Usually in a multiplayer game, one person will need to host. Many players in the multiplayer lobby are not able to host. In this case, a server is hosted for others and players can change the settings to their liking through usage of Autohost without configuring their router.

Just as a little fun project, I've created an Autohost user in the Alpha 18 lobby which, as the name implies, provides a public hosted server. (Aimed at those who cannot host themselves). Currently, functionality is rather limited: - Set to 2v2 currently (cannot change). Currently 1v1. EDIT (20150824): It can be whatever you want! - Allows you to choose civ via the @civ command in chat. - Allows you to start the game once everyone is ready with @start. - EDIT (20150823): Allows you to select your team with @team. - EDIT (20150824): Allows you to select slot with @setplayer - EDIT (20150824): Allows you to set yourself as spectator with @spectate - EDIT (20150824): Allows you to change the number of players on the map with @numplayers - EDIT (20151017): Allows you to change map with @selectmap - EDIT (20151017): Allows you to change type filter with @maptype - EDIT (20151017): Allows you to change map size with @mapsize - EDIT (20151017): Allows you to view maplist with @listmaps - Generic @help command. - Autohost will automatically rehost a new game if either the game has ended or all players leave. It's still very experimental and I may (or may not ) add more features. Testing would be greatly appreciated!

Hello, I have noticed that when you buy at the market ... you can buy what you want, the money is not there "money". In the rise of nation (in which there are national borders) there are two ways to get money: tax the territories under its control or send caravans to their town or city allied. The idea would be to create the caravans (instead of the usual merchants normally used) to create "money" or "richness" with this wealth can buy the resources to market and build buildings.

Yes but if i recall correctly there was the 4 basic resources (food, wood, mineral, gold) and later one or two special resources every era

Hi Vlad123. You are correct. There is no "money" resource in 0 A.D.. Since at this time money was somehow similar to gold you could see money as part of metal. IMO there is no need to add it because you cannot build anything with money but only buy the material you need to build something. Traders used money for the easier exchange of goods. Example: City 1, Woodstock: - The city lies within a forest thus wood is easy to access thus the people of Woodstock doesn't value wood that much. - They don't have access to stone to build longer lasting buildings thus the people of Woodstock value stone very much. City 2, Quarrypebble: - The City lies within rocky hills with many natural quarries with some grassland arround thus the people of Quarrypebble have easy access to stone and don't value that much. - The thin layer of earth on the otherwise rocky ground does not support trees so the people of Quarrypebble value wood quite high. Merchant: - A merchant with some money goes to Woodstock and buys some wood. - He brings it to Quarrypebble and sells it there. Since wood is valued there more he likely gets more money back than he spend initially. - He uses some of this money to buy stone, again quite cheap. - He returns to Woodstock and sells the stones there, again likely with some profit. Now check what has changed: - Money: Towns -> Merchant (Represented ingame by the cost of metal to produce the merchant. He'll spend some of the money to get e.g. food and shelter so the money might go back to the towns) - Wood: Woodstock -> Quarrypebble - Stone: Quarrypebble -> Woodstock Assuming the player manages Woodstock the main change for him is he exchanged wood for stone (and that's exactly what happens ingame). Note: - The access to resources have risen for everyone (That's the real gain of trading). - There is no gain in value (both towns value the resource brought to them less the more trading goes on which cancles out against the slight increase of value of the resource they produce by beeing able to sell it) - There is no money generated (Who ever plantet that into the brains of people, I heard that several times now) - If one of the parties realizes what's going on and just slightly changes it's behaviour to at the end of the loop come out better all money will end up at this party
