"I used to be a modder like you"

The floating panels are nice for a demo, but IMO they should be docked more like the current Atlas UI by default. I can see in the previews that it was necessary to move the panels around a lot to work on the terrain or whatever is behind them, which would be annoying if it was the default behavior. Otherwise, let's get it reviewed, tested, and committed

I'm not really planning to finish or publish this map, I just took some screenshots for fun. I made the guard textures this morning, shield mesh and texture are from Millennium AD by the way.

Ah, the sweetroll gag from The Elder Scrolls.

Added terrain tab, Display settings, environment settings and Actor Viewer tool. Now my WIP is done with current features, now is time to test in other os, and fix some bugs with the new UI. Enjoy the video. Please review the first post to watch the video

A classsic-style RTS achieve a balance of this in Battle for Middle Earth II. Ships did not turn on a dime, but movement wasn't 100% realistic. I think with ship movement, 0 A.D. pklayers just want something better than what is currently in the game. The ship movement in the game right now is just too clunky. And so many people keep making formations out to be more complex than they need to be. Simple powerful formations can work. It has been done, except there were no bonuses in BfME2. 0 A.D. would innovate on that. Formations can be streamline and reduced in number. Battle Line is standard for infantry and ranged units. Wedge is standard for melee cavalry. Column is automatic. Then use modifying buttons: Open Order, Close Order, Locked Shields (this is the phalanx). I do like your idea of making bigger maps and making exploring more important. Settling up forward bases or finding good spots for cities would be more important. And yeah, using a 'column' formation to speed up getting troops across the map would be more relevant. I think a separate git would be needed to test thing like this. More resources is intriquing, but maybe keep the same resources and make different ways of getting them, like large open pit metal or stone mines that can be captured.
