I'm going to post some non-RTS game development videos that are useful for this cause. I've noticed that games before were made to entertain even if they weren't balanced.

The thing is, 0AD is quite a niche game. There aren't many RTS with Romans out there that could add things. Most games die soon despite sales. Check out the highly anticipated DB Sparking Zero. At this point it's dead. Very good focused on the MP. Obviously it's not a RTs but it's very competitive. A game that doesn't want to die must give you content or have a good amount of community that gives you that content. Games live in eternal development. Another factor is replayability. It can become tedious, ordinary and routine.

I found this tonight, watching video game devreviews videos, I remembered the proposal to give rewards after each scenario. It's in Spanish, sorry. The sign says: rewards and victory above. The difficult part would be how to use resources in the next game.

With your permission, I'm going to give my opinion... Playing like this is very bizarre, it seems like a space RTS rather than a historical one. I understand Yekaterina's desire to win. Looking at those graphs gives me a headache and would even make me dizzy.

That's the idea of mercenaries. I don't understand why they still resist that idea.

Normal towers. The whole tower defense system needs a rework with so many changes.

I hadn't noticed. I was thinking of using these videos as inspiration for campaigns. They have all the information and the view of the battle site.

We need to do a rework with the towers. The defenses will be very weak.

This girl acts so well.

That's what we started working on, We've already started on an alpha concept of the narrative campaign.

I can understand that, is like when I wish there was no territory system in 0AD to perform a tower rush. It's exactly the opposite of what I would like to see in 0 AD skirmish maps, I want a villages to be taken in strategic areas of the game.(without building anything, just capturing). You could call it steal villages...

There were some concepts there that I read. I never played AoM Retold, but this building does catch my attention. And why is this concept wrong?

I like the idea of having different types of central buildings, although I prefer that they are evolutions. In AoM this was necessary. We could have village centers as capturable objects.

Later on, ships will have to have that capture component and be like a building with multiple arrows at the same time. Although the capture element will be different from that of land.

It's just that, it's simple, skirmish is no more played, because it has nothing extra to offer, There is no incentive, the only incentive sometimes is to capture neutral buildings, and there are very few types in the game.

Impressive.

@AIEND had already touched this concept on this topic(well, me too).

Olives and olive oil were not only an important component of the ancient Mediterranean diet but also one of the most successful industries in antiquity. Cultivation of the olive spread with Phoenician and Greek colonization from Asia Minor to Iberia and North Africa and fine olive oil became a great trading commodity right through to the Roman period and beyond. The olive also came to have a wider cultural significance, most famously as a branch of peace and as the victor's crown in the ancient Olympic Games. Long-lived and drought-resistant, the tree was a handily low-maintenance form of farming. Olive growers usually planted their trees in amongst fruit trees and reared animals so as to have some income in case of an olive crop failure, and it was an easy way to keep groves grass and weed free. The residue from pressing oil from olives could also be used as feed, especially for pigs. The earliest known presses in Greece come from Olynthos. Several examples have been excavated which used circular millstones to crush the olives. One of the best-preserved olive presses comes from Hellenistic Argilos in northern Greece. As the machine evolved, a winch was added to bring down the beam with greater force. Uses Not only were olives and olive oil an important part of the Mediterranean diet and cooking process (and still are, of course) but the oil produced from pressed olives was also used for many other purposes. Greeks and Romans used it to clean their bodies after exercise – smearing it on so that it collected dirt and sweat and then scraping it off using a metal instrument called a strigil. Olive oil was used as a fuel in terracotta (and more rarely metal) lamps, as an ingredient of perfumes, in religious rituals, for massages, as a multi-purpose lubricant, and even prescribed as a medicine. The Athenians considered the olive tree a gift from their patron goddess Athena, and this very tree grew on the acropolis of the city. They had an entire sacred grove of olive trees (moriae) too, from which oil was pressed and placed into uniquely decorated amphora vases to be given as prizes in the annual Panathenaic festival. Olive branches came to signify peace. Herodotus tells us that in the early 5th century BC Aristagoras of Miletus carried one when he went to negotiate help from Cleomenes during the Ionian Revolt against Persia so that he would not be turned away from the Spartan king. Olive branches were also carried by pilgrims who visited the sacred oracle of Apollo at Delphi. https://www.worldhistory.org/article/947/the-olive-in-the-ancient-mediterranean/

You have to think about coins and wealth and the trade generated from industry.
