(Hopefully this is the correct place to post.) Some types of fruit bushes can be very hard to see in game. They're identifiable if you know what to look for when maximally zoomed in (the five in the screenshot below), but not really when you play typically maximally zoomed out. Perhaps something for you, @LordGood?

I'll start one for you today. I have some ... experience in that area

I plead guilty, it's fixed, thanks for the report!

General faction implementaion was committed. Thanks to @Nescio and @Lefty for spearheading the development of the actor and simulation files.

Perhaps an overlay layer for the new shields you guys are making should have some hack damge. Something like this (which was used to make other shields in the game): These shields you make look awesome, but the wood parts are in pristine condition (and the middle part has damage):

Thoughts on this concept for the elite rank Judean slinger?

Stan origins, lol.

Maybe use this for Empires Ascendant? Would be an easy add.

My mod has two Heroes (Sitacles and Teres 1) and three civ bonuses (+5% population bonus, +1 speed but -1 hack and pierce armor, and a champion peltast). I think I planned for the team bonus to be a special Thracian Peltast Merc for allies. The champion units were in my mod were the Thracian Black Cloak, a champion Peltast, and a Calvary Skrimisker.

There is no consistency in the main game on this point, so why must it be so for the Thracians? I'd say use whatever abbreviation best abbreviates and makes clear what civ it is.

The Terra Magna civs use four-letter abbreviations as well (chin, xion, zapo). I'd recommend switching to illy and thra (instead of illyr and thrac) for consistency sooner rather than later, because it'll be more work when more files are added. Plus ships (use mace as placeholder), siege ram (perhaps celt as placeholder), and most importantly, a complete structure set. Also, I made a few pull requests with minor corrections (female citizen etc.)

`mod.json` file is missing (intentional?), also for Illyrians mod. A licence file should be added too. Out of curiosity, why do you use five-letter civ abbreviations (illyr, thrac)? Most 0 A.D. civs have four letters (e.g. brit, celt, gaul, etc.).

I doubt he is misundertsnding the things. He perfectly know what he is saying and doing,

I really don't see what's the misunderstanding, just resign in a rated game and you won't break the rules. This rule is literally written in the lobby, it's not like it is hidden or something. If it isn't a rated game then of course he didn't violate the TOS then.

Text from Lucian of Samosatra. But he is from later epoch.But he recopiled other historian works. http://www.attalus.org/translate/macrobii.html

I use mac and the screen always glitches for a second or so after starting a mod. 0AD window closes weirdly by sliding out of screen, to the right, while a black screen slides in from right to left, revealing my desktop for split second and then the 0AD window with mod activated appears on top of the black screen. No other program slides windows in and out of view like that. It doesn't seem to cause any issues though...

Hasmonean, I was thinking of the Maccabean Revolt. It could expand to the Herodian dynasty, I think.

I am more in favor of a leather or linen cuirass with a disc (cardiophylax) for the interpretation.

Thracian texture sets are now in the SVN version. I will work on some things before committing the functional faction to the repository. Yesterday, I tested this and played as the Thracians versus the Illyrians on the new farmlands map. It was so immersive, I enjoyed it.

Also quite funny from lobby chat afterwards:

Who would be interested in a new mod based solely around Alexander the Great? Gameplay-wise, my idea would be to use Delenda Est as a base, but then disable civs and maps that aren't relevant. I'd create a series of scenarios where the player plays as Alexander and his Macedonians as they rise to power and conquer Asia. Key historical characters can even make an appearance, such as Hephaistion, Parmenion, Craterus, Cleitus, et al. There can be two mods, even. Glory of Alexander follows his rise and conquests, while Legacy of Alexander focuses on the Diadochi, or "Successor", factions. Glory of Alexander Scenario 1: Chaeronea. Young Alexander and his father Philip face the Athenians and Thebans. Both Alexander and Philip must survive and all members of the enemy Sacred Band must be eliminated. Scenario 2: Philip has been murdered and Alexander takes his place as king. Thebes takes this chance to revolt against Macedonian rule. Besiege the town of Thebes and make an example out of them. etc etc

Did someone already ported this faction as a mod for the standard game? I am also interested in having a Theban faction mod that works as a standard faction for the game. IIRC, there was a repository names thebans before? Was there? I cannot really remember.

@LordGood @Enrique This is a shield mesh created by @Alexandermb from Millennium AD which was also used in DE for the Semitic units. Would you recommend this for the standard game or is the tri count too much and not ideal for implementation?

That was the spirit of CoM. Council of Modders. Same as @Atenmeses52

Changed it, sorry. Not really that familiar with Github and non-art related files.

I am boss, but not thee boss. BIGGIEBOUSE BIGGIEBOUSE BIGGIEBIGGIEBIGGIEBOUSE.

"Some"... No... "a lot "suit better. You are the boss you know. What you think about team bonuses?

Yeah, variations of it are quite common along the entire Sahara and Sudanic Belt, from Southern Morocco, Mauritania, Senegal in the West, through Mali, Burkina Faso, Southern Algeria, Niger, Northern Nigeria, Southern Libya, Chad, Northern Central African Republic, Sudan, Egypt and parts of the Levant and Arabian Peninsula. Probably has many different names in many different languages. People like Tuareg, Sanhaja and other Berbers (Imazighen), African Arabs (like the Baggara), Egyptian, North African and Middle Eastern Bedouins, Toubou, Zaghawa, Kanembu, Fulani, Hausa and others wear variations of it (some more ornate than others). Mostly worn by nomadic cattle herders and long distance traders, or aristocratic cavalry people. Mostly Muslims wear it, but as the wiki page you linked suggests, I'm also convinced that the look predates the advent of Islam by a long time.

Unfortunately I don't know how to move files via a pull request. However, if you (temporarily) give me commit access, I could push the changes from a local repository.

That wouldn't be because you turned off shadows? lol It's true, those particular bushes suck though.

Cavalry are already OP. If your opponent is focused only on infantry, raid his countryside. They can't work while chasing you, and if they don't chase you capture and destroy buildings. Don't engage any large forces, just hit and run.

Judean-Idumeans? They have king herod and anothers.

Does it happen with every mod? Did you select multiple mods at once? My guess is that the “crazy” behaviour is caused by a mod that overrides some of the default settings. If I were you, I would try out a few mods one by one (select and enable a mod, save configuration, start mods, see if it works, then deselect it and repeat for a different mod), starting with a simple one, e.g. `no-blood-and-gore-mod`.

Hmm, I'd rather this be a game menu item to where you can toggle between your units' default attack type. Similar to how you could set default unit stances in AOE games.

@Alexandermb Something like this, similar to what we have in Millennium AD

Added Brass and Gold variant for future faction shields upate: Also added more Bright and Contrast to the actual iron: Before props texture:

I comprehend that this is a leather vest topped with a disc pectoral armor and at the bottom of it are pteruges right? Or a thick woven body armor to complement the plated helmet that was made from wicker?

a.) At its current state, no (A commit which is due within a couple of days might make this playable for players who use the SVN version of the game) b.) Not sure about compatibility, others could answer this, maybe

This thread needs a proper design document.

Alpha stage...

I think that a list of the currently active hot-keys should be added to this thread as it would highlight the fact that there are in fact very few not used key combos available for any new hot key this apart from the how it would work with non QWERTY keyboard layouts. Enjoy the Choice

Yeah, popular culture has an obsession with writing important black Africans out of history, and then reinserting blacks into places they don't historically belong. It's very frustrating. For example last year BBC came out with a miniseries called Troy: Fall of a City. They made Achilles a black man... WHY?! They even made Zeus a black man... WHY?! But Memnon, one of the key figures in the war, was completely written out of the story, as usual... Memnon was considered to be almost Achilles' equal in skill, and was loved by Zeus himself! They removed an actual black king from the actual story, and replaced one of the main white protagonists with a black man instead. Why are they doing this??? Aaaargh?!@# It's just deliberately designed to stir controversy... Interestingly, the dating of the Trojan war has been a little uncertain, and the consensus has already shifted a century or so... Since the 3rd century BC at least, the ancients identified the Egyptian Pharaoh Amenhotep III, as Memnon (according to Ptolemaic Egyptian priest Manetho, also see Colossi of Memnon). Amenhotep III, a black pharaoh of the 18th Dynast (New Kingdom), ruled only a century or so before the current dating of the Trojan war. There is little basis to confirm Amenhotep III as the mythical Memnon, but it's interesting, to say the least, and there were others called Amenhotep, after him as well, including at least one viceroy of Kush... Also, The Egyptian Empire actually bordered Anatolia during this period... And during the reign of Ramesses II, the treaty of Khadesh was signed, a peace treaty between the Hittites and the Egyptians (around the time of the Trojan war). Ramesses II was succeeded by Merneptah. During the New Kingdom, Kush was part of Egypt and Egyptian armies had large numbers of Kushites serving (often referred to as Nubians in modern writing). Ramesses and Merneptah actually fought of invasions from "sea peoples", and the whole history of the Eastern Mediterranean seems very intertwined... Amenhotep III, and Memnon:

I think the best way to clear any CC-BY-SA violations is to talk to the commercial game developers and point out what they have to do to be in compliance with the CC-BY-SA license. For example, make them aware, that they have to give credit to the creator or creators of CC-BY or CC-BY-SA licensed art and models.

The "grass hill"thing did not blend well with different maps. I like this one I make because it can blend with any map.

Very well handled. After looking at quite a few of his posts in the past I completely agree with the staff's decision, as even this is being lenient. Romulus if you are reading this then I would be grateful for the fact that the staff has allowed this to continue for as long as it has. They are even giving you one last chance despite your failure to take advantage of your many chances in the past to clean yourself up. if you seriously wish to improve your behavior and rejoin the community then I challenge you to read on and prove feneur wrong. Otherwise, please don't waste everyone's time any further if you don't seriously wish to improve. I recommend that you take a walk or whatever it is that helps you think, and then sit down and make a list of things that you need to improve in your posts at wildfiregames' forums. Politely pm a couple of the staff members to help you and politely ask them to explain anything you don't understand. Proofread every pm you write twice before you send it. Once right after you write it and once after taking a break and doing other things. You may want to save pm's and posts in a word document so you can look at them later to check for any bannable errors. You need to be as careful as you can to prevent yourself from slipping up. If you enter a state where you feel anger or rage then take a break and come back to the computer with a cool head. Overall, remember to use common sense and treat others like you would like to be treated. Gratuitous swearing, insults, or trolling will get you banned. If you must be rude and flame someone don't do it at this extremely early stage in your rehabilitation. Just don't say anything at all until you can post without being rude. Later on, at least be smart and creative about it if you must do it at all(Again, it is best to not do it at all!). Don't go calling others names or insulting their [insert adjective here]. In general, you'll never go wrong by being nice, polite and mature. There is a general etiquette that the community members follow that you can only learn through reading and posting but here are a few examples: Jokes at the expense of someone's gender, race, religious affiliation, or sexual orientation are not acceptable.DO NOT POST IN ALL CAPS EVER AGAIN. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE SCREAMINGPost your topics in the appropriate forum. If you can't find a topic you created, politely pm a staff member about it and do NOT under ANY circumstances make a new topic to ask what happened to the original topic or to just re-post what just got moved/removed. Don't post NSFW content, this isn't the place for it.Don't spam.Don't go overboard with meme's, and don't post any meme that may be considered rude or insulting.Respect veterans of the community, they have been here long enough to acquire a certain level of respect from others.It is very important to carefully consider the context of the conversation and the user you are responding to. Make sure you are informed on a discussion before posting your thoughts as that topic you thought from the title was about berries might have evolved into a conversation about giraffes and elephants. Don't be a backseat moderator or post just for the sake of being rude or posting without contributing anything in general. Some people bring happiness wherever they go, others whenever they go. Which will you be?
