Leaderboard

If there's any unlockable content, it should be for the singleplayer IMO (via a campaign). To give some sort of mission for players who prefer to play alone. Multiplayer should have all content unlocked from the start, as the mission is to get the highest ranking (without that ranking influencing other stuff).

I originally disliked this topic because there's no point in talking about 0BC if we can't see what it is (understand, play it). Now I also dislike it because people think they understand thermodynamics, which is a field even more prone to stupid interpretations than quantum physics is.

I guess it never hurts to give it a shot... Khmer Empire (Kambujadesa Empire) (802 AD - 1431AD) I always have the feeling that Southeast Asia is underrepresented in RTS (and video game in general), which is a shame, because this region has a very rich culture(s) , a unique blend of Indian, Chinese, Islamic (and later, Europeans) influence, and a political system unique to its own. I also think Part 2 of Millennium Mod could be a great place to include a faction/civilization or two from Southeast Asia, because at this time frame the region is relatively unified under the powerful Khmer Empire (and Srivijaya, but that's another story). The Khmer Empire at its greatest extent is as large as the Carolingian Empire at its highest point, so it is certainly not some unknown backwater kingdom. Gameplay: Swarm tactic, ambush, skirmishing, hit-and-run, late game elephant rush and lightweight siege weapon. The hot yet humid climate of the Southeast Asia region greatly limits the practicality of armours. A lightly clad Khmer warrior, no matter how skilled, is not expected to go toe-to-toe against...lets say a crusader knight clad in hauberk and surcoat. This does not mean the Khmer army was weak, though (and they do have some armour). Civ Trait: Tropical Civilization: Forest environments are inherently unsuitable for the development of large civilizations, as doing so require extensively modifying the environment. The fact that Khmers managed to carve up a large empire in this inhospitable region is a testament of their architectural and engineering capabilities. - The Khmers can cut down trees (harvesting wood) like no others. - Bonus to building hit point. -No corral: Heavily forested environments are also not very suitable for the development of livestock industry (and hot climate certainly is unsuitable for sheep!), Hinduism also forbid the consumption of cow. The Khmer did raise cattles and pigs, but usually not on very large scale. This civilization does not have 'corral' building. Instead, smaller livestock (chicken and the like) can be produced directly from the 'house' building. Harvesting chicken should be less cost-effective than sheep though. Agrarian Empire: Khmer Empire was practically build on rice. Most of its citizens were farmer. - Instead of female citizen, Khmer male have Gathering bonus in farming and fishing. Civ Bonus: *Quad-annual harvest: While rice is normally an annual plant, in tropical region rice can be perennal (harvested twice a year). In Khmer empire however, they harvest three to four times a year. Khmer farms churn out food three times as fast as normal farm (four times with upgrade). *Elephant Roundup: Able to capture 'Gaia' Elephant. Civ Disadvantage: * Little to no armoured unit. * Weak cavalry * Very, very poor navy. Unique Tech *Baray : Unique semi-wonder building. An artificial water reservoir that provides bonus to surrounding farms, as well as a healing aura. Only two can be built.

Rating was disabled because the rating code caused a slowdown of the bot itself once there were some users (~25) in the lobby, which impacted matchmaking itself. Unless that is fixed (patches welcome, guidance offered) ratings stay disabled.

I very disagree on having bonus or unlockable content with ranking. Ranking system it's done and was working on first multiplayer version, but I think that was closed cause the game it's on alpha (right?) There a lot of factors making a game losing popularity... look on starcraft 1 or age of empires 2, none of them have unlockeable content and are still played. BTW I have nothing against trophies or cosmetic content.

Well Lagg is so boring when u play with friends and everyone moves their units it starts to be annoying,,, :/

Proposed Unit Roster (Draft) Non-Combat Unit Woman-Trader - Quite uniquely, Khmer traders are all women. Khmer faction does not have “trader” unit. Instead their women double as trader.They carry (much) less goods than actual trader from other factions, but you can swarm the market with them. Healer (Hinduism or Buddhism) Fishing boat Citizen Soldier Spearman Archer Crossobowman - Continental SE Asian crossbow seems to be pretty weak, without stirrup or other spanning devise. Skirmisher Phkapman - Welding a phkap, a sickle-like polearm unique to this region. Light Horseman Chariot Champion Unit Nayar (Swordsman-javelineer) - I keep hearing this so-called elite army, a spartan-like warrior caste of the Khmer Empire. But the source is solely lacking. So I will omit them for now. Maiden Guard (Spearwoman) Auxiliary/Mercenary Unit Siamese Auxiliary Lavo Auxiliary Chinese (Song Dynasty) Auxiliary Elephant Unit Worker Elephant Elephant Archer - As far as I am aware, Khmer was the only people to use the "double basket howdah" design for their elephants. This clever design makes their elephant archers much more effective compared to the "everyone sit on the elephant's back" approach, as all archers can shoot at the same target without getting in the way of each other. Siege Crossbow Elephant - Unique unit of the Khmer Empire. Combines the ranged firepower of a double-bow siege crossbow with the close combat capability, mobility and resilience of a war elephant. Siege Weapon Double-bow Siege Crossbow - The Khmer probably learned this weapon directly from the Chinese, or through their Champa rivals. Shielded Cart/Manlet Warship Longboat Heroes Jayavarman VII (Chariot) - Most powerful warrior-monarch of the empire and the builder of Angkor Thom and Bayon Temple. Suryavarman II (Elephant) - Builder of Angkor Wat Wonder Angkor Wat - Maybe making entiry city a wonder is too much. Gold Temple of Bayon - It is a stone temple covered with literal gold. Only the stone part remains though. Easter Egg Unit Stegosaurus - No, seriously.

You do know that there is a +1 button on each post? Also full-quoting the previous post is something you should avoid.

When this issue is fixed, your problems should be solvable: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/3208#ticket It won't be hard to fix it I think, so anyone willing to try is welcome.
