@Classic-Burger I can explain why a sheet with a bunch of ideas doesn’t translate to an equivalent bunch of gameplay changes/features. gameplay changes should fit into the scope and style of 0ad, be compatible with existing features, not introduce unnecessary complication, while enriching gameplay. For example, users may suggest realism features, like capturing wild horses to give the player a 1-time discount on a cavalryman. However, that would conflict with other features, like siege speed, hero HP, as 0ad is not an exhaustive simulation. if every idea we came across was implemented as is, 0ad would be quite a mess, wouldn’t it? One other thing is that these changes require people’s work to get them over the finish line. So arguments for a new feature should either convince a dev to take up the task, or the arguer should try it themselves. And that means you may need to modify or walk back the original idea to get more people in agreement.

Los incas del siglo III d.C., al igual que varias ideas del mod, me hicieron cuestionar ciertas cosas jajaja

What? One battalion of champions would destroy several battalions of CS. Which is why battalions would need to be a togglable feature, similar to grouping in AoE1. Just in a proper formation. You'd select a group of units that is eligible to form a battalion and you'd click on a "Form Battalion" button (or use a hotkey). Now, any time you select one of the units in a battalion, you will select an entire battalion. Similarly, with a battalion selected, you would click on a "Disband Battalion" button to un-group the units. It's simple in theory, but the implementation will be more complex (as will be adding any bonuses to units in a battalion).

Hey everybody! The newest release is out, Version 0.6.0: Aquamentus. This release adds the nomadic Zola civilization, several new maps and GUI tweaks, and two new unit systems: Stealth and Camouflage! Check out the download pages to learn more: https://www.moddb.com/mods/hyrule-conquest-revival/downloads/hyrule-conquest-revival-060 and https://github.com/Perzival123/Hyrule-Conquest-Revival/releases/tag/v0.6.0.

Well, not really. Depends on how precisely we would want to make it. If we use just the existing texture, it looks somehow like this, using only rome_struct.png: But then besides the inscription there is a relief on the front of the pronaos (maybe an eagle with a civic crown), which is missing. Also some of the references you posted have different textures for the walls on the different floors, which aren't existing in the roman texture. Rome_struct.png has only one wall brick texture. I think it would look nice to give each (especially the highest) floor its own texture. The other existing roman texture isn't more useful. How would we include the inscription when using the existing texture? Not at all? Or with a prop? I thought that's bad for performance as well? Anyway, I'm fine with both, just want to have it finished (and committed). Let's see what they say

I've tried my luck with the pantheon and this is what it looks like: I think it's quite ok for the start. It's my first project so it'll probably still have some flaws I'd be happy if some people could give me a feedback, I'll attach the blender files so maybe someone can also give me some technical advices. For everyone who wants to try it in Atlas, you can just copy the folder to your mods folder:) About textures... I think the mesh could have less triangles, maybe dissolve some faces and so on, but what I kind of struggled with are the textures. First I tried it with the texture of the existing pantheon and added a roof of rome_struct.png. Then I was thinking about creating a new texture file just for this building, but my texturing skills are too limited. In the end I ended up using four of the existing textures that I found already in the game. That's why in the end the mesh is sliced up in so weird props:D Anyway, it somehow worked, but still I got some unclean parts of texture on the mesh. The one on the left is the original one, the one the middle new mesh with old texture: So for the future, what would be the best workflow for texturing? First unwrap everything and make a perfect UV map, then paint a texture? Or use an existing texture and scale the UV islands according to it? How important is it to save disk space by using existing textures? Thanks a lot in advance! Pantheon.zip
