I wanted to make a mod where the teams have a different line style. I spectate a lot, but never toggle team colors as it is clumsy and one has to untoggle soon enough anyway. I tried different line styles like dashed, dots and diamond. I think only the default + dashed works really well enough in my short tests. But in 99% of the games its just 2 teams anyway. Would be nice to just join a game and tell at first glance where the fronts are. The problem is art/textures/misc/territory_border.png is loaded in source/simulation2/components/CCmpTerritoryManager.cpp. So it's fixed in c++ code. I don't want to build a custom version. Would it make sense to move the path out in the future to be modifiable? How you like different line styles for teams?

Welcome to a new community activity! The idea is simple: rate the reputation of the player who posted just before you, out of 100. This is all about perception. How well-known are they? Are they respected? Feared? Gameplay style? Loved? Or do they blend into the background like a stealthy NPC? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How to Play: Give a score out of 100 to the player post above you. Not more. Add a short/medium comment or reasoning (funny, honest, vague, savage — just keep it respectful). Then post your message so the next person can rate you. You don’t need to really know the person. First impressions matter too! Let it be known that all here are wise and of sound mind, so no drama shall arise within this forum. However, should any dispute occur, may it be settled in Mainland. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- How much would you rate me?

Hi everyone, I am happy to present a 5-part campaign titled "Macedonia: Rise to Power"! The campaign covers the times of Philip II and ends shortly before Alexander the Great gains control of the kingdom. Some screen shots are included later in this post. The scenario files for A23 can be found here:; https://github.com/SciGuy42/Macedonia_0ad For A25, conversion is still underway. The first 5 missions have been converted and can be found on the a25 branch of the github: https://github.com/SciGuy42/Macedonia_0ad/tree/a25 To install, you must download all files from the maps/scenarios/ folder in the repository and place them in the /maps/scenarios folder where your custom scenarios built with atlas are saved at by default. On Linux, this should be at /home/<user>/.local/share/0ad/mods/user/maps/scenarios. Note that for A25, you also have to put the Trigger.js file from the repository into your custom mod folder. Most of the scenarios rely heavily on scripts so make sure to also download the .js files which also go in the maps/scenarios folder containing your scenarios. The scenarios feature more or less typical build and conquer mission, as well as sieges and battles without much building involved. Make sure to read the text in the description of each mission before you play it. Often, there are intelligence reports that can be quite useful. In many cases, there are multiple ways to approach the mission strategically. The AI should be set to Petra, I recommend Medium or Hard difficulty with Balanced option. It's totally fine to play it on easier difficulties as well, especially on the first try. Hope you enjoy! I am definitely looking for feedback -- there may certainly be some bugs or inconsistencies or issues -- please make note and post! I am looking to do a round of updates in about 2 weeks but need to take a break now. If my wife hears the opening music of the game one more time, I'm in trouble UPDATE Nov 2021: - The campaign is now complete with 45 missions, starting with Phillip's rise to power and ending with Alexander's death. Conversion to a25 from a23 is currently underway. UPDATE Oct 2 2020: - Added Missions 16 and 17, covering Alexander's conquest of Tyre. Also made small changes to some scenarios based on feedback from the users. UPDATE July 27 2020: - Added Missions 11-15 covering Alexander's conquest of Asia Minor UPDATE June 19 2020: - fixed some of the winning conditions bugs that were reported - added support for difficulty levels -- switching the AI between Medium, Hard, and Very Hard will now often result in effects beyond gather rate (e.g., more troops garrisoned in enemy towers, better starting teach for enemy, etc.) - Enemy units that spawn and attack now usually march in formation - Added wall towers to fortified cities and settlements I will shortly be posting the next set of five missions. Thanks for all the comments and private messages. And here are some screen shots: UPDATE June 25 2020: Added the next set of 5 missions, comprising Alexander's Balkan Campaign. Features a naval map, new scripts and triggers, and another siege. Enjoy! Some screenshots (minor spoilers): Some screen shots from missions 11-15: Shots from 16 and 17, the conquest of Tyre:

This unit has been removed from the Britons due to a lack of historical accuracy. No zweihander.

That's the idea and I think we can even go a bit deeper than simple embassies, as Duileoga made a few good designs:

84 score Reasoning: 0ad anthropologist

Think of it like this: They are too important to chop wood and mine metal or stone. Their experience is much more valued in battle, so they are sent to battle more often by their superiors. Hence, lower gather rates to compensate for this historical truth. And since they spend more time on the field, doing repairs and building army camps, their build speed remains constant.

90 score Reasoning is 665 out of 666, so just a tiny bit below diabolical.

66 Reasoning: 314/478

I noticed this too checking the commands per second for the auto clicker on the oddity mod. Would be better. Another thing is resignation at pause. Sometimes players get frustrated e.g. on a long pause to wait for one player of a game that is decided already and resign during pause and leave. The others then wait maybe even more for both to join and if they eventually continue only then find out one actually resigned. Currently saved&loaded, rejoined or late joined games are not stored consistently (maybe to save bandwith at the start). Would be better to have the complete game, e.g. load it if the connection is over a certain quality check or at pause. But it's a huge improvement that specs rarely cause lag.

I love capturing as much infrastructure as possible. I even have an elite force to garrison those structures (my "tower guys", eight elite spearmen with a dedicated ctrl group.) For towers it helps consolidate your conquests and can also help eliminating roaming stragglers, saving you from searching for them. Barracks let me fill up my inf should I loose some, temples just because (and should I need a healing pause), and in most games (depending on the civ I RNGed) I use captured stables to ever increase my cav champs.

I've seen a lot of people asking if the creators of 0.a.d have an official Discord. We all know the answer is currently no, so I decided to make an unofficial one. I made it mostly for people who like to make mods, 3D models, art, etc., and to meet more people who like strategy games in general. I'll leave the link for anyone who's interested. https://discord.gg/v4yHMRaQUv

I've experienced this as host. Max Lag for observer set to -1 on my case. Didn't test kicking observers. I've experienced this with at least 3 different hosts that often hosts games, including me as host. Idk, will ask next time I'm not sure but I think it happens with both versions. Currently using 0.27.1 but i'm not sure if everyone is using it

@Moderators: Would it be possible to split this thread?

Give Iberians "embassy" like structures, that will train Lusitanian and Celtiberian units. A good reason to make them more unique.

Actually, building onto that first idea, if the game can now get delayed, it might also be cool to be able to pause the replay just for yourself when spectating. And when there is now a multiplayer game reload, couldn't the game just make an auto-save every minute (or less) and then let you rewind to those points? And then perhaps there could also be the feature to skip your delay a reload to the most recent state. So a lot like a YouTube live-stream. If these features aren't planned, they sound to me like something fun to vibe code into a mod. What do you think?

But it has to be consistent and coherent with other civilizations. Too often, there's the immature temptation to want to put everything in every new civ, and this quickly becomes absurd and unbalanced. The Kushites underwent a similar development. I think it is something to keep for a later version of the Germans. Currently, it is based on the Cimbri. When there will be the later Germans, we could add the Cherusci pikemen. But in the meantime, let's focus on the Cimbri.

I don't think there was a specific troop wearing wolf skin and wolf head. Tacitus, Cassius Dio and Caesar don't mention it. The only place with a depiction of a sort of warriors wearing such items is on the Trajan column, but it is unclear if those are Germans or not. Those men are Roman auxiliaries in full armor, while the actual Germans fighting in front of them with their native weapons are bareheaded. Furthermore the current design is focusing on the Cimbri and pre-roman period. The berserkir/ulfhednar is mostly attested during the viking and post-viking period, in the Norse mythology and Norse laws. And nothing suggest they were a specific battle unit. So for the moment, leave them aside.

Macedonia 45 - Nightmare (323 BC) Alexander is in trouble. His skin is burning up, head is raging with internal fire and strife. As he lay dying, in his mind there is one final battle to be fought. The landscape is desolate, covered in fire and ash. The sea is red and full of blood. All his enemies have gathered against him -- from the Spartan rebels, to the city of Tyre, and all the way to India. His only allies are the people who greeted him like a living God -- the land of Egypt. Will he prevail? Only you will find out. AI Settings: Player 8 (Doom Guard) should be set to Sandbox. For the rest of the players use a difficulty of your choice. For casual game play, set your Ally to Hard or Very Hard and your Enemies to a combination of Easy and Medium difficulties. You can also gift units to your ally. Simply move them to the little palisade pen and they will switch ownership. Your ally may also gift units to you as well.
