Hello guys, In case you missed the news, you can now get Civilization VI from Epic Games for free (till May 28). Go see this link and thank me later (or don't, I don't mind): https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/home Sincerely, Boudica

Got it yesterday!

Thanks, that's an interesting article. Elephant usage in antiquity is a subject that has fascinated me for years. I may be a bit of an heretic, but I happen to disagree here. First a bit of context: Modern taxonomy started with Linnaeus in the 18th C. The recognized extant elephant species and subspecies are (thank Wikipedia): Sri Lankan elephant: Elephas maximus (1758) → E. m. maximus (1940) African (bush or savanna(h)) elephant: Elephas africanus (1797) → Loxodonta africanus (1824/7) Indian elephant: Elephas indicus (1798) → E. m. indicus (1940) Sumatran elephant: Elephas sumatranus (1847) → E. m. sumatranus (1940) African forest elephant: Loxodonta cyclotis (1900/36) Unaware of the existence of forest elephants, early-20th C scholars critized Polybius, because they knew from zoos and safaris that African elephants are larger than Asian elephants. Now aware of their existence, mid-20th C scholars argued the North African elephants were actually forest elephants, because they knew those were the smallest species. DNA-sequencing emerged in the late 20th C, giving biologists a powerful tool to determine species. Hybrids (forest × bush) have been discovered. Most ancient historians focus primarily on the elephant size (height or weight); @Genava55's article is no exception. However, size is certainly not the only criterion; elephant species also differ in the shape of their back, ears, tusks, trunk lips, etc. Here is an article listing the differences between bush and forest elephants:Living African elephants belong to two species_ Loxodonta african.pdf All ancient depictions of African elephants I've seen resemble small African bush elephants (S-shaped back, curved, forward-pointing tusks), not really African forest elephants (straighter back, straight, downward-pointing tusks). Moreover, size is not everything. Pygmies (<150 cm) are not less human than Bosnians (>180 cm). And chihuahuas and St Bernhards belong to the same subspecies (Canis lupus familiaris, the domestic dog). Furthermore, forest elephants live in the equatorial forests of Africa, to the south of the Sudanian Savanna, where bush elephants are native; North Africa is much closer in distance, climate, and vegetation to the areas where bush elephants live; anyone arguing ancient war elephants were forest elephants ought to have an explanation how those ended up in North Africa. Therefore I'm of the opinion that both the “Libyan” elephants, used by the Carthaginians, Numidians, and Romans, and the “Ethiopian” elephants, used by the Kushites, Ptolemies, and Axumites, were simply small bush elephants, not forest elephants.

The year of 0ad in esports is coming!

Still looking for sponsors to support the e-sport of the future eae

@vladislavbelov I guess, you have already heard about it, AMD has released some new graphical effects, called FidelityFX, in there GPUOpen initiative for free. I guess, they might be interesting for 0 A.D. https://gpuopen.com/effects/ https://github.com/GPUOpen-Effects/FidelityFX I was especially thinking, if "Stochastic Screen Space Reflections" could may improve our water reflections performance, and further, if it would be possible to use it for reflections at armors and weapons?

WIP I need adding several things. I will need props. and some clean from 3d experts. sorry If I was missing in May, is Storming season here.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Interesting Spartan statues from the comic book Three: Dioscuri The ''Chained Ares'' Statue of Aphrodite holding a spear For Epirus other than Herakles; you could have a statue of Zeus since there was a large sanctuary dedicated to him at Dodona, or Achilles (Locally known as Aspetos, he was worshipped in Epirus and the royal line claimed to originate from him.).

Made some edits to fix some things and a better ao. It's now committed to https://github.com/0ADMods/pyrogenesis-1861 usa_arsenal.blend

Maybe you could be our fourth player instead of Solooyo, who hasn't yet stated his preferences. I might prefer you because we play together more often. So we could be @Havran, @Boudica, @Unknown_Player and @go2die. Let's see, maybe we'll need to switch someone anyway for a better balance later.

if someone looking a player i am here. otherwise i will organize a tournament just for myself!

CIVILIZATION VI free on the EPIC GAMES STORE. https://www.epicgames.com/store/en-US/product/sid-meiers-civilization-vi/home Sale ends 5/28/2020 at 5:00 PM

Fewer.

I failed to read your post and found a different solution in https://code.wildfiregames.com/D2752, but I suppose people will prefer your fixes for being less disruptive. I'll make a diff with your changes too. Thanks for reporting and debugging this. I report text input as working "correctly" if launched from in-game (as in, it's broken as it is on 10.14 with the double character thing). Edit: mh, pathching wxwidgets though.

You don't paint water, the water in 0ad is just a big plane under the terrain at a certain z position, you can change that z pos to make it look higher or lower

One could create a 3D actor with obstruction to create a small lake uphill. Currently there is only one water plane.

Awesome! Unfortunately it seems the SmoothElevationPainter tries to return elevation to base creating a kind of a hill instead of a ramp, this was my attempt using it: With createPassage I was able to obtain the desired result:

I think the player color should be the biggest area. The Germans were actually coloring their shields a lot, at least for the elites and the nobles. I really suggest to focus on higher grade Germanic shields for the moment, it would be easier. So shields fully colored. So in those examples I would suggest to use blue/red/green area as the player color Edit: by the way do not took in account the subdivision in basic/advanced/elite made on this draft, it was made without any consultation nor approval. Shield boss + shield rims are actually not common.

the actual designs are just a Symbol this must be the final result.

I'm not happy with how that looks, but here is some progress.

Yeah, sounds complicated and needs some work. You could put wicker behind it then generate random holes. Now with hay roofs.

Updated model of the Galic Cult Statue

Sure, no problem. 1) I started by sculpting the statue in Zbrush. 2) Then created a low poly version which I properly unwrapped. 3) Exported that low poly version into Substance Painter and baked the original high poly model as a Normal map. 4) From there, I just started painting.
