the romans probably took it

Hi guys and girls !!! My name is coming from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Boston_Legal_characters#Alan_Shore I'm writting you from Belgium (near Brussels). Sorry for my english. I'm 71 years old. Benear dead, but that's not really a problem. I had my time I'm playing 0 A.D. about 2 years now, and i love it. I thing that my level is middle. Better than easy. I love also to converse with AI. Voilà, you know me now. My born language is french. So long, perhaps on the network, if I understand how it works.

Offender lobby's name : roothopper My lobby name : LeJardindEpicure roothopper stopped the game without resigning as i turned the tide and wrecked havoc upon its troops. (funny to see you on the other side@b1g1d3a) After double checking, there was in fact, no offense. commands.txt metadata.json

Another bug in R28. Elite Actor missing head.

If there was a way where I could capture Civil Centre then the Civilians I spawn with are with their own building faction equivalent to C&C;TW then it would be quite fun, chaotic and a bit of unfair.

So I guess I'll have to wait for multithreaded support good luck to the devs, I love this project with my whole heart, truly nothing like it

Hi @seregadushka, It is very understandable that you feel that some features of the game in their current state, prevents you from appreciating the game fully. Repetitive tasks, aren't adding anything to the game-play experience. And it is part of the 0.A.D. vision to limit them as possible. "This interactive/real-time contest should challenge the mind and avoid boring repetitive actions." As such, units autonomously carry on after cutting a tree as one of the example you provided, but this is because we can be confident enough that the player would want this to happen. However, production is complex. It depends on a lot of factors, and influence of lot of other things too. For example, there are already problems often stemming from the current auto-queue : If the user need the resources for another purpose, auto-queue might unconviniently consume them Which building should produce if two of them are competing for the same limited resource? How can the actions that we will be carried be as best controllable by the player? Theses challenges, I did face them when trying to make the trainer feature in ModernGUI. Because I was new to programing, to UX design, and even to 0.A.D. the feature is built with a bit of things that I wish to revisit. Mainly, it adds waaaay too much buttons to the UI, and complex ones too. I have in mind a system that will permit to have the QOL gained by this trainer feature, but without the added complexity. Basically, make it feel like it is very naturally integrated. It might be something that will come sometime in ModernGUI, and that I will poll here on the forum for an integration in vanilla. My beliefs are also that we should enrich some other parts of the game-play such as formations, units abilities... Sort that the game become even more of a strategic contest and less then just a measure of 'mechanical skills'.

@seregadushka This queue locking feature that you suggest exist in some mods, called Autoqueue or ProGUI or something. You can ask @Atrik for help on this

I'm not at home for the weekend (father in law 70s birthday ) Let's do another testrun during the week

Hello! Today I’m bringing some more updates about the development of my project World Rising. Over the past few weeks I have been studying animations extensively, and I finally managed to understand much better how they work within the engine. At first I tried to use some of the animals that already exist in the game, but I wasn’t able to adapt them successfully. Because of that, I decided to take a different approach: creating my own animals from scratch, including their skeletons and animations. Those who have been following the project already know that I am currently working on the Japanese flora before moving forward with the civilizations. Now it’s time to start developing the fauna as well. My goal is to create between 10 and 20 animals that represent different regions of the map. Among them, I also plan to include a legendary megafauna creature, inspired by animals that lived between 15,000 and 10,000 years ago. This creature would act as a kind of natural boss, providing a large amount of food when defeated by players. In addition, I have been working hard on improving the game's performance, reworking meshes, textures, and other assets to ensure players have the best possible experience during gameplay. For now, here is an image showing some of the animals I have created so far. They do not have animations yet, but they are already part of the process of building the game's ecosystem.

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

I was just playing an MP match, and my opponent built up close to me, and look at what happened: What caused this???

Please upload replays to replay pallas so everyone can see them

Besides cost effectiveness, you must consider the activation cost. Champs are much more cost effective than citizens but they have such a large initial investment that blocks players out from making them. Fanatics are the champs with a low activation cost, because food and wood are gathered en mass and the 100 each is nothing for a P2 player. You can put 70 units at one forest and station 55 womens to farm, but the metal mines and stone mines allow up to 24 units only @TheCJ raised a good point about viability. Fanatics are only available for Gauls and other civs Dont have effective counters

When there is champion spear cav, the naked fanatics are an effective counter. But now the champion spear cav is banned, the power of the naked fanatics begin to show in TGs. Their problem is speed, damage and decent durability combined together. Although less unbeatable than champion cavs, they have no particular weaknesses and are cheap to make. There are no parallel units for any other civs in phase 2, which makes them OP. In the past, they were truly fragile and costed metal, so they weren't great as late game units / meatshields. But now, it's too easy to spam them and Gauls just got a hypercharged spearman unit that nobody has. This breaks the inter-civ balance. Suggestion: 1. Fanatics cost metal. 2. Fanatics get no shield, or at least are not affected by shield upgrades.

After the nerf of champion cavs, Naked Fanatics will become the next brokenly OP unit. This unit is already highly OP in non-champ-cav TGs; it deals insane damage in P2 and is hard to defend against, then in P3 it can be spammed en mass as a melee + meatshield. Most importantly, they counter the cavs to well. There are already very few infantry units which can beat it in a direct frontal 1v1, then if you factor in the cavalry-matching speed, it makes Gauls too OP. The cause of this situation is that the unit has double the health of a spearman and the same armour. It is also affected by all upgrades, including armour ones, which means it's not naked at all: Suggestion: in order to live up to their name, they should have no armour at all and be unaffected by the armour upgrades. Also the cost might need to be reconsidered. You can't have 200 health and full melee armour and near-cav speed and no weakness against spearman.

The AI logic was historically and it still is one of the bigger performance bottlenecks. This is related, in part, to the fact that most of the game's logic is still single-threaded. Pathfinder got its own thread in alpha 25. Sadly, this means that your "6 hyper-threaded cores" won't help you much. They might even be worse than a standard 2-core PCs of the past. This is because modern hardware design is focused on having many slower CPU cores, while older design retained fewer, but faster CPUs. So, your CPU clock speed is what matters the most, followed by the GPU memory (if you want high details on everything).

Yes. But threads are not processes and ideally we can multi process all those pathfinders instead of threading them. Thread still leaves them ok the same core Also could the simulation updates on each entity be done in parallel? That would also mean a mega performance boost
