historical is the counter But also making sure that you dont let them mass Cataphracts

So wheat it is. At least that's what my peeps overwhelmingly eat. In earnest, I think a mod would be fine for changing icons etc, I don't see the need to change that in vanilla. I don't eat meat myself, but also I'm not habitually committing genocide IRL... As an aside: a while ago I had a suggestion to increase the visibility of the berry bushes, alas the art department failed to appreciate it:

Yes, it is. But, has your friend tried Silver Shield Pikemen with Chariots yet? Pikes hold the line while Chariots destroy everything from afar. Each civ has some OP units. Roman infantry is very OP when used effectively. Try using the Testudo formation (switch formation usage from "Walk/Patrol only" to "No override"). Testudo keeps all your infantry swordsmen in a very packed formation, slicing and dicing any nearby enemies in seconds. Add some Centurions to the mix for extra DPS. Centurions can be upgraded from Elite swordsmen and spearmen, or trained at Forts once Marian Reforms are researched.

Yes, I disabled all mods but feldmap now and will report once it shows up again. However: -RangeOverlayManager is not serielazed (see the Serialize function) -I was in the game from the start (no rejoin) -the binary dumps were identical

There are no counters to Sele/Pers champion cavalry spears (but you having more champ spear cav then your opponent). Even if you had spartiate or any champion infantry polearms. They have extra range (7m) so if your enemy fight with them in formation with some melee infantry, now the champs fight behind the infantry (who have 4m range), therefor your champ spears aren't counters. Tested it against borg in tg recently even him can't do anything.

Fine.

Town phase - Mass Triarius (Veteran Spearman) City phase - Consul Bodyguard cavalry/Marian Reforms spearmen/Marian Legionaries. Make sure you have Centurions nearby.

Maybe the game should ask about your dietary preference at the start. If you are a meat eater, a piece of meat will be used for the icon. If you are vegetarian, it will show an omelette as the icon and hunting will be disabled for you. If you are vegan, it will broadcast a message telling everyone about that for your convenience.

The skirmisher of the gauls get a cape when they promote to rank 2. During the attack animation this cape stays in position while the body moves forward and backward during throwing. See attachment gaul_cape.mp4

Yes @BeTe what you see there is the same as what is currently released (version 27.1)

I don't think so, it's very expensive and I've never produced more than 25

Looks amazing! What would be the purpose of this building? Some ideas: Train gladiator champions (which exist as templates but are hidden from the main game) Garrison units to rank them up very quickly

elexis has to add this: ffm was present from the beginning, did not rejoin everyone except ffm had the same hash on turn 1560 ffm had the same issue one match later ffm uses only 4k, feldmap and visibility mod sim state was from 3 turns later: oos_dump.txt oos turn: 1560 net client turn: 1563 sim turn: 1563 binary simstate is identical! textual simstate contains only differences in RangeOverlayManager.enabledRangeTypes local entities but both states are 3 turns too late, and its unlikely the mechanism will ever write simstate dumps from the correct turn, because the turn lengths are so short and because multiple turns are being computed in advance as far as I know. "Currently, the RangeOverlayManager is serialized" False: RangeOverlayManager.prototype.Serialize = null; The textual output showing this is a regression introduced in 9fc6c3c89769a3, pointed out in #7634 and stated to be addressed by c475cc22652528ce7014d "is definitely caused by one of your mods" pure conjecture ffm did not use riccis mods, ricci computed the same hash as everyone else but ffm! riccis hash is also computed without mods "Doing it any other way is just a waste of time, as you're all finding out now." you can be grateful if you get an OOS report at all, players reporting that is rare, you dont get many chances to identify an OOS, so if you want to dismiss an OOS report, you better investigate it first and not disregard it easily. it's possible it's caused by a broken mod but if you dismiss it without investigating it, you might be ignoring a valid report which can cause the bug to go not unnoticed but unreported for months. only difference in commands.txt besides the mods in the first line: --- commands_ffm.txt 2025-05-24 12:17:26.000000000 +0200 +++ commands_ricci.txt 2025-05-24 12:21:51.000000000 +0200 -hash cc1eb515c7554393f2a2dae2ca4770e6 +hash a763d2495ddab5956941ea577d3c6f30 another bug, not only in JS GUI but also the turn manager should not allow this: turn 3433 200 cmd -1 {"type":"stop","entities":[],"queued":false} cmd -1 {"type":"stop","entities":[],"queued":false} when ffm replays his own replay: Executing turn 1560 of 5970 ERROR: Replay out of sync on turn 1560 when I replay ffms replay without mods, also: hash MISMATCH (a763d2495ddab5956941ea577d3c6f30 != cc1eb515c7554393f2a2dae2ca4770e6) Turn 1560 (200)... So ffm did not rejoin, yet he was the only one to compute something different on turn 1560 but on turn 1563 the difference was gone already and he had this phenomenon on multiple matches. I also recommend never to release 0ad with OOS being not fixed, and therefore you should not remove 0a4bfefb1e5f40d93180690e328b11e148dec0cb but include this in the re-release and to bump the mod version in mod.json from "0.27.0" to "0.27.1". You're saying you release "0.27.1" so the mod version showing "0.27.0" seems misleading. Bumping the version should (TM) mean that due to the mod compatibility check in the lobby, 27.1 players can play in the same a27 lobby, but they can only join 27.1 games, while the 27.0 players play in the same lobby and can join only 27.0 games. A reason against doing it this that was brought up by sera was that you find yourselves unable to provide a release for all platforms and thus some players would be stuck to the old version for months (and thus would not be able to find players to play with). but if that problem was real, then you'd have the same problem with releases, not only re-releases and it doesn't stop you from releasing either. if that OOS 0a4bfefb1e5f40d93180690e328b11e148dec0cb was fixed in 27.1 and the version would have been bumped, then now you wouldnt have to investigate if it could be caused by the modifiers cache OOS. Worse: players get used to that OOS occurring and this means they will not report OOS anymore because they think its the same OOS.

well we also slowed infantry down a little too, just not quite as much as cav, closed the gap slighlty since it does say "walk"speed Plus again if you think of it in historical context and you have an army marching to a pitched battle location, they all march together same speed. Now in some cases they would send the cavalry off to run in front, scout, distrupt etc. but otherwise it makes no sense for the cavalry to get to the battle first if your gonna fight with Heavy Infantry and then use the cavalry on the flanks and to attack heavy infantry from behind.

Indeed. But sticking to what other rts are doing just for the sake of being the same is useless aswell.

I like other things in historical, but the slower cav speed there did make me realize that it is a exciting part of playing cavalry. Trying to get the most out of the mobility seems pretty normal. I'm not sure it will be well received by most players to reduce cav speed. Making counter damage actually punishing is probably all that's needed, and what will make the game more interesting. You shouldn't be able just rely on having a big number of champ cavs and bump into any army. As they have mobility and strength, they need a weakness, and that weakness should be being mediocre at holding a front-line against inf spears. Suggestion : restore old counter multiplier values (x3 inf spear vs cav and x2 spear cav vs cav).

Why nerf the speed of cavs? The whole point of cavs is being fast. If cavs are slow then just use infantry instead. We do need strong units but at reasonable quuantities.

I think I have owed you all an update on this project for a long time now. Me and @ShadowOfHassen have neither forgotten about the encyclopedia nor given up on it. I'm as convinced by and passionate about the idea as ever. It's just that I don't consider the project as high priority as other ones (like making campaigns or a tutorial). However, I can promise I will get back to the encyclopedia eventually: My plan is to overhaul the UI completely (in terms of appearance). The current one looks alright, but it just lacks that artistic touch. And, good news, I am actually in touch with @whiteebony82, he's creating sprites for it, and what I've seen so far looks amazing. Something to look forward to. About the articles, I'd love to resume the writing process, I'm hoping I'd able to still write some texts every now and then, but because I'm now more involved in the technical side of things, it'll never be as much as it once was. I haven't talked with @ShadowOfHassen about it yet, but before picking it up again I think we have to find some more people interested in helping, if we ever want to see it finished. One thing I want to do for sure, though, is to go over all of my old art and improve them (as ShadowOfHassen did with his in the past) before adding any new ones. Looking back, I could have done a lot better and often missed the point. Regarding the code, there is still the PR I opened last summer: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/6997. It contains only the core parts of the page, but also the most recent version of the code. It is marked as"WIP" right now, which means review progress on it has stopped because there are changes planned it -- the UI changes I talked about above. When I've achieved a UI that I'm happy with I will remove the label again, get it moving and hopefully merged soon. Then there is also the github repo I made a while ago: https://github.com/indoptogopt/GUI-page-for-0ads-encyclopedia The code in it is neither up-to-date with the PR, nor compatible with A27. However, the repo stores all of the articles in the latest state. I'm still unsure what to do with it; in regards to the code, it doesn't provide much value to me, maybe it would be better to make a new repo dedicated to just the articles. TL;DR I won't resume now, but I'll do when the time is ready. As a first step, I ported the encyclopedia demo mod to the A27 release version and as recommended created it with pyrogenesis' archive builder this time. To install it, left-click on the downloaded file -> 'Open With' -> '0 A.D.' encyclopedia.pyromod @Genava55 (This mod's purpose is really just to demonstrate functionality, my goal is to add the that to the game eventually, which is why I will not be putting it on mod.io)

From https://mod.io/g/0ad/m/shiny, a few small changes were required to make this mod work on released a27. I've ported the endgame screens, added some parts to ModernGUI. Would be too bad to let this artwork vanish in archives. All credits to @maroder obviously.
