Shields for Cretan Archers BTW @Stan` these are the Xiongnu shield models and normal map. Works great for now, except the backs are just mirror images of the front (not very visible though, which is good).

cartiaginian wall is expensive and needs more time for build. 3x more HP is nice but its useless in most (rush) matches. enemies (ai and/or humans) will arrive own territory before the heavy wall can build before. nobody uses this walls in multiplayer. long walls inclusive wall towers cost 1000 stone > . its not easier to update wall health or armor maybe in city centres of carthaginians or fortess and set carthaginian wall to default wall vars? greetings Hidan

One is in Britain, one is in France.

Hello folks, these are the outstanding matches for the Ro8: @Subotai_Mongol vs @borg- (winner vs @Feldfeld) @Dizaka vs @ZeroCelsius @LeGenDz vs defc0n Please try to schedule with each other, and remember the rules about civ-map picking. If you have any questions or scheduling notices let me know. You can play on your own schedule, but if things keep lagging I'll have to bring WO rules to proceed the bracket (which is something I don't want to).

Hello everyone! My friends and I discovered this game recently, and we're really liking it! Except for one aspect. We loaded a multiplayer map - 3 players, all fighting against each other - and we started collecting our resources, to prepare for battle against each other. Suddenly we were attacked by enemy human units called "Gaia" (they looked like tribes, if i remember correctly). They kept attacking us and it really got into the way of us enjoying that game. Is there a way to play a map, without these Gaia human units? Or are these found only in particular maps? We just want us to be the only players in the map. If doing so requires changing something in the code, I don't mind doing that either. I would appreciate any help or guidance regarding the same. Thank you all!

Right, always confuse them

Gallic Fields maybe?

It should be nice to have a new one for Brennus like this one: But for the moment you can shift to this one, this is the closest thing for the period:

Hey there you probably were playing Brittanic Road which has extra gaia units You can make a mod to edit that map and remove the units or you can look at other maps in the random category which is actually procedural you will find a lot of generic map that support any number of players from 1 to 8

@Freagarach said he would make pr this week http://irclogs.wildfiregames.com/2020-08/2020-08-10-QuakeNet-%230ad-dev.log

Sorry but this is not okay. Brennus is a 4th century figure and here the helmet and the shield boss are material found in the 1st century BC. Currently for this timeframe we have: And maybe this prototype:

Limed hair is attested by Diodorus Siculus: "The Gauls are tall of body with rippling muscles and white of skin and their hair is blond, and not only naturally so for they also make it their practice by artificial means to increase the distinguishing colour which nature has given it. For they are always washing their hair in limewater and they pull it back from the forehead to the nape of the neck, with the result that their appearance is like that of Satyrs and Pans since the treatment of their hair makes it so heavy and coarse that it differs in no respect from the mane of horses" But as you see, it doesn't mean spiked hair. It could have existed as well, but this is not the thing commonly depicted. A recently found statue: It is possible some Celts had some-kind of crazy hair cut according to a few coins (like a punk): Some kind of full braided hair This could be related in the Xanten parade helmet, which was decorated with hair: Notably there is an account of Gargenus wearing hair on its helmet from a Suebian foe, the trophy was taken by Flaminius after Gargenus defeat: Sil., Pun., V, 132–9 : “His [Flaminius] tough helmet was made of bronze and the tawny hide of a sea-calf; and above it rose a triple crest, with hair of the Suevi hanging down like a mane ; and on the top stood a Scylla, brandishing a heavy broken oar and opening wide the savage jaws of her dogs. When Flaminius conquered and slew Gargenus, king of the Boii, he had fitted to his own head this famous trophy that no hand could mutilate, and proudly he bore it in all his battles.” There are also accounts of double breaded long hair: And simple breaded hair: Finally, probably they had different kind of headband:

That's not bad, maybe the tunic is a bit too long and looks like a robe. It shouldn't go lower that the end of the pteryges.

GPL is not a free license. Unless 0AD is relicensed under a permissive license, there is no way to use Steamworks SDK. STK is apparently using Steamworks SDK in a separate closed source process and communicating with said process as a middle man. This opens up only the most basic of steam functionality. GPL is a rather viral license in that it tries to attach itself to things it should not be. "Keep in mind that according to the Steam Distribution Agreement you warrant and represent that you have all necessary rights to distribute the game via Steam. If your application contains third party open source code that is incompatible with the Steamworks SDK, then YOU MUST NOT DISTRIBUTE YOUR APPLICATION VIA STEAM." "But I saw a GPL-licensed application on Steam! This can happen if the author of the code that is GPL-licensed has given the permission to do so. The author can of course always (a) decide to grant Valve a different license than the author grants everyone else or (b) decide that what the Steamworks SDK does is just a communication with a service that does not invoke the copyleft requirement of the GPL." Also, consumer protection laws can come in. This means two things, Wildfire Games should be a registered company (Hopefully an LLC), and Wildfire Games can potentially be open to law suits. Seems like a no win situation for the benefit achieved by a donate button.

@user1 Hi, tingeltangelbob was losing our game and he ended the game without resigning. commands.txt metadata.json

Hello and good evening, @user1 I just played a rated 1v1 game vs "auxilentmoon (1296)" who as host shutdown the connection instead of resigning as soon as the game was clearly determined. I played a 1vs1 rated, normally prefer to play TGs, as I got called a smurf today twice when I did a good game. It would be nice to get the points I've been trying to improve my rating and its not fun if people always quit, when I succeed. My username is "AlexandDerGrosse (1145)" . commands.txt many thanks in advance. best Alex

Personally, I'm against the idea of combining civs and against the idea of civ brackets/tiers. I think we are all thinking about this is the wrong way. We don't need to be thinking about the factions as a group. In fact, that's the one aspect of this game we should be ignoring. Scenario Think of a matchup between Britons and Seleucids. Each faction is quite different from one another. However in this matchup, it is not very important to compare the two civilizations in terms of historical accuracy. We should be comparing them based on the environment. Each culture developed a style of warfare that best suited their environment In a heavy wooded map, the more flexible Britons have an advantage over the large and clumsy formations of the Seleucids, but in an grassland, the tables flip. Now the powerful Seleucid formations and cavalry would shred the Britons. Conclusion We need to be thinking more about the environment that we put the civilizations in. More deliberate map design, with areas that all factions can excel in. Currently, our maps are based on locales, which is hindering balance by favoring the native culture. Thinking about the scenario above, imagine a map with both heavily wooded areas, and open areas/ pathways. Now the question doesn't become which faction is better, it becomes a question of how well can each player utilize the map! How well can they force engagements on terrain that favors them? Obviously we would still need to keep an eye on the exact stats of techs and units for each faction, but if we build the maps right, we can still allow these unique matchups that make this game great! Open areas for the more formation focused civs, wooded areas/rough terrain for more flexible civs. Flat areas for cavalry civs, and terrain height for ranged based civs. Most RTS titles focus on how well you can micro your economy and armies, but map utilization is rather minor. Players usually play "on" the map instead of "with it!" This is what could give 0AD an identity and make it unique from other RTS titles! As an added bonus, it would allow for more factions to be added without making balancing a nightmare! Addendum Now, we still need to consider the factions as individuals. I'm of the opinion that we should make sure that each one feels unique. We don't need Starcraft-ien levels of unique, but think AOEIII WOL mod levels of unique. Each faction should have a preferred playstyle and a preferred unit roster, and it's out goal as balancers to make sure to emphasize these preferences. Spartans should be a infantry heavy faction, Carthage should play defensively, Kush can build tall, and the Seleucids can build wide. By emphasizing these preferences, players can really get a feel for the differences of each faction, and they can find the one that matches their playstyle. This can be done through more unique techs, faction bonuses, and possibly with re-thought rosters. Combining all these thoughts would make this game a great game of tactical skill. The player must not only take advantage of their civ's unique strengths and understand their weaknesses, but use the map and the environment to help make sure they fight on their terms.

The possible British helmet from the Ashmolean museum (should be bronze but impossible to gather information about it) : Pseudo-reconstitution made by the museum Andover (not very accurate but why not): Complement for the Mill Hill Deal crown/headband: Possible suggestion for a thick tunic protection different of the linothorax from the Gauls:
