Hi there, i created a simple tropical island map - my first 0ad map and i want to share it with you. Start with a chicken farm and lots of fish. On the mountain in the middle you'll find metal and stone... and Gaia fighters! Enjoy! Marcus Caribbean Island(6).xml Caribbean Island(6).pmp

Hello all, after the sunny carribbean - here is a foggy autumn map. My future maps will be less symmetric Go hunting in the nearby woods, but be aware of bears and wolves. Stone and metal between you and your neighbours. Have fun! Marcus Forest lake (6).zip

Put in in SVN earlier today, but I'll show some nice screenies

too big took too long holy crap never again

The issue has been fixed in SVN (A24 is going to be released without the issue). Now Atlas saves the sidebar layout between sessions.

Wow, this map deserves an award...

there is another inspiration things you can use. but it need some moddeling and combine with actual asset. if the ancient from east hemisphere comes to the new world. (America or even far beyond) they must have a fort because Native Americans like Taino tribes or Caribbeans have some hostilities if you don't share their cultural meaning or believes. @wackyserious you can make some amerindian textures. can be included in terra magna as eyecandy.

Hi, As i'm nearly finishing the map of the Acropolis of Athens, i would like to receive any feedback or suggestions regarding historical facts. So please if you are willing to help me, pointing me where i did a mistake by including or not, an historical building, let me know. The depicting period is the classical. Some references: Starting with the @wowgetoffyourcellphone suggestion, but waiting to know which building i have to remove, as it confused me. lol Of course, the official presentation of the map will have its proper introduction with some historical background, i will do my best at it. Here it goes

Yep. The purple colors are too match the hero scheme we took from Delenda Est, so I was trying to have the lesser evil. Sure I just took the concept art as is. Funny story though it was actually reported by Just after it was sketched by @Mythos_Ruler and painted by @Hyborian

The buildings rotate to a backward angle when snapping instead of maintaining their default angle.

Yeah Mormons are a cult actually, let's say that there is a load of nonsense in the Book of Mormon. They are not considered part of mainstream Christianity.

@user1 @Hannibal_Barca Reporting Basiliskos He was hosting a 1v1 rated game, and as soon as I owned him, he stopped the game (so ratings arent applied) Looking at this thread, this is not his first offence. Please compensate the rank or permanently ban his IP/account commands.txt metadata.json

Heroes... language. the script for audio files. and some great background for main menu. (yes another.) may be more accuracy. more details.

She represents a mayan courtesan/noblewoman (the nature of the distinction is discussed by Houston here: https://mayadecipherment.com/2014/06/08/courtesans-and-carnal-commerce/) of the classical and late classical period, so roughly coinciding with the time period of the original game. You con spot the cranial elongation and nasal extension, while most of the other decoration is composite (which is to say different parts are taken from different sources), mainly from ceramic pieces from Tikal and Ik (the latter a minor client kingdom of the former). Typically, elite women seemed to have shown themselves in their natural skin color or painted themselves in red, white or a combination of either. There is a vast catalogue of hairstyles and decorations. This has little to do with the Aztecs in any of the way you wish to understand them (Late nahua who arrived from Aztlan, Nahua of the Triple Alliance or the Mexica specifically).

Hey guys, where do you need help with the zapotecs, what is currently being worked on? I've only seen a couple of screenshots of the zapotec faction in google and I have some thoughts, but what is needed?

I will traslate one by one the most important features. @Loki1950 https://erasdelmundo.foroactivo.com/t598-los-numidas from here. no great thing except that brief about Numidians. http://www.campaign-game-miniatures.0catch.com/corvusbelli_ants1.html Miniatures... no great info. http://caballipedia.es/La_caballería_en_África (cavalry in Africa).

you must be improve the composition.

he was losing so he left a rated 1v1 and didn't return. Attatched is the replay of the game. My name is Rustl3SS on 0ad. @user1 @Hannibal_Barca commands.txt metadata.json replayCache.json

And also he has a very big mouth, he couldn't handle to lose so he started to offend me in a very non polite and despective way. @user1 commands.txt metadata.json

Well i don't see why you Basiliskos @Tramite have to put my name up without any proof of your claims, Juleferie has not quit a game since 1929! But in any case i would like to report Basiliskos for quitting two more rated games against me. @user1, @Hannibal_Barca commands.txt metadata.json commands.txt metadata.json

@user1, @Hannibal_Barca Max789Power (857) hosted the rated game and exited without resign when was loosing. commands.txt metadata.json

@Genava55, very nice pdf... Let me add a few artists' interpretations (feel free to scrutinize) @stanislas69 Didn't you already make the sanctuary at Corent?? Since Stonehenge is such a terrible choice for the Gallic wonder (don't get me wrong it's a gorgeous model, just totally wrong), wouldn't the Corent sanctuary be a much better choice?

You seem to be right... This publication http://archiv.ub.uni-marburg.de/diss/z2000/0093/pdf/dms.pdf ? It does indeed talk about runden schildbuckel and not rundschild. Interesting... Yeah, a lot of misconceptions and inaccuracies are spread through popular culture like games and movies and even mistranslations or misinterpretation of academic sources like we see here. Thanks for pointing it out, and taking your time to explain. That's one of the reasons why I like 0AD so much, because people here at least try to keep it as historical as possible, but as you can see, it's a work in progress. I don't really disagree with anything in your response, and I have to admit you do seem to have a decent grip on Celtic history. I can understand better where you are coming from, and won't further oppose your opposition to round shields among the La Tène period Gauls (unless I actually find something ). I'm still not convinced about a total lack of round shields though, but I get you. There is no concrete evidence we know of to support the notion. What are your thoughts though on some of the (obscure) coins seemingly depicting round shields? I know some are Roman or Greek/Macedonian replica's, but the presences of Hellenic armour like the linothorax among some Celts might suggest they're more than just replica's, no? The way that the Thyreos entered the Greek world or the Gallic helmet entered the Roman world, light round (skirmishing) shields (think of Velites or Cretan archers) may have entered the Gallic panoply, as archery did by the time of the Gallic wars? I know, I know, pure conjecture, but entertain me.. As @stanislas69 said, sharing quality references is always appreciated, and good visual references are extremely useful for artists to work with, especially primary stuff. You could also share your interpretations of historical illustrations, discussing what is accurate and what is not/should be changed and how. I'm particularly interested in the architecture. I think it looks pretty good right now for a rural setting, but I feel like the proto-urban feel of the oppida is lacking. I collected a few artists' renditions of various oppida, ready for scrutiny (should post them soon) then I'll give you a ping.

Sure. I am an environmental scientist with a specialization in geochemistry. I am not a historian neither an archeologist. I have some basic academic knowledge in archaeology because I had some courses about paleo-ecology, paleo-geomorphology and paleo-geochemistry in Holocene context. Ancient history and La Tène culture are an old hobby I have since my teenage years. The only thing very useful in my academic background is mostly that I know where to look for accurate information. When I got the time, I will. For the moment I have a break because I'm waiting for my results from a laboratory before to continue my research.

@Genava55 Might be a weird question but since you mentioned the Rome I mod having traitors in their ranks if I might say can you tell us a bit more about your references ? Maybe you could put up a thread with all the incorrectness of the current Celtic factions with screenshots saying what is innacurate ? Also maybe update the design document for those civ and give some way of improvements.What do you think ? i love those endless discussions about history but I also like productive talking here in the form of making 0AD better.
