Hello everyone! I hereby present a 0 A.D. mod aimed at evaluating the rating of players. Official mod page on GitLab here. Introduction Before diving into the description, let me introduce the problem this mod aims to solve. In 0 A.D., the ELO system is used to rank players in the lobby. This is good; but is it representative of the players' skills? As you know, the rating system in 0 A.D. only takes into account 1v1 rated games. Team games do not contribute to the ELO score of a player, as well as 1v1 unrated games. Also, the scoring system only takes into account the outcome of a game (victory/defeat) and not the "performance" during the game. Can we do better? This mod uses statistics. It extracts data from all the replays of games you (the mod user) have played. So, if you have played 20 games (1v1s, team games, other..) with a player in the lobby whose name is (for example) strangeJokes, the mod will assign a rating to strangeJokes based on the 20 games you've played with them. The rating system The functioning of the rating system is described in detail here, but in short what it does is: it considers the average performance of the player during the entire game (and not only at game's end). the rating assigned to a player is a percentage: for example, a player with a rating of 5.00 performs a 5% better than other players on average, while a player with a rating of -5.00 performs a 5% worse than other players on average. you can customize the rating system by giving more importance to military, economy, exploration or other factors to the aim of calculating ratings. Keep in mind that this mod is based on statistics; data are taken from your (the mod user) replays. Statistics might not be fully representative of reality; therefore, a player's rating could be inaccurate, especially if you have played few games with that player. The more you play with a player, the more accurate the rating of that player is.

@rossenburg I like your solution, as it is simple and might be effective. I have some questions, comments ,and improvements about your feature. Questions......... How would you finally verify a player as smurf? based on number of reporting for the player? How would you handle collective abuse of the feature? Where certain group of players mark certain player as smurf (for fun or some other reason) even though he is not? Will smurf will have his say in deciding his account as smurf? What is the exact role of lobby modeartor in your solution? He is just a tagger or he will also have his say tagging the player as smurf? Comments.......... Try to add more functionalities than just smurf reporting. More use case a feature covers most likely to be added. Example use cases are Report for leaving a game Report for DDOS Report for in game abuse etc... Penalties suggestions are Muting in lobby Banning for certain days. This will be more effective, as player would want to play 0ad and he will login with account to play. After a while he wil be tired of making acounts and will return to original. If player finds out the original player, tag original account as smurf. This will scare most of smurfs as they don't want to loose their orginal account. (Although player concent should be taken before banning as warning) Improvements......... Creating a level of messaging and penalties for smurfs based on number of reportings. lets say x number of players has reported player as smurf then. 3<=x<=5 , kick/disconnect from lobby with notification "Your account has been reported as smurf account, please login with your original account". 5<x<=8. Ban for 1 day 8<x<=10, ban for 3 days 10<x<=15, ban for a week. x>=15 permanent ban. The decision to ban should be with moderator while kick and disconnet should be automatically. Change the color of your ! as these reporting are done. for example from a color grade yellow to red. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 0AD_BOSS case is kind of questionable. @Stan` is this becasue he is using certain mod? Else how come someone has such stats? Example -ve matches?1 point

It won't be good player experience for new players. It might stop some smurfs but it will impact all newbies. So, not sure if this will be a good solution. Also, most smurf don't care about ratings except few, so this will only go in their favour, where no ratings is shown untill he can ruin 10 games for other players. It can go as overall suggestion to 0ad on how to calculate initial rating based on first 10 (or x) rated games and there after normal rating system that is currently present, but for smurf i'm not sure about it.1 point

adds a minimum of 10 games until the rating count starts, that way some will be "lazy" to start new accounts1 point

Yes, Aristeia is about the Bronze Age. Adding Bronze Age Celts to it would be great IMO. @Gurken Khan did you think this was a suggestion for the main game?1 point

I know the game has the gauls and the britons already, I guess if those factions will be left in the game with the mod installed then that's good. I was just wondering where if there would be celts. it is aristia which I thought was bronze age.1 point
