I saw this the other day and it made me smile. When we named the game, we didn't intend to get to the top of the list... Ha! Congrats on the latest release all, glad to see the project still making forward progress!

public Litterally, a must-have.

OS: macOS chip: M2 year: 2022 package_manager: homebrew version: 0.28 issues: none so far, the game runs smoothly. note: the lag issue that is usually present even in platform-native games is not present in 0 A.D., I am assuming it is due to how the Pyrogenesis engine handles mouse rendering? Message: I was so blown away by the game that I wanted to express my gratitude. Freaking awesome! 0 A.D. rocks!

WIP: Armature Redone. Easier to handle. armature name: bison_... please correct me if another quadruped has the same name cause will break the game.

Nice to see Millenium A.D. being updated

I was analyzing the commit from @Freagarach for regeneration to make some tooltips on it. Since there was an issue opened by @wowgetoffyourcellphone, and other modders might find it interesting, never know. @Emacz @Lopess It's possible now to give some arbitrary timer to resources for regeneration or decay, given certain states. For example, if you want dead animals to have some kind of decay you can do this: <ResourceSupply> [...] <Change> <Rotting> <!-- Add your new effect, name it however you want --> <Value>-1</Value> <Interval>2000</Interval> <State>dead</State> <!-- Add a state, "dead" or "alive" --> </Rotting> </Change> </ResourceSupply> The other interesting state supported is if the resource is currently being gathered or not (notGathered or gathered). <Spawn> <Value>1</Value> <Interval>2000</Interval> <State>notGathered</State> </Spawn> Above a current implementation in vanilla for Fishs. Below the results : Tooltips I added to ModernGUI for now.

This version is simply the old mod with very few changes, however, in this process I saw several points that could be altered. 1 - Focus on the end of the Bronze Age (Assyrian Empire, New Egyptian Empire); 2 - Exclude the ArkGreek models (generic and uninteresting), and instead develop Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations from the models we already have (I created a Minoan spearman, it was pretty cool); 3 - Includes art for the Jewish civilization (but I will validate if I can use it), however I will be careful not to fall into certain exaggerated content. 4 - I used existing Bkg civilizations, I can create new unique ones for each civilization. 5 - A Nubian kingdom would be interesting and easy to create, in this category a Phoenician kingdom would also be. 6 - I know there are several interesting civilizations to include, but I want to be realistic in this regard. NOTE: Any help is welcome (especially art and code).For those who don't yet have experience in mod development, but are willing to learn, I can help by teaching what little I know.

Based on the work of @Duileoga & @Lopess

Instead of sharing the Excel, I put the data into a small web I found outdated so it’s easier to explore https://units-stats-0ad.web.app

Due to unproportional and unrealistic "meat steak" size i propose change chickens to be single citizen gathering slot and only once carrying chickens straight to cc as a dead hanging chicken. Carry_chicken:

Capture mechanic's could be related to specific buildings only: Military: Fortress, Towers, Gate's. Civilian: Civ Center, Wonders, Temples. Other structures should have a territory dependency like houses could be automatically captured if a city civ centre is captured. In that way, city siege could have two objectives: Destroy everything at glance. Capture primordial structures to take over the city if the defenses aren't prepared enough to defend the city avoiding turtling. Capturing fortress could gather small area of effect over the nearby buildings. Capturing city could have strong area of effect of nearby buildings.

Update for the Aristeia mod to 0a.d. 0.28. The mod is playable and error-free; anyone interested can download it from this link: https://github.com/0ADMods/aristeia @Stan` Could you help us upload this version to Mod.io?

New Structures, units and art for Mycenaean and Minoans:

It's the wonder of the Anglo-Saxons, Church of Brixworth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_Saints'_Church,_Brixworth https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/22783-1000-anglo-saxons-all-saints-church-brixworth-wonder/#comment-336603

What think? First proposal on 4/5/2026 EDIT: Latest iteration. 4/6/2026 Technology Tooltip 1. A thematic, but readable header font, 2 points larger than the game's current header font. 2. Cost moved to the top. 3. Lines spaced out slightly for readability. 4. Effects text bolded for readability. 5. Bullet points for organizing the effects. 6. Tech portrait added @ 100x100 px.

These could be considered: -Artemisia I for Persians (or Carians, if part of the game at some point): naval commander. The one from the battles of Artemisium and Salamis. -Artemisia II for Persians (or Carians): naval strategist and medical researcher. Sister/wife of Mausolus, ordered the construction of his tomb: the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus. -Lǚ Mǔ for Han: rebel leader that played a role in the restoration of the Han dynasty. -Teuta for Illyrians: not a playable faction still (eventually?), but since Gaia's units being more challenging has been mentioned, they could even have Heroes, and Teuta would be compatible with Gaia's piracy units (although I'd name them differently than Gaia, and reserve that for basically abandoned things).

Perhaps in "Birdseye View", the structure portraits can show up like this for a true strategic overview. Almost as if the whole screen becomes a kind of huge minimap or strategic map. Portraits at 64x64 px and with a 2 px stroke around them of player color (on the left you see white for gaia player color) and a 1 px black stroke around that. I would also suggest the status bars show up by default too and that we put a button by the minimap (in addition to the hotkey) to toggle this. We could possibly go further by adding icons for other things, like berries and huntables, perhaps at a smaller size (48x48?). Huntables genericized to a meat icon instead of their individual icons (deer, etc.).

I totally forgot how to export, but maybe @Stan` can help you with the file: 0.A.D_Attack_Ranged_Throw_Rock.dae

The gaul trumpeters should make sound. I was just scrolling reddit on the trumpeters. Some user says it's somewhat altered and provides 3 other examples: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0eABuyDFXAM09jKd7MWPZh?si=vc-gGIsATEij3GbV-p0Ebg&t=1 https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cgk1p8xk7z7o https://www.instagram.com/reel/DU4spHMAM1H/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==

Update: Managed to make a food.chicken specific resource and the UnitAI component to read the specific resource type to play the chicken specific animation: For testing purpose chicken is a single gatherer only and only 10 food. UnitAI code line modified:

Like some people might have noticed I worked on some janitor tasks in the last weeks. Now every open Issue has a Type label (some 35 closed ones are still lacking: current state), a Priority label (some 24 closed ones are still lacking: current state) and countless tickets have gotten a Theme label. As of today we have 112 open and 181 closed Issues lacking a Theme label (current state). I probably opened everyone of them, but have no more clue on how to label the last ones. Therefore I call for support! I you have the corresponding user rights on our bug tracker, please consider working on before mentioned list - and when opening a new Issue, please remember to use at least the three important label categories and a milestone. Why is this label important? If bug reports arise on the forums, it's not always possible to check on Gitea for the existance of already opened Issues by using the search function. We have no semantic search function, so it's sometimes just luck to find something if the words are matching. Then the search by Theme labels really helps. But if tickets haven't such label, we might open duplicate Issues which leads to problems in the future like redundant work etc.

NEWS: New mesh fabrics for women (Long tunic variant, dress with centered texture; I'll show the women's version with a robe soon): I am creating new textures and East Asian units are being created. Great help from @Alisson Fabrini with baking AO and 3D improvements.

I think around houses/storehouses, etc. could be more dirt-like. Otherwise, nice direction established here.

This is a freaking awesome video and got me thinking about how pathfinding could simulate crowd and individual behavior.

Committed the first draft of the Guptas I need ideas for: 4 heroes and their bonuses Unit references (for textures) Mercenary Unit ideas (at least 3) Unique technologies Civ Bonuses Team Bonus Catafalque

This is a small mod I made that creates a work elephant unit for the Kushite and Carthaginian civilizations, who can train it at the elephant stable. It's not meant to be historically accurate, but more for fun, as I like the idea of the ancient North African civilizations using elephants for work as well as war even if I'm not aware of any historical evidence for it. I will admit the building animation is a bit buggy, as the elephant's ears always bunch up during this animation. Only way I know this could be fixed is if the African elephant models had their own building animations instead of using that of the Asian elephant, but I am not yet at the stage where I am able to animate meshes for this game. african_work_elephant.zip

((5+5)/2)*(1/5) then it could be opened a ticket todo. For future city building game mode could be usefull also. i made those animations for feeding with longer staring-breaks and it seems they always have more importance than idle's ones:

These faces are generative AI products, I used the Persian face texture update which I committed some years ago and instructed it to retain the UV placements and change the ethnicity from ethnic Persian to ethnic East Asian. I’ve read this thread and was just wondering if the stance regarding AI content has changed. In my workplace we adapt some AI integration with some cases but retain majority of our work to be done without it. This one is also quite interesting, I have loaded some of my old screenshots for new texture features, and instructed AI to “try” to reconstruct the image into “historically accurate” other cultures similar to the generations below. AI may also helpful for concept visualizations for possible new content such as mods or new features. From the images below, I think artists can simply work around and create something it. Generative AI is still a work in progress and usually faulty, but it could also become useful if trained thoroughly and procedurally.

What did you have for lunch? Also, happy Easter!

I think people will use them as-is if we can fix their rebuilding mechanic (placing towers at the end of wall segments).

bison_run

will do adjustment's to idle ones. UPDATE: Texture variants baked:

The issue with building a system revolving on different archer types, is that for balancing, it would be necessary to give it to most civs. No matter what historical justifications one might find. Personally, I feel like the current system, with archers, slingers, and javelineers, isn't being used to its full potential.

Oh boy I worked for so long on that feature.

I know some people (myself included) who use it when designing their base to get a better sense of the spacing between buildings. And having the same icon repeated many times—for example on houses or storehouses, which tend to be numerous and small—could become annoying. I really like the idea! However, having the option to toggle it on and off would be ideal to accommodate both preferences.

I think I may have found the issue, the new version of the game seems to have trouble running Vulkan rendering, I disabled it and enabled OpenGL, restarted the game a few times, enabled Delenda, no issues, disabled it, no issues. Will keep you guys informed, thank you guys. @Stan`@guerringuerrin@Deicide4u@Obelix

I'm updating the mod this weekend. I hope to finish soon, so it will be available for the community to use and update Mod.io. https://github.com/0ADMods/aristeia

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Scaled, changed proportions, the columns and the gate. I also added some more deco around the top and closed some supposedly "hidden" downward faces, because I could imagine a cutscene walking up the acropolis with the new camera path possibilities. The Nike sculptures are those from Athena Parthenos. temple_athena_nike.zip

Improve the AI's personality rather then efficiency. Rather then a balanced army, make it so that they have a certain build in mind to play against you. Mass horseman, siege focused, spearman mania, ranger runner, champion gigachads build type of memes. The goal is to have fun rather then being competative all the time, as well as strategize many weird build to counter their army rather then booming, turtling and aggresive only, might as well introduce a new strategy called countering Sun-Tzu.

So, I've uploaded release 28 to mod.io: https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/theban-greeks#discussion Just waiting for approval! Luckily it's a very small mod (under 2mb). Here's the pyromod if you'd like to test it before it goes live on mod.io theban-greeks.pyromod Any suggestions on how to improve the mod? Keep in mind, it's a simple civ mod which adds to the base game and isn't intended to change the gameplay of the rest of the civs or change the meta (such as in Delenda Est).

Honestly, I strongly believe the ModernGUI mod should have its compatibility check permanently enabled, with no option to disable it. This isn’t because of the GUI itself, but due to the autotrainer. There are multiple players exploiting this and receiving credits they haven’t legitimately earned. Same that Delenta Est, Aristeia, even Feldman I think must apply to this mod too. I am not interested in games with this setup. Gray letters to the ones that uses autotrainer pls! So others can make informed decisions.

I wonder if people who use this Counter-Strike mod also come up with those familiar excuses? "Okay, but this is available on the internet and open to everyone. That means it’s not cheating. Go download it yourself." "A lot of other people use it too. Why are you criticizing me? That means you have a personal problem with me." "Aiming is repetitive and unnecessary anyway. I’m actually improving the game. I help new players get used to the game faster." "This isn’t a cheat, it’s a mod." "You can aim with a mouse too, there’s not much difference. In fact, the other day someone killed me just by aiming normally with a mouse."

fried chicken ready to test:

Hello everyone, and Happy Easter! First of all, I am happy to announce that Hyrule Conquest: Revival has been updated to 0 A.D. version R28. In addition to the update, there is a whole ton of new stuff, including factions, features, maps, and more... First off, Gohma are a swarm faction, meaning they specialize in training hundreds of weak and squishy units and overwhelming the enemy with sheer numbers. As you can tell from the pictures, the Gohma are a mix of the old and new designs, using the original organic structures and the redesigned Gohma units. The Lizalfos function very different from the other factions. When you start a match as them, you pick between one of four gods, each of whom gives you different units, structures, and technologies. They range from stealth focused (Farosh), to poison and disease focused (Okra), to war and battle focused (Dinrall), to ranged and hunting focused (Dodalagon), so they have lots of variety. The Moblins are an extemely mobile faction. All of their buildings (except their wonder) can pack up and be moved somewhere else, allowing them to move to a completely different area. They also have access to all of their units and techs to start, making them a strong early game faction. The Sheikah Cadre are back! They are extremely stealthy, with the majority of their units having Stealth or Camouflage. They are also very Creature heavy, and have a lot of Dodge. While they have less units compared to most of the other civs, they are very heavy damage dealers. The Zora Dominion are finally done! Though they are lacking Aqueducts, they otherwise function and are completely playable. They are very magic heavy, with lots of mage units. They are also (just like Lanayru Province and the Wild Zora) completely aquatic, allowing them to swim across lakes and oceans. In addition, there are also major changes to Labrynna. I have redone them again, removing their structure upgrades. They now only have their steampunk buildings, which was done mainly so that they function with the AI without making extensive changes to Hyrule Bot. I have also added two new features to the Deku Kingdom: Mad Scrub is back! When a Deku Scrub is slain, it has a chance to spawn a Mad Scrub, who will go on a rampage killing everything in sight. For the first time in the histoy of Hyrule Conquest, the Deku have a navy! They have three boats, which use turreting to transport units, as well as a dock to build them from. You can expect more navies in the future... I have added Dodge into the game. When a unit with Dodge is attacked with a melee attack, they have a chance to dodge it (this will be added to the GUI in the future). Stealth and Camouflage are finally fixed! Now enemy units that are stealthed or camouflaged are invisible to the naked eye. Note that cheats that reveal the map and that ticking the Revealed Map option in the Game Setup page break this feature. Automatic Resource Draining is now in. This is a pretty minor feature, which is at the moment only used by the Gohma Recycler structure. Spawning on Interval is in! This is another smaller feature, but will be used mainly by the Gohma (who now auto spawn some units) and by Gaia for map enemies. Garrison Spawning is also in! Most buildings no longer have an automatic attack. Instead, at the start of the game a group of basic archers are turreted in every civil center. These units cannot be removed from the turret, though they can be killed as normal. These same buildings no longer spawn nits when destroyed, which fixes some gameplay problems. Now, thanks to some code from Toby Dustin, when a faction is defeated, any surviving units defect to an ally, making team games of Regicide much more interesting. Finally, and perhaps the most anticipated feature by most, Knockback is finally in! Many large units and siege weapons can now knoc units back when they attack, causing absolute chaos. Many of these units are also immune or resistant to Knockback, due to their size. This has been wanted for a long time, so I hope y'all are happy now! We have reached the point where it's time to split from vanilla 0 A.D. map-wise. The vanilla maps are no longer playable. I know some people probably are dissapointed by this, but it's for the best, as many vanilla maps have vanilla units that mess up gamelay, appearence, and lore. To help counter the sudden lack of maps, 4 new maps are in (all of them 4 player maps): Gerudo Desert: Day, Gerudo Desert: Night, Tarm Ruins, and Zora River. There have been several GUI changes, including adding a Manual (currently incomplete) and new music. Finally, there have been lots of balancing changes not already listed, including: - Stalfos units are no longer immune to Pierce damage. - Minor Factions are now researched at the Market before they can be built. - Ordona has a new hero: The Resistance, who is trained by Ashei. - Markets now provide a trickle of Rupees. - Labrynna's cannons and guns are slightly more balanced, at least among themselves. And now for some news: After almost 8 months working on this project, I have almost updated every faction and feature from the original Hyrule Conquest. All that is left is to update the Plot system, which will open the way for redesigns of the Kokiri, Lanayru, and Gorons, as well as the promotion of the Darknut Legion to a Major Faction. Because of how much has been updated, as well as some personal projects, production will slow from now on. You can expect monthly releases, in which I will be adding navies, maps, campaigns, and of course lots of balancing. During this time, I also hope to add the Plots and Darknuts mentioned above. I also hope to, as time goes on add new factions, including the Guardians, Ikana, and Twili, as well as add new features, including Burrowing, Unit Abilities, and a Campaign Map. I also hope to improve the AI, so that it fully functions with all of the civilizations. Don't take all of this the wrong way, I am not retiring from the mod, nor am I taking a break or stepping down as project leader. I will still work on it, albiet at a slower pace as I add brand new features and art into the game. Y'all can download the mod here: https://www.moddb.com/mods/hyrule-conquest-revival/downloads/hyrule-conquest-revival-0121 Until next month, enjoy!

@wowgetoffyourcellphone @Stan` Changed the layout a little bit. Mod file is attached, please test and let me know what you think? :) 765954859_olive_mill(2).zip
