So, I implemented a huge change to heroes many months ago. While I've made a lot of progress, there still remains a lot to be done. Essentially, the player chooses a Hero at the start of the match, and this hero is your civ's leader for the remainder of the match. You can retrain this hero 5 times throughout the match if they are killed. And this Hero's cost increases for each passing Phase. All heroes have these 3 auras standard: "Forced Labor" Nearby Builders construct buildings +10% faster "Supply Lines" Nearby Gatherers +10% gathering rate for all resources "Stalwart Defense" When garrisoned in a Structure or Siege Weapon, the hero gives it a bonus of +2 capture recovery rate Each Hero has his or her own special bonuses and auras. Sample: Hero Aura or Bonus 1 Usually something combat related Aura or Bonus 2 Usually economically related or some kind of other bonus; sometimes a secondary combat aura or bonus Special Technology Selecting this hero unlocks a special technology that is usually related to the hero in some way Upgrade to Mount (or other special state) This is usually unlocked in City Phase Mounts have greater speed, trample aura, extra health, etc. Horse Elephant Chariot ======================================================================= Hero Selection Samples:

programmatically, is it enough to edit the javascript files or it needs to rewrite the engine to implement: civs limit per map stays the same. but players number can be increased, where many players can play as one civilization against other players/AIs to do multitasking like one gather resources and one explore and one build or they co-op to do things like flanking enemies or other tactics.

For the Maurya empire, some candidate heroes: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samprati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chanakya

if you ask for my opinion, I think that resources system should be changed to: there is no resources shown (or showing the sum) in the upper bar, every resource is stored where it was putted. when you order the workers to build they get the materials from the storehouses or harvest it by themselves. you can transfer the resources from a storehouse to anywhere else. this is how you trade, support allies, supply your units. barracks need to have the resources near it to recruit units.

NOTE: SVN COMPATIBLE ONLY. WILL NOT WORK WITH ALPHA RELEASES. Hi guys. I am looking for some beta testers for my mod that overhauls a lot of the game. It's not a super open beta because I use some placeholder icons for techs from the Age series and other source. I also use some interesting music just for fun. Anyway, the important thing is the rebalance and almost completely new technology tree with ideas from this forum. Also, it is not yet complete to the plan because the game itself is incomplete, but it is mostly complete and playable and is a lot different from the basic version of the game. Post here or PM me for the git download. DELENDA EST: An overhaul mod for 0 A.D. Empires Ascendant OVERVIEW This is an overhaul mod for 0 A.D. Empires Ascendant. Its goal is to introduce a new balance scheme, a revamped and greatly expanded technology tree, and other customizations to the game. The mod endeavors to push the game's modding capability to the fullest and to make the gameplay as enjoyable and as rich as possible. Keep in mind: - This mod is incomplete. Not every new planned technology or gameplay change has been implemented yet. - Many of the planned changes rely upon new features being implemented into the core game or engine. - This mod can be used to encourage those new features being implemented either by modders, open-source contributors, or official WFG team. Major unimplemented Features that this document assumes will eventually be implemented: - Formations: This mod re-enables the old formations from Alpha 16 and before. Once these are reimplemented by the official WFG team, it is planned to revamp them completely for this mod. - Trample: Some cavalry are planned to be better tramplers than others, so their stats would be adjusted accordingly. So, until Trample is implemented by the team or by modders some Cavalry stats may be wonky. - Charging/Charge Bonus: Like Trample, this would affect Cavalry stats immensely, and it is hoped that this is eventually implemented in the game. - Mercenary Camps: This mod starts the process of making Mercenaries a unique class of soldier for the game. It is hoped that either the official team or modders will implement the capturable Mercenary Camp idea talked about on the forum. - Building Capturing and Unit Conversion using a "Loyalty" mechanic: Some techs in this mod cannot be implemented yet (or are implemented in a different way) because capturing and loyalty are not implemented. Hopefully this feature is implemented so this mod can add another layer of richness to the gameplay. - Tech and Aura Modifications: These new modifications need to be implemented for this mod to reach its full potential: Altering Market Bartering recovery rates, Altering technology costs and speeds, (+ others here). MAJOR OVERALL CHANGES - Completely new unit balance and countering. - A new 4th Phase: Imperial Phase, which unlocks major technologies and abilities. Requires 1000 Metal and 1 Wonder. - Civic Centers are now buildable in the 3rd Phase (City Phase). This allows the players time to build up home defenses in Town Phase, or use the stone for a push to City Phase for expansion. - Now only Civic Centers and Wonders cast territory effects. Outposts and Economic stuff like Storehouses, Farmsteads, and Fields can be built outside territory, but buildings like Houses, Barracks, etc. can only be built within the player's territory. This creates strong cores of cities and makes the countryside weak and hard to defend. Also encourages building walls. - A completely redesigned technology tree, customized for each civilization. Blacksmith and Fortress trees are especially new. - Naval gameplay revamped with a Shipyard for the non-barbarian civs. Docks are for naval economy and Shipyard for naval warfare. - New special buildings, such as the Temple of Vesta for the Romans, with new auras and features. - Wooden defense towers available in Phase I can be upgraded to stone defense towers in Phase II, complete with visual change in appearance. - Corral is much more useful. What is Broken - Celtic Rotary Mill aura for Britons and Gauls. For some reason I cannot make the aura work, even though the code is visually correct. - Units trained in batches and rally-pointed to a resource or foundation will go to the rally point and will not begin gathering or building. They will just stand there instead. This is an old bug reintroduced somehow. - Some Fortresses cannot have enough space for garrisoned units to show up on the walls. Some Fortress models may need redesigned for this purpose. - Units show up on the Fortress battlements, regardless of type (female citizens and cavalry units how up on top of Fortresses when they garrison inside). There needs to be a way in the templates to dictate what types of units show up on the VisibleGarrison points ("Infantry Ranged" for example). - Cost.BuildTime effect for auras is broken. This specifically neuters the "Delian League" team bonus for Athenians and the "Naval Architect" aura for Themistocles. - I'll add more things here as I come across them. Screenshots NEW UNIT BALANCE The unit balance has been changed. The following list gives the basic changes, including features like charging that are not yet implemented in the full game. Melee Citizen-Infantry Ranged Citizen-Infantry CITIZEN CAVALRY STATS - Penalty: Horse Cavalry 0.5x vs. Elephants and Camels - Penalty: Camel .80x Speed - Bonus: Camel 1.5x vs. Horse Cavalry - Speed (walk/run/charge): 1.5x Infantry Counterparts Melee Citizen-Cavalry Ranged Citizen-Cavalry Other Melee Units Other Ranged Units Citizen-Soldier Ranks/Promotions Champions Mercenaries CIVILIZATION BONUSES AND CHANGES The specific bonuses and changes for each civ.

Overview This mod adds morale system to 0 A.D. Please read an overview of morale in Wikipedia page here. This mod tries to represent military morale and to some extent also employee morale (for workers). Morale system here is inspired from a mix between Total War and Stronghold style morale. So basically the higher the morale, the better your units at gathering, building, and fighting, and vice versa. Morale is influenced by unit's health, being attacked, being near other units, etc. On a very low morale, units will flee the battlefield. I originally develop this mod for Happiness system in my City Building Mod, however it became more complicated so I decided to release it separately as Morale system. Therefore, this mod is designed to be as bare-boned and customizable as possible, so it will be compatible to many mods, although the mod should be quite playable as it is. Features Every unit has morale icon to represent its current state. Some aspects that can influence unit morale: Presence of other units on viewing distance. Allies increase morale and enemies decrease morale. Being attacked. Arrow shots would decrease morale, even if it missed. Health increase/decrease. Morale would increase/decrease accordingly. Unit death would cause significant morale decrease to nearby allies and vice versa. Low morale can cause a unit to have decreased gathering rate, building rate, and attack rate. Extremely low morale cause unit to flee from enemy and became passive. Units reaching max morale would cheer and start becoming violent. Structures can also have morale. Structures with low morale can have reduced attacks speed and also slower training and research time. Garrison units with high morale inside for increased morale. Some variables that can be customized for further modding (mostly need to edit component variable but later planned to be customizable via template): Significance (the higher unit significance the higher influence it has on nearby units) Range (by default it uses unit vision but can be altered) RegenRate (default morale regenerate rate) etc (please look at Init function of Morale.js) Installation Clone or download the mod from GitHub page to My Games/0ad/mods folder. (I will add mod.io link later) Contribute This mod is very much a work in progress. Everyone is certainly welcome to contribute by testing the mod and tell me what you think! If you found issue or have some ideas you'd like to implement, feel free to discuss here or even create Pull Request to the GitHub repo. I also currently have no access to a better quality computer to create high quality screenshot/video preview, so you can share your screenshots here as well! Credits Thank you very much to: @Freagarach, @wraitii for helping out on problems I encountered with some components (see the discussion behind the scene here) @Grapjasfor letting me adapt his Wounded feature from Grapejuice mod (another interesting mod you should check) @wowgetoffyourcellphone for arrow morale damage suggestion and fear units (implementable by Significance, but not yet).

Hi everyone just came to say hi, and to share some Pictures of the Empires At war Rise of Rome 0AD Scenario that I have been working on for almost a year... Just have some talks with Lopess, a Brazilian moder, I meet at this forum. to join forces and make this scenario a Solid 0 AD Game scenario for all you guys to enjoy and play, or modified as you like, with the Roman Republic as the main protagonist, and it's chronological history of conquest and expansion across the whole Mediterranean Sea and Central Europe. Here, I'm sharing some pictures with some remarks, so you all can get an Idea of how it is coming so far. Share your ideas and opinions, all criticism, good or bad are welcome, specially suggestions...and thanks for sharing. Remarks are in Spanish, so to those That don't speak Spanish, I'm sorry guys... But that is the language I used to communicate with Lopess who speak Portuguese, too...and I send pictures to him first and now I'm sharing them here...but you guys get the idea... Peace and prosperity be with you all. Thanks for sharing, guys.

There has been some discussion about implementing attack ground, and I think we should go ahead and decide if this should be implemented for A26. I have no idea about the implementation process. Currently there seems to remain a need to design a graphic to display for the attack-ground radius, I imagine the mouse scroll wheel and using the existing radius for towers and forts might work fairly well. the graphic would probably only be needed when executing the attack ground command, for example when holding 'A' for a group of ranged units. Perhaps there could also be a hud element for attack ground alongside patrol, garrison, and delete. I think more players are beginning to realize what benefits this could bring to the game. Reasons for Attack-Ground: allow players with ranged units to attack significantly beyond an amount of melee units. "silent nerf" for pikes (as opposed to reducing armor, which would basically make them bad again) "silent buff": for units with higher range (ie archers, which are considered weak, primarily because their range benefits are hampered by their limitation to shooting closer units) Reducing Overkill: Allows players with ranged units to better allocate their damage high pierce units will have even less overkill Overkill seems to be calculation-heavy, might even reduce lag if many players use this. In general: adds more creativity, balance, and skill to fights involving ranged units. Attack ground: id like to test this in more realistic situations to see if it has the benefits I outlined above. Here is a video posted by @Freagarach a few months ago. I could test this with a group if it became a mod. Could I get an idea of how favorable people see this for A26?

¡INCREÍBLE! Lo estoy disfrutando al máximo este mod. Genial.

https://code.wildfiregames.com/D2667 With this you can try up to 30 players (or AI). You will need to rebase any changes and compile it, and only works from command line but works. Also had alternative implementation that allowed arbitrary sizes (> 100) but is not published.

@seeh I am going to start working on better models of metal and stone. My plan is: metal - gold or yellow coloured lumps stone - grey lumps what do you think?

I modified the Ptolemaic quilted cloth helmet mesh for it and used its uv and texture file as a basis.

in my computer I added a mod where: there is water resource, you get it from wells or water treasures. and food is splitted into meat food and vegan food wells have unlimited water. you can order your workers to plant a tree (consumes water and some wood). you can plant a field using some vegies and water but it has limited vegan resources. from coral you can spend water and vegies to get meat. this way you can afford realistic resource regeneration except for stone and metal. it has a problem with AI tho, because it rely on harvesting the fruit bushes.

@LetswaveaBook I totally agree. While it’s obvious that the merc cav are op, I would hate to see them become useless next alpha.

No jokes, that was my final goal. You are lucky that I am bad at blender, otherwise 0AD graphics will turn into minecraft.

I played a 1v1 game against vinme and I would like to share it with those who might not play 1v1s frequently. It was a very fun game to play, but I can't guarantee it also leads to a good commentary. Mercenary cavalry gets a lot of hate on the balance side of things, but it also has a chance to make games more interesting. I hope that when you see this game you would wish A26 not to be just a boom game. #horsesneedlove Btw, after viewing the video of @mysticjim, I was in the mood for making a tumbnail for youtube. 2021-12-27_0002.zip

Um... at this point why even play the game? Might as well just move some colored blocks around.

I don't log often this days due to heavy work, but man this deserves a medal!

Is there a place where they can be seen? To see more details about OpenGL, follow the changes in resolutions in the future and see what else is available there.

If Jonathan says he doesn't promise, we'll definitely have it in due course!
