Agreed. Obama was a complete disappointment who bought into the national security state apparatus the moment he secured the Democratic nomination. His language started to "moderate" and I started to realize we weren't going to have a good time. He wasn't even subtle about his rhetorical shift. I guess it's "presidential" to adopt the "prevailing wisdom" of Washington. While Obama did a few good things, overall he just carried on carrying on what President Cheney started before him. Oddly enough, it was Centrist Centrist Biden who wanted to do the radical thing and pull out ASAP. I guess he actually had skin in the game (family members in the armed forces) while Obama and most of Congress did not.

Reduced the number of trees again on India. The India tree species have a lot of wood in general, so a reduction in number of trees still gives players more available wood than other biomes.

@maroder What's the link for your patch that adds the ability to determine resource counts in the biome files? I'll add it to the wish list.

Can those folks who had criticisms of the India biome please install the mod and take a look? See if your main issues have been addressed. SVN compatible. https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/0ad_terrains_overhaul If it looks good to you, then I'll move on to addressing some stuff with Nubia.

You gotta read the tooltips, brother.

I suppose you're right, actually.

The bushes are gatherable too.

Yeah, ranged units just don't have the unit AI yet to allow friendly fire to be a general thing. Ranged units would have to be 'smarter' to make it a thing. Though, DE has friendly fire with catapults.

Lol? Why weren't you shooting the defenseless healers?

Go from this To this

Well, I was just throwing together stuff that's already in the game. Otherwise I see a couple of solutions: Create a new set of "small" stone mines and a separate new set of "small" metal mines with an eye to making the sets look distinct. Get rid of sprinkling small mines all over the map in favor of using the larger, easier to distinguish, ones instead, just fewer of them.

Maybe go for something more like this?

Bollocks. Any withdrawal from Afghanistan would have been a "disaster" since the entire country is a disaster. It's been clear for years now that all the U.S. was doing was propping up yet another corrupt unpopular government against a local insurgency. The Afghan government was a complete disaster itself. A completely biased view of the political landscape. "Some people say..." Likely they would prefer Biden to Trump or Dubya. You're right though, Biden is no Obama.

Stone Quarries and Metal Mine Shafts really should be considered (maybe A27). My proposal is elsewhere in the forum.

Yeah, might as well.

Zeugites, the hoplite class of Athens.

I like the way Hyrule: Conquest does it better, as it shows you details of each hero as you select them and then you click a button to choose. I don't have the skills to make anything like that though. Yes, this is intended. You can use your hero at the start to boost your econ or go scouting or any number of things. Yes, I would like to background pause the match until the heroes are chosen, but again I will need help with that. The mod currently is in a lot of flux. Ima wait to worry about translations until it's more stable.

If the bush was an obstacle, the building preview would turn red, as it does for any obstacle.

To make it "feature complete" from a player interface pov, it would be nice if the bush turned red when the player waves the building preview over it, to tell the player it will be destroyed.

Not really, since you can only build in ur own territory and the bush isn’t destroyed until you start construction (simply placing a foundation doesn't destroy the bush).

I've made bushes passable and destructible by buildings. They don't block pathfinding or construction. Used a mixin: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <Entity> <Obstruction> <BlockMovement>false</BlockMovement> <BlockPathfinding>false</BlockPathfinding> <BlockFoundation>false</BlockFoundation> <BlockConstruction>false</BlockConstruction> <DeleteUponConstruction>true</DeleteUponConstruction> </Obstruction> <StatusBars> <HeightOffset>8</HeightOffset> </StatusBars> </Entity> This prevents bushes in your base from blocking you from constructing buildings, which was a huge problem for India and other biomes that heavily use bushes.
