Suebian especial buiding

@Boudica or @ anyone —— I’m looking to join a team for the tournament. I bring w/me decent skill, OP jokes, and a positive attitude.

Hi, In formation templates, Animation was renamed to AnimationVariants because that is what it holds.

@m7600 Don't take personally the previous messages from Lion.Kanzen. English is not his mother tongue, he didn't express well his intents. He wasn't trying to be rude.

I like the the third from the left

I offer Survival Team Game Tournament, various settings tg 4v4 3v3 2v2, ffa various buckets players. You like? Enter teams here

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

I've just tried playing a game of Civilization VI and I've never been so bored.

Thanks for this fix. However there is still a bug: the snap doesn't occur for some directions. Like if you place a house, then another east or west from the previous one, it doesn't snap. All other directions are fine.

Hi @user1 Reporting 2000ad for quitting a match he hosted without resigning. I'm damagum. commands.txt

What do you think using wooden wall like on the video? Is it a cheat or normal? Want to learn your opinions guys. For me its more cheat because using beyond its intended purpose. Comp_1.mp4

Ok so i tried a few more games and the combination of setting the performance under windows on maximum and disabeling a few graphic settings & play with fewer units per player did the trick. So far no more disconnections appeared. Thanks for the help.

The classical sources could be explained either way, hence the debate in modern scholarship. What is needed is both critical thinking and common sense. Paraphrasing Fichte for the most plausible solution: thesis: African elephants had turrets. antithesis: African elephants could impossibly have had turrets. synthesis: African elephants may occassionally have had turrets. Herodotus' world view is fairly straightforward: to the East of the Nile is Asia, to the West Libya, to the South Aithiopia. This remained more or less accepted for about two millennia. Herodotus' entry on the Trogodytes is in IV.183: Given their position in the text, it's clear Herodotus locates them somewhere in the Sahara. This is not the case for later authors (Diodorus Siculus, Strabo, etc.), where Τρωγοδυτική means the lands on the Red Sea coast, opposite Arabia. From Pliny Naturalis Historia book VI: With “Troglodytic and Ethiopian elephants” the inscription means elephants from the coast (T) and interior (E). If Ptolemy III had any Libyan elephants, they would have been called as such; also note “the kingdom of Egypt and Libya [i.e. Cyrenaica]” etc. earlier in the inscription. Moreover, I doubt there were any elephants in the Northern Sahara steppe in Classical times; Carthage seems to have captured them in the woodlands surrounding the Atlas mountains (Morocco and Northern Algeria). What I want to know is whether that inscription really has a λ. Some manuscripts do, presumably because of association with τρώγλη (LSJ: an hole formed by gnawing, esp. a mouse's hole; plural: caves; holes in clothes; of canals in the flesh), but the correct form appears to be Τρωγοδύται, without the λ.

I made a suggestion in head of announcement thread. Maybe contact those players if you see them in lobby

very eae games? im in

@OTHERS SIGN HERE !!!! The main issue with a survival tournament would be to find ways to organize the schedule of the games since they can take a very long time (this is without talking about potential lags . Maybe there is a good way to choose settings to reduce the problem?

Though in the case of dogs, horses, cattle, etc. we can blame human breeding methods, which is not applicable to war elephants, which were captured from the wild. A better example is the difference between the now extinct Sicilian and Italian wolves; they were both about the same length, but the former had a shoulder height of c. 55 cm, the latter of c. 66 cm (F M Angelici & L Rossi (2018)). Numerous other examples exist of divergence and morphological differences (shape and size) when populations are chronically separated (for the Sicilian wolf, by the Strait of Messina; by the Sahara for the North African elephants). I know of it, though I haven't looked up the original publication. Ptolemy III did invade Babylonia, but whether he really conquered it, as well as the Upper Satrapies, is doubtful. In general Babylonian records tend to be more reliable than Egyptian propaganda. https://www.livius.org/sources/content/mesopotamian-chronicles-content/bchp-11-invasion-of-ptolemy-iii-chronicle/ L. Casson (1993) “Ptolemy II and the Hunting of African Elephants” (JSTOR, Sci-Hub) discusses the Ptolemaic elephant programme (infrastructure, locations, organization, etc.). Thanks again, that's an useful article, the images are nice and sharp, and the list of references long. This is yet another interesting debate. Many scholars hold the view Asian elephants did and African elephants did not have turrets; others argue both had turrets; some state Indian elephants didn't have turrets either. Proving the non-existence of something is always tricky, and often relies on an argumentum ex silentio. See M. B. Charles (2008) “African Forest Elephants and Turrets in the Ancient World” (JSTOR, Sci-Hub) for a recent overview. Let's split the question into three: Could North African elephants have supported a turret? Did Ptolemaic war elephants have turrets? Did Carthaginian war elephants have turrets? Given the loads donkeys, mules, and dromedary camels can carry on their backs, or humans carrying a lectica (litter), even small elephants shouldn't have trouble with the weight of a turret. Therefore I believe the answer to the first question is yes, though presumably their turrets would provide space for one or two men, rather than the three or four of an Indian elephant. As for the second question, Plb 5.84.2 is clear enough. Some people try to explain it away by stating these Ptolemaic elephants that engaged their Seleucid counterparts were Indian elephants, with turrets, whereas those Ptolemaic elephants that shied away and refused to fight were African elephants, without turrets. I don't see a compelling reason for this, though. Alexander had a quite large corps of Indian elephants, which was later split between various successors; Ptolemy I later seized some of those. Wild elephants can have a lifespan beyond 60 years, however, elephants in captivity don't breed and die younger; using them in forced marches and pitched battles is not helpful either. The Seleucids blocked access to India, which is why Ptolemy II went to such lengths to capture African elephants. If Ptolemy IV had some Indian elephants at the Battle of Raphia (217 BC), how did he get them? Finally, Carthage. On the one hand, it's notable neither Livy nor other hellenistic historians mention turrets in combination with Hannibal's elephants, nor are they displayed on Carthaginian coinage: On the other hand there is an entry in the Suda; P. Rance (2009) “Hannibal, Elephants and Turrets in Suda Θ 438 [Polybius Fr. 162⁻] — an Unidentified Fragment of Diodorus” (ResearchGate, JSTOR, Sci-Hub) discusses it in detail; and this terracotta from Pompeii (1st C AD?), now in the archaeological museum of Naples: (Which also seems to be the inspiration for the cart and ptol elephant actors in 0 A.D.) Taking everything together, I'm inclined to agree with Charles (2008), that Carthaginian elephants typically did not carry turrets, but might have on special occassions (e.g. parades), which is probably also true for the Roman elephants. (Yes, the Romans had African war elephants on multiple occassions, including the battles of Cynoscephalae (197 BC), Thermopylae (191 BC), Magnesia (190 BC), during the Second Celtiberian War (154–151 BC), and possibly during the invasions of Britain.)

Yes, although they did form kingdoms later on from existing roman cities (Perhaps stone wall in phase IV like Sparta ?). On heroes maybe Alaric, Fritigern and Theodoric I, for Visigoths;while Ostrogoths get Ardaric, Odoacer, and Theodoric the Great. Ostrogoth wonder could be Theodoric's Mausoleum, for Visigoths i can't find much (Maybe Reccopolis Basilica ?).

Military colony is a very hellenistic thing but it would be possible to have a similar building with different name. Maybe do like my above suggestion for Suebians, and have great hall UB where they can choose some regional mercs (Saxons, Franks, Vandals, Steppe raiders, romanized foederati etc.) perhaps train heros as well. One thing to settle is how the Ostrogoth/Visigoth divide is implemented (At the start like Hyrule Conquest ? two different techs for reaching the next phase ?). Looks great, the shingle roof on the old version was a bit vikingish and not very fitting for Suebians.

Voodoo originated in West Africa, an area who we know very little about in the time of 0 a.d. Alongside with Garamantes or Numidians, you could also have proto-Aksumites (Kingdom of D'mt).

i think this guy is one of the most expert for rasperry pi gaming. He also tried 0 A.D. in the near past.

Network turnmanager runs on the same thread as simulation. There is plan to move network turnmanager to another thread but nobody worked on it recently. For match dissapearing from list, that happens when host disconnects (there is patch for that somewhere). To improve performance so network code has more time, try to lower shadow quality, water settings, disable post processing... in game settings.
