In ancient times, banging a hammer against the ground causes mature wheat and barley to swiftly sprout. Prospolemon! In ancient times, valuable ore and precious metals were to be found in big rocks laying on the surface of the ground. In ancient times, when a tree was chopped down for wood it vanished entirely.

Nope, Carthaginians

I like the edge decals, for better terrain transitions

This works. Is there a way to remove Glory from both trading and bartering?

Ideally so that other mods in the future can have the maximum amount of control over any new resources they add to the game, I think the core game should allow the resource files to have flags for "trade": true and "barter": false, "tribute": etc. Basically what you suggested. That's so DE (and other mods) don't have to maintain custom variations of core javascript files.

Added the coin resource to Delenda Est. Lots of changes need to be made (like tech costs and stuff), but it's in. I wish the game had a "coin purse" sound effect (when selecting coin treasures or sending tribute notification). I'll be making Blacksmith techs heavy in metal costs. I'm mulling simplifying techs at the Blacksmith too, but that's an aside. Coin will be used to buy slaves, hire mercenaries, and pay your Champions. You acquire coin through trade/barter, finding coin treasures, and taxing your villagers and merchants. Taxes can be increased or decreased, which also has a slight inverse effect on gathering rates. Right now I do it with tech pairs at the Civic Center, but it would be cool to implement some kind of slider in the far future. I converted the old "Persian" metal treasures to coin treasures, since they represent finished goods, wares, etc. Then made a new "iron weapons" actor to replace the "Persian wares" actors as the metal treasures: Metal treasures have the Anvil portrait now. Pegasus and the Golden Fleece have been converted to Glory treasures now, instead of metal.

Got it working after a lot of fixing of the mod. lol. It's pretty neat. You need Delenda Est as a dependency.

My guess is that Civic Centers are just being randomly assigned their names. Given one can play as Britons on a jungle or desert map...

I'm getting hard crashes, sometimes just cuts to desktop with no error codes. Here's something I'm getting: Assertion failed: "0 && (L"FYI: WARN_IF_FALSE reports that a function failed. Feel free to ignore or suppress this warning.")" Location: wdbg_sym.cpp:91 (InitDbghelp) Call stack: While generating an error report, we encountered a second problem. Please be sure to report both this and the subsequent error messages. errno = 12 (Not enough memory) OS error = 8 (Not enough memory resources are available to process this command.) I have 16 GB of system memory and a GeForce GTX 1060.

Hmm, some kind of antler design on a wooden shield could work nicely for an emblem. Thoughts anyone?

Numerous civil wars, invasions, plagues, economic turmoil, and religious upheaval will do that.

Which part? The packing stuff or my counter-solution?

That's essentially what it would do, but with a UI (which is probs the hard part).

I know the "packing" stuff for nomads is sexy and all, but after experimenting with this a lot in Atlas, I'm starting to think "packing" civs are kind of tedious to use. In DE I'm thinking of just making "nomadic" civs have these features: Buildings half cost, strength, and build time. No territory effects whatsoever Egalitarian units (male and female mix) Looting and Capturing bonuses "Ox Cart" dropsite Cavalry focus

Yeah, I know. But much better for end user to make it an Atlas feature. One can also make a "POG" map where they paste all their cool little scenes, and then keep that open as a second Atlas instance and then copy and paste the little scenes over. But like I said, my "dream" system would probably be a lot better for the standard user (ie, 90% of people). lol

I do this too. What we need is a true POG system (Premade Object Groups). Imagine in Atlas you go into POG mode and it loads a tiny "map" on which you can place objects. Then you save this grouping as a POG that is then added to a new sort in the object menu, which can now be placed in subsequent skirmish or scenario maps as one object (as if you're copying a pasting), or even extended to be placed by random map scripts too.

The topography is perfect as far as I can see. You can even imagine Cesar's siege walls and camps up on the surrounding hills.

Nah, I'm pretty sure they've deduced its location satisfactorily.

The issue is one of gameplay, unfortunately. For gameplay reasons, you need nice wide open gates to allow elephants, siege engines, large numbers of troops, long lines of traders, resource-shuttling citizens, et al. to pass through. It might have even been acknowledged back in the day that gates could be more accurately presented, but the gameplay considerations do remain. It is possible to make double gates and other configurations though with some tweaking of the obstruction code (I made the Triumphal Arch passable under the arch; not exactly a good comparison, just saying I've played around with it a bt).

Groovy. You need to convince WFG to use your standard. Once that's done, then you can make some patches orienting the Greek/Latin in the game to this standard.

I didn't transliterate anything, I simply used the spelling used in hundreds of publications and articles. Whether that's not scholarly enough or that the traditional layman's spelling is wrong in some way, that's up to you to decide. I am not anal about whether a K or a C is used, I just want to make a fun game. I do know it matters to other people though, like yourself, so I don't begrudge that. Just know I can be of no help in this regard and I'm not even 0 A.D.'s designer or even on the official team in any way, so I can make no decisions here. If it was up to me, I'd have a toggle option to turn off <SpecificName> in the tooltips and UI, rendering the discussion irrelevant to me.

nah

This is actually so cool I wish the core game had it.

This is one of my pet peeves as well. In the name of inclusion, the entertainment industry is actually using exclusion. Why make James Bond black when you can be creative and create a new awesome black agent character (maybe even make a cinematic universe out of it where 007 and this new agent frequently cross paths)? Maybe even make him come from South Africa or Liberia somewhere like that so you can include realistic socio-political or historical commentary. You know, a black African who just happens to be as sophisticated as the suave white guy from MI-6. That would be real inclusion. But no... that wouldn't sell in the Chinese market, would it? Why make another goddarn show or movie about Roman Britain (cast with random Middle Eastern and black actors), when you could have a show or film about the Kingdom of Kush? Bring something new to domestic and foreign audiences. Nope, gotta have another Roman show about a lost legion or Boudicca or Gladiators @#&#036;%ing each other.
