@Vantha found out, that the Germans are the last Civilization lacking of Specific names for the three Phases (#4667). Community historians, do you have tips or pull requests on hand?

I was recently calculating whats a better investment for food trickle, a ice house or a farmstead and cows garrisoned. ICE HOUSE (Limit: 5) Base building: Cost: 100 stone, 100 wood Build time: 60 s Trickle: 1 food / 2 s (0.5 food/s) Aqueduct upgrade: Cost: 300 stone, 300 wood Research: 40 s Trickle: 2 food / 2 s (1.0 food/s) 5 ICE HOUSES (max): 5 × (100 stone + 100 wood) = 500 stone, 500 wood 1 × (300 stone + 300 wood) = 300 stone, 300 wood Total resources: 1600 Total trickle: 5 food/s Cost per 1 food/s: 1600 / 5 = 320 resources CORRAL + COWS (Limit: 50 cows) Corral: Cost: 100 wood Build time: 50 s Capacity: 8 cows Cows: Cost: 150 food Produce: 60 s Trickle: 3 food / 3 s (1.0 food/s) 7 CORRALS + 50 COWS (max cows): 7 × 100 wood = 700 wood 50 × 150 food = 7500 food Total resources: 8200 Total trickle: 50 food/s Cost per 1 food/s: 8200 / 50 = 164 resources Summary: Ice House: 320 resources per 1 food/s Corral + Cows: 164 resources per 1 food/s Corrals win by far. I think the ice houses should be better considering they are a civ specialty.

Where's haimaz, Johnny?

@Perzival12soon in R29 there will be https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8724 with examples, I know it is needed, because @The Undying Nephalim mentioned it many times in his videos about some factions.

Yeah, it helps to remember why one banned him in the first place.

Haimaz, Wihsa, Burgz Haimaz for home, hamlet, village. Wihsa for village or settlement in general. Burgz for town, stronghold.

For a potential "Capture the Wonder" victory, or even to just add some cool buildings to the map editor, a list of world "wonders" could be appropriate. This thread can serve as discussion and as a place to link various tasks. Possible Wonders Hanging Gardens of Babylon COMPLETED The Persian civ's wonder replaced with the Apadana of Darius Mausoleum of Halicarnassus COMPLETED Already in-game as an Atlas-only structure Stonehenge COMPLETED Already in-game as an Atlas-only structure The Great Pyramids of Giza As they would have looked in the year 1 B.C. 3 large pyramids That there are 3 could perhaps add a different dynamic to the game mode Capture all 3? Capture 2 out of 3? Capture only 1? Task Thread Statue of Zeus at Olympia Task Thread Temple of Artemis at Ephesus Task Thread Colossus of Rhodes COMPLETED Task Thread Lighthouse of Alexandria This would double as a "Wonder of the World" and as a Ptolemaic wonder Task Thread Athena Parthenos Task Thread Athena Promachus Task Thread Pantheon of Agrippa Task Thread Flavian Amphitheater, aka "The Colosseum" This would double as a "Wonder of the World" and as an Imperial Romans wonder Task Thread Circus Maximus Task Thread Ishtar Gates of Babylon Task Thread The Great Sphinx at Giza As it would have looked in 1 B.C. Task Thread Second Temple (of Jerusalem) Task Thread Temple of Bel Task Thread Wikipedia Colossus of Nero Task Thread Wikipedia

I am not involved with the team, so this is me talking out of my backside. I believe it makes no sense to push for Steam until the game gets a decent single player campaign and fixes lag in the late game (it's getting there).

Colossus of Rhodes complete, by @nifa

Athenian ranged infantry

I upscaled the sphynx which is already in the game. Could use some more geometry. The beard is missing and the head is too big compared to the body. Apart from that it already looks nice The texture doesn't seem as pixelated as expected.
