Yeah that's what I meant, like with the religion feature you could select or create your religion and by accomplishing certain goals you could improve your religions benefits via some sort of skill tree. The reason why I recommend religion as a feature is becuase 0 A.D is striving for realism and religion was a big part of the ancient world, and I think it could make the factions pretty varied.

Hey thanks for the reply guys, I'm doing a computing course in University and part of the module for Core Skills is interacting with the community of an open source project and I had played 0 A.D before so I thought I might as well post about it here. The religion system I was thinking of was a little bit like the Civilization V: God and Kings expansion that lets you name your own religion and then chose a couple of benefits to having that religion like faster construction of buildings or more food from farms, that sort of thing.

Hi there, I have a university assignment where I have to try some open source software and then post on the forums a couple of ideas that I think would help improve that software. I chose 0 AD anyways so here goes: 1. Animation A little feature that I think would improve the game is animations for when your construct buildings. When you chop a tree down it should fall as well. 2. Game play features It would be easier if you could group units like in the total war series, so with the click of a button you could select a whole gang of units. When I was playing the other day I noticed that it took about 10 hits to kill a sheep, it really should only take a couple of hit. A cool feature would be the ability to have units on walls for obvious reasons. A feature that I’d like to see is the ability to build roads like in Civilization, the benefits of roads could be something like double movement speed for units. A trade system where you could trade gold for wood etc. would be pretty cool as well. A campaign with a story would be a lot of fun. A religion feature would be great as well, like choosing or creating a religion and having different benefits with choosing different religions. Thanks for reading anyways and I hope to here from anyone if they have any suggestions
