I love 0AD's basegame maps, dont get me wrong, but some of them look a little dated. This is where Map Remakes comes into play. This mod remakes the Base 0AD maps to fit right into the modern era! At the moment, four maps are complete- Mediterranean Coves, Gallic Fields, Gambia River and Two Seas (This map is rather scuffed from the begining, so there is a good chance that I will give it a complete overhaul at some point) Features of the remake(s) - Grass, New flora and fauna, and in general, more detail (The performance impact isn't much however) Also, if you notice any floating grass, this is an game bug and not something I can fix map-remakes.zip

It's great seeing your progress-I wish you a good portion of endurance! Personally I never crossed the border to modding, only a bit towards development.

Because when 0ad was designed that was the trend and that was the last of the series with some setting in ancient times. Also some of the artists were AoM heaven modders.

No man... Spear cav are better than them. Everyone calls everything OP. Also marines are better than fanatics. Not fanatics vs cav, but in general. 9 marines beat 10 fanatics. +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Attribute | Marines | Fanatic | +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Cost | 60 Food, 40 Wood, 60 Metal | 120 Food, 100 Wood | | Total Cost | 160 resources | 220 resources | | Train Time | 15 seconds | 15 seconds | +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Attack | 16 Hack | 10 Hack, 8.5 Pierce | | Interval | 0.75 seconds | 1 second | | DPS | 21.33 Hack/sec | 10 Hack/sec, 8.5 Pierce/sec | +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Health | 200 | 200 | | Resistance | 3 Hack, 5 Pierce, 20 Crush | 3 Hack, 2 Pierce, 20 Crush | +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ | Speed | 11.4 | 13.3 | +-------------+----------------------------+-----------------------------+ + Athens have Hippo in p2 in combination +slingers that can rank up from the back This is ok imo, since athen have no champ cav at all. The play style in the community is very conservative and a bit uncreative. Meow came along and showed everyone how good elephant archer can be when utilized right. Stockfish rolled over other players with 30 rams. My point is not that any one of these is OP, but that a lot of units can be very good.

I fixed the flare button by copy-pasting from your file. I didn't include all the panels because they are disproportionally larger on my laptop screen than your 2nd screenshot. While after giving it some thought a larger clickable surface would likely speed up your clicking and reduce errors this doesn't really solve the scaling issue. Your 2nd minimap doesn't look so much bigger than the standard one at all. Maybe the whole mod is built on a fallacy of modernGUI and it's derivate 0ad Better UI A26 being too large on my screen (I have 150% GUI scale in addition) so by copying it from there I would get a larger version; but I encountered at least one person using the mod already saying the vanilla version is too small. I updated it on mod.io but I don't think there is any work left to be done on it. I'm not really the author anyway I just copy-paste what other people wrote who copy-pasted themselves lol. But as you said @Atrik there might be a nice of players who find easily clickable symbols useful. You might just ask the original author to update it with your good-looking version or create a new separate A27 mod with it.

I proudly present my first game modification I've replaced the weird Hellenic infantry spearman portrait (found here) with a more aesthetically pleasing one (just a previous icon, really): Here is how it looks in-game: Now, let's see if I can replace that ugly old Barracks portrait. And maybe fix some bugs by backporting code to this version. EDIT: I've replaced the icons for both Barracks and the Roman Army Camp. Alpha 9 used Fortress portrait as a placeholder for the camp. EDIT2: Persian Barracks and stable portraits also backported. It's already much nicer to look at.

Due to janky animations, it is hardly noticeable. Units either die too quickly or are practically immune to attacks. Some balance changes need to be made to make it work as intended. For example, units died to siege very fast. That's why I made organic units almost invulnerable to crush attacks, as they are in recent alphas.

Greetings my fellow gamers! I've decided to embark on a completely different kind of game development and I'd like to use this thread to share my progress, get feedback, take criticism, and share ideas! I'm going to develop a tabletop game based on the Greek gods, heroes, and monsters! This is going to be a huge project that will put to the test all of my creative abilities, whether it's designing characters, creating playing cards, creating map layouts (which can then be printed into large sheets for tabletop use), deciding gameplay rules, writing character bios, laying out a rule book (and have it printed) you name it. Over time, if anyone wants to contribute, then that will be very welcomed (and contributors added to the final credits). For now, I'm just putting a lot of pieces together and deciding how I want to tackle it. First things first: I've already acquired 20+ character pieces (!) and they will be arriving to my house piecemeal over the coming days. They range in height from 8.26 cm (3.25") to 9.65 cm (3.80") and will be played on a table approximately 1.33 m (4') x 1.83 m (6'). (Above: Some of the 'God' class of characters) There are God characters and there are Men and Monsters as well. For the sake of gameplay and character variety, demi-gods such as Hercules will be considered part of the Men category and figures such as Pan will be considered Monster class. (Above: Some 'Monster' class characters) (Above: Some 'Men' class characters) Some of the Gods, such as Athena, Dionysus, Atlas, and Asclepius, could have features that make them 'Friends to Man' for cool team combos: (Above: 'Friends to Man' characters) And one could imagine Gods such as Poseidon, who sired several monstrous offspring in myth, to be 'Friends to Monsters' for more team combos. Other ideas include making Hermes the fastest traveling character in the game. Leonidas could have the ability to summon a squad of Spartans to his aid. Both Leonidas and Alexander could have a special relationship with Apollo and Hercules as they are descended from both characters. The idea is to create rules for 2 players and up to 6 players. Each character has its own stats and abilities. The idea also is to create an extensive deck of cards that players can pick from and affect gameplay. This is a huge project and I expect it'll take years to complete and lots of my own money (such as getting maps and cards printed). That's okay, because I need a new obsession. lol

It will be presented later, in a separate thread. Yes. Gameplay will be different. Core part of it will be the lack of phases, as they don't really make sense to me in 0 A.D. The timeline is fixed, and the city development can be balanced differently. One example is with structure costs. Higher tier buildings will require much more resources to build. Most will have build limits, as well. We'll see, I'll post details when most of it is ready.

And what about the gameplay? Are you going to use the counter system from the old alphas? I mean gsm play from the latest alphas + balances from alphas 10-23.

If you are going to update the maps, then make sure to use the newest terrain biomes.

AN RX 550?? IN THIS ECONOMY? you're rich

Yes and no, It can give new players bad shackles with advice that is situational. Who will change these tips when the balance team decides to remake pikemen into tank unit? It is better for the player to discover his own strengths and weaknesses by instinct (reading statistics) and experience. ---- To determine the opponent's improvement progress and avoid memes (which are only identifiable by experienced players), we could consider a system of colors. stacked? Or a color system, for example, bronze, silver, and gold (this easily resonates with people). Tech 0: Grayed Tech 1: Bronze Tech 2: Silver Tech 3: Gold Tech 4 (Iberian and Maurya): Diamond To satisfy everyone, we have two display options accessible via a button: the arcade button with the bare minimum of vital information and the detailed button with the full list (stats and future idea like counter kill etc) example just for bronze color, but keep the design of 0AD of course

The old 0 A.D. start screen/menu (alpha 6 Fortuna).

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.
