, it aims at historical accuracy where possible, it is beautiful (!), it has a game play that can be enjoyable and demanding at the same time, and everyone can contribute and modify it as desired. Try finding that combination elswhere. No, we are not aiming at breaking the gaming charts. We all want to have fun.   (sorry for the pathos, couldn't resist)

      In that case, 0ad is alive and kicking Yeah, you have to be here at least a year to start assigning criticism /j   I would like to quickly point out the following, obvious (but strangely overlooked so far) points: A: no matter what we do there will be trolls and @#$%s, that’s the nature of humanity. B: there is this strange idea that the game is only known to people who have been playing it for years and can “reach 100 pop in -7:00”, the number on new posts both on these forums, Reddit, and Discord (bots not withstanding ofc) tells me otherwise. C: this idea that FOSS stuff is often unpolished/obscure is becoming less and less true over the past year or two, FOSS games are a lot less niche then they used to be (partly because of the rise in Linux games lately). D: a quick point I would like to make is that, while it’s not necessarily true yet, in future months/years people will become more and more fed up with AAA and AI games, and turn more and more to FOSS projects. Just hang in there!

      Could we possibly make it compatible to 0.28? Or should lilypoppy's mod only apply to the next release 0.29? (which will be released sometime next year anyway, I hope)

      I could not find any evidence for clubs.  The warbands themselves are mainly attested in early medieval legal and mythological texts. Some of those stories are set in the 2nd or 3rd century but that does not necessarily mean the Fianna existed back then (although they migh be from a common earlier Celtic/Indo-European tradition). In any case the main weapons in the epics are spears and occasionally swords. A similar unit for the coastal fort could be a sort of Caledonian mercenary since they appear to have had ties to Ireland . They would have tattoos and fight with swords and small shields. https://europabarbarorum.fandom.com/wiki/Colgacilioi_(Caledonian_Swordsmen)

      I agree that I find this complex. And once I have my scenarios, how will it work?
