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.

Hey peeps. New player here. I've just discorvered the game a few days ago. It looks gorgeous ! I have a good RTS background and I must say this game looks refreshing. It's like a mix of Age of Empires and Rise of Nations with AoE1 civs but still very unique.. Hard to describe. Anyway I really want to be committed into it ! Is the community vast ? Any Discord ? What tips would you give to a new player ? Any Build Orders ? I'm completly lost tbh. What are the "competitive" settings and all that ?

Interesting oppening with brits.metadata.jsoncommands.txt

No problem. Have fun. Let me know if there is anything else I can do.

This is very cool and it would surely increase the immersion.

I truly enjoyed AoE3's Home city customization, and It would be cool to have new models to keep the game fresh.

Quite impressive.

Hello there, Welcome to the forums. There are indeed a few unofficial discords: International https://discord.gg/NTmA9K https://discord.gg/7ug7RY https://discord.gg/XNx9CW https://discord.gg/rZt9fA https://discord.gg/Q4cBfA Spanish https://discord.gg/dWQpSU French Unused https://discord.gg/XFFmet There are probably a few others I forgot.

Can you try to disable GLSL in the game options? See:

Why? The current name, πλοῖον φορτηγικόν ploion phortēgikon does mean “ship of burden, merchantman”; you can find it in your LSJ; πλοῖον στρογγύλον ploion strongylon is an equally good equivalent. Another fine name would be ὁλκάς holkas “ship which is towed : hence, trading vessel, merchantman”. Both ναῦς naus and πλοῖον ploion mean “ship”, however, the word naus is rare outside literary texts (Homer, Thucydides) and when both terms appear alongside each other and no adjectives are used, naus indicates a proper warship, ploion a merchantship or transport. (Again, see LSJ.) So I'm curious how you came up with “naus emporia” and why you think it would be better? For the Ptolemaic merchant ship, which has a different actor, a slender vessel, I would recommend the term φασήλιον phasēlion, a common Nile vessel. Here are also two pages from L. Casson Ships and Seamanship in the Ancient World (Princeton 1971) in support:

Usually we don't use a current text size to layout. So we have to test UI with the special language from our repo, which is combined from longest strings in all languages. The proper solution is to account the current size, but it's harder to test. Since we need to test all languages instead of the only one.

In my most honest opinion, Warcraft III "Refunded" is beyond dissapointing. Blizzard surely lost their "soul". I think that I'm done with Warcraft, as they've ruined the lore and nearly all of my favorite characters thanks to that disaster called "World of Warcraft". It deserves less than It's current 0.5/10 rating on metacritic.

Hi @user1 @Hannibal_Barca I want to report three accounts that quit rated 1v1 games lately. Lorenzo13 - 2020-01-30 He didn't say anything, just left when he was losing and didn't returned. Russian_soldat - 2020-01-31 Same as Lorenzo13. He said my strategy was annoying (it was), left when he was losing, didn't returned. (Played him the other day tho, gg) GOD-OF-WAR - 2020-02-06 He made sure in the chat before the game that I was not a "quitter", and even wrote that he hates quitters during the game... then he quits himself when losing. Slightly toxic. I don't really want to moan about one or two quitters, but it happens to often and it is triggering. The game is too good to be drained in this toxic atmosphere. Maybe exiting could lead to auto-resign if the player doesn't return in 5 min? Anyways. Brilliant game, keep up the good work. /Catenaccio commands.txt metadata.json commands.txt metadata.json commands.txt metadata.json

Basically some idea i have to implemented the selector screen. But there are four. Additional thing... In EE you have a some minutes to take or grab a civ, can be nice have some. That give some bonus.
