Try the latest Subversion and see if the water problem persists. I think it was fixed a while ago. (or git https://github.com/0ad/0ad.git)

Islam and christianity didn't even EXIST in the time frame this game takes place. This game won't be a success based on how much it's a copy of Age of kings. That won't render it different enough for people to play.

Hover over the sword and shield and it will tell you stats.

My peasants foolishly walk on foot instead of astride ponies. All my beginning citizenry were male. I shall abdicate! Like that? A big list of the old aok ones here.

Maybe also being able to cycle between all the different unit types? (I.e you click on the button, it selects all females, then all rhodian slingers - working on that resource) That way if you want a 100% female food production service you can always just look north and take them all off. :3

If it would save my life from a big honkin javelin to the back?! Yes!

Which makes persians, gauls, britons, iberians.... etc... very sad. Because they don't get any of that. ram city for those guys. ;/

can we pull the argument of fun><>Balance><>fun elsewhere? and like - oh i don't know, talk about the balance branch and stuff? Yes? thank you. Okay, my thoughts on the latest change (gather capacities) It's great. Really, it's great. Though it's not great for the reasons you might expect. On the outside it looks like a nerf but in reality to the good planner, it's a huge buff. Less early-mid game resource micro! Resources just Roll in! Sure, in smaller numbers than before, but much -- much faster! Now if you'll excuse me, I have to RECOMPILE again because something broke. Scythe, i think you rolled back to the version where Gauls/britons work. :/

First: Pontus wasn't a successor state - it was a persian satrapy which adopted some seleucid/macedonian ideas - we already have persia, and we already have the seleucids+macedonians, having a middle ground would be pointless, yes? Second: We don't really want or need those, rhodes for example, had very minimal impact on the world.... and we have too many greeks as it is. If ever there would be another greek city state - it would be thebes. Armenia? Hm. Not sure. We're not trying to be rome total war here. Most of the factions had a SIGNIFICANT IMPACT on the shape of the world, crete, pontus, armenia.. they didn't really do much in the way of special stuff. Macedonia conquered the known world, athens fought the persians for several hundred years, spartans are spartans, persians were an empire, romans romanised the world... see where i'm going with this? And silver shield legionaries ARE in the Seleucid roster, but they aren't actually silver shield. they're called Romanized infantry (i think) - Go to a fortress and research "reformed army" which should give you Kataphraktoi and the romanized infantry. On a side note, if you feel these factions are really really important, you can always start a mod yourself. Vive le open source.

What, and the bombard cannon was just a fly swatter? Poor bombard cannon.

Don’t expect much though, it gets' laggy for most people around about the 400 mark, and if you are gauls/britons/persians and someone is turtling? Give up, it's going to take hours to get through them walls. Rams are shoddy.

I'll just go into a corner and feel silly then.

Will be a pleasure! Thanks for possibly bringing several thousand helpers/fans to 0ad! (love your content btw)

I would rather not. Having spies balance themselves is actually MUCH easier in the long run than balancing around them.

They actually used oars when they needed a little extra UMPH (running away from a bigger ship, for example) Oars are omnipurpose, Sails ONLY work when there is wind, and if the wind is going in the wrong direction? Tough.

Tutorials are Coming soonTM We had to set up something called Triggers for scenarios, from what i've heard... we have them now? (can't find them)Which was basically the requirement for a tutorial make stuff do stuff when you do stuff, See where I’m going with this? I hope so, I don't. Also, suggest you try to get the Balance branch, or SVN Because in 3/4 weeks time.. thats what you will be playing.

HUZZAH!

Simple: put it in, and put in an option to turn it off. Who knows, some people might actually load slow enough to justify it's existence.

That new civ centre definately looks significantly more han-esque. Wow. And yay, i can build farms without tearing my eyeballs out! I hope we don’t have to plant rice with stone any more?

Nothing. NOTHING. beats himilcar baraq's ability. Lightning speed! (makes you tons of money with land trade too )

Or. A lord of the rings mod. *sigh* I think there was enough hints.

Definitely looks like helms deep. Like I said before, we need a few uruk models.

Hahaha no i was going to report they were slow at first when i was using the balancing branch. Nah i tried it on SVN, everything is still turtlish. All the walk times anyway. running times seems.. faster than everyone else?

Some balance things I’ve noticed. Chinese buildings take 1.5x longer to build, but cost the same and don't give any adverse benefits? (i.e double the health or effect eg pop?) Their units are darned turtles. suggest setting their speed in line with all other civs.

As he said, some of the smaller variants are particularly spaceless. "fixing the obstruction" would affect all variants, yes? Thereby making a weird walk-through-partofbuilding effect.
