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!

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).

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.

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

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

Civil centre:

I'd be happy to start working on a template and spin up a demo on my server.

Now that the tournament is finished, it would be nice to have the game replays of the matches, or at least most important or remarkable Games. I do not know how it is appreciated to post Replays of games of other players for "privacy" reasons, but I will start with the Final Match ValihrAnt vs. SaidRtz. Sadly, as far as I know none of this was live streamed. I packed each game of this 5 rounds match into a zip. Hope it works. Vali-Said-Game_1.zip Vali-Said-Game2.zip Vali-Said-Game3.zip Vali-Said-Game4.zip Vali-Said-Game5.zip

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."

Chickens now have the highest quality animations in the game

fried chicken ready to test:

I'm with @wowgetoffyourcellphone on this one. I find the current tooltips show way too much information. Along time ago I even locally made some mockups revamping them, but I'm afraid those have been lost to time. In fact, I thought about using bars to visualize numbers like attack damage and resource gathering speed, which is still an idea I like. It would be cool to work on this, but for me it's a matter of time, I have so many things I'd love to implement, but they take time and I can't work on too many things at once. I genuinely hope, though, that I'll get to it eventually and I'd also be happy to review PRs for it. @wowgetoffyourcellphone, same for your viewer mockup. https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/6860 (I personally prefer icons, by the way, and it would also be nice to add an option to choose between reduced vs extended tooltips)

And is it possible to merge it with the other simultaneous thread? (Maybe not). The opposite happens to me... icons and numbers give me the vibe, a bunch of text boggs me down. Besides, in the text the numbers are written down also. Yes please. And simple ship ramming animations
