Right, I think taking cues from other games is appropriate if those features make sense together in the overall gameplay context. I think they would. In fact, to integrate these ideas better into the game, perhaps you don't build a storehouse on a slot, but rather you "capture" the storehouse that's already there, and now the Mine Shaft or Stone Quarry is yours.

Don't resurrecting heroes is an interesting idea. I like it

@The Undying Nephalim Can you try again it should work now.

Well in the meantime before I can open up and edit maps again...

actual:

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Have you planned on adding gold as other resource and add unique gold mines, theres mercenary camp in your gameplay features but what about gold mines and mini factions near them for 3 purposes: slavery market, trading post, or enemies to capture the gold mine (maybe slaves as a loot resources from destroying houses). i apologize if I'm not very explicit I'm using phone browser.

I can imagine those gameplay features thats something i realy loved from The Settlers: Heritage of kings and never saw those features again, all those changes remind me some games i played before "Dawn of War, Warcraft/Starcraft, The Settlers" all with unique gameplays with Pros and Cons, i have high hopes on Delenda Est if all those ideas reach their potential because i love all those games but none of them have the easy customization 0 AD have and you can get bored very fast if you end the campaing.

Gorgeous! I love the new shield! Although it seems to curve inwards at the top and bottom, while it's ok/preferable for this shield to be flat (was attached to a wooden frame). Remember the shield belongs to the Britons, and is inappropriate for the Gallic Viridomarus. On another note, that old helmet is the Ciumesti helmet from Romania (bronze). It has been featured in 2 famous Angus McBride illustrations, one of which shows Brennus sacking Delphi, making Brennus a nice choice to give that helmet to. Not saying it actually belonged to Brennus though... Which Brennus is featured in 0AD by the way? The one that sacked Delphi (279 BC) or the one that sacked Rome (390 BC)? I'm guessing Rome, right? Also the helmet can be animated. Those wings had some kind of hinges allowing them to "flap" with the movement of the wearer. So: Bronze Shield: for a British hero, preferably Cassivelaunus. Winged Helmet: for a Gallic hero, preferably Brennus. So, Cassivelaunus, chieftain/king and commander of the combined British forces opposing Caesars second invasion of Britain seems like the number 1 choice. The four kings of Kent: Cingetorix ("king of warriors"), Carvilius, Taximagulus and Segovax, who allied themselves with Cassivelaunus and attacked the Romans who had laid siege to Cassivelaunus stronghold north of the Thames river, seem like interesting secondary choices.

@Lion.Kanzen Valihrant is really good and funny. Have you looked at his video using women only then rams to beat I guess the medium AI. Really fun

You're absolutely right. I'd definitely give that helmet and shield to Brythonic heroes. Potentially, both items to the guy you mentioned: I'd be perfectly cool with removing those three Briton heroes in favor of 3 better-placed heroes. Can keep those original 3 in Atlas with the intention of giving them back to the Britons in Part 2 to fight against the Principate Romans.

Not much information on your system but as a guess try updating your video drivers then run the game again with the minimum graphical options if that does not work please follow this https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ReportingErrors just post interestinglog.html and system_info.txt that should give us a better idea on what is actually going on. Enjoy the Choice

I'm just passing by to say i'm going to steal those references and see if i can do something.

@wackyserious & @wowgetoffyourcellphone and others interested in Gauls and Britons. I noticed 2 mistakes in the Gaul Hero units: Brennus, a hero for the Gauls, is using a Brittonic Celtic helmet, namely the "Waterloo Helmet" which was found in London Viridomarus, a hero for the Gauls, is carrying a Brittonic Celtic shield, namely the "Battersea Shield", also found in London. The Waterloo Helmet (Celtic Britons, London): The Battersea Shield (Celtic Britons, London) Celtic Britons: Cassivelaunus, an important British chieftain. Why isn't this guy, who led the defence against Caesar's second invasion of Britain in 54 BC, a hero for the Britons? Instead we have the anachronistic Boudica, Caratacus and Cunobeline, who are literally all from the wrong time-period?! I'm all for widening the current time-frame of 0AD, but why only for the Britons? Both the helmet and the shield are famous, which makes these mistakes rather noticeable... In addition, the Celtic Briton heroes look a little underwhelming compared to the Gallic ones, which makes the using the epic Brittonic reference material for the Gauls more questionable. There's plenty of epic Gallic references to use for Gallic Heroes. Mainland Celts, good references for Gauls: Celtic Raid on northern Greece Hallstatt Celts attack Etruscans in northern Italy

A few things I really hope will be eventually included in 0 A.D.: make adding, renaming, or removing damage types as easy as changing resources; hack/pierce/crush is currently hard-coded; if one were to make a fantasy mod, he'd probably want to have different damage types, e.g. fire, ice, lightning, poison, etc. have a generic armour, which applies to all damage types, unless otherwise specified display gatherer counts ( https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/643 ) automatically display attack multipliers (cf. auras) and remove the need to manually specify bonus attacks in tooltip strings I guess these features have been requested before, but it doesn't hurt asking again
