  1. Don't think I don't know this game. Wall towers don't benefit from the Crenellations tech, which gives 40% more arrows for each garrisoned soldier and is basically necessary for effective tower usage. Also, regular towers have significantly better range. HP doesn't mean a whole lot. If you can't take out enemy siege equipment it doesn't really matter whether your towers have 1000 HP or 5000 HP. Current wisdom is to use fully garrisoned regular towers and fortresses in conjunction with archer balls to take out enemy spearmen so that your melee cavalry have easy access to enemy siege equipment. Catapults have greater range than wall towers, but not regular towers, so wall towers are not particularly useful for defense. There's a reason competitive players rarely use walls. The only way the AI can get walls to begin with is if it's playing as the Iberian civ, in which case it might delete it's towers to avoid the problem of pathfinding around gates (units tend to get stuck). Basically, the AI doesn't support walls at all right now. It can't build them and if it starts with them they only hinder it.

  2. Hi and welcome! The models and also the textures look nice! There's another team creating a mod for 0 A.D. and they got a lot of technical help. I'm sure your questions will be answered too. Here are some of their first questions, so you might find some answers there too. As zoot said there are some concerns that there could be problems with intellectual property when creating a game in the Tolkien universe. I've heard that they are very strict in that matter and send you hordes of orcs ... I mean lawyers.

  3. Nope, I'm totally against that. Trees growing back: OK (but slow rate) Animals spawning: OK (but away from buildings and with an animals/tile^2 limit) but no rocks/metal and no messages.

  5. The reputation was added stealthily a while back. Nobody seems to use it very much though. The idea to to remove the need for "I agree" posts. I'm not convinced ti does this at all though.
