0 A.D take the history in your hands! The first time I played Age of Empires I fell in love, but with 0 A.D I got married. ------ now to the point --------- As it is already in the final stage of development, there is Alpha. There is no room for anything new. continuing the series of wishes for the next Alpha. I wish: More technologies for early and second phase. more cultural and religious background.(Bonus in stats and HP, XP). More units. new sub classes. ( Differentiate units with little armor and with a lot of armor) More maps. New modes. More differentiated factions. More strategies. More AI development.

Nah, just make the Triarius trained at Elite rank, making them economically almost useless, but militarily strong, without losing their CS status. The Triarii weren't élite in the sense of being fantastic fighters, they were simply those soldiers in the oldest age-class and a level below the Equites in wealth.

I don't like to see repeated icons, on different things. I am developing some based on their names. I'm developing the archers practice.

The catapult or trebuchet were much more expensive and hi-tech weapons The downside of the ram was having to go up to the target, so it needed serious infantry support to survive very long. The 0AD model of a few unmanned rams quickly flattening a fully manned fortress is so wrong. (or unsupported elephants same argument) The catapult mainly damaged with fire

这个模组最初是2020年秋天在A23上开始做的，是个修改游戏玩法的模组，适应了我作为帝国时代3玩家的一些习惯。模组第一个版本刚做完的时候刚好A24就发布了，于是半年后我又从A25上从头开始做，到现在修修改改大致作出了想要的效果，所以在这里也发一下。因为我是中国人，大致的介绍我会发汉英两部分，英文部分是机翻，请以汉文内容为准。 This mod was originally started on A23 in the fall of 2020. It is a mod that modifies the gameplay and adapts to some of my habits as an Age of Empires 3 player. When the first version of the mod was just finished, A24 was released, so half a year later, I started from scratch on A25, and now the modifications have roughly achieved the desired effect, so I will post it here as well. Because I am Chinese, I will give a general introduction in Chinese and English. The English part is translated by machine. Please refer to the Chinese content. 相比A25这个模组主要改动如下： Compared with the A25, the main changes of this mod are as follows: 现在的版本是0.25.7，这里提供模组本体以及汉文补丁。 The current version is 0.25.7, here is the mod body and another Chinese patch(Players who do not understand Chinese do not need to download this).

Dear community, as you know, Alpha 26 is nigh. We've all seen the topic for determining its name and the speculations on what happens after this release. Today we want to announce to you that a decision has been made regarding the future of 0 A.D. Due to the lack of letters in the alphabet following this release, we've decided that Alpha 26 will be the last release of 0 A.D. We thank you for your support and wish you all the best! Kind regards, Wildfire Games

Hi guys. I like this game a lot and I'm having some fun doing some scenarios. I'm just trying some ideas. My name is Leandro. I'm brazilian. Here some scenarios and videos: Rio scenario: Noronha scenario: Napata War scenario: My FuradeiraSoftware page with FuraGames 0AD scenarios and descriptions: https://furadeirasoftware.com/faces/jsf0ad.xhtml My github project with all the scenarios in the FuraGames mod: https://github.com/leandrodmartini/0ad-mods/tree/master

I am going to open a topic of cultural and civic technologies. I'm going to wait a bit for the release of A26. And finish some portraits.

That quick battle mode is what 0AD is for. 0BC complements with a more continuous experience. Enjoying the world. Epic adventures. Settling along merrily. (it will be less deadly and less artificial)

We could have started to include some a long time ago. Sadly we don't have the manpower to do so. Just like many other features. My wish list: Experiment with features. I'll be overhauling some things that players won't notice, though. ^^'

Hi guys! Water Engine. I've searched for this and haven't found. Is that so difficult to make water flow from higher altitude to lower altitude in the game? I think it would be amazing. If the water were related to the resources needed to a civilization grow in the game it would be super. I know the game started as a Age of Empires mod. But I think is a bigger thing now. I'm trying to use the game to teach some economics matter. All games like Empire Earth, Rising Nations, AoE, etc have resources but none of them have water witch is basic and the most important resource in the past and today . The water Engine would make possible great new scenarios. I can't stop thinking about what to create. Let me know what you think about it. Best regards!

More campaigns and AI development - basically, more ways to play the game by yourself even after you're a good player.

Hello @user1, once more a player quite a rated 1vs1 against me without resigning. Would be great if I could get points to improve my rating... many thanks in advance Would b commands.txtmetadata.json

That would be very nice. Currently the dominant strategy has little strategical depth: Spam skirmishers and spearmen (or pikemen)

Indeed to get the macedonians campaigns in we need a massive overhaul of the maps in there. I haven't tested the scenario itself though.

Yes, the destructive power of battering rams and elephants to buildings is too high, so that the difference between low-tech weapons and high-tech weapons in siege weapons cannot be reflected, especially battering rams, siege towers and catapults are P3 unlocked. There's another reason, whether it's a CC or a fort, these buildings require too many soldiers to have enough firepower, causing you to think twice about letting the garrison leave the building to attack the battering ram, as this will significantly weaken Building firepower. And the enemy's troops covering the battering ram can in turn eliminate the soldiers you leave the building's protection when the threat of the building's firepower diminishes. It is also very necessary to increase the base firepower of the defensive buildings, to put it mildly, the firepower of CCs, towers and fortresses should be at least doubled without any garrison.

Do you have more ideas on this, I think there is more room for refinement.

I used to want to join P4 too, but now I feel like it's unnecessary. People feel that the early game is too short because P2 is irrelevant in the current game. In this stage, players basically don't fight, because you don't have siege weapons, and attacking enemy cities is mostly futile. So people ignored P2, and the stone wall that appeared in P2, and chose to go directly to P3 to fight. Therefore, the current battles mainly take place in P1 and P3. This kind of game progress, like a dumbbell, is very strange to me.

having a 4th phase doesn't change phase 1 and 2 being short. One would need to redesign them so that they actually provide different gameplay options, instead of just being phases you rush through to p3. So I don't think that's a good argument. I'm not against p4, but it has t be filled with something meaningful and unless most of DE's concepts are adapted I don't see this happening.

We need campaign mode, and other interesting maps with trigger scripts. Let each faction have more abundant units, such as slingers and axeman. Enrich the types of formations and strengthen their effects. In addition to the Greeks and Romans, other ethnic groups should also have unique formations.

I think a simple aura bonus (something like the old woman eco bonus but for fighting) would be simple (easy to understand so the game doest become overly compacted) and nice (creates new strategies and features). It also wouldn’t require code changes or anything like that. ton of its options here for sure.

i would love to see a couple more skiritai-esq units. One of which could be axe cav, especially since this unit is unique to the Persians. Hyrcannian cav are currently worse than swordcav, with less hack/sec and 2 less pierce armor. Their best use is for crush against buildings. Since they seem to be a "light" cavalry, I think it would be cool if they could become a more costly, more powerful rank 3 unit like skiritai. Specifically, this should be the fastest cavalry in the game, keeping the light armor, but additional hack dmg. The specifics of these could be honed obviously for balance, but I think a fast and light, high damage unit would be exciting.

This part was not convincing.

I mean, in most RTS, the battering ram is a relatively basic unit, not very high in attack and HP. But 0AD, rams are put in the later stage (I always wonder why P2 did not siege), the cost is very high, and it looks like a high-tech weapon. Excessive technical requirements and costs result in the battering ram having to be strengthened in terms of data, otherwise it will become an expensive and fragile waste product.

Otimo trabalho, adorei ver como você trabalha com o efeito de "câmera de cinema" !

I'd like to hear from others who try it. If you have a screen recording setup and do 0ad videos on Youtube, maybe you can show your play experience? I mostly play with it locally with AI so far, hasn't been much tested in multiplayer.

Here is one of them.

I am one of those who thinks that there must be a ram made with a trunk and men carrying it. That would be fun, there is already such a unit in the Xiongnu faction.

In real life too. The ideal is that they become strong with units inside. Stats should increase, it was given to me that these machines protected units to capture walls and destroy buildings. they should was slow unless more men pushed the siege engine. They are very strong bin 0 A D. compared to other strategy games.

I forgot the campaigns. @Stan` We can start including some.

When A26 is done.

Can't it be an interesting differentiation if made more explicit, or if it comes with bonii ?

On the contrary, this will first increase the status of the stone walls and forts, thus making the siege machinery more necessary. In current battles, players rarely build walls and fortresses, except for the walls given by Iberia at the start. So it's easier and more common to capture buildings with units (which honestly feels awkward to capture buildings and then delete them), or demolish unfortified buildings with rams. And if we make burning buildings more efficient than capturing them, then players will fortify their towns with stone-built fire-resistant fortifications, hindering infantry and cavalry attacks, and siege machines will become Indispensable.

I think they should reach 100% of the resource(food) if the fruit trees are not harvested after a while.

Well it needs code and animations.

Funny thing is that when i saw a video from Invicta I think it was, on the Skiritai, it was truly underwhelming compared to the game lol.

As someone who plays Seleucids pretty regularly these day, I actually never even knew about this. Unless I find myself playing a 1v1 on an inappropriately large map, the thought of building a new CC is one that never even occurs to me. The military colony is a superior building for expansions.

Excuse me, did you just say:

I don't think the feature itself is super weird, only that there's no detail in-game about it.

The pathfinder overhead was greatly reduced by using more CPU cores (on things that have them at least) Nowadays graphics and javascript simulation are quite big on performance. Wraitii made a patch to reduce some performance loss due to the AI (data was copied to it which is slow)

will japan civ have waifus

I loved BFME' heroes

I don't think RTS is doomed. Obviously RTS is not where the big money is.

I like this new faction. Many of the games I've seen always depict a later era, usually Japan after the 8th century, which seems to be more Chinese, while the earlier Japan with its own civilization characteristics is rarely represented.

Rio de Janeiro. Lol

When them AI start spamming them

Can you please add detailed historical references to every building, unit, animal such it was at Age of Empires III at lower unit tab? And add some additional political maps with locations of game civilizations. Something like that:

People want battles. People want formations to mean something. People want Delenda Est.

They can have waifus as heroes
