out of historical time of the mod

Videogame industry should unionize

In reality, Skiritai have spears, and fought as runners (ekodromos) but also could do a phalanx

As you know, I've been almost unactive in this forum, mainly because it has been like, darn, 10 years, now I have not so much time to play, now I have money to buy games, and the gameplay didn't come as expected. BTW, you have www.projectceleste.com to play the dead and revived AoE Online. their quest are very grindy with not really scenario trigger design, but still fun. The thing of this post, after the things that I wrote before, are also to explain some great points that I really like are: - Very Unique civs, with very different mechanics - Very fast Age I, resource and training times and unit speeds

Is not the pathfinding, is the new defensive stance + attack move

This is photoshop, or it's already implemented and working?

I think it's better to say that devs have talked about it, but IRC there's been no much work on it.

Mount Carmel, not mounted camels

Sorry If I didnt explain myself, I was pointing that it would be cool to have different breast sizes for all female units.

Would be cool also different breast bodies for all female units

Now that I seen that slingers use a spread factor, that opens new gameplay design possibilities if formations are well implemented. What are the current formation implementation? grouping/ungrouping is supported? Stats formation modificacions are supported?

I dont remember a particular one, but Borg patch was an intersting change in gameplay. I wanted to retake the multiplayer, but seems that the process of implementing its stalled. I'm happy with whataever the devs have after 2 years of work

I was very vague. What I mean it's that maybe there will be more devs or devs with more time now that there's a lot of people staying at home, but for sure there will be a lot of people that would play tha game. Also releasing a new Alpha would be thanked by a lot of people in those stranges times. I mean, 0 pressure for you, because you're doing a great work and lately I've seen that you are adding nice new features that aren't specifically for 0 a.d but for the engine (and modders will thank) ¡, like building sockets and status effects. IDK if there's like a long special feature waiting for be finished, or a release blocker that can't be solved, or you are just waiting for an huge step to go to the Beta, but I was just pointint that: more free time for people means that maybe a lot would be happy for a new alpha.

IDK about the devs, but there will be a lot of people with more time. It has been also like 2 years, maybe it's a good present with all tje things that are happening now.

Well, I would differentiate between having a low budget and working with an old engine (aoe 1 DE), having and old engine, but more budget and will to support (aoe 2 DE), and stoping the budget at the middle of the developement and sell and unfinished buggy mess with not a half of the promised features (Warcraft Reforged, AoE HD, AoM HD...)

Well, I'm not very fond the over-criticism that sometimes you show here, @Lion.Kanzen, but this time Blizzard-Activision have screwed all way down hard. Poor Warcraft....

People doesn't go to mine with armour and helmets

Just showing randomly to say that would be cool that the engine could support both armour calculation designs (not at the same time). But maybe is a hella work (classical AoE armour and exponential levels)

In the original DD this was planned IRC. I think for Spartans

Didn't Garamantes seemed more singular? (Chariots)

At last, the last units that were placeholders: judean slingers are commited? With arab javelineers and variations for nabatean camel archers, the entire roster should be done

=/= es un igual tachado, o sea, no igual. Differentiating every tribe on the broader cultures that we have now doesn't have sense, when more diverse civs or with unique gameplay elements could be added (Germans, Scytians, Han, some desert North Africa civ, an Arabian one..) but devs have said that there won't be adding more civs. But my point is to make proper Iberians without mixed celts or Lusitianian features. to avoid this common misrepresentation, all the guerrilla warfare should be kicked (and maybe given to Britons) because was a Lusitianian thing, while Iberians have a phalanx style warfare, supported by light cav (there was a topic on that in the forum). The master elite slinger cliche also seems that should go with balearic units (not Iberians)

Lusitanian =/= Iberians

- When is the aim of the release: with a beta status, finished product, or it will be some alpha? - What about the gameplay design. It's very different from 0 a.d? There's a redesign? - Engine features highlights - Fork A.D is the final name? seems nice as a project name, but not very attractive from a general public pov.
