Way to go! lets keep the fire burning in A27 too. <3

HI, I just started recently to play the game for first time. I play offline against bots.

Updates to Icon Matching, Fuzzy Replacement, something more Updated the icon match for non-words and changed icon.json. Fixed the findBestMatch function for short non-word characters. Updated the fuzzy replacement to exclude marked strings. Added "AFK" for 1 to 9 minutes. Added "TTYL" to the fuzzy matching. Asked for the option "silhouettes" to be set manually , as it is important for fair play. Added modsImCurrentlyUsing to the hostServerName suggestion. Updated the tooltip description. https://github.com/sl5net/autocivP/releases/tag/v1.0.13

Sunday Pro Games Series has ended ! If there is demand, it might be back in A27. Feel free to leave feedback etc. and see u !

It really depends on what you like. Tigris and Euphrates is a classic game set in Mesopotamia. It focusses on heavy area control with occasional wars that can completely level cities you have carefully cultivated. Concordia is a fantastic game set during the Pax Romana period. You establish trade networks and try to dominate different Roman provinces. Hannibal and Hamilcar is a card driven wargame that models the 1st and 2nd Punic Wars. The games can be long yet in theory a good sort of long. Not for the fainthearted. Command and Colours Ancients is part of a simple but classic wargame system that serves as the basis for the more popular Memoir '44. You can recreate a variety of historical engagements with it. Paolo Mori's Caesar! is apparently an incredibly well made game for representing Pompey and Caesar's war in only 20 minutes. Also, if you like Pandemic, there is a Pandemic variant representing the migration period, where you play as various Romans trying to stave off the barbarian threats. I especially enjoy the fact that the game models the historical paths the various tribes took.

Okay, I got a number of issues with the whole business of tournaments in 0AD, broadcasting them, prize money - and the proposed funding of this specific instance. I'm going to deal with the latter first. @DerekO - you're what now, 14 or 15 years old? While I don't doubt you have $1000 knocking around - and if you do, technically it's yours to do what you want with it, but I do have serious concerns, if 0AD players really want tournament play with cash prizes, as to why a 14 year old should be funding it? From what I can tell, the business of monetizing any part of 0AD officially, even if it's to generate prize money for a tournament, is a major administrative nightmare, and anything 3rd party is currently as unofficial as it gets. In the event of a private tournament being run by a third party, WFG would have to distance itself from it legally in the event of any potential issue that might come up, such as reports of cheating, technical issues, disputed results and ultimately, delivery or non-delivery of the promised prize money. Not to mention the person putting up said prize having the capabilities to wire prize funds to potentially any country in the world. Tournaments involving money need at least some form of regulation, they can't just be thrown out there on the fly. To my knowledge, hardly any of the free tournaments I've seen have managed full participation by all players or reached a satisfactory conclusion within a sensible timescale. Tournament play in 0AD is nowhere near mature enough to support the sudden introduction of cash prizes. Regarding tournament play itself, without an official means of hosting tournaments within the game lobby, the whole thing would be a bit of a DIY effort, further relying on third parties for tournament structure. WFG and the current dev direction of 0AD have shown no particular priority towards formalising tournament play in game at this stage. Add to that the practicalities of players from 0AD's international player base in all the different time-zones actually taking part and the chances of technical fault free competitive play are severally limited. Finally, 0AD's current potential streaming audience is tiny. I do video on demand, mostly, with the occasional live recording - that I still edit to meet certain base production standards, and the final product is still VOD released to a schedule. If the VOD audience were to grow by a significant factor, regular live streaming would be a viable pursuit for the investment of time into it. Right now, it simply isn't, the metrics aren't there. I love the idea of tournament play, it adds a massive narrative to a series of games, they actually mean something - people can get invested in them. But right now, there simply isn't anything like enough of a professional or technical infrastructure to support it. Sorry, I probably sound like a complete old party-pooper, but I see more immovable obstacles than I see good outcomes at this time.

In BAR we got a lot of traction with prize pool tourneys, the last one was quite decent I think ~$500 and it attracts a lot of audience. I could see something like that working for 0ad, but some things would def. need to have been addressed by then to make it presentable esp. with regard to networking and spec tooling. A 'pro' stream setup helps wonders too, I'm certain @mysticjimwould have no problem with that :-)

A new map loosely based on chess. Created by @Jammyjamjamman and idea and help creating from @andy5995 . 1v1 map, where both players start with (the same set of) 16 units. Players must kill all of their enemy's units to win. Available in community maps 2 .

Steamrolling, naval bombardment,attacking military buildings,bully(sometimes with any units),thermopolae/hellgate, defencive guerrilla, architecst, also what I call strategy which is when possible surround the enemy then attacking usually aiming for priority targets I love playing as the spartans btw
