Yeah, that was the thing. As I understand it wfg can't just let any bots run on the lobby. Uff was honest about his bot, but it wasn't approved (yet). I can understand that some boundaries have to be set e.g. to avoid adds, spam etc.. But I liked uffs host. I can also understand that it is not so attractive for a developer to have everything approved of the ideas one wants to try out. For me, I would appreciate such a host in combination with a fast automated pairing system like the LocalRatings Team-Balancer Mod. The hoster could build up a better database than I could by only manually spectating and playing games. This way one could also experiment more with parameters of the pairing system.

I have some machines which can be used as dedicated servers for 0ad, but I am not fully sure how to achieve a constant lobby presence. Also how to handle the end of a game session  If you are willing, we can work together to pull this off. I can commit my main account to host for people while I'm sleeping. This does not breach TOS as there are no bots (in the sense of xmpp bots) inside the lobby and there is no use of multi accounts. I have seen some promising progress from sanafur who was automating his host largely yesterday evening. Players can allocate themselves and start game by typing commands so that sanafur doesn't have to read the chat and do things manually. It's a good starting point and people with the resources can carry on  

Hello @Red Wolf thanks for your suggestions.  1) The one can be good, but its a copy paste from age of mythology eheh. But its useful. Frankly I don't need and the system of notification is quite ok for this situation already. 2) I disagree because house are not so hard to manage already. And the wood need is already low. 5 and 10 population by house is enough. If you want Carthage has house with 20 population for a extra cost. 3) Agree, options are always nice. 4)There is some mod for change this info panel already, you can find them, I have no opinion on this idea 5) I don't know really theses formation but i suppose they have a difference so i'm against your proposition. But we should change the UI for hide some formation we never want to use. 6) Frankly it's actually quite ok but we can always improve. So why not change the color text yes. 7) Hmm I didn't understand, but maybe use alt for select only unit military.  8) Ctlr right clic don't work? should be exist so I agree witht he fact to garnison animals in corral. But in same way of other garnison, so with the usually keybind. 9) It's exist, ctrl 10) Sure but only for iberes! 600 metal 600 wood, a tech in castle. 11) Not often, why not, but not priority.. We can make the difference with the map 12) Actually, you can move your unit how you like and do a good shapes. its nice actually i think 13) Against, risk of abuse lol, if you are focus you don't make mistake, but yes its annoying and take some seconds. 14) yess 15) why not 16) button not exist but keybind exist already so not really need

you can always garrison the wall towers for them to shoot I think + the possibility to put ranged units on the wall itself.

This biome would be ideal for that region: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8214 - except its not in the game yet. I designed it specifically with the dry regions of Southern Iberia in mind. Would be great to get it merged soon. @wowgetoffyourcellphone
