:S Man, you don't get my point, but ok. Before the next noob asks me to make sheeps too, where you can pay more and take longer to get the same trickle as the goats, here you go: [Edit: This is wrong! see later post]

I'm delighted to introduce the newest bot in my series of AI bots, the Protectorate bot. This bot represents a breakthrough in gameplay compared to the previous two, redefining alliance relationships. To play this bot, you need at least two players on the same team, both controlled by Protectorate. The player with the smaller ID will play the role of the "Empire," and the other players will be "vassals" (for example, if players 1, 2, and 3 are on the same team, player 1 will be the Empire, and players 2 and 3 will be the vassals). The Empire will prioritize military strength and trade, while the vassals will prioritize workers and pay 30% of their resources every 60 seconds to the Empire. This payment is waived if the vassal's resources are less than 20% of the Empire's resources and increases to 40% when the Empire launches an attack. The empire would also station troops in vassal states, with the number depending on the actual situation (this only happened when the empire's population exceeded 100). bot_Protectorate_1.zip

No more issue at all here i.e. Arch Linux with package 0ad-0.28.0-2 (reverting to js115 from js128) as @ffm2 wrote yesterday evening (just not specifying the version). ty @Stan` for clarifying the spidermonkey bug that caused the issue. Now back to my issue as I'm lagging behind the game's new speed (efficiency) even on a light setup

I think it would be more interesting if we created AI bots with different mindsets and behaviors instead of just allowing Petra of varying levels to participate in battles. Here's a bot I created based on Petra but with a defensive focus, called Iron Tortoise. It defeats Petra in every battle with its unlimited population and abundant resources. Besides that, I think there should be separate bots with behaviors of nomadic civilizations, maritime civilizations, and possibly more. Everyone is welcome to try them out and give feedback. I'd love to hear your opinions. bot_IronTortoise.zip Note: My goal is to create massive empires when creating these bots. If you want to battle them at maximum power, set up unlimited population and resources in Deathmatch.

Here it is: binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/template_structure_resource_corral.xml ... <ResourceTrickle> <Rates> <food>0</food> </Rates> <Interval>5000</Interval> </ResourceTrickle> ...

lol, I think your right. I thought I did this for some minutes and divided by that time to reduce the error of measuring one small time interval. Needs a revision, but first I'll check the code where the time interval really is handled. Btw. maybe it should be documented XD

This map of mine is quite large, with 768 tiles. I'm currently working on improving the game's performance before moving forward with the project. I've adjusted many things that have greatly improved performance, but there's still a long way to go, haha.

moving_clouds.js

I placed them high above the map just to cast shadows on the ground and reflections in the water.

Yes my friend, I made the clouds using a cloud pattern and texture; this image is just a test. I'll send you the script, no problem.

The Persian's only major eco bonus is their team bonus, which makes production buildings cheaper. Having 220 max pop (and p3 trickle sources) doesn't contribute much to economy growth, just the maximum output after you have completed the exponential curve. I like the idea of letting the ice houses double as a food drop-off point, since that would encourage early game usage. It would allow some wood savings while using stone that might otherwise go to barracks/eco techs.

One could balance differently. Atm. the ice houses are useless. So they are the nerf themself. They are only a distraction. Of course one would first make woman on fields as much as you can first until one resource runs out: population. Here is a detailed analysis of Net Resources over Time when making one corral after the other. Each corral makes cows until 50 cows are reached: [Edit: This is wrong! see later post] Here is a detailed analysis of ice houses when they are produced one after the other. When the last ice house is made, the upgrade is invested: Here they are directly compared: One can see just how much the ice houses pale in comparison. Then the next thing mentioned were the pigs. Here is a detailed analysis of pigs vs cows: Since one could argue that one could go for pigs without going so much in a resource deficit, here is a comparison with setting a limit of -2000. So one would only make cows when the other cows gave a bit resources so this threshold isn't crossed: One can see just how much of a long-term investment the cows are, but you really get something for your money in the end. Meanwhile with the corrals you go into a resource deficit for a bit over 9 minutes and then get a very little trickle. For the pigs i'd say just leave it. Don't waste actions. You'd never slaughter them anyway and replace with the better cow. For a competitive 1v1 I would only go for fields if it isn't a special map. Python file is there if I made a error. AI was used in the making of the script. p_ice_vs_cor.py

Due to the expensive price of the Digital Certification on Windows it's intended. We're currently trying to distribute it on the Windows Store also, which should avoid this.

Athena's owl, the Little Owl (Athene noctua), often doesn't have a specific name in myth but is called Glauca, Glaucus, or Glaux (meaning "gleaming" or "bright-eyed") and symbolizes wisdom, insight, and the city of Athens itself, appearing on ancient coins and associated with her epithet Glaukopis. Species: The specific bird is the (European) Little Owl (Athene noctua), common in Greece. Symbolism: It represents wisdom, vigilance, and the ability to see hidden truths, reflecting Athena's own attributes as goddess of wisdom. Names: It's often referred to as the "Owl of Athena" or "Owl of Minerva" (her Roman counterpart). In Greek, Glaux (or Glauca) refers to the owl and is linked to Athena's "owl-eyed" (glaukopis) epithet. Mythological Connection: Some Roman myths mention a woman, Nyctimene, transformed into an owl by Athena for protection, but this is a later story. Cultural Significance: The owl was a powerful symbol for the city of Athens, appearing on coins and pottery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Voila: My birthday gift to myself this year: My first tattoo. I chose Athena's owl, Glaucus ("bright-eyed").

I think it's fine for the 0 A.D. logo, but a tattoo would give a different context.

Below are some statistics from a 2v2 match with 2 Protectorate bots vs. 2 Petra bots (Team 1 is Protectorate and Team 4 is Petra, unlimited population and average resources).

Something like replay pallas where you can see charts summaries and stuff like that

Hi my friend, everything alright? I made the clouds with Trigger.

Just thought I'd give y'all an update: First off all, the upcoming release will remain on A27. Sorry, but it's either that or wait even longer. Second, the Moblins, Sheikah Cadre, Zora Dominion, and Gohma are almost finished, so you can expect to see all three of them soon. Finally, some new maps and features will be in (sadly no Knockback yet). When they're done, I'll post a link to ModDB and a ton of pics showing them off.

The Caledonians are considered to be part of the Britons. Besides Brochs and Crannogs, there isn't a lot of information. There is a book called Celtic Scotland by Ian Armit. During the period 500 BC - 1 AD ? I don't know much about Pre-Roman Sweden. I don't think I can help you with those.

@Seleucids I know you are busy in the weeks, so I decided to take a look into autociv current issues. Below a version build from what you already fixed with : Fixed autoconfig (the couple comment above should be addressed with this) Fixed overlay Some other details, i also added finished adding some options for custom the overlay (make less stats for example) autociv.zip

This would make them more useful earlier. I like the suggestion.

Don't underestimate the power of testing Releasing is always when you find the worst bugs Also I can help you with tooling like checkrefs to find broken / missing art files.

I'd like to add that this time autociv update was even faster than before. r28 was released this wednesday and we already have compatibily with it

Since mods are maintained by "private" users, who are not necessarily into the details of 0 A.D. development, any missing update to mods (or faulty code, or unclear installation instructions, or whatever can be related to mods) is solely a modder's responsibility. In this sense, I don't think this is something 0 A.D. (as a project) is lacking. I know it can be frustrating not to have our favourite mod promptly installed the same day a new 0 A.D. version is released, but as a user... just be patient, updates will come. I find that 0 A.D. devs are doing a good job to signal the changes that may impact mods from one version to another. Maybe modders (I totally include myself here) should be more alert to release dates. And of course, be clear on installation instructions, care about cross-compatibility with other mods, and other stuff that sometimes is done without precise or established guidelines.

Mauryan rams are the cutest imo. they look so harmless, when their wheels move it feels like a wloden cute toy, it has literally 0 "warlike" assets on it it just looks so harmless like, awwwwww

That is defined in the simulation templates ( http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/ ) F.e. the default attack of the archer is defined to be 6.5 pierce for the moment: http://trac.wildfiregames.com/browser/ps/trunk/binaries/data/mods/public/simulation/templates/template_unit_champion_infantry_archer.xml#L3 Note that templates inherit from each other. So you can define a default value for the generic archer, but define a special value for a special archer unit. To redefine it in your mod, you must just copy the file to your mod, and change the values. Your file will override the version that's used in the game. F.e. in millenium A.D., they altered some resource templates to have other stats: https://github.com/0ADMods/millenniumad/tree/master/simulation/templates (in this case, they changed to colour of those elements on the minimap, which is also a stat).
