Hi! I'm Daniel, current president of the student association of GUL UC3M (gul.es, sorry, we don't have an english version) an association focused on the promotion of open-source software. TL;DR: We are going to organise a videogame open-source event in late April (jamon.gul.es) and we would love to have someone talking and sharing about 0 A.D. - Long version In 2018 we organised a game-jam called GUL Jamón (jamon.gul.es/2018) with only open-source software. It was only not a game-jam but also a week of training in Pygame and Godot. The event was quite a success and we want to repeat this year but given it a little twist focusing on talks rather than a game-jam due to the pandemic. This new edition will be called "GUL Jamón - Charleta Edition" which will be something like "GUL Jamón - Small Talk Edition". This edition is planned to be on 19-21 of April, between 15:00-19:00 (GMT+1). It will be completely online and free for everyone. I am creating this post to look for someone willing to participate in the event, and give a talk/workshop about 0 A.D. Thanks for your time! PS: Ideally I would love if the speaker know spanish because we try to promote all our content in spanish, as in english there is resources for almost everything but not in spanish. However it won't be an impediment because we will be in an university environment so everyone should know english.

The "view.scroll.mouse.detectdistance" option was added to SVN. It'll be available in A26.

theres lot of players now, honestly setting up a multiplayer game is so time consuming and boring you might as well create matchmaking and ranked games may be hard to find 8 players of similar ranking but not 4 players of similar ranking, or even 2 players, in the same time can also display the amount of "people currently in queue for a 4v4 ranked" so that players will know to not waste time searching for 4v4 ranked when theres 0 people in 4v4 queue (also do this for 1v1 and 2v2) they can then go for 1v1 ranked match making i suggest mainland as the map for ranked games and yes you dont need to be expert from psychology to know that the system of ranking badges (bronze gold etc) is ADDICTING !! and makes players want to play more, study more and improve themselves more (meanwhile setting up a game is so boring and daunting and then theres practically 0 reward for winning, rankeds would change it) i suggest to create ranking badges similar to these in league of legends (although they dont have to be copies, you can base them and their names on history) i also suggest to create a panel (whole window) where u can view your and other players ranked info and there you would see his ranking badges for 1v1,2v2 and 4v4 modes (3 different badges) right now ranked games are in sorry state, completely inexistent, completely abusable and completely failing to do what they should i think it goes without saying but DC/exiting a ranked should be equal to lose ive been wondering why thats not the case but its a must. if you are scared of players simply ddosing their opponents in rankeds games then there must be a solution to this i believe. and its not like everyone can ddos about 25%+ of players simply exit game or even pull out their ethernet cable (to somehow make the lie more believable) to not lose ranking points i remember a player who did this numerous times i doubt he got banned, he even was reported multiple times by different people to me rankeds are a serious matter as name implies and they shouldnt be easily abusable like that these are my thoughts and suggestions regarding rankeds take it or leave it

I suggest a badge given by user1 for people leaving ranked games lol

Hi Daniel! I had no idea GUL's were an international thing! Thank you so much for reaching out. I would be okay for taking part in that event of yours under the form of a presentation of your choosing. A workshop might be a bit tricky to do, but it is possible as well depending on how complex it needs to be. Unfortunately I don't know any Spanish (I'm french), but I can get the presentation translated by people on the forums and sent to you I would definitely do it in English, though. Regards, Stan

Here's a perfect sound: counter-strike-jingle-cs-radio-enemy-spotted.mp3 In seriousness, maybe a single trumpet note or something?

Funny story for the non spanish-speakers about the name. "Game Jam" is usually called "Game JamOn" in Spain, which are 3 words: "Game, Jam and On", because in spanish "JamOn" means "ham" in english. When we first thought about the 2018 game jam, I asked "what is the meaning of 'jam'" (because i didn't remember at the time), someone said "jamón" (ham), nobody corrected that person, we thought that a ham would be funny in the logo and we chose that name. Weeks later I realised, not only that "jamon" in english was not "jam" but "Ham", but that in Spain people usually call the game jams "game jam-on"! A funny name I thought original was not only but another name to the list of endless game jams called "jam-on" XDD

I don't know about other countries, but in Spain is quite common to have an student association or a department at the university strongly related with open-source software/hardware. However we rarely talk to each other nor organise event as a group xDD We (as association) usually operates in the enviroment of our university (Universidad Carlos III de Madrid) and sometimes we participate in other events from other universities but is not very common. I'll reach you through private message, thank you!!

Perhaps at 2/3 the rate of ptol food bonus since it “wood” be more OP in early game. ^weirdjoke for you lol I definitely think we need competitive and creative economic team bonuses. Britons Persians Carthage Athens

A team bonus for siege will be very bad. There are teambonuses needed which can compete whith the ptolemy and iberian ones. I suggest to replace the macedonian bonus by one bonus wood per second.

Use Yekaterina's mod (or mine whynot.zip ) Guaranteed you won't miss them

Good point. Sometimes, the power of particular units is hidden by trends in gameplay. Before fall 2021 few players did "merc rushes" with cav or inf and at the same time there were lots of complaints about consular bodyguard. I think after all the merc-cav proliferation, Romans are less able than ever to get their champions because they need to fight earlier in defense or offense because of extra p2 activity that is caused by mercenary attacks. I would argue that consular bodyguard are still OP (too much armor), its just we don't see them very often due to mercs. I am not saying that merc rushes should not exist (they are very exciting/fun), just that it obscures other balance issues.

I agree. I still think some siege related team bonus is appropriate but this can be for A27, alongside other team bonus adjustments perhaps.

Hello @user1, my opponent as host quit a rated 1v1 without resigning, because he clearly lost the game Lobby name: AlexanDerGrosse Opponent's lobby name: geschichte Thank you commands.txt metadata.json

What about player colored linen cuirass? and colorful tunics with player color accent? I made these before as prototype concept for the mercenary hoplites

Well, you have to have some kind of cool down or else you're inundated with notification sounds

Let's just remove it for now and come up with something better (less exploitable) for A27 @Stan` @Freagarach @Silier @wraitii @bb_

Oh! The Macedonian market is still exploitable due to their barter bonus.

It is a 1v1 with Macedonians vs. Seleucids: Which faction do you think has the advantage? Casted by @mysticjim If we want to understand balancing, I think we should also discuss fair matches (instead of 60 firecav agains 80 CS infantry).

Ah, that makes sense. Sadly I don't have the skill or time for texturing right now.

If your farmers are close enough they of course find the fruit trees after exhausting a berry patch with no prompting. Seriously do we really need more hand holding than hovering your cursor over a tree to see if its wood or food? Since fruit trees are usually solitary, does anyone waste time setting up a wood line next to one?

I think the bananas for tropic maps, date palms for desert maps, and berry bushes for temperate maps are pretty clear. The date palms in particular look supremely distinct from the other palm trees. Same for the bananas. The major problem is with the Fig and Apple trees. The Apple trees can be redesigned and remodeled for sure. And then the Fig, which looks too much like a strangler or baoabab, can just be removed completely. With the new minimap proably coming in A27 (crosses fingers; sacrifices to Athena), I think we can look into options for adding a berry bush icon or something because the minimap will be bigger (and dynamically scalable). No pressure, @Langbart

My idea. Let's keep it simple, shall we? To differentiate the Epilektos from other champion spearmen, let's make them have -1 all armor types, but +10% speed, +20% attack range, and +10% attack. I can make a slightly longer hoplite spear for them and also resize a smaller aspis for them. I don't think a champion needs to necessarily look more armored than an elite citizen unit, especially since if they historically did not necessarily wear more armor. If you want to change the name, then I am open. In the old days we had to make it simple, and the "Ekdromos" didn't seem like a good fit for a champion, hence the genesis of the Epilektos (and the Marine) which combined the aspects of the Picked Hoplite and Iphicratean reforms.

Yes, weakness

Hi @user1. My opponent quit a rated 1v1 without resigning. Maybe accidental, but I was going to win and would like the rating points. My lobby name: thephilosopher Opponent's lobby name: WilsonWilson commands.txt metadata.json

By the way the field which shows fps, game time and real time covers now the first technology you are researching. So you cant see which one it is and its timestamp. Chineses seem to be too OP

Rio de Janeiro. Lol
