Archaeological potpourri
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Gurken Khan's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
Can anyone tell me if this find is legit? https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/bronze-age-sword-germany-180982399/ The sword looks suspiciously well-preserved for a 3000 year old piece of bronze. The aesthetics of the sword's design also look too fantasy-ish to me. But maybe I'm being to incredulous. And the arrowheads look suspiciously modern for being made in 1000 BC Germany. -

Git is where the magic happens. SVN = no magic, just stable. -
Civ: Germans (Cimbri, Suebians, Goths)

I'm thinking 2 or so "poles" for the base, then 3 or so heads, and then 2 or 3 props (cattle skull, antlers), and you get a lot of nice variation with only a few models. -
0 A.D's Built-in Encyclopedia
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in General Discussion
I haven't read the whole discussion, but I'll just say this isn't a scholarly work meant to be published in an academic journal. So, citing each statement is completely unnecessary. A list of sources though would be pretty nice. It's more than just about any other video game would bother to do. -

Indeed, the statue is just a placeholder. Someone may be modeling a better, more period appropriate statue for us. -
My skepticism was with the texture pattern, which looks Thracian to me. Not that they wore cloaks at all. Of course, almost every culture has a form of cloak.

Archaeological potpourri
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Gurken Khan's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
What is the point of archaeology if most of your findings are published in an obscure journal only a hundred people will read and then it's all buried "for the future"? So, you find something unique about a wall in Pompeii (it has some kind of interesting material embedded or something), but reinforcing it "for tourists" allows this to be seen by thousands or tens of thousands. You note the peculiarities of the wall in that obscure archaeological journal, where that information would have sat on microfiche for decades anyway, and you reinforce the wall so that the space can be experienced by living breathing human beings. -
Archaeological potpourri

I've never understood why an archaeological site should "never" be fully excavated. What's the point? Hopes that future technology can be less invasive or what? That's really the only real good reason to me. -

Yep! The feature would be useful even without anything else. -

This is nice. Is there a way I can rebase my main branch off of 0ad/0ad? -

This model was problematic (the crenellations are taller than a man; scale is off) and didn't have animated doors, unfortunately. -

Considering it needs player-input, I think you need some time for at least a little maneuvering. -

Most civs don't have fire ships, so what's the natural counter to ramming ships? I put thought into this too. -

I think the general consensus was that is was shite, historically. I have not seen it. -

I tend to agree. Much simpler to just make hack = melee weapons. -
