I've seen it too occasionally, even with the chat text, but I have absolutely no idea what is causing it. We will need a way how to reproduce the bug consistently in order to investigate it

Please Alekusu senpai!

Greetings everybody I'm creating this topic, because I posted the suggestion for this civ in the "Honour and Glory" forum, but I came up with so many references, that the necessity of having a topic of its own became unavoidable. Also, it came to my attention when I was collecting and searching for interesting elements, that it was more relevant to put this topic here, in the rise of the east forum, than in the millenium one, because I think the geographical area I cover, and the period too are more fitting of this mod in my opinion. Here you'll find elements of presentation of the ancient sinhalese civilization, and if someone is interested, one can even start modding this civilization. Such a mod would cover the earlier part of the period of Anuradhapura Kingdom (4th century BC to 11th century AD):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anuradhapura First of all, I want to give you a quick introduction to the sinhalese culture. I must warn you that the sources of ancient history of the island are mostly buddhist manuscripts, which are not the most reliable sources for historians, but nevertheless integrate some factual, proven elements. Sinhalese people live in the Island called today "Sri Lanka", which used to be known as "Ceylon" under the rule of the british empire (this designation is still used on tea boxes, and Sri Lanka remains today the first exporter of tea in the world). The island of Sri Lanka is situated right under India, having the shape of a teardrop. The island has a very ancient, complex and rich history. I won't detail all of it, because it wouldn't be relevant for the purpose of this introduction, but I will nonetheless introduce some elements. First of all, Sri Lanka is inhabited by three main ethnicities (there are actually more groups, but let's not complicate things! ) First of all, it's been inhabited for thousands of years by the Vedda people (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vedda), an aboriginal culture that lived in harmony with nature, and who are not as many today as they used to be. During these ancient times, the Island was known as Trapobana (Ταπροβανᾶ) by the greeks, and was said to be inhabited by anthropophagous demons by indians (the Mahabharata designated Lanka as the kingdom of the legendary demon Ravana and his clan). Then, according to a buddhist source, the Mahavamsa, Prince Vijaya and his 700 companions set foot on the Island in the middle of the 6th century BC, the very day the Buddha died. They allegedly came from a kingdom in North eastern India, in today's Bengal. Vijaya was said to descend from a lion, hence the name "sinhalese" or "sinhala": the lion people". He founded the kingdom of Tambapanni (543 BC - 505 BC), but having no descendant to succeed him asked his nephew Panduvasdeva to come from India, and rule his kingdom after his death. However, his nephew had not arrived yet when he died, so he left his minister Upatissa to be the regent (the latter is nevertheless considered as a king, in the official list of sinhalese kings). When Panduvasdeva finally arrived, he was established as the new king and founded his own dynasty: the house of Vijaya, which was going to last until 66 AD. During the rule of the sinhalese monarchs, the veddas fled in the forests and mountains of the center of the island, and new invaders came to test the power of the Anuradhapura Kingdom, established in 474 BC, after several changes of capital cities. These invaders were tamils from Southern India. They had strong armies and superior navy, and they succeeded into seizing the throne of Anuradhapura several times during its long history, sometimes for a short period, sometimes for a longer period (some kings being wise and respected even by the Sinhalese people, as King Elara- 205 - 161 BC) only to be driven out every time by a sinhalese counterattack. However they finally destroyed and sacked Anuradhapura for the last time in 1017 AD, occupying it for 53 years. From this moment, tamils had established a permanent foothold on Sri Lanka, and founded several kingdoms. The sinhalese would never come back in their old capital, and instead moved to Pollonaruwa, during the medieval times. Modern Sri Lanka has been shaped by the turbulent history between sinhalese (roughly 70% of the population) and tamils, the last chapter of this conflict being the civil war from 1982 to 2009 between the secessionist "tamil tigers" of the LTTE, and the government of Sri Lanka (also comprising tamils in its ranks), who would finally be victorious. I'm not going to enter political debates here, I'm just summing up some facts. What distingues the most sinhalese people from tamils and other indians, are their attachment to buddhism (theravada buddhism). They always (at least since the reign of Devanampiya Tissa) have seen their island as a holy sanctuary for buddhist tradition. They possess numerous relics from the buddha (for example, a tooth from the buddha, and a sacred tree born from an offspring of the famous tree under which the budha attained the enlightenment) and feel a great pride abour it. The island remained a buddhist fortress during the times where the Mauryan empire collapsed in India (thus considering the kingdom of Anuradhapura as the true heir to Ashoka's legacy would not be inappropriate), during the Shunga, and Gupta dynasties, and even if it has been conquered since by the Portuguese, which brought catholicism, the Dutch, and the English, which brought protestantism, and also received the influence of muslim merchants, bringing Islam into the island, the inner core of the country remained the sinhalese buddhist community. It's because of this attachment of buddhism as part of their destiny, that Sinhalese were fierce and indomitable fighters when invaders threatened their soil, because they considered themselves as guardians of this sacred legacy, and some still feel this way today... Therefore, as far as the mod is concerned, my proposal would depict the Sinhalese during the time of the early Anuradhapura Kingdom (267 BC to 60 AD) which mostly covers the era of Vijaya Dynasty. It could also be possible to cover the middle Anuradhapura Kingdom (66 AD to 515 AD) which would cover the first part of the era of Lambakanna dynasty, and the rise of the Moriya dynasty. Here's the list of sinhalese monarchs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Sinhalese_monarchs I will post more elements soon. Regards.

Mostly WildfireGames should be able to host rated games, so that we can figure out who left the game. Especially it is also possible to just ban the opponent from the match. So it's currently not possible to count the game as a loss without rewriting many things. If you see that player online next time, ping me and we can perhaps make him resign a game to give you the rating and if he repeats the offense, he can become banned.

Apparently you've never seen me play! hahaha

@andrea.bettini Please take a look at this: With hard work and dedication, together with the help and support from everyone that's interested, I hope to create a fully functional mod to include the Kingdom of Kush as a fully playable civilization, and show the development team that the addition of the Kushites to the vanilla game is a logical addition of value, in terms of historically relevant diversity (ethnic/religious/cultural as well as ecological, biotope/maps), interesting and unique gameplay, beautiful aesthetics and a fresh, exotic new faction to boast about in a future alpha release. A similar, much more developed (playable) mod has already been developed, featuring the Han Chinese, called Rise of the East: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?/forum/423-rise-of-the-east/

oh so it does change I'll check that myself in-game

This can be found in the phase tech json files, opened by any text editor such as notepad or notepad++. For example, we see this for Town phase: "tooltip": "Advance to Town Phase, which unlocks more structures and units. Territory radius for Civic Centers increased by +30%. Citizen soldiers max health increased by +20%. All structures +7 garrisoned regeneration rate.", "modifications": [ { "value": "TerritoryInfluence/Radius", "multiply": 1.30, "affects": "CivCentre" }, { "value": "Health/Max", "multiply": 1.2, "affects": "CitizenSoldier" }, { "value": "Capturable/GarrisonRegenRate", "add": 7.0, "affects": "Structure" } ], And this for City phase: "tooltip": "Advance to City Phase, which unlocks more structures and units. Territory radius for Civic Centers increased by another +50%. Citizen soldiers max health increased by +10%. All structures +9 garrisoned regeneration rate.", "modifications": [ { "value": "TerritoryInfluence/Radius", "multiply": 1.50, "affects": "CivCentre" }, { "value": "Health/Max", "multiply": 1.1, "affects": "CitizenSoldier" }, { "value": "Capturable/GarrisonRegenRate", "add": 9.0, "affects": "Structure" } ], To put it succuinctly, all citizen soldiers gain health when phasing up.

And to add. I just remembered: Units now gain experience with each hit, not with each kill... they get loot for killing.

Best and worst factions: Even I can't tell But I'll just comment based on popularity: Best: Britons Worst: Carthage Phase 2: 4-8 mins Phase 3: 10-15 mins OP Units: Slingers against buildings (especially Phase 1), Spear Cavs for Rushes, Boudicca's Aura Build Orders - Can't comment. I think your old videos are still applicable. You just need to update it to Alpha 21. Corrals because, for some reason, Cavalry Rushing has become popular Rams / Elephants - Still your typical siege weapons. Ranged Siege Units are nearly impractical Capturing Champions destroy/capture faster Garrisoned structures are much more difficult to capture Lowering a structure's HP will make it easier (hence siege weapons still play a role) Booming to 300 at any time. Not good (Just because of Alpha's lag issue) Best player (at the moment): borg- Sometimes I think PhyZic. Other Notable Players: Jeane Claude, and soloooyo - These guys have playstyles that are worth noting. Special Strategy: Gauls' Naked Fanatic Rush, Iberian Fire Ships, Iberian Siege Horse Hit-and-Run Tactics, and yes Slinger and Cav Rushes. The Persian Chariot Rush, though viable, is not used often (at least in the replays). Getting Champions and Heroes (Not sure. Maybe ASAP as you as you get to City Phase?) Mods: DE - I don't feature this because my graphics card just can't do justice. DE is made to be played with graphics maxed. Terra Magna - The "new" kid. I was told that Rise of the East merged with the Mesoamerican Mod to make this

Update on the cataphract horseman texture (iron) fixed the leg area skin tone (iron) added bronze variant

Iberians are the best with Romans. Other guys can answer. corral aren't the answer to, but fishingband hunting is the best. @borg- @sphyrth DelendacEst is great mod

I think the Sempai (teacher) became a Kohai (student) ^^

Atlas map editor screenshot Texture file

Very nice videos lately! Makes me want to do it too again!

@OuGaming We just search for the most recent posts about 0 A.D.... regardless of how many subs a channel has.

There is a special category in Trac for tickets that can be tackled by new developers https://trac.wildfiregames.com/report/16

There is a side effect of your way: you have 200 wood, you want to build a house, select it and try to place, suddenly you can't build it, because you have only 50 wood, and you think: "Who stole my wood?". But it's not a stealing, just some building spent this wood on a queued unit. Another example, when you've been attacked in one place, you need create many units there, but all resources are spending in other CC, so you need to click over all buildings and cancel queues. Also there is a problem with priorities, because every situation has an own priorities, which unit should be created first. And in case when buildings spend resources when needed, it may happen that units with low priorities will be created before units with high priorities. So this way will be a complex task. So I'd prefer the current way or combined (suggested by @civilis), because it allows to control the resource flow with big precision.

Check this novel, this is 0 A.D retaking the history, what happen if the Religions Abramaic never influence the world and Rome ever be strong and don't have crisis.

{ "value": "BuildRestrictions/Category", "replace": HouseT, "affects": "House" } Alright this type of code also doesn't work. But would be good to implement in future. Thanks for help.

Sinhalese civilization draft (first part): Anuradhapura Kingdom (also known as Rajarata Kingdom): Possible Kings/Heroes: - Early Anuradhapura Kingdom (0ad empires ascendant timeline): Historical sources are debatable, because the main source of documentation is the "Mahavamsa" a semi-historical chronicle of the early kings deeds, written by buddhist monks, with some mythical elements mixed into it...There are still some unquestionable facts, such as the very existence of the kings, and their conquests and military feats, which have been historically established. + Devanampiya Tissa (307 BC - 267 BC): introduced Buddhism in his kingdom through establishing a diplomatic relationship with Mauryan Emperor Ashoka, from which he supposedly received a seed from the Sacred tree where the Buddha attained enlightenment, and Ashoka's own son Mahinda which became the founder of the first Sangha (buddhist monk community) on the Island. + Dutugamunu (161 BC - 137 BC): Defeated King Elara, an usurping Tamil prince from the Chola Dynasty who conquered the throne of Anuradhapura in 205 BC. He allegedly had under his command legendary warriors: "ten giant warriors": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ten_Giant_Warriors + Valagamba (103 BC and 89-77 BCE): He defeated tamil invaders, after 14 years of occupation from the latters, and built the Abhayagiri Dagoba (Stupa) Other important kings (later period): + Gajabahu I (114 AD - 136 AD): Very devout king, invaded tamil lands to save his captured soldiers. + Dhatusena ( 455 AD - 473 AD): repulsed numerous indian invasions, and established the first navy. He increased the water distribution capacity by building eighteen irrigation tanks. Also famous for having being murdered by his own son: + Kashyapa I "the patricide" , or "the mad king" (473 AD - 495 AD) who would finally been slain by his brother Moggallana, true heir to the throne, after an epic battle. During his reign, the capital city was moved from Anuradhapura to Sigiriya ("The Tooth rock"), an impregnable fortress where he felt safe (that didn't save him though):
