Quick check: alcGetString(nullptr, ALC_DEVICE_SPECIFIER) returns nullptr or at least a char* starting with "\0" in 1.24.0 It's only used for printing the device name into a logfile. Making the follow up code expecting non NULL segfault. Skipping that part the sound works just fine, as it's only used for printing the device name into a logfile.

Also agree. But an extra 1K in food isn’t a hill I will die on.

Well, I did start DE in part to test new ideas.

Have them promote to Centurions.

Not what i meant. In a CS fight, with meat shield + skirms against cav, the meat shield units( spears or pikes) won't actually kill cav faster than the skirms

Yes, to an extent. However, the situation where melee infantry units die first is still present Not if you play against me; I will snipe your skirmishers!

That's really cool. Thanks! I'll make a PR soon.

Is the lackluster role of melee units in general adressed in this mod or the meta is still prioritising javelins and ranged dmg over everything else in combat?

This makes a lot of sense, but I'm not sure you need to add any cost. I'd like to see Wonders built as a matter of course or at least in 50% or so matches.

Agreed. Native + anglicized name, code querying native name.

A shocking suggestion from @wowgetoffyourcellphone!

Here is a PR for this: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7232. But we still don't have a final alarm sound yet.

Strong agree. I also think it should be immediately researched. Having to wait an extra 2 mins (or whatever the amount of time is) doesn’t make sense when the pop bonus is the only reason to ever build a wonder in the first place. The need for it to be immediately available is even stronger if basically roll the tech cost into the cost of the structure itself.

Wonders Right now they are glorious structures that are never made except for the rare Wonder race game. Proposal Add 1000 Food cost. Make Glorious Expansion free (as a structure aura of the wonder) but give less pop bonus (maybe 15% instead of 20%)

Ok, it looks like I have to keep the "Default" category name because it is baked into the gui setup defaults for random maps AND skirmish maps. ^makes me want to vomit. So basically I will rename "Favorites" to "Default". Actually, because of this, it is not worth my time. I think we have a good idea of the way forward though. In the mean time, I will do some miscellaneous improvements to several maps, especially looking at wood resources. In that patch I'll delete kerala.

I also think that champ cav shouldn't be nerfed too much, just having more viable counters is needed.

Ive addressed some of these things in my mod, if anyone is interested. Ive actually decreased everyones capture rate, infantry and cav, champ and regular. Also Champ cavs cost slighly more and take a little more train time so its a little harder to spam them All sorts of other changes too. Similar to com mod, and would like to get more imput for more players!

I see the point, but i'd argue that the ideal balance here is if spearmen are a resource counter to champ cav. They are champions after all. As a resource counter, they might lose with equal numbers or even outnumbering the champ cav slightly, they win decisively when resources are matched.

As I said, most 0ad problems are caused by handicapping civilisations. If every civ has champion melee cavalry then the problem is solved. There are people who want to play Mauryas Athens and Sparta. These civs shouldn't be removed from the game. Your quest for diversity reduced diversity. Sometimes making the base structure tree the same helps a lot In the past you had complaints about slingers, archers, pikeman, skirmisher cavalry, almost every unit. If you had given every civilisation an archer, a skirmisher/ slinger, the problems wouldn't have existed! Everyone can make that op unit and it wouldn't have been a thing!
