I'm sorry, but you can't do it. You can load a single-player saved game, but not a multiplayer one. You can continue playing it only in single player with Al, I guess. (I had the same doubt when I started playing 0ad)2 points

Xiongnu, Scythians, Huns. I've created preliminary versions of each in my Delenda Est Git repository here: https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est Obviously the nomadic civs should have some similar attributes. No territory bonus or restrictions Consequently, their buildings have -50% health and loyalty Raiding and Looting bonuses A focus on cavalry Cavalry units can build Livestock bonus, called "Pastoralism." Packable buildings Some kind of raiding/loot bonus Mobile "cart" dropsite that can upgrade into a storehouse or yurt Starts each match with a free Yurt (house) No stone walls, they get Palisades in City Phase instead. Uncovered battering ram = 4 armored dudes carrying a log around Some female military units, either as actor variations or standalone templates But each should have its own civ specific traits. Xiongnu Team Bonus: ? Xiongnu battering ram can upgrade to a covered battering ram More armor techs? Falcon Scout special starting unit Falcon Huntress special hunting/scouting unit Anything? Scythians Team Bonus: Goldsmith Mastery: Allied gatherers +10% metal gathering rate, allied technologies -10% metal cost A "settlement" option Removes packing ability Adds a territory effect and health bonus to 75% of standard? Unlocks Fortress and Stone Walls Bosporan "Greek" mercenaries Headhunter female champion cavalry Royal Scythian heavy champion cavalry Anything? Huns Team Bonus: Winds of the Steppe: Allied Cavalry +10% speed and +1 pierce armor No "elite" rank? Starting structures are all in the "Packed" state, meaning they always start in a quasi-nomad mode A wide variety of "mercenaries" based on their subject peoples: Goths, Alemanni, Alans, et al. Traction catapult? Anything?1 point

i atk when i have full pop and sieges or sieges and almost full pop (i play on max200), or when i got attacked and won while still having units. i dont atk without sieges usually but a lot of players like to bully this way in early game i think you are struggling cuz your enemy has more units1 point

Huns, yeah, not much attesting to female warriors, while the Scythians and Xiongnu do. I think the Xiongnu could have some female actor variations, while the Scythians would have a couple of actual female unit templates. I could make the Scythian scout cavalry a female unit, maybe "Maiden Scout." And then maybe a "Headhunter" champion cav? "Royal Scythians" seem to have been their ruling class, so that could be a heavily armored mixed-gender champion melee cav? For the Huns, it would be cool if they could use the lasso in some way as attested. Some kind of special attack which "stuns" the attacker and target in place, allowing for an allied unit to kill the target unmolested. But that requires a general "special attacks" feature. The Hunnic "cavalry circle" maneuver would be a cool feature/formation. Right now, I simulate Parthian Tactics with a tech that gives their ranged cavalry the old "MinRange" kiting effect again, which is good enough for now. Works as intended to annoy the fug out of the enemy. lol Certainly noted, and would work nice for Terra Magna too. Right. I think the Scythian "Great Settlement" option could unlock the Fortress and Stone Walls for them. Every civ really needs some kind of Wonder. I thought "Royal Kurgan" burial mound could be that. Perhaps the Hun wonder would be a fanciful, but interesting large horse warrior statue or something. Xiongnu armor was quite elaborate as well. Scythian armor definitely had some cross influence with the Persians and Greeks. Some Scythians even wore Greek helmets. Persians adopted many Scythian fashions. We could just say that the Huns would generally have somewhat less impressive armor than the Scyths and Xions. Don't kill me, @Nescio, it was just a general observation. Though, their Gothic and Alan troops may be elaborately armored at the higher ranks. Alans essentially armored as cataphracts. Oh, certainly. Perhaps as a general bonus, plus some techs that can "level up" this effect. We really need Corrals to work as was originally intended, with animal capturing AOE-style, so we can have nomads riding in and stealing your cattle and sheeps.1 point

Individually upgrading CC's could help. "city phase" for the Scythians would give them access to permanent structures? For Xiongnu could also provide access to fortifications in "city phase"...1 point

I could see Germanic civs having such an option in City Phase. Call it "Migration".1 point

in SC2 , WC3 this feature exist unfortunately not here would be nice if someone can include it although there are higher priority stuff to add at the moment , in SC2 it works like this: user can save the game then when user wants to load the game a new screen appear and players can join (like a lobby) then one player start it and game continue from the state that saved ..1 point

Right, but the Goths seemed to inhabit the steppe initially. Hence my musing. And they were quite nomadic.1 point

Delenda Est has the same problem, because each civ has male/female citizens and slaves in the same unit. I feel like audio stuff should go in the actors, but there's probably a good reason its in the templates. Just need a way to differentiate male/female voices for the randomized actors and I think that would need to go in the actors. Anyone else have any thoughts? Is there a ticket for this?1 point

What I really can't stand when I am playing a MMO/RTS/RPG online with English speakers is they ask me "why don't you speak perfect English" ? To start I can speak enough English to have a conversation with an English speaking person. I learned English in school from the time I was little, but I didn't feel it was necessary to learn "perfect" and "all" English because I am Norwegian,and I live in Norway,and I do fine around here in this little village of Hordaland lol Who else lives here ? Yes we do have a diversity of people that live here now as I am not full Norwegian myself,my mum is full swedish {Yes I can speak Swedish also}. I am a 50/50 lol So I get rude players telling me the only good thing about my accent is it is cute. So I start talking my language and their shocked at how powerful/valiant/and crisp I really speak lol I still don't know every word on English perfect,and sometimes I have to ask "what is that word you say in English that means "to be arrogant" ? I don't have my vowels down perfect,and why should I ? So yes there are the people that call you "Euro Trash" when you don't agree with them lol What does "Euro trash" mean anyways ? Last time I looked in the mirriour I seen a very clean,and hard working Norwegian.1 point

I do not know whether monthly is already too frequent for SPI But that was Aviv's concern about the idea.1 point

I discussed Patreon (and Liberapay) with @Jeru: the main limiting factor is SPI's ability to handle the money when it comes in frequent and small amounts. The one-time donations we get already take a lot of time to get to us, so we can't overwhelm SPI's treasury with frequent transactions.1 point

yes people below 1400 like to not resign. and just pretend they are losing net in one way or another (eg launching torrents or taking net cable out) just play 1v1 with people you trust until theres more automatic ban system for leavers and non-resigners. (also, what does it hurtif you lose 10 points? skill will help you get it back) teamgames are waymore fun anyway1 point

Well, the only thing I personally think about talking about a civ emblem is in the 1924 fild "Die Nibelungen" directed by Fritz Lang. I personally have no idea if the emblems that are present in this mute film are really based on history, but all the scenes are very very treated and there is a large study on them (I can confirm having seen it).1 point
