Well, I can edit the mod profile but that is as far as it goes I think you need to activate the 'Add and edit articles checkbox' and I would appreciate it if I would be able to post downloads and images/videos

It seems that I can add new mods under scion but not post on the RotE page, is that intended?

Sneak peak

About two weeks left to the deadline: A good time to open a submission topic. You can participate in the contest by posting a zip file here. In this zip the following should be included: All the map files should be included.In case you choose to create a Scenario triggers are required!One screenshot and a 400x300 map preview image. (Reduce the fog if you have many to get a clear overview, please no signature in the preview image) To create a screenshot in Atlas: Zoom / rotate till you have the part at the screen that you want to create a screenshot of, then click Misc hacks in the top bar > screenshot. Check the message for the save location.The map should be either normal or medium sized and should have 2-4 players (depending on the flavour of the designer). The amount of players is not important in case of a trigger-based scenario. We also require to release the map under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license to be able to land in 0 A.D. or in the CoM Mappack. By submitting your map you automatically release it under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 license.Also state whether you created your map with SVN or Alpha 17 to make sure the judges play the map like it was intended. In this topic no posts save submissions are allowed. All other posts are being removed. Instead refer to the following topics: For technical discussion refer to this topic: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19229 For any other question you can ask in this topic: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=19230 (The announcement in the WFG forums) Think of your own creative, original name! Do not name it after the theme!

Two weeks to go!

I can tell you. The latest version is Alpha 17, the lobby isn't available for Alpha 16 anymore. Consider upgrading your 0 A.D. version.

May I ask why you, Lion? I mean, you where retired a while ago...

That can be changed I suppose? I mean, upgrades can be easily added and about obstructing building placement: isn't that the case of every resource? Or is it poor placement of the bushes by the map designer? But you'll be rewarded if you invest some time in finding a good strategy, rather than paying the amount of wood every time it empties. (that's the idea behind it) Think of something like field rotation where 1 field is being gathered and the others regenerate (that would be a possible strategy). Some math (or the charts mod) is needed to calculate/determine the effect of such regeneration concept but in itself it can add some depth to the economy.

I actually got the same idea yesterday and I think it could really work! I think however of using the same approach on farms, with one difference however compared to the indefinite resources (like bushes and fish): the farms do not disappear when they reach 0. Instead the farm regenerates back to full resource capacity (unless you ofc. keep on gathering with a large amount of citizens) but with the option to the player by using a ability that instantly turns the farm to full capacity at the cost of a certain amount of wood (rather than building a new farm, which has the same effect).

They have a separate folder. So you need to look to something like units/new under the actors tab.

I believe you're not very well-informed about Scythe's Balancing Branch (not surprise branch), Qwerty. It has been tested over a couple of months by a couple of skilled players (not me) (but I believe you will find them in the SVN lobby rather than in the A17 lobby). Nonetheless I think it would be a good idea to revive the Design Team (which seems to be rather dead since Michael and Alpha123 left). That team doesn't need to consist of the best players (although competitive player input is a must) around but rather with of the guys with good and clear ideas.

Works here too!

The reason why I never use Dutch on my devices is mostly because I do understand English well enough to read it and the possible occurence of poor translations

I made a quick calculation on what it would mean if you would push the resolution to 1366 x 768: According to http://zaynar.co.uk/0ad-pub/resolutions-20140313.html you would exclude 24.6% of the players as they don't have sufficient horizontal space (<1366). That is really ridiculous! Setting the minumum resolution to 1280x1024 would be even worse as that would exclude resolutions like 1366x768, 1600x900, 1440x900 (and more) also (not enough vertical space: 768<1024 and 900<1024)

You don't get it, 1366x768 is the window without borders. In windowed mode you need to add the borders to the resolution which would mean it wouldn't fit on my screen.

I think the current minimum resolution is good. Increasing it would mean that people with a 1366x768 (including me) can't play the game in windowed mode anymore (as that wouldn't fit on the screen).

Yup, though the exact years are like wolflance said, 476 AD - 962 AD. (Fall of the Western Roman Empire till founding of the Holy Roman Empire)

The repo was created in May this year (and was before included in Aristeia), but it probably needs some sorting out/cleaning to work with a different mod than Aristeia (but I think that is doable)

out of curiosity, Phoenix, what code do you use for conversion? Something like this: https://github.com/0ADMods/convert_attack (not sure if it still works)?

Currently I don't think another indiegogo campaign would make much sense since the money of the old campaign isn't even used yet! (and the license of the game is CC-BY-SA 3.0)

I haven't forgotten nor lost my interest in Millennium A.D. but lacked the time to work actively on it. (I did however some major balance changes). You right that we hadn't posted any updates, this is because we hadn't produced anything worth showable. I will however try to pick up Millennium A.D. as soon as I can

Or even better, install Lubuntu. 512MB RAM is enough to run that distro.

But is the difference between a simple and a spiked collar easily visible at longer ranges?

Alpha 16 or 17?

About Liu Bang: He was born as a farmer's son and led a peasant rebellion, right? That (and some other smaller stuff) gave us actually the idea to train him from the farmstead, give a global farming boost and bonus the attack of basic ranked soldiers nearby him.
