That's gonna be a pain, but that will be good for artist work. Cleaning up will be nice. Some models might get some fixes as well I count on @Alexandermb to make some anims, and I have a new boar ready, and enrique's fox to commit.

As Stan said, for most lagging moments the rendering doesn't spend much time in comparison with the pathfinder. LOD can be supported on the engine side, but the instancing already has prototype. LOD is best when all models are different/some models are highpoly, Instancing is best when all models are the same. I.e. LOD would be better for buildings like CC or Wonder with many polygons. instancing - for many similar trees. But again quoting Stan, LOD requires an artist work. That's the good idea, reusing may save memory and performance.

moderately difficult (multiplatform game) and look at other posts from this guy and @vladislavbelov I wanted previously to use the system for LODS from supertuxkart engine that with small modifications could be applied.

Would be good to change the model of the nordic chainmail infantry with something like this. with a little more weight for make it look like its really using cloth + chainmail.

I made a wall set for my mod and im looking for the file to change the wall set for a faction, but being blind as a bat i cant seem to make sense of where its located. I'll keep looking, but help would be greatly appreciated.

I like that very much!

"If you wanna make it loo more realistic, push the scene over the edge, again, go for an external renderer" xd

I can't remember but I think the rendering is like 20% of the frame time time. Pathfinder goes way higher than that. Doing instancing might help more than LODS. I was thinking of stripping every prop from the structures so that multiple meshes can be reused all over.

Well it depends on who is going to do it. There are a few things to take into account. One code. There is no code that switches objects depending on graphic options. Two actors. It's still code but it will have to be done by artists by either adding model variants to every actor files. Three models. In general LODS are made manually by artists. That's a time consuming process. The only automatic LoD system I saw was taleworlds. A few years I guess assuming we start now. It would only help on older computers. I thought of making a low polygon mode with the old units old horse old camels etc but it's a lot of work.

I decided to remove their tunic and reduce the fur coverings to depict them as somewhat naked which is how they are described in the sagas and in recovered artifacts. The berserker in the Total war mod above is not accurate since it is wearing a chainmail which contrasts the description of how berserkers fought.

In case we want to create a dark fantasy faction we can re-use the pelt textures. I find their new appearance dreadful too.

Look like Hollow soldier from Dark Souls.

There is no unit counter concept, so no, spear cav does not have a usage. Just like about any other unit. Spam economy, go to a higher phase and spam champions instead if you want to win matches, they have lots of HP and damage. There is no such thing as a buildorder or unit transition in 0 ad.

Hello, In the attached file you can see "keko2 (1318)" quitting a ranked 1v1 thank you for your help. @Hannibal_Barca @user1 commands.txt

Hello, I just want to report a 1v1 ranked quitter called : "Schweinepriester (1551)" you can see the game in the file attached @user1 commands.txt @Hannibal_Barca

I am currently doing so

@Coronaut I'm really sorry I missed your message. If you are still around, I'd like you to try to disable GLSL and post-processing in the game options. That should fix it. @alegerke31 Your error seem to be related to your graphics card. I'd try the above fix, and if it doesn't work, I'd try to update your drivers.

HWS Medieval Norse (Viking) Woman Warrior/Shieldmaiden Concept - Historically Wrong Sketch Series ==Historical Commentaries==='789: In this year King Beorhtric took to wife Eadburh, daughter of King Offa. And in his days there came for the first time three ships of Northmen, from Hörthaland: and the reeve rode thither and tried to compel them to go to royal manor - for he did not know what they were - and they slew him. These were the first ships of the Danes to come to England.' - Thus, the first written report of the Viking Raids by the Anglo-Saxons, the Vikings first victim and later on, their swore enemies. In our modern society, the Norse Vikings have occupied a rather romanticized image, especially in popular media. While their portrayal lies somewhere between the most fantastic of fantasy, to the grimmest accuracy, it is without doubt that these so called Norse vikings that originated from Scandinavia, have left a long lasting mark in the history of Europe....and perhaps, even beyond that of what we now perceive. Historically speaking, Viking itself is the Old Norse word for "Sea Expedition", and since many of these "Vikings" were encountered with their longboats on their seaborn/seafaring expedition, they were referred a such. Norse, or Norsemen, is an umbrella term for the group of Scandinavians, the Norwegian, Danes and Swedish, who shared a common language, religion and short of common culture. Despite the generalization, Scandinavian societies during the viking age were mostly self-contained and there was hardly any unity between the Norse people during the viking age; every village, tribes and communities were practically an independent power of their own. Not all of them were there barbaric warriors as media often depicted them to be however, The Norsemen were also famous for their artisans, craftsmanship, poetry as well as Traders.The Vikings entered mainstream history in 793 AD, where the sudden burst of Viking Norse raiders and their subsequent expeditions from their homeland in Scandinavia, terrorized most of the known world. To assume that the the Viking-era started in this year is somewhat not very precise, since Norsemen took part in trades and expeditions much earlier than that. Initially, it was the Norwegian who started the raiding activities, but the Danes and the Swedish followed shortly after. Norwegian Vikings first raided settlements in Orkney, Hebrides, Shetlands and Isle of Man, but shortly after the Norwegian and Danes settled in the area and established their firm base, before turning their eye towards Ireland. By mid 9th century, the had established trading cities in Eastern Coast of Ireland such as Dublin, Wexford, Cork, Waterford and Limerick. The vikings in Ireland made little attempt to go beyond their raiding and trading activities, probably because the local Irish population were too warlike and hostile, even for the Norsemen taste. They gradually merged with the local population, giving the identity of Gaels or Norse-Gaellic, but the last of the Vikings were defeated by the united Irish army in 1014 under the High King Brian Boru. Apart from Ireland, the Norwegian Vikings had established colonies in Iceland and Newfoundland in Canada, making them one of the earliest European explorer who encountered America long before Columbus in late 15th century. Swedish Vikings gave an interesting perspective as compared to their Danish and Norwegian brethren, since their Viking-ing activities took part mostly in Eastern Europe. The Swedes had been trading along the Baltic centuries since at least early 7th centuries, but the actual raid led by the Vikings (including swedish) took place at 852 AD, when they attacked Novgorod and demanded "Danegeld" from its citizen. They would proceed further with their activities along the Volga River, settling down in the region and ruled the local slavic population who reffered them as 'Rus'. The extend of the vikings (Mainly Swedish) activity in Russia is somewhat debatable, but in contrast to their Danish and Norwegian counterpart, it was mostly focused on trading and settling. Of course, by "trading and settling", such activities would often resulted in conflict with the local population, and more often than not, when arms were called, battle took place which yields loots, lands and slaves.Danish Vikings, on the other hand, were seen as a much more ambitious Vikings compared to their northern brethren. Their activities mainly focused along the English channel and western coast of the British Isles. They appeared in 834 and cam in force, giving a rather terrorizing image to their victims. Not Only that, the Danes raided settlements as far as Tours, Orleans, Asturias and these activities of raiding took part annually. The Danes were perhaps famous for Invading England and establishing their own rule from Northumbria to east Anglia called the Danelaw. For the next centuries, the Danes would wrestle the control of England with the Anglo-Saxons, but they were eventually defeated in the early 10th century by the combined forces of Edward the Elder and Aethelflaed of Mercia. Another famous example is the settling of Danes (mostly) along the northern coast of france, which was given by the Frankish King to the Danes, giving birth to the name of Normandy and their descendant, the Normans who later became one of Europe's most fearsome war-machine. By the turn of the 11th and 12th century, the Vikings activities had largely ceased to exist. This was contributed to several factors which includes the spread of Christianity in Scandinavia, as well as the lack of weak "raiding target" since most of their neighbors have developed a much more organized military system and stronger defense in their frontiers (which makes raids less profitable and more dangerous).
