The images uploaded are in Imageshack. I guess they were not visible anymore but I got one month free and put them here via Imgur.
I don't play 0AD anymore so I don't remember if there was a possibility of capturing buildings. If there was, the romans could seize those ports to seize the island. Without this the scenario seems to me nearly impossible.
If there is capturing mode, I'd reconsider continuing it maybe.

Am I the only one that follows up closely FeXor's work?
I think this is work will create the biggest change to RTS style of games ever.
At last realistic terrain is coming!

Many of you don't really understand about what Starcraft 2 is about.
The story is just an excuse to create a Sport. A mental sport, like chess. Pros go like to 350 actions per minute, and they can multitask up to maybe 7 different things in one minute, especially zergs, (larva inject, expand creep, upgrade, create and administrate bases and drones, making and most importantly Moving units, spy, check the mini-map, etc.)
You can't compare this RTS to the others. Not on races, artwork, etc..
I personally rediscovered the concept of SPEED with SC2. Not knowing the keyboard shortcuts is out of the question. And that's all what is about.
When you play with the outstanding smoothness, incredible pathfinding, impressive micro potential playing games like AoE2 turns out to be like 'clumsy'.

Here is another link of interest:

Ok
If I go professional, which won't happen in the near future, and fully produce pieces I'll show up again here.

Hi, I'm a very amateurish composer, and almost devote no time to music, but I use program Sibelius 6 First, and I thought that I could share some melodies I made in hopes that you use them if you like them, to convert them into orchestral pieces.
Also, one question: If I were to go with music onto a more time dedicated and professional way, which program do you recommend?

This is severely cool

Hi, I'll just jump right in without knowing what are you talking about exactly right now, but I wanted to show this:

Yes, in Railroad Tycoon 3, though it is not an RTS.
In that game, there are two steps to making a new map:
1: In the little screen that appears when you put the disk on the computer which normally says: Play, Uninstall, Readme, FAQ, etc. There is a button called something like World Editor. If you click there, there is a little program with a map of the world, blank, and super accurate in therms of landform. You click and drag the zone which you want to make the scenario, and it is saved.
2: After, in the inside of the game, you go to the proper world editor and start putting rivers, cities, etc.
Some screenshots of the Amazing and Wonderful game here:

You could use this system to implement scenarios in the game...

Why don't we make farms much bigger? There is no need so to change stats neither from corrals nor farms:
Making farms much more bigger, they would be more difficult to defend, add realism to the game, simulating farming zones, and adding a new Strategic component to the game. This could shift the metagame to get the corrals more useful, as they are much more easier to defend...
-
I see that this has so much potential and would make the game a Different RTS, from all the others produced in, like, history. Kind of a new level. Realistic terrain could really push up the quality, be what makes 0AD stand out and amaze newcomers, when they see screenshots.
I think that if this kind of terrain script, after it has been worked on, must implicate that maps have to be much larger.
One can think subconsciously that, given the map size and terrain erosion idea, buildings would be like 1km2 large, and screw up this feature in some parts of the map, basically, the ones where the cities are, because when you put a building the ground goes flat.

This is a map with kinda terrain erosion feature, worked with Atlas, which I could continue to make.

I just went to resources data mods public maps scenarios -> Map 1.xml , map 1.pmp .
Ok it seems that went I put these two files away from the game folder and put them in the desktop they go from 2,6MB and 608KB down to 442 KB both. Strange.

What could be something allowed not .pmp?
-
I don't think I'll continue this, that's why I'll post an image of the progress with some indications and the map files.
The forum doesn't let me post the .pmp file
EDIT: .xml and .pmp are in a compression file in page 3 post 7

Actually there is an RTS ancient game called Celtic Kings from Heamimont Games which had two expansions that were only sold I think in Spain and Italy, becasue the distributor 'FX Interactive' focuses nearly only on those countries'. Here Celtic Kings and its sequels are called Imperivm 1 2 and 3. The games and that distributor are very famous here and present in all the stores.
The point is that this RTS game had a developed hungry system. There is a hunger cap 20/20 that slowly decreases if units are not in cities forts or towns or don't have a mule besides them and their life goes down to 5-10%.

Actually this game has another wonderful idea:
It doesn't have a small minimap on the bottom of the screen. Instead, you just press SPACEBAR and the map appears in all the screen. It was VERY useful and could and should be implemented here.
EDIT: Actually it has other original concepts: buildings are not made, just captured. There is a hero who can gather up to 50 units. I don't remember population cap. You move the hero, all the units move. Very nice pathifing.
ALSO: Artwork from there is a thing that you be inspired from.

This is a nice and simple to implement difficulty...That said, we all would play on difficult xD

Maybe also...

As the Alphas are coming to an end...

Or maybe roads that are automatically built and only change the texture of the map, but don't give any benefits, like Empires, Dawn of the Modern World.
In this game, each time you build a building, a road links to the network

Oh I see ok, I'll just continue with it

I need to finish this:
Celts:
Entrance castle, actually made it but: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=16474
The Island
Romans:
Their ubercamp
I think it should need testing cause maybe i put so many roman units the celts don't stand a chance, or viceversa and I don't have any clue.
About pathfinding, I assured to nearly (there are some seeecret paths) all the mountains were impassable so that should help.
Also, after I put the attachments here I'll let you modify the map as you want, respecting the 'core history' logically
BTW, I heard that for Alpha 11 there are going to be celt new building textures, if that is true, I could wait for it being released

A bug a land often on on Atlas pressing command+wasd (on a mac) and the camera goes to the direction I pressed without stopping. On those cases i saved, quitted, and restarted
So now for something completely different (scenario)
in Scenario Design/Map making
Posted
Could this be made into a scenario now that Alpha 17 will permit it?
With texts, objectives and so.
