Well, there is a reason: they have infinitly more resources than we do (money, especially), which also explains why you're getting 0A.D. for free... Or maybe you don't pay for those games either which would explain things. We value your input but your post is written in a way that makes it unacceptable, so we're just going to ignore it instead of balancing those "ridiculous" bugs (congrats!)

hey guys, I managed to contact Roland Seidel, the author of the initially posted image, and he was able to send me a high-res picture, yay! So no need to reconstruct anything anymore. I am so grateful not just to fcxSanya for researching and providing me with the name of the author and an institution where I could contact him, but also for the help everyone else has provided with me, and the patience with which you endured my inexperienced incapabilities. You are great. Thanks!!!!!

I can't believe you went and made an account and forum post for this. Pathetic. Get your ego in check. You literally said "bogus not realistic strategy" and then listed empire earth lol.

You've got skills and dedication 0 AD is better than many released RTS games out there already, and it is in alpha. Plus, given the game's moddability, it would be fairly straightforward for someone to make a rebalance mod that is more to their liking.

There's also the fact that we are not finished yet.

Since the games are recorded, can we have a forum to upload/download games? Thanks! Diamond

I get some ctd errors from time to time so i decided to start posting them here, sorry if already posted by someone else http://prntscr.com/99boek win7 x64 I got this when i was joining a spectate

I also voted for 0AD last year, who else has a modDB profile? Voting phase ends on December 11, 2015

Done, And best of luck you guys deserve it.

Maybe he could do it better. Empire Earth, at least II, have a very weird counter scheme, and units die easily. Didn't like it at all, good concept, bad executed. I actually enjoy 0 ad better.

I forgot the link, sorry

Yeah, I hope people share their replays :-) It were nice if we had a custom website to upload replays and make them searchable. It could display some details about the replay file (shouldn't be that hard as the information is contained in metadata.json). Later one might add showing summary screen stats, map preview etc. online. Sounds like work though.

Glad to hear it turned out so well =) You are welcome

you mean this. LOL for me you don't even play enough RTS games. Demise The Empire Earth series was ended with the release of Empire Earth III, which received mainly negative and average reviews and widespread condemnation from fans of the series. Any remnants of it were removed from Mad Doc Software's official website. On November 1, 2008, multiplayer support was dropped for Empire Earth, Empire Earth: The Art of Conquest and Empire Earth II,[4][5] Leaving only Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy, Empire Earth III,and Empires: Dawn of the Modern World with multiplayer servers. Empires: Dawn of the Modern World multiplayer is no longer active, except to enthusiasts, partially due to the end of main support for software updates.[6] Online activity continues to decrease on Empire Earth II: The Art of Supremacy and Empire Earth III due to the lack of updates and support. Empire Earth II http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/empire-earth-ii/critic-reviews is a shame RTS Guru don't exist anymore, because , 0.A.D. were over Empire earth (II and III) in their top we were over many games, even Empire Total War. and we were over to enterily Empire earth saga... and we even finish. https://web.archive.org/web/20150220200119/http://www.rtsguru.com/games/&sort=rating&order=desc and AoE 2 Conquerors was and AoK was but AOM and AOE Warchiefs were the best in this top. sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Empire_Earth_%28series%29 http://www.metacritic.com/game/pc/empire-earth-iii

Phases themself as an idea are not boring. There have been no changes to how they work ever though. Instead of making phases and technology more interesting you gut the interesting tech pairs idea and made technology more boring and less interesting. Whatever you do, make it more interesting. But I don't think you have even consider ideas to make phases more interesting instead of just chopping them out. All new idea and "wouldn't it be cool if..." things like this are fine, if only they expand and complement the core vision. Can team even articulate the core vision of the game anymore? How does removing phases and replacing them with building-leveling affect the core vision? I think the core vision imagine a game that has players taking his settlement through phases of growth and that was the phase techs represent. I don't think building-leveling is bad, but it is not a subsitutute for one of the core tenet of the game vision, just an interesting add-on. Leveling up a barracks and making it prettier is not a good substitute for settlement phases. My advise (as if you want it) is to make the phase techs more interesting instead of giving in to the dark nature and chopping them. Or come up with a better way to integreate settlement growth into the game in a meaningful and impactful way as a substitute for phases. Because settlement growth, I believe, is part of the core vision of the game, in the same way that age advancement is part of the core vision of Age of Empires.

Good for you. Got an idea of how to fix that or is this just another pointless comment?

Victory! Much thanks to stanislas69 niektb Lion.KanzenThank you for helping me!

I don't understand the usual request about going to Steam: as a player, I absolutely HATE the auto-update system for instance, because I can't choose when to do an update (which breaks all my savegames, possibly other critical things too because it's an alpha)
