Yeah, sounds complicated and needs some work. You could put wicker behind it then generate random holes. Now with hay roofs.

I was trying to get back a little bit to the game because of HMS_Surprise call so i spectate some games. It was good that some settings like capture the relic as well as starting with very low resources are being introduced. Though my mindset is more focused on more realistic mechanics in SP mode, I found that by spectating an MP game, it’s kind of annoying that because of some of these unrealistic mechanics the game becomes frustrating. Take for example, teleporting resources to an ally can really mess up an interesting game. Although every team has each opportunity but the end result is not satisfactory imo. An unsuspecting target can get raided and the outcome of the game is already decided early on. I think if this game wants to be recognized by lot of gamers it has to have its own identity, a very unique and realistic mechanics. As I was playing Dawn of Man and already spent almost close to 1.6k hours, my mind is murmuring, if 0ad arts and other things are incorporated on this game, it’s going to be really the best game for decades. I don’t think more player’s care about playing time or the game should last just 30 mins on average on MP. This game needs to really focus on developing the single player mode with unique and realistic mechanics to really attract the largest numbers of gamers. I don’t think it’s the MP gamers, imo it’s the SP gamers.

Nuz means egg Wasu means small. This the continuation of the development of our Anunaki unit webito or Nuzwasu.

I had not thought of using the hellenic market as a reference, anyway i already drew it, in a while i upload it and give me your opinion

I think the best looking market in the game is the Spartan market (in DE I use it for the Mace and Athen market too). So anything like that would be my preference: Some kind of small central structure and then a lot of market stalls and such arrayed around it. Unless someone else can supply a good reference instead of course.

I know it is not complete, just comment.

Yeah missing the alpha in the spec for glow

It looks beautiful, soon i will upload conceptual art of market and blacksmith!

Okay so currently Diffuse: RGB as color Three modes : Alpha as transparency, (basic_trans.xml and others) Alpha as player color (player_trans.xml and others) Alpha as color (objectcolor.xml) Normal: (DirectX normal) RGB as Normal information One mode Alpha as parallax height Specular RGB as specular color + specular intensity (the lighter the more shiny) One mode Alpha as glow intensity BUT glow + player_color not supported

No currently you cannot. I asked @vladislavbelov some time ago, and he said he'd look into it if he had time. It's only a missing material, (and the code with it) but technically it's doable. For an example you can look at the stella_artis mod.

The differentiation is valid, but I'd say primarily from a practical military perspective. As I'm sure you're aware, they had massively different roles in the battlefield. Having chariots, which required different housing than the typical horseman's, trained at the same building as horsemen is an abstraction but an abstraction I don't mind. Probably, assuming that chariots would have a viable enough role to justify it, the chariot stables as you mentioned would be the best option for making a decent marriage of sensitivity to historicity and gameplay.

I'd say the matter of chariots being trained at one place compared to another is more a matter of taste. Yes the frame would have been made by a carpenter or the like, but that doesn't account for the horses. It's roughly the same logic as having infantry trained at the blacksmith, where their weapons and armour would be manufactured. I prefer the stable since it gives a more intuitive logic to the game compared to a building that's generally used for making siege.

Crossing fingers for D1958

Phase III Update So I have started building Phase III, but due to my inexperience with ancient history, took a long time. Right now only Athens has been reworked. It is playable, but AI cannot upgrade building yet so it is recommended to not assign AI to Athenians for now. This should be compatible with current version of City Building Mod, but it is recommended to play it separately as I haven't tested the integration fully. Notable changes: Phasing is now automatic, but Agora still has to be upgraded first, from Village center to Town center to City center. Market and Fortress are now unbuildable, but upgradable from buildable village center. Agora can now trade, so bartering can be done in village phase. Athens can now build Siege Workshop and Stable. New units and technologies based on social class. and more. Enjoy and let me know if there's some bug or some gameplay changes that don't make sense. Citizen-Mod.zip

Reducing player color on the wheel to be less colorfull. Improving wheel textures.

Chariot texture test:

Since @wackyserious mentioned he wanted some textures I made a while back as a test, I'll leave them here. I thought originally that they differ a bit from the current artstyle of the game, but if you guys want to push it further, why not. I attached them to the thread. The process I used to get the textures was to model/sculpt high-res meshes, using a human model from makehuman (CC0), then creating PBR materials, and using a "expanded" 0AD mesh as the cage for the baking into the standard unit: This is the model from where it was baked: This below is the "cage mesh" which is just the regular 0AD unit mesh, but expanded to cover all the hi-res model. Then the "real" mesh where it was baked to is in the same pose as the highpoly, and should have exactly the same topology/polycount of the cage. The cage is using when baking to avoid having to deform the standard mesh, and to have a direction in baking rays that would look good on the final mesh: Finally this test was nice, but I thought it was just too much work to re-do all unit textures in this fashion, although as you can imagine, it has the best results: (good AO, perfect normals, much details) which by the way they're a bit innecesary on a RTS game (specially without LODs), even though it looks cool. I must say I followed up a bit this as a personal project to learn about the PBR workflow of blender 2.8 and test the realtime EEVEE engine. Good learning experience: If anyone interested I could upload the blender file with the setup for the baking showed in the first images, although textures and all, it is around 270 MB The textures attached are from the original tests I made, they are in different resolutions and also different render pases, they may be used for achieving different textures if edited too. (Normalmap green channel is already inverted, so it is 0AD-engine ready) Cheers! 0ad unit test hires.rar

version 0.2.7 Made /link command for lobby, gamesetup and in-game

version 0.2.6 Added: Link opener for the lobby (only) How does it work? /linklist: shows the links that did detect in lobby messages, will show a list with a number (index) for each link /link index: will open the link with the index specified, if no index is set will open link index = 0 (the more recent if no links then gives error message) ** Each time it detects a new link it will add it to the list. The link list will be chronologically sorted from newest (index 0) to oldest.

version 0.2.3 Added: Custom map size How does it work? /mapsize number : set map size ** minimum map size is 1, minimum recommended is 50 if less than 128 is possible starting cc wont appear) ** size maps refence: tiny=126 normal=256 gigant=512

version 0.2.2 Added: Custom starting resources Custom population cap How does it work? type: /population number : set the population cap /resources number : set the starting resources ( the same quantity for each type) /help : to see all commands possible

Oh I was sure we eventually released an update to add the kushites. There was a discussion with @implodedok but I guess that was delayed to the new website projecg.
