Hey guys, Anyone here using tech tools to make construction estimating easier? I’ve mostly been doing everything in Excel. It works fine for small stuff, but once the job gets bigger or the drawings change a few times, it gets pretty messy. I keep seeing new software out there that claims to speed things up or even pull info straight from plans. Not sure what’s worth trying though. Some people say cloud apps are better, but I don’t want to waste time on something that’s more confusing than helpful. Biggest problem for me is handling constant revisions. That’s where I feel like a proper tool could actually save time. I came across Construction Takeoff software and it looks promising, but I’d like to hear from folks who’ve actually used something like that before I jump in. What’s been working for you all? -
Great point! Choosing the right software really comes down to balancing features with affordability. For many contractors, accurate budget estimating is the most critical factor because it directly affects profit margins and project success. Tools that provide cost databases and automated takeoffs help save time while ensuring expenses are tracked correctly. -

Here's the translation: Hello, friends! I'm excited to share more updates about my mod, Worldrising. This time, I've made significant progress on the Japan map, which I'm developing with great care to bring an immersive and authentic experience. My goal is to create specific missions for this map, making gameplay even more strategic and engaging. Additionally, I'm exploring the possibility of implementing cutscenes to add depth and highlight important game moments. If anyone has experience or tips on creating cutscenes in mods, I'd be grateful! I've also created new structures, reworked units and buildings, and adjusted various parameters to balance gameplay. I've implemented technologies and upgrades tied to structures and units. For example, when advancing to the 2nd Era (Polished Stone Era), villagers are automatically updated and gain access to new constructions. Existing buildings, like houses, also evolve through technologies. I've created many new props and textures and refined some existing ones. Check out some images below and share your comments, suggestions, or tips! Challenges I'm still facing: Structure animation: Gatehouse animations appear lying down in-game, while they're upright in Blender. I've tried repositioning the wall, but the animation ended up inverted... It's a problem I haven't solved yet. Animal animation: They still have the same animation issue. Thanks for your support, and see you next time! -
Some screenshots from the 4 player FFA test match on Latium RM. I was playing Romans, while AI players were Hellenes, Carthaginians and Persians. All 3 mustered huge armies, with the Persians launching around a dozen mass attacks on everyone, with every unit in their arsenal, by the end of the game. In the end, it was me against the Persians. They continued to send huge waves of "trash" units even after all Metal was gone. I'd say that the test was successful. -
That doesn't warrant ignoring the instructions how to report violations: Violations have to be reported privately to one of the lobby moderators. So please do that in future. To quote comments I made earlier in this thread: -
Red - Romans and Spartans Blue - Athenians and Britons Light blue/Azure - Seleucids Green - Persians and Gauls Purple - Persians as well Yellow - Carthaginians, Iberians, and Hans Orange - Mauryans -

I am mostly focused on basic implemention of component/functions. I was thinking of a game of rock, paper, scissors. The Priest = Religión and Myths etc. The Philosopher= Rational and metaphysical thought and elemental natural social. Then Politician= Aristotelianism, platonism, despotism, republic oligarchs, democracy and tyrants. The politician defeats the philosopher and converts through bribery. Politician is defeated by Religion, Priest handles more masses than the politician, the conversion with villagers through myth and faith. The philosopher defeats the religious by conventionalizing myth and metaphysics and convinces through oratory but it is a defeat. Priest>Politician>Philosopher Priest uses faith. Politician uses metal. Philosopher uses oratory. These are the types of control (mind and ideas) through discourse and influence. Conquest without struggle. It's an idea for fighting between units that convert. Priest bonus vs support units ( villagers and slaves). Politician Bonus vs Elite & Champion military. Philosopher bonus vs Citizen Soldier B & A, merchants. It's an idea...
