We're currently working with the mod.io team to resolve this. While it's being resolved, you can download the mod from gitea : https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad-community-mod/releases from 0ad.mod.io https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/community-mod from the forums https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/83784-introducing-the-official-community-mod-for-alpha-26/?do=findComment&comment=599122 from the game by changing the game's modio api key to c1895e080b11f5de0d5a51ca7d90b64a To do this you need to edit your user.cfg file. Add the line modio.v1.api_key="c1895e080b11f5de0d5a51ca7d90b64a" You can also run the game with -conf=modio.v1.api_key:c1895e080b11f5de0d5a51ca7d90b64a

In 1v1s, you dont have an ally. In teamgames, he has an ally aswell. If youur ally has to help you, the enemy ally has a boom advantage and their team wins. They are (one of?) the only cav archers in p1. Thats why they're better; they outrange your soldiers (except archers ofc). If you're an cs archer civ, just make more archers and a few towers Making your own cav and going to his base (instead of chasing his cav archers) is also very good, if he loses his food eco he cant make any more cav. With a civ with counter cav you can just rush him before he rushes you, this camel archer tactic is weak against very early pressure.

Check out the community mod. Walls are cheaper/faster to build but weaker. Weaker as in you can destroy stone walls with infantry, but it just takes a while. by making walls and palisades cheaper but weaker, they are more useful early on and less useful in the late game.

Hello, Please don't insert more counter and don't up the counter statistic of spear infantery. Increasing the ability to build walls, etc., is not desirable. It's fine as it is, and it's not a way to balance things. Bunkering shouldn't become a game meta. The pace of the games is important. Spear infantry costs nothing compared to a cav champ spear. They are expensive and it normal they destroy a simple citizen troop. Their speed is normal and realistic. Champion Cavalry should be one of the best units in the game. It's normal, historical, and fun, but we need to give non-spammers of the unit a chance to compete. In full combat without escape they are not unkillable with armies including a few infantry champions. Here are the proposed changes to reduce the unit's strength. Nerf piercing armor -1 armor Delete tech 10% HP and tech persians/selucid 20% hp champ Reduce movement speed from 18 to 16.2. As heavy units, they shouldn't be faster than light cavalry Make units stack less during movement and combat. They should lose time repositioning when attacking to reflect more realistic spacing. Rethinking the capture : Increase the bonus point capture phase 3 for garnison unit. It too much frustrating currently. You loose easy easy building even with full garnison against not a big army. Range of champ cav persians et selucid is op too, 7 meters! Back to 4. They only cost 10 metal more and they have MORE RANGE and ARMOR, Isn't this a source of imbalance? I think it enough like that. ----- ---- ----

Olá guys! Since the last time, I took charge to update a little this fantastic mod (1000 AD), but some work was left undone. Meanwhile some other amazing contributors from the community adapted it to A26 version of the game. Now a new alpha version of 0AD has just been launched, and it would be really cool to update also this mod along! Is there anyone interested to join forces and help? The reward will be immense gratitude and everlasting glory in the 0AD hall of fame! A roadmap is still not yet defined, so is also a good chance to advance proposals. • Main goal: is to make the mod full compatible to A27. If someone has experience developing, then it would be appreciated some help with troubleshootung and bug fixing In general, I would like to add a whole Asian Expansion: since last time, together with @Lopess we worked on porting a nomadic turkic civilization, Tang Dynasty and Japan. It could be an interesting roster of new civs to play with! • Additionally, it would be cool to have some playtesting and bug reports, for those who are interested. • Also map design could be a nice contribution for a full package of new skirmish maps Someone in the forum complained for lack of mods for A27. It was a quite harsh and unfair comment, but it shows the importance also of a florid ecosystem of mods and experiments together with the main game to keep it growing and interesting to a wide audience! And, for this, there's need of contribution from everyone. Let's make 0ad great (again)!

It's already playable, but annoying warnings on the screen still need to be fixed. I hope to be able to fix this this week. https://github.com/wltonlopes/millenniumad

In my opinion the biggest hindrance for walls being effective for their intended use (apart from annoying wall spam that turtle players do) is ease of placement and sealing. Snapping to/from buildings and obstructions such as cliffs would be awesome but I recognize its a complicated thing to accomplish. There have been games where I was able to get a lot of value out of palisade walls, trapping cav in my base or stopping raids, but usually the amount of attention and planning required is as prohibitively expensive as their cost and build time. Real tabasco's comm mod changes for palisades and walls should be a good step in the right direction, and hopefully we get enough comm mod games to make sure of that.

I'm not exactly top 10 material, but I think getting loom as soon as you notice them coming is important. Loom doubles the number of arrow hits to kill, so considering they miss quite a bit, your women won't go down nearly fast. other than that, cavalry and towers.

Palisades are not cheap enough either. They also take too long to build. Closing up your base (or vulnerable parts) just because you think cav might be coming gives you too big of an economic disadvantage. And reacting with palisades after the first raid hitted just means the first raid did even more damage. Also they are paper to anything melee. Is that not what they are currently doing? If I need 100 citizen archers to actually one-shot a champion cavalry unit, Id say each one is doing more of a "harassment" than a "killing". Also, almost all units have armor? If cavalry was 1.5x as quick than infantry, it would still be quicker? Just for reference; the fastest base cav unit in AoE2 (the hussar) is 1.5x as fast as their counter (the halberdier). If it works for them, it might just work for us.

Ok, we have a community mod release for a27 out now. Here are the main changes: Units no longer get "stuck" attacking low preference units, like buildings. When attacking buildings without player intention, they will check for higher preference units each time they attack. If you told them to attack a building, this does not occur. Walls and palisades can be placed on top of trees, deleting them upon completion. Also, walls and palisades are cheaper, faster building, and weaker. This is to selectively improve their utility early on, while decreasing their effectiveness when spammed all over the map. Stone walls can be destroyed in reasonable time by infantry. Buildings are more difficult to capture while empty. Base building capture point regen: 0.5 -> 5. CC capture point regen: 5 -> 20 Fort capture point regen: 10 -> 30 What this means is you will need a larger capturing advantage over the defender in order to start bringing down capture points. Buildings (except for CCs and Fortresses) are easier to destroy without siege. Hack and Pierce armor are both decreased, so ranged units will now be able to damage buildings, just not as well as melee units. For some buildings, crush armor is decreased from 3 to 2, allowing siege to break through weaker buildings more quickly. Edit: I forgot to mention that cavalry receive a 30% damage debuff vs buildings, which mirrors their existing 30% capture attack debuff. It is my understanding that something along the lines of the last paragraph was intended to come with attacking buildings by default, so we can see what gameplay effects this has. From my own testing, destroying a building is roughly as good as capturing with the same number of units, but buildings don't regen health like they do capture points, so attacking buildings would be better than capturing if there are defending units.

On another note, I've actually made some great progress on the map recently: (haven't painted the ocean floor yet) I will upload some screenshots and the files when I'm done; but I want to remake some sections and polish everything up a bit more first. As you might remember, I am using the 'desert_persia' biome mixed with the 'aegean_anatolian' biome. Southeastern Spain is a lot more arid than regions like Italy, Greece, or Turkey and not far away at all from a typical "desert". Honestly, I was really afraid it could turn out looking horrible, but they ended up fitting together quite well in my opinion. The only thing I struggled with was fading between bushy and earthy spots. There are a lot of textures available for empty and dry grounds. And some others full of bushes ( / vegetation in general) - namely 'Desert plants b persia' and 'Desert plants a'. What's missing is something in between to fill this gap. Patches of bushes don't just abpruptly "end" at a particular point; instead, with increasing distance, bushes are becoming smaller and sparser. And it's this transition that I find very hard to replicate with available textures. If someone could create a such a texture that would be amazing. Essentially a sparser variant of 'Desert plants b persia' (and if of 'Desert plants a' too that would be even better!) @wowgetoffyourcellphone maybe?

Oh, I totally forgot about this last post I made here. Regarding icons, I will try to incorporate existing ones (like the resource types), but I don't think there'd be much value in creating new, specific ones, if players don't see them anywhere outside of the tutorial later too. Regarding the instructions, I have spent a good amount of time thinking about it and here's my plan: I want to split up all instructions currently stuffed into the tutorial panel into four different categories (each displayed on their own panel - with only one or maybe two visible at once): - Simple Tasks. Basic instructions like "Left-click on your Civic Center", "Train _____ units", "Order them to build a storehouse". Only the active one needs to be displayed at once. - Basic Information and Tips. Everything that doesn't directly help players progress through the game, but just teaches them how to do something. For example, how to select units, how to build structures, or how to read the minimap. This could still be done in an interactive way, but these sections need to be skippable. - Game Objectives. Larger tasks like "Explore the map", "Repel the attack", or "Capture the Civic Center" that take more time to complete. I plan to add this functionality to scenarios and trigger scripts in general, and not just the tutorial. Objectives can be given, completed or stopped at any point during the game, all of which is announced by fading in some sort of "banner" in the top center. They don't need to be required for ultimately winning the game and could instead function more like "side quests" too by providing other rewards (like unlocking certain units, receiving some resources - stuff that can be done in trigger scripts already) But I haven't really thought about how to connect them to the current "victory conditions" (conquest, wonder, etc. - which are called "objectives" in the game right now) yet. - Plot Points. There is no interface in place right now to tell a story to the player. At all. This would in first instance become relevant at the start of a game, of course. But I imagine it would also be cool to have the possibility of advancing the plot during a game as well, maybe even depending on player decisions... (this interface too could be made available to all scenario scripts, and not just the tutorial) At the moment, I'm trying to come up with good UI designs for each of these. Ideas, design concepts, or UI mockups are much welcomed, as always.
