Well, I don't expect total order in what we call formations. That's why I suggested this feature based on proximity, not actually on activated formations Good to hear.

Yo estoy hasta arriba con mis videos y no puedo prometer nada, pero me ofrezco a doblar todo lo que queráis. Si queréis hacer un tutorial podéis pasarme algo que querráis que lea y os hago la voz en off. Luego lo montáis y asi tenéis narrador para los videos oficiales. En eso no tardo mucho y se me da muy bien.

Thank you all for this fantastic work that has already bested AoE. Keep it up. BTW, I'll continue making this vids. My subs like it and I want spanish people to know about the game. It's my way of supporting the proyect

To the point. Pikes get in the game a good bonus VS cavalry, which is nice an accurate, but it bugs me the fact that VS swordmen they are totally useless. If you have, lets say, 50 pikemen and 30 romans appear on that spot you are totally @#$%ed when, actually, romans found it really difficult to beat those factions that used pikes (Macedon) So... why not implement a pike phalanx feature? Like... if a pikeman has another pikeman right by his side they get a defense protection vs melee attacks. That way they could last long against enemy swordmen and hold them back, until their lines are finally broken. 1 pikeman alone can't do a thing against a roman infantryman, but a good formation of pikes should destroy any enemy while they remain in their phalanx formation. Hoplite phalanx and shield wall: If the feature mentioned before gets implemented it would be nice to also implement some variations. The hoplites are another unit that I find too weak vs enemy swordman. I know swordmen are suposed to beat hoplites, but they should resist a bit longer. If they are next to each other they could get a little melee defense bonus (much lighter bonus than the one for pikes, because pikes are far superior) but also some extra bonus on defense against enemy arrows. On the other hand some swordman units like the ones from the romans or the silver shields could have the shield wall feature, which is basicly the same as the hoplite phalanx, just that with even less melee defense bonus). This way pikes could last longuer against any enemy infantry and, in big groups, beat enemy swordmen, though they would still be weak against arrows and other missiles. And in the mean time, both hoplites and trained swordmen could resist arrows better if they maintain a good formation and would also make all great battles last a big longer. This 3 minifeatures would also help hellenic and roman infantry look more capable against barbarian ones, and at the same time making gauls, indians and iberians more usefull in skirmishes rather than in face to face large combats.

Now that the game is better optimised I'll continue making more and more gameplay, but mostly only in 1 VS 1. Never with more than 4 players. Now the game is pretty much playable and 'lagless' in 1 VS 1', but it needs further optimisation for it to be totally playable with more than 3 players on the map. Please dev team, make this your priority.

I agree By the way. Here you have the last part of my game with the persians

lol I'm glad you liked it. I'll make more videos of this game every new version comes out. I'm specially looking forward to the AI pathing optimisation ir order to have 0 A.D. being totally fluid

When playing a game with one of the greek factions I noticed that I started with some sort of special character, which looked like the hero on Age of EMpires 3. If you remember, you shall know that the hero-explorer from AoE3 was a very interesting feature. He could build a small number of buildings, including the civ. center, and once killed he could be rescued. I wonder if there are any plans concerning this feature. I think it would be a great idea.

Er... you are missing the point fellas. Keep it simple. Do you want my voice in Spanish or English? (By the way, the Spanish example I made had to be a bright and young voice to show enthusiasm towards the public. I can make it deeper and more "epic" like)

here you have a Test I've done now http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?c4fzo1xcguh21h9

I don't have any serious stuff in English, only in Spanish. But trust in me, I talk good English. Here is an example in Spanish:

If you send me your skype I might be able to read for you righ away

Hi there, I do a lot of work in dubs and stuff on Youtube and for some companies. I was taking a look at the Tutorials for 0 A.D. and thought that it would look much nicer if they had a voice reading the subtitles. I can do that easily, so if you want some help with that just leave me a message.

Anybody knows about other indie F2P games with the same creative concept and quality as seen on 0 A.D. ? Of any theme

I think it's too soon to promote the game. Wait till it's finished, or at least until it get a really stable version

lol, he's playing it because he saw my gameplay. Good

Thanks. In fact I'm the voice for the reviews on eGAM3Rs, and have lots of experience on voice acting. I've done voice acting for mods too. It's a shame I'm to bussy now with my own proyects. lol I don't want to spam right here, but just for your curiosity, take a look at this (not, it's comedy, not serious stuff ):

Great to hear

- No minimum firing distance and Melee combat for ranged units. Just like in AoE III, giving them a knife or shortsword to use when their enemy is in contact. This would prevent them from routing constantly trying to shoot from the distance. It's very annoying to go chasing a single archer, or having to move an archer all the time so that he gets in the minimum accepted range - Melee attack for women. Make it @#$% if you want, but at least let them defend theirselve

Great to hear. It's a musthave

I have a very good computer which should perfectly run this game. So it seems 0 A.D. needs to me optimised somehow in order to make it fully playable. I supose you are aware of this already, but... I'll say it anyway So, when a match starts everything goes well, but when the game advances (specially if you have more than 2 factions in the match) 0 A.D. becomes slower. My recording program (which doesn't drop a single frame in other games) detects 3 FPS In this video you can see that the beginning is pretty smooth. However, it looks laggy at the end (and I think it gets worse in the next part)

Glad you liked the video. Cause it's mine. In fact, I was passing by the forum to post it, lol Anyway, Part 2 is already out

When I say desert I don't mean dunes, I mean a place without trees. All plains with all the trees choped down. It was really ugly to see it become that after some hours playing on any of the AoEs...

You didn't get my point. I dont care about running out of material. What I want is being able to find myself in a desert after playing a couple of hours.

To begin with respawning at the initial points in which they already spawned, if no buildings have been built in their place. And this could be expanded yes, with a new code which would spawn trees after other get chopped down, all around the map in land areas. Including next to buildings, but within a certain distance. The code could also see if there is actually a city or town (a group of buildings) and take them as a center from which trees could also spawn but with a greater distance.
