  1. From what you have written, I'm assuming that you know the basic constructs of programming, like variable declaration and assignment, data types, conditional statements and loops. If you don't, read up on those concepts.

    The 2 main programming languages used in 0AD are C++ and JavaScript. JavaScript is easier to learn, so maybe you should start with that one and use tutorials to build small web programs. Once you are comfortable with the language maybe there are some easier tickets you can pick up here to start contributing.

    C++ is harder - find a good tutorial/course and do the exercises.

    And watch people trying to do stuff in vain and lose hope and motivation, like I nearly lost mine last year of ever getting inside the team one day because I wasn't good enough.

    You were not quite good enough yet when you first started posting, but your talent was very obvious to me, and your diligence had you improving very fast! I guess we should have told you that more often.

  3. I would start with engine, misc. gui. mod selector and the lobby, then move over to the unit-related stuff.

    Game Setup Gui is also important, just skip all the quotes and proverbs.

    For the rest, start with the short strings and skip the long explanations for now - you can return to them later.

    Why a military vessel is the first thing that comes up to your mind about a bigger ship? "Long" is also used for small ship in old irish. Probably it is a common word for any longilign vessels like the ones they found in Britain and in Denmark. There is a bigger early Gallo-Roman long ship that could fit in but it is still not a military one.

    I was just thinking for military in-game because they're gibber. Or for the merchant, and use the coracle name for the fishing boat? I have no issue with the word for the merchant anyway - I'm not familiar with the word at all, but then I don't speak ancient languages.

    Probably a loan word from old anglo-saxon Bat/Bad (boot).

    Sounds plausible.

    Maybe something with itro-

    Yep. Combine it with the word for? That would be in the letter p somewhere, since you said that Gallic is p-Celtic.
