I meant this as a guide for those on the forums... But by all means, be a jackass.

[Mod Installer > Creating a Mod file]

It would be good for the team to precisely explain how to do this, then I can update this top post and we can sticky the thread.

I like this one very much. Maybe have his eyes looking at us?

No, each unit alone  in the map. trying to found a good place alone or reach the rest of their comrades.

Call it "Chaos" mode, as opposed to "Nomad" mode. Not bad?

I'd just make it act like a treasure

No more instant giving resources, not really realistic. It’s either delay it or manually. 

 

I once had the idea that you would train a "Tribute Wagon" which basically looks like a beefed up trade cart, you'd send it toward your ally and then their units could "gather" it like a treasure. This seemed a little much micro to me once I thought more critically about it. However, I don't think there's anything to prevent such a thing from being possible in a mod, even with current code.

@feneur What happened to our own LOTR Mod ?

Abandoned due to copyright concerns.

I like it. I feel like it should be included in a whole batch of updated Hellenistic helmets tho, so it doesn't stand out [the other updated helmets don't mesh well with the 'old' helmets]. What do you think? Perhaps a separate thread for this Thracian helmet and other Hellenistic helms.

Yeah it should somewhat be organized.

Yes, a Hellenistic Helmets thread with a list. Graphic here:

 

Thracian Helmets

• T1: Thracian helmet.
• T2: Thracian with ridge.
• T3: Thracian with feathers.
• T4: Thracian with plume.
• T5: Thracian with crest.
• T6: Thracian with crest and feathers.
• T7: Later Thracian with wider brim, longer neck piece, and high crest.
• T8: Early Thracian. 
• T9: Thracian cap.

Hellenistic Pilos variants

• P1: Wide brim, plus cheak pieces
• P2: Adds feathers.

Carthaginian Thracian variants

Thraco-Phrygian Helmets

off-topic: Doesn't that lambda have a wrong rotation?  

The 'shield_arm' prop point needs rotated. Also, the 'shield' prop point could use some minor adjustments too.

[Release process for A23]

My guess would be a fixed skybox.

[Rome Total War II Desert kingdoms]

Don't we have a Scythians topic? 

 

Tomyris would definitely be a hero unit. Regarding "Amazons" I think simply having some units be dual-gendered [like Delenda Est's Citizens and Slaves] would be enough to represent female Scythian warriors. I don't think they should be some separate unit.

If anyone has seen in the 0 A.D news it's either Mercenaries (Crossed over from Delenda Est), or it's the addition of Archery Ranges, Siege Workshops and Stables.

Too late for A23. Some things like these would be more likely for A24.

[Release process for A23]

It's a coitus feature. Calling it now. Very innovation. Much wow.

Watch the way you twist a man's wrist. The range of motion in the wrist is not as great as you depict on the sparabara here:

Make sure to try these kinds of movements with your own body/hands so you can understand what each joint is capable of. The wrist is not capable of the angle you have here.

Nice, now we need the chariot wheels to fall off or something, and the riders to die in an interesting way.

So, I thought the whole point of variant files was that you only had to update, change, or fix the few variant files instead of updating, changing, or fixing a hundred actor files.

I'll try to lower their contrast, do others agree on this too?

For me the colors are okay. Would work even better with battalions.  

[===[COMMITTED]=== Horse Update]

I hope you're not over complicating things. I can't look at the mod atm.

The someone should just reenable it. I made that chariot years ago. It's likely shown on my YouTube channel Rote video

I remember @wolflance and @Ayakashi telling me not too ^^

I just enabled it in DE because of the distinct lack of Han champions in the mod.

And population makes seven; now try displaying all of them on half a 1024 pixel screen

Good thing I am building DE for myself and my 1600px wide screen.  

[===[TASK]=== Celtic Unit Textures]

Yeah in this instance I'd remove the baked specular in the diffuse texture.
