    I personnaly wouldn't mind having something like what @Shiyn proposed ^^ I think it looks gorgeous though it might be considered not historically accurate to depict the period.

    I think the layout is key. Then the aesthetics can be built around that. It would be nice to assign aesthetics on a civ-by-civ basis.

  2. How hard would it be to allow the player to dynamically* place the main GUI elements where they wish? Probably a complete GUI rewrite, I fear?

     

    *Maybe not 100% dynamic, but perhaps to provide many options for placement. Probably night and day between the two as far as coding.

    My small modding team has begun a fork of this mod that aims more for hardcore realism and lots of fun content and civs.

    Interesting. fyi, I'm keeping the DE mod up to date, I'm just not going to do any alpha releases until Beta. What kind of additions/changes for realism are you planning on making? What other civs are you thinking of adding? :)

    "So, we noticed Empires Apart falling apart. A real pity, but not to worry. Just come on over to wildfiregames and apply your skills to 0AD instead. Help give birth to the real dream-RTS that Empires Apart wanted to be. Also, forget about money. Or fame. Or crappy textures."  

    I'm not a programmer myself, but it's possible the extent of their skills remains in tooling around in Unity or Unreal or whatever off-the-shelf engine they used.

    We had planned to do lots of context sensitive commands that appeared around objects that we're clicked to minimize the mouse cursor travel all over the screen.  It was annoying at 1024x768... I can't get imagine what it's like in 4k.

    Yep, similar to Battle for Middle Earth II. My favorite UI-style so far.

    I mean it's basically saying "Empires Apart is a bad AoE clone because it's far too close." While in here, "0 A.D. is a bad AoE clone because it's going too far astray... to the point of you don't know how it should be played."

    Hmm, the difference being that Empires Apart is claimed by their developer to be a completed game. WFG does not claim 0 A.D. to be a completed game. :)  I wouldn't buy 0 A.D. in its current state, but like I said, WFG doesn't pretend they have a complete game on their hands, while the Empires Apart devs do. lol

    The shadows are still sharp, but they look dramatically more realistic in terms of creating the impression of distance.

    Those do look awesome and more realistic. Thank you for clarifying. Your earlier screenshots did not convey this effect effectively, but these create a nice affect. Maybe I think it blurs slightly too much, but I'm nitpicking at this point. ;)

  8. But... I like sharp shadows... at least for a "sunny" scene.

    "Soft" shadows indicate a lot of ambient light, such as during a cloudy day. It would be great to be able to adjust this, maybe with a slider, so that a cloudy/rainy scene can have really fuzzy shadows, while a "high noon" desert scene can have sharper shadows.

    Justinian or Belisarius. because the golden age of Byzantine Empire.

    For some reason, I imagine these guys as "The Last Romans", like they were the final hurrah of the ancient world before we can definitely say "now we're in the middle ages." But that's just my own bias. I'd think Heraclius is a definite though.

    • game build and version name

    Should this one be necessary? Probably best to just keep it in the main menu, and maybe elsewhere in some menu item [perhaps with the screenshot overlay too], but I don't think it's necessary to be a part of the in-game UI.

    @stanislas69 we can have this as minifaction in Terra Magna?

    Probably should abandon the "minifaction" concept, since the Xiongnu ended up just being a full faction. lol 

     

    But yeah, along with Scythians and Thracians, I consider the Nabataeans one of the best candidates to either include in a mod or the main game.
