loving the fireflies

@Mina I think we should try to participate this year as well.

“One of the pillars of the Age games has always been ‘a bright, inviting world,’” (Adam Isgreen) ... by trebucheting the other players' walls and then sending your troops to ransack what's left. The reason "Modders will put blood in anyway" seems a little bit off to me. I don't know what they were really thinking.

Anything new?

That was a pretty good match, thanks @sphyrth!

And here is my first measure with a24. Total memory used by 0 A.D. after <TIME> playing on the same system and settings as above for a23.1 - Time: ~2h: 2 GB (all RAM) not 100% sure about the exact game duration as overlay time does not work yet. @Mister the devs I'll give you my impression: after a similar game on a23 about half my storage would be filled with swap and launching eg Firefox-Nightly would freeze the whole system for a good few seconds (note that's on Arch with kernel-ck and muqss ON). With a24 I launched Nightly and pof, the oil factory browser was opened and ready the next second, game still running. Men, the difference is already super impressive At the very least @sphyrth won't have to shred his wallet to buy a gazillion RAM on his next config for sure

Spellforce III looks really good. The contrast could be a little better, but other than that it looks great. I would love to see 0 A.D. evolving into a similar direction. I do like 0 A.D.'s look and feel. The 0 A.D. artists are doing a great job.

Wouldn't it be nice to change zapotec placeholders for females, here's an exemple: https://www.dreamstime.com/editorial-photography-zapotec-female-dancers-oaxaca-mexico-girls-dancing-wearing-traditional-colored-costume-holding-pineapples-image71003597 Also, adding little figures and decorations should deepen the immersion feeling for any player: - The famous bat deity Cocijo (god of rain): http://art.thewalters.org/detail/78411/effigy-urn-of-cocijo/ https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Zapotec_-_Effigy_Urn_of_Cocijo_-_Walters_482788_-_Three_Quarter.jpg - The maize god Pitao Cozobi: http://art.thewalters.org/detail/80448/figural-urn-3/
