I discovered this mod a few days ago I have to say I am so hyped! The work you guys did with the Zapotecs is amazing and I can't wait to see the Kushites! Just a minor nitpick, the Zapotec buildings look very bland. Any chance of giving the Zapotec buildings some color? I've seen some depictions where they're painted. I've tried my hand at giving some buildings a red hue to show what I mean. Is it historical or anachronistic for the Zapotecs?

Small suggestion: I would change the message when all relics are captured from "will have won" to "will win". [Edit] Went ahead and created a ticket so it won't get lost in the forums. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/4718#ticket

@LordGoodI guess you're referring to this, Egyptian machicolated balcony... I totally learnt a new word today... I think they were a feature of the Middle Kingdom Egyptian Fortresses in Nubia, which were taken over by the Kushites during the 25th dynasty, and remained under Kushite control until I presume Ptolemy II's Nubian campaign in the 3d century BC, who actually reoccupied some of these fortresses, which had fallen in disuse by then. I can't provide you with conclusive proof of their use, but If you're going heavy on the Egyptian references for the fort, then why not? On this Neo-Assyrian relief, depicting an assault/siege on a fortified Kushite position in Northern Egypt, around 672BCE, something similar to a machicolated balcony can be seen.

my first gameplay.

Hmm I feel like with counters that strong there's no way say 100 hoplites could kill 60 swordsmen. The hoplites would nearly always lose no matter the realistic advantage they have. Also you have cav archers countering everything.

Since the latest forum update, I find it hardy to read the breadcrumb links. Pastel on a shaded background just does not work. Not having any pastel writing at all would be even better. Is it possible to fix that without it being lots of work?

Well, this has been discussed for some time, quite simply I'll put my idea of a counter system. I prefer a hard system where the bonus is high, and you have to use your units wisely, making it almost impossible to win a game with only one type of unit (which happens for some time). Spearman: 3x - All Cavalry; Pikeman: 4x - All Cavalry; Swordman: 2.5x - All Infantry; Archers: 1.5x - All Infantry; Cavalry Swordman: 1.50x - All Ranged (including ranged cavalry); Cavalry Archer: 1.25x - All cavalry, All Infantry; Cavalry Spearman: 2.0x - All Cavalry; Cavalry Skirmisher: 2.0x vs Ranged Infantry; Skirmishers: 2.5x - Ranged Infantry; Slingers: 2.0x - Ranged Infantry; The system includes champions. It is clear that the values may be smaller, but all in equal proportions. Of course, the system requires some changes in the overall balance.

Top bar also lost, connectivity with other WFG stuff like 0 a.d. site, trac, irc.

I did not include the plan to make pyramids the Kushite phase prerequisite yet, since all I had to work with was the old "small" Egyptian pyramid, which is actually quite huge. lol Where? Thanks EDIT: Got it, fixed.

@s0600204 Well thankfully you are here to finish the job Don't worry I get the way back machine each time I have to dig a ticket for someone

Screenshot?

I actually hope to release TM for A22 but I'm having the problem of working on a crappy laptop that isn't able to run 0 A.D. in a playable manner so I can't test things out (not until next weekend)

The circles look so ugly I disabled them in my mod. I'd wish they were simply a part of the TAB feature.

AoEO can't be most realistic example but have lovely color palette. Don't abuse of blue bricks. mix very well the yellow and polish stone, excessive use of plants but isn't bad idea. the other is a very realistic render but with poor texture color. and finally the perfect balance,but don't use plants or props.

I agree, in second thought 2. sounds nice. (Though I won't be the one implementing it, so my opinion is not that relevant ;))

@Lion.Kanzen @fatherbushido said he would review it when A22 came out, he probably didn't have the time yet.

You should, and take some pictures while you're there

lot long at all, just a train ride really lol

Hint: Encouraging people to make war and to kill opponents (all - if you want the conquest victory) is not something which should be encouraged at the start of 21st century, isn't it?

If you were a citizen soldier like an Skirmisher and you found an enemy Mauryan Maiden... or found Boudicca.... in 0 A.D there are strong women.

I have spartans, kushites, ptolemies, construction sites to deal with first. I ought not distract myself any further
