Committed the first draft of the Guptas I need ideas for: 4 heroes and their bonuses Unit references (for textures) Mercenary Unit ideas (at least 3) Unique technologies Civ Bonuses Team Bonus Catafalque

SPEED MISMATCHES with Seleucid Heroes: FIRST ISSUE - Seleucid Elephant Hero (Seleucis I) He moves at 9.0, but he boosts Elephant movement to 10.8, so he can't keep up with the elephants he's boosting. There is still some advantage to having him boost the elephants for local movement, even if he can't keep up, but I think it would be overall better to increase his speed to 10.8. SECOND ISSUE - Seleucid Cav Hero (Antiochus III) This one is more debatable. He moves 18, which is the standard for Hero melee cavalry. However, in 0.28, Seleucid Cataphract speed has been nerfed to only 14.4, and Jav Cav speed is 16.2, which is the fastest cavalry unit of the Seleucids. So the Hero is always outrunning the units he's supposed to be boosting by a ridiculous margin. Historic context: Possible solutions: 1. Do nothing. Keep everything the same. 2. Keep him as a melee cavalry hero, but nerf his movement to 15 or maybe 16.2, matching the jav cav. This would reduce the issue of him outpacing the cav he is commanding, but it might be strange for him to be unique melee cav hero with a slower speed. 3. Instead of giving him "spear cav" speed, create a new category of "cataphract speed" and use this to justify the reduction in speed. 4. (my suggestion) Change him to a jav cav hero, and lower his speed accordingly. While the historic record most strongly suggests that he be a melee cav hero, I think there's enough diversity in his history that you can justify him being a jav cav hero. It would also be cool to have a javelin cavalry hero, as I think he'd be the only one.

Thanks for the replies. For me this bug is more severe. I opened and then subsequently had to kill the process to exit 50 times in a row. In each instance I was not able to successfully start the application without the bar and broken buttons. I then tried the Alt+Enter and it seemed to work. I have tried it 5 times now and each time it worked so far. I guess now that I am aware of this issue I can work around it but in terms of bugs this is a bad one for new users because you are stuck right after starting, can't progress to access any menus and can't even close the application.

looks nice! Would be cool if it plays a @#$%-a-doodle-doo sound when the rooster crowing animation is starting

It happens to me every now and then too, and what I always do is press Alt+Enter twice, which disables and enables full screen again, for me that fixes it and is quicker than restarting the whole game.

I like that suggestion and couldn't believe there isn't already an Issue for that on Gitea—at least, I didn’t get any positive search results.

I wonder if people who use this Counter-Strike mod also come up with those familiar excuses? "Okay, but this is available on the internet and open to everyone. That means it’s not cheating. Go download it yourself." "A lot of other people use it too. Why are you criticizing me? That means you have a personal problem with me." "Aiming is repetitive and unnecessary anyway. I’m actually improving the game. I help new players get used to the game faster." "This isn’t a cheat, it’s a mod." "You can aim with a mouse too, there’s not much difference. In fact, the other day someone killed me just by aiming normally with a mouse."

Chickens now have the highest quality animations in the game

It certainly optimal to have historical accuracy and to be able to seize the opportunity to teach history, however the more important thing is to teach game mechanics. Over the course of the discussion we decided it'd be best to focus mostly on imparting the game mechanics while giving it a touch of history. For the other campaigns they will be 10000000% grounded in history. However, I think it's best for the tutorial to focus on teaching the new player how to play and not having the player have to figure out the mechanics of 0 A.D. while also keeping up with a historical narrative.
