When I join an already running game I see the text: Which kinda implies that I had previously been in the game. I don't know if the intention is that this should only appear to players who are named participants in the game, OR if we can just change the translation. Line 366 in gamesetup_mp.js If it just needs a change to the translation to change rejoining to joining please point me at how translations are done and I will have a go myself.

Is it just me, or do these people above have bot-like names?

Maybe it's better to focus on smaller changes first. Like implementing a "special attack" mechanic by giving some units either passive or active special abilities. These are even described on some documentation pages, but they're still not implemented. Perhaps the most famous is the ability of Hastati to throw pila at nearby enemies, before going into melee.

Merged the posts.

@Classic-Burger Please don't spam 4 posts in a row, there is an Edit button. Also, back when forums were the golden grail of internet discussions, that was called post-farming. Another thing, you should calmly collect your thoughts before posting anything. For example, you are constantly calling 0 A.D. a clone of Age of Empires. While that may be true in general part, it's a fact that this game has some unique features not present in Age of Empires. Features like Citizen Soldiers and capturing, Even the lack of a feature can be feature. For example, the lack of clear unit upgrade paths. Once again, as an author of this thread, don't spam post. It looks really bad and it makes me scroll more.

Battalions can be useful if it helps to create features such as directional attack bonuses and formation bonuses.

So it should be a parameter somewhere, in order to make it work for everyone (those who like you want to control finely the repair actions, and those who'd prefer it to be more automatic).

As I said before, formations should just be turned into battalions, with a bit of Warzone 2100 unit grouping added.

What is the point of formations? Or more precisely, what are the motivations behind this wish? It seems to me that the motivations are mostly cosmetic. To give a total war vibe.
