I'm mostly against it as well. It's too much micro for an RTS. It works fine in later Total War games, but in RTS games who have it (like Ancient Wars: Sparta) it doesn't. 0 A.D. fits in with the RTS's that have an important economic management aspect, plus large number of troops, so adding extra micro of that form would be even worse than on most games. Added to that, extra balancing is needed (mounted/dismounted versions).

That I offended you publicly was another act of barbarism (rather like Saruman) by me and I wish to apologize for that. It was just that I felt you should know how I (mis)understood how you commented, which always made a very self-confident impression to the contrary of Stan who was the opposite. And thus he easily broke and thought his work now was hated which I fully understand. e.g. instead of 'I don't like the houses.' we could say 'The houses are fine. They could extend farther into the ground. It might even be better if we added more props.' and so on. You surely get the point, your critic can sometimes be misunderstood as too harsh and subjective, because those open source contributors and artists are pretty sensistive people too. You know, they already have to defend themselves against permanent criticism in society because they work for 'nothing' for projects with high goals. Not many people accept this and it's really a downfall if any of these works are downplayed. I agree perfection was what I understood. At any case, I wanted to finish RoTE ASAP because Scion's feedback was negative despite our efforts and because running aginast closed-doors is no easy task and makes reaching goals pretty difficult. By all means I will stop my flame war. You are one our motors. We need to stick together. Now we have removed all discrepancies and will continue to try to reach the stars. For a good cooperation of Council (where I'm still willing to help as much as possible), 0AD and 0AD Extended, which I hereby announce will be called 0BC.

Sander, enjoy what you've coded, thanks for all these epic features.

I wish mythos could explain why its design doc was that way. He may disagree on the balancing but his knowledge would be useful. maybe he is still around
