  1. If there were ever to be separate civs, then there would need to be separate reference threads for each civ so that they don't get mixed together and the discussion can be focused.

  2. Hi all, Just need a little help & some clarifications with my gaming in 0ad... Background & other useless info: (feel free to skip this paragraph) A few years back, I enjoyed & played Microsoft's Age Of Empires. I started with AOE I, it was my first exposure to RTS gaming,. I fell in love with it. I eventually acquired the expansion pack for AOE I, then, later, AOE II & its expansion pack. After that & after losing interest in Windows, I migrated to Linux & until I discovered 0ad, I thought my RTS gaming was over. I thought "oh well, Linux is worthy." Eventually, I discovered 0ad on Linux & liked it very much, but my Linux system kept locking-up whenever I would play 0ad, always at random times and only when playing 0ad. I kept looking for upgrades, figuring the lock-ups were occurring because 0ad was still in alpha. After a few months of the lock-ups & waiting for a less buggy version, I decided to try the Windows version of 0ad on another PC that has Win 10 on it. Well, no more lock-ups on the Win version, I was once again hooked! Understandably, my 0ad game playing style, in many ways, mirrors the same style as in AOE... My main reason for this post: So that I could learn 0ad better, I began with Sandbox mode, then moved on to Very Easy mode and now I'm trying to learn even more by conquering the Easy mode. There are many things I don't quite understand yet such as territory boundaries. Of course, I understand some of it by now, but I'm sure there are other things about this that I don't know. The thing that bugs me the most though, & I can't find any info on 0ad strategy & game play & the fact that the enemy can & does take ownership/control over my buildings...This occurs more predominately in the Easy mode & not so much in the Very Easy & Sandbox modes. So, I'm pretty sure this phenomenon will escalate in the higher difficulty modes. How does one stop this or prevent this? Is there tips & tricks for 0ad? I'm sure there is, but where? Comments & other 'fun facts' : I read some of this forum today & yesterday & learned a few tidbits, can't wait to try some of these techniques. I also read about someone else getting fed-up with Win & going to Linux. I can certainly understand this & I even applaud this too, but as much as going back to Win saddens me, I feel that Linux is more for the more technical savvy folks especially as far as gaming is concerned. Don't get me wrong, I'm not an avid gamer. Merely just a long-time enthusiast with gaming interest. I probably would have become a gamer years ago, but my skill set prevents me from it. In 2002, I had an aneurysm (a type of stroke.) Although I can still use my PC, if barely, my skills have diminished greatly. My biggest obstacle though is with my poor vision. Its my main reason for loving RTS so much. I tried First Person Shooters (FPS) and the like, but I'm way too slow for those types of games anymore, but RTS is more forgiving. Oh well, such is life... I'm over 60 (61, yikes) now & still love PCs. A love affair that began long ago, in my late high school years, circa 1974! (graduated in '76) A LOT has changed since then except my love of PCs... More thoughts: There are lots of knowledgeable folks on here! Its the main reason for this post. I used to run Win 7. Thanks to "howtogeek.com", I applied a free upgrade to Win 10 after Microsoft's initial free upgrade offer had expired. I thought my free upgrade option was long gone, but it wasn't thanks to "howtogeek.com"! I was then happy with Linux anyway, so losing the free upgrade option from MS didn't much matter. Still qualified for a free upgrade though? Curiosity got the best of me, I decided to give it a whirl. After applying the free upgrade, I decided to try 0ad for Win. Now, I'm sorta glad I did! Just hate that I had to go back to Win. I'm a big fan of online security even though this post would probably indicate otherwise. IMO Win 10's security/privacy leaves a lot to be desired... Feel free to comment on anything...(I won't be offended)

  4. "Práctica de caballería" is a more accurate, but "torneo de caballería" fits as well. Spanish reference about what is this. Referencias en español. @Duileoga estamos viendo si las mascaras estarán relacionadas con la hippika gymnasia. Dice I'm traslating for duiloga...

  6. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimera Cimeria is the crest over the helmet an medieval spanish word. (not latinoamerican spanish) They discuss if was possible is some mask from a loot from a roman signifer. About the evidence of the equipment. They are refering to this too. They have a small shield two feet in diameter , concave in front , and suspended from the shoulder by means of thongs ( for it has neither rings nor arm- handles) . Besides these shields They have a dirk -knife or the butcher's . Most of Them wear linen cuirasses ; a few wear chain- wrought cuirasses and helmets with three crests , but the rest wear helmets made of sinews . The foot - soldiers wear greaves Also , and each soldier has several javelins ; Also and some make use of spears , and the spears have bronze heads . "- Strabon.

  8. Actually I would. Having multiple allies can make winning easier for you, especially if your allies are fighting each other. Assume a four-player random map with no starting teams. Early in game players B and C become neutral. Player A subsequently tries to ally with B, who refuses, then with C, who accepts. A also allies with D. All other combinations remain enemies. To win, A only has to defeat B, its only enemy; B must defeat enemies A and D and neutral C; C enemy D and neutral B; and D enemies B and C; A thus has the advantage. Different scenario: your ally is growing much faster than you, which annoys you, and is becoming quite powerful, which worries you. You'd prefer a weaker ally, but stabbing yours on your own is not a good idea, because he's much stronger and because you would remain at war with everyone else. The wiser strategy is to first ally one or two of your enemies and then declare war on your first ally. Divide et impera.

  9. That's not really a bug, it's what's supposed to happen: you win a Conquest game by destroying all enemy (ConquestCritical) structures and units; if you're allied with everyone, it means there are no enemies left, which means you satisfy the conquest criteria, therefore you win. If you don't want that to happen, play with the “Last Man Standing” setting (or “Locked Teams”).
