Undoubtedly most soldiers did carry side-arms, but ammunition is a more difficult thing to consider since armies at this time were not standardised. What might have served as the amount of missiles a soldier carried in one campaign might vary with the next. One interesting example of a case of reverse side-arms is mentioned in Xenophon's Anabasis, when a few Rhodian hoplites switched to using slings.3 points

Hi, Currently i'm working on giving some units a secondary attack in my mod. It's making progress, but realism is of great importance for me. So i'm wondering if historians on this forum would like to help providing references on what extra weapon(s) these soldiers would have had in their kit for that civilization. All units are open for discussion but the units that have priority would be the following: Javelineers (both cavalry and infantry) Slingers Archers (both cavalry and infantry) I'm also looking for references on how much ammo ranged soldiers would carry with them. Currently i have it like this: Javelineer 5, Archers 24, Slingers 50. Thanks in advance2 points

Hello all, my name is Angelica and I am writing my Master's degree dissertation on video game translation. I have already translated some strings of 0 A.D. into Italian on Transifex (I have brought translation almost to 100%), but to give a wider range of translatable assets, I would like to translate some parts of the website too. Of course, it would be only for academic purposes and I would quote the game and the developers, but I would like your permission. Thank you in advance. Angelica1 point

I'd say it changes the gameplay quite a bit. If your army is heavily wounded, you can get chased and slaughtered while retreating because healthy enemy units can actually catch up with you now. The trick would be to utilize the new field camps + healers in either neutral or enemy territory. It definitely needs some testing from players against players though.1 point

Recuerdo que en Palenque hay sistemas avanzados de este tipo, no solo allí, en toda el área maya desde los preclásicos, había sistemas de manejo de agua muy avanzados.1 point

Alexander the Molossian was the founder of Epirotes and rebuilt Molossian tribe, therefore we can give him some eco bonus. He also fought bravely against the Lucanians so we can also give him an attack bonus. Aura: Champions + 10% attack Hero Bonus: All workers gather 20% faster Special tech: more territory influence?1 point

many of them uses this skull paints. Death was, for many of the Mesoamerican peoples, of great importance within their belief system. Death in the pre-Hispanic world was a reality with which they coexisted; in their thinking there was no rupture between the life-death extremes.1 point

This is an interesting one, mate, I'm intrigued by the wounded status of the troops. In play, does it change the game a lot? I'm assuming you have to be conscious of your units health a lot more otherwise you could send swathes of your army to a slaughter if they aren't in fighting condition.1 point

I remember chrstgtr mentionning that he had more frequently units stuck at buildings corner in a24 in one of his post. I was wondering if the issue is now well understood ? @Angen @wraitii I can't repeat the issue on demand because I can't figure out what's happening exactly but I played recently a game with several sieges exiting from the same arsenal and taking a "similar" path before getting stuck at the corner of the same barrack. Because of the repetitions of the experiment with some variations, I thought the replay might be helpful to understand the issue. It starts with one ram stuck (min37), then a catapult stuck (min40), then again another ram stuck(min46) but in the meantime, many other sieges have managed to take a similar path without getting stuck (I am guessing because they are taking slightly different path/because they are smaller). Thanks! 0 A.D. 2021-03-19 20-11-57.mp4 metadata.json commands.txt1 point

Thanks for the replay, this does looks like a fairly 'regular' motion issue. With the replay I should be able to investigate what's going on.1 point

Being one of the top players I'm sure you do. Lol Right, the citizen soldier concept makes this difficult. I don't think they should be identical, but perhaps the Citizens are just 20% better than soldiers at gathering each resource since they are unencumbered with armor and weapons.1 point

This is not just the problem. If I am going to attack you, how will I know if you have collectors or soldiers? This mark on the soldiers must be permanent then, without having to select/click the unit1 point

@Lion.KanzenRemember also the calendar names, the walls of Monte alba were full of them, in the main the building already climbs the conquests of that city and the kings they conquered. zapotec_figures2_es.pdf1 point

I'm not a historian, but gameplay-wise every 0 AD unit already has knife for slaughtering purpose. Xenophon said that Peltast (javelineers) use swords as secondary weapon. He also recommends kopis/makhaira for horsemen instead of xiphos. You probably have seen this Survival mod by @Angen , otherwise this might help you as it has secondary weapon concept:1 point

I could see revamping the entire Temple tech tree as well as the Forge tech tree. I'll have to work closely with you guys to find proper technology ideas for these 2 structures specifically.1 point

Millennium AD is still a thing. They can make Millennium AD be AD 500 -- AD 1500-ish. Aside:1 point

@wowgetoffyourcellphone, Alexander I can have auras pertaining to enemy mercenaries as he fought against Italic tribes. Alexander II to friendly and allied mercenaries since he was likely allied with the Aetolians in retaking Epirus. There should be another non-Punic War Roman hero like Scipio Asiaticus, which gives a bonus to capturing buildings. Have you thought of putting Marcus Aurelius as the fourth imperial hero? Also, still bothered by Iphicrates using a Thracian pelta instead of a small aspis or round pelta. Since he did reforms on making hoplites lighter, why not re-make the Stoa theurophoros (champion javelineer) into something like this: ...which is basically just replacing the helmets and from theuroi to round pelte or a phalangite aspis. The aura can be all infantry skirmishers/javelineers in his formation or range have a speed and damage boost.1 point

Considering many wallpaper-worthy screenshots here, perhaps 0 A.D. Wallpaper section can be updated with some user contents?1 point

some videos to make a little more interesting and less boring information. The video is in Spanish you only need to watch it, it does not require understanding Spanish. With this we will be able to make the maps and biomes of the game.(At least parts of the biodiversity of Mesoamerican Mexico)1 point

Sorry, didn't mean to ignore you. The female in the 2nd image is wearing a beige/brown gown, not player color. If you zoom in on the player color bits of the portrait, you'll see it is a nice orange. Anyway, I think you'd want your citizens to stand out in a selection full of a bunch of different units, so you could probably micro them out of the selection or task them elsewhere. @borg- Thoughts on this mod?1 point

The guy is back under "Melusines" username. He exercises the same behavior and rethoric. I've seen many messages in lobby from him attacking various religious, ethnic and race groups (i.e. "I hate muslims", "Serbia", encouraging people to burn Serbia and many others I do not want to type), and usual talks about Jesus. Anyway, I am personally sure It's the same person (Melusines=pesem=other accounts) which would mean multiple accounts and hateful speech in lobby which is break of ToS. (I am reporting here since there is no responsive moderator in a24 lobby and to put stress on the background of the person.)1 point

I found really weird the Celtic wall being called "Taux" in my 0AD, which is set in French... until I understood that the wall is actually called "Rate" in English but somehow, an automatic translation got the Celtic name for the wall as an English word... rate like in a measure, for a value or for a varying quantity. Which is "taux" en français.1 point

@vladislavbelov any update from this thread? (glow, light, lighting, storm)1 point

You could add uniques actualizations to the royal stoa. Stoicism explains our belief that buildings are more than just bricks and mortar. Buildings should be practical, protective, and inspirational. Upgrades should improve the armor or damage of units within the territory (like the Romans perhaps) or or add a bonus like the pyramid kushites only to metal workers (silver owls)1 point

Spellforce III looks really good. The contrast could be a little better, but other than that it looks great. I would love to see 0 A.D. evolving into a similar direction. I do like 0 A.D.'s look and feel. The 0 A.D. artists are doing a great job.1 point
