Hello all 0 A.D. community =) I'm doing this post with some possibles A24 changes. We need your help to apport ideas. Let's do all of us a big brainstorming! I've been talking to @user1 and we got some interesting possible changes. 1) Lobby changes: Lobby could be divided into sublobbies Designated trainers/coaches and lobby helpers 2) Rating System Changes There could be 'seasons'. After a season, user's ratings could be reset. Leagues that depend on your rank. Your rank could be displayed with an insignia. 3) Player Names: Your rating could be displayed as a rank instead. 4) Player's Profiles: Profile data Greetings. Stockfish

Hello everyone, This year and for the past three years 0 A.D. was holding a stand at the FOSDEM. Like every time, it was a very great experience for me, and I was happy to be able to join @Itms, @plumo, @implodedok, @FeXoR, @bb_, @Imarok, @vladislavbelov and @fabio in this adventure. This year was a bit special because I got to co-host a game dev room with the guys at Godot thanks to Akien and Straton and of course to all the people I convinced to give talks and the people that attended said talks. I think the dev room was an overall positive experience so it's great! You can find the videos here. Our room was K.3.201. Some videos might not have been uploaded yet. There were a lot of interesting talks, especially the one about the Spring engine going to Steam. I got to talk a bit with the guys at the GSOC stand and they apparently knew us, so maybe we'll be more lucky this year. I got to meet a lot of people for the first time, some of the above team members, but also @Krinkle, @balduin. I also met @oSoMoN with who we discussed a potential better usage of the Snap Packages for 0 A.D. The idea would be to offer special features to be tested as snap packages on something like Kiwit CMS. By using this specific platform we would be able to set up test scenarios for things not covered by CI and unit tests. I also had the great honor to meet with Ton Roosendal (the CEO of Blender) and Dalai Felinto. We had an informal chat at our stand about our usage of Blender. Bernard Tyers asked me to give a talk at the design dev room next year and I think I'm gonna deliver. The Raspberry Pi 4 I brought had quite a nice success as it caught the eye and people were amazed that it could run on such a low end device. A few people were interested in helping out. We are looking forward to hearing from them. Thanks for all the people who gave us donations! For those who paid for music CDs I hope you'll enjoy them. For those that could not get one you can grab it here. See you all next year, or at the next FLOSS event that we will attend which will likely be JDLL in Lyon, France.

It's not static. The list of coaches can change during time. The reason I support the idea it's good for people who would like to learn and also it's good for people who like to teach. Being a medium player takes a while. If we reduce the this time we can have more pro and medium players. Also, currently there is a wall between pro players and newbies. They have different worlds in the same lobby. I suppose coaching thing can break walls. Since there are already people to be a coach/student. The only missing thing they can't find each other. I would like solve this with the help of the community. There are a few people at the moment who is motivated to teach. I believe there are more. If we can start small we gain experience on this issue quickly to establish a more sustainable structure. The future plan is to establish a structure that is to build, easy to find coaches/students. Currently, I'm imagining a medium/pro player host a game like this "NEWBIE SCHOOL by Itrelles". With this method we don't have to contact and explain what is this. They just need to join the room and the coach will do the rest. It would be perfect if we announce that players who has a prefix e.g. "&" are coaches. But if it requires extra download or too much effort. The method that I suggest above can work better. It's already hard to learn everything at the beginning. I don't think that is a good idea to create something that needs downloads and setups. I prefer something easy, easy to understand what is it and requires less effort. If there will be a school culture in the community I think the medium/pro players should be a coach easily without any bureaucracy. I don't mind they are official or not. To be clear, I don't have a personal event. I just solve a part to success. In the Sunday Pro Games event there were more than 40 players who helped to create/finish the event from the community and outside the community. This one is not related with upcoming 1v1 event. The absolute reason is to keep the new player at least a year or more. Again, those are not related with me. I don't have a coach or an event. I do this for the community and there are other players who want to contribute more to the game. I just use my experience to make the things happen. If adding a prefix is not easy I can expect an announcement support. I've been preparing some texts explaining what is it. The biggest problem here is to find and explain what is this school and how/where can they attend. There are several places we can reach experienced players. But there is no platform like lobby where we can identify and reach out new players. Showing them who is coach would be easier.

Hey, that's very cool ! I hope 0AD blows up someday

The French translation is now fixed in the development version (A24).

aoe 3 sucks too age of mythology was nice

Here are 3 points that Reforged has set the new standards of low: Making a mod? Just let us remind you that we own that. Making a mod using other assets? No can do bruh. Have the original game? Well, here's a (Windows 10 style) bork patch. And no, you can't have the real original back.

That's a bug. To fix it one should make the packed variant be conquest critical I believe.
