Amen, brother. Guys, It's really nice and all, that people can suggest things they'd like to see in the game, but maybe try to be realistic? Not realistic in what greeks did in real life, but rather realistic for... for the programmer and the REAL players(not the ones who just start it recruite 5 horsemen and run arround the map, but rather the ones liking to have a real STRATEGY game from time to time... When they go from working mode, let them first walk to the civ center, deposite their pik, hack or whatever, then go to the barack to get armed, for working again go to barack deposit arm, go to tc, get pik, hack or whatever. You want a realistic game? when a unit has lived during 30 game minutes it gets a white beard, and after 5 more minutes it dies with altseimer. When a woman gets killed she usually gets raped first, k im getting vulgair here, my point is just to say that this is supposed to be a game, and nice gameplay is much more imortant then any realism (or graphics, i'd say). I prefere playing a fun game with bad grafics and completly unrealistic, then the most realistic and graphicly amazing one with a shi.tty gameplay...

Looking great! I learned something about the follow button

I think you are doing well! Clear instructions and their effects. I actually learned that the arrow keys mimic the functionality of the WASD keys I did not know that.

Hi! I've finished a tutorial video for the camera controls and unit selection. Let me know if you like it! --Brynn

You asked... The basic problem is that you can have more than one computer in your local network which all access the internet through your router. If you go to www.whatsmyip.org from different computers in your network you will get the same address (the router's ip-address, not your computer's address). Now if you host the game there's no way how the other player can address your computer. Your computer's IP address is not accessible from the outside (the internet). The router can be addressed but it doesn't know which computer in your local network is meant to receive the information. Port-forwarding just tells the router that all data coming from the outside on port 20595 (in this case) should be sent to your computer. As long as there's no application on your computer that is listening on this port there's no risk. When 0ad or another application listens to that port, an attacker can try to send information the application doesn't expect. This can be a danger if the application doesn't handle it properly. It could crash or even execute code from the attacker in the worst case. However the attacker needs to know which application listens on that port, he must know your IP address, he needs to spend a lot of time finding an error in the application that can be exploited and he needs to attack you just at the time the application is running and in the state he expects.

Hi! I have been working on some tutorials on the 0 A.D. camera controls. Here is a sample: It is not narrated, as I haven't got a good microphone. Do you think the style is good? Of course, other clips would follow this one with more camera controls. --Brynn
