Beat in 25:32... Your tactics are sound Mythos =) Just a note, adding archers into town centres makes them deadly =)

Hey all, I'm back =) I've been on vacation to the east coast (Canada) for 10 days, and since then, my internet went down, and we just got it fixed today =) Mrjeremister =)

The units disregard orders- especially when being trailed is because who in their right sense would go right into the clasp of people trying to kill it? - Like think, If you were (x) and was chasing you... and you want the unit to get to (z), (x) would want to take the farthest way from curving into as possible. However, I agree it is terribly annoying- but it's basically telling your troops to take another sword slash and lose another 50 health before you can come to safety. -It can be reversed by a nice ambush, however. =) The people are so intent on following (x) that they don't notice that their being killed =)

Keep in mind- training 50 Spartans = 2500 Food, 3750 Wood, 1250 Metal- Whereas I could train 75 Hoplites and 16 Archers for- 3750 Food, 2500 Wood, 1200 Metal So 91 Average Troops vs. 50 Super Troops? In Rome Total War, I would choose Super Troops, but in 0 AD, numerical superiority is better- and hoplites have economic abilities to...

Hrm. Weird... Whenever I click it, it still doesn't run carthaginian units... Do I have to download SVN version first?

And sorry to bother you guys again.... But after you download things from Public SVN- (Carthaginian Units/Buildings) What do you have to do to incorporate them into the game? I've already put all of them in the "Templates/Units (Or) Structures" Folder and the /Art/Actors/Units (or) Structures But I can't seem to find them in Atlas or in-game

Will there just be a release of new Carthaginian Soldiers/Buildings in Alpha 7, or will it be the WHOLE entire civ? And judging by the quickness between the Iberian and Carthaginian Civilization- 2 Alphas, does that mean Persia will be ready in Alpha 9 (or 8)?

Thanks ^^ And how does the XMB File work?

Running System: Windows 7 I can't find my maps in the folder I saved them- /mods/public/public/maps/scenarios... I was going to turn it into a .zip and share it online... but yeah... I went to Atlas, and unchecked it on "Hidden" but it still will not show up... Help please? Thanks...

Good point- but if you supplied the people with troops, such as in - The Massacre at Delphi, you could easily destroy the opponent... It would be nice if instead of "Training Mercenaries- something like the AoE "Home City" Sending mercenaries would be nice- but then the whole Carthaginian army would be there. It's like the Carthagnians in the Punic Wars ^^ The Mercenary wars, where Rome supposedly "Helped" Carthage, but ended up taking Sardinia

^^ Good for rushing in the beginning. Get your troops to build a barracks- and just spam these archers and hit the enemy... Too easy of a game?

Finished the Iberians- http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14926&st=6

I'm okay with FDL or CC-BY-SA. It doesn't really matter to me. @Mythos- sorry =( I started making the guide in word during the last phase of Alpha 5- so.. =S

Sorry, I'm out =( I'm on Vacation from the 23rd to the 2nd of August =(

I'm not done my Iberian Profile yet, so it'll be a little until I get it done =)

Perhaps lets work together? http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14926

Hello! I'm mrjeremister =) I've played many games like this- Age of Empires Series, Total War Series, etc. I found this game and was highly intrigued by the development progress. =) I can offer advice and my opinion, but sorry to say, I'm no good in technical programming and artistic development... However, feel free to comment/question/opnion on my 0 AD Strategy guide at: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14926 Thanks, Mrjeremister

This is a guide for those who have not yet played 0 AD (or other similar games) yet, or are not familiar with the game + how to beat the enemy. Table of Contents: 1.0 Civilization Overviews and Strategies to Employ 2.0 Hellenes 3.0 Celtic Tribes 4.0 Iberian Tribes 1.1 Civilizations: Hellenes- - Best infantry- slow and immobile though... Spartiates are great =) - Navy is Average - Buildings cost more wood Celts -Cheap Infantry- easy to mass - Navy is horrible - Buildings are less durable Iberians -Average Troops -Horrible Navy -Buildings have strong Defense Romans -2nd Best Infantry -2nd Best Navy -Has not been implemented in game yet. Carthaginians -Average Troops -Best Navy -Has not been implemented yet Persians -Best Horsemen + Archers - weaker infantry -Average Navy -Has not been implemented yet 1.2 Healing: Station your troops in Buildings to heal faster - this is especially good for keeping your elite + advanced units alive if they have suffered damage. -Healers have no functions yet- but once they do, they can heal your troops - build them at your temple. There are basically 3 Different ways you can beat the AI (1v1)... (For those familiar with AoE, this is not a surprise) Rushing - Early Attack Booming - Saving up troops, strong defenses, one MASSIVE attack Turtling - Very Strong Defense, and turns to Boomer when you waste all of your opponents troops in their attack. Alternative Ways may be: Tower Rush - Use Outposts to block off your opponent's mines/resources Ambush - Hit + Run, then Kill with hidden soldiers 1.3 Rushing- At the beginning, set the troops you have to make a barracks, and the rest of the female-citizens (Depends on how many) to Wood, Metal and Food. After, set the troops you begin with (Citizen Soldiers) to begin making a barracks. Once your barracks is complete, spam whatever you can, whenever you can. Just make early 10-12 troops and hit the opponent. Hopefully, if your quick, you may be able to catch your opponent unaware. When you attack, aim for the buildings that matter- Civ Center, Fortress, Hero Trainer, Special Units Trainer, Barracks and demolish them. If this fails, make sure you ruin his economy- killing his female-citizens and getting away. Then change to the Boomer or Turtling Strategies. Set your troops to "Violent" mode in order to kill whenever, and whatever. -- Suits Celts the best, as they have cheap infrastructure and troops, and can be made easily. 1.4 Booming- At the beginning, focus on a better economy, and make enough female citizens to have a total of 15 female-citizens in the beginning. Iberians should have - 4 to food, 3 to wood, 4 to metal, 3 to stone Hellenes should have 4 to food, 5 to wood, 3 to metal and 2 to stone Celts should have - 5 to food, 4 to wood, 4 to metal and 2 to stone After, just spam citizen soldiers and make fortresses, hero buildings and special unit buildings... Basically make as many troops as possible and keep on making more. Make sure you have a good defense though - Outposts/City Wall Towers with 2-5 people stationed in them would be a nice defense. After you have 50+ troops, send some troops 10-20 to go and harass enemy economy- killing female citizens, destroying farms, etc. Once you start losing troops, just keep on spamming troops to fill their spots. Once you've got 100+ Troops, launch your big BOOM. And hit them hard. Get the buildings that can produce troops first, then the outposts that are guarding their city. However, still keep on making troops, as you never know if he had launched a sudden counterattack on you from another position while you were still marching to his city. Booming is almost suicidal if you are playing a game with more than 2 people though, as once your troops leave your city, you are prone to attacks from others. Suited best for- Hellenes (Strong Military, but expensive and hard to get) 1.5 Turtling- This is basically a defense game, and when the circumstances are right, become a boomer. At the beginning, start out with making your economy strong- wood, food, metal and stone would all be welcome. Make a couple of houses, and keep spamming female citizens out of them. Also, make whatever units you can from your civ center and make them work as well. If you are hit by a rush, you can select all of them - (clicking on one of the type and clicking it 3 times will give you all that type of a troop) and work as a defensive core. After your economy is pretty strongly entrenched, send your soldiers to build walls that will block off key points where the enemy could attack - secret shallow crossing bridges, etc and leave one route open. At that route... leave the bulk of your forces to play defense, while the others are still building up buildings. Keep your troops on the "Stand Ground" Stance and just let them stay there, waiting for the enemy. However, if there is another alternate route, leave that open, and send 20-30 men to guard it... After, just keep on spamming troops to help build up your defenses, and make your defenses STRONG- multiple outposts and city towers/walls. When the time is right- when he sends his main forces to engage yours, send your 20-30 men in the secret route and hit his city. Aim for his Troops building Buildings first, then his farms/houses then finally anything else-temples/markets, etc. Also, keep on making reinforcements in your Fortresses/Barracks/Civ Center and reinforce your main force as it loses ground to your opponents force. -- Best used by Iberians - Good Defense, Troops are all right. 1.6 Tower Rush- In the beginning, send out your horseman- if you don't get one in the beginning, make one in Civ Center... and find the enemy base. When you do, bring the Citizen Soldiers you were provided with in the beginning, and build 3-5 outposts- depending on how much wood and soldiers you are given in the beginning... Build the outposts in positions, such as beside resource mines, the barracks, or city hall. This way, you weaken his economy by making his female citizens pay. (Make sure you garrison 1-2 soldiers in every outpost, or it won't work) However, at your base, make sure your female citizens are making a steady stream of supplies. Make more troops, and keep them on resource gathering as well. After a while, you should have enough resources to make 50-60 men. After this, just Boom your opponent, as he can't have many troops- you killed his economy, and you'll just destroy him easily. -- Best suited for Celts and Hellenes- their Outposts cost less. 1.7 Ambush- Make enough female citizens until you have 10, then set then to Food: 3, Wood 3, Stone 1 and Metal 3 This way- the resources needed to make soldiers will be at large- with the exception of "Karsken - Iberian Slinger" However, just keep popping up houses and outposts. And keep on making soldiers, until you have 50-60 - more would be better, but for an ambush, it has to be earlier in the game, before he masses up huge amounts of troops. Send a party of 10 into enemy territory, and do just enough to get the AI chasing you. At the time this is happening, march the other 40-50 troops just outside of your city. When the AI is chasing the 10, get them back to the city ASAP, but the AI will follow you, so it walks straight into the path of your 40-50 soldiers on "Aggressive" Stance. You kill all his troops- and just raid his city with your survivors, however, keep on making troops, you never know when or if he has a massive army into the Fog of War. This works with Multiplayer as well- Maybe in the early stages, your opponent is attempting a rush, and what you can do is rush him as well... Wait for his troops to exit his city, then just hit his city before it has a chance to get built up. Or if your opponent is booming another player, you can just boom him while he's booming another player. So- Rushs, Booming and Turtling are almost guaranteed suicide in Multiplayer if you are facing opponents with experience - and can see through the fog of war. Best for Hellenes or Celts - the Hellenes have the strongest troops - imagine an army of spartiates... and the Celts can mass their armies very easily.
