Solutions that all can be implement:
- "Spies" or "Treason" tech. Cost 100 metal for every enemy unit (can be disabled with trigger). Reveals vision of enemy units.
- Capturing female citizens. This would make the end-game much quicker.
- AI realizes when it is time to resign. Asks for mercy and player can choose yes or no. Yes, ends game with player victory. No, game continues so player can hunt down rest of enemy units if she wants to. Just like in Age of Mytholoogy.

the only thing that I'm not sure is about show breats
Can make an install option: All Age and Mature. 0 A.d. could have this too (All Age disable blood, nudity,etc.)

Top left women good ref fopr priestess or maybe hero queen type of units. Bottom middle looks more practical for female citizen.

I have seen that video already. That guy makes a lot of errors in his videos (for instant: he says hoplites fought with spears underhand, and could only fight with spears underhand, which is wrong; he even demonstrate and he makes fundamental error) and a lot of assumptions. He says road is for driving animals, but why this particular road? he never say why he just wants to make a half-point. I would say that because this road does not have a fence, it is not use for driving animals; instead of assuming that the movie is dumb because all roads obvious use for drive animals so all road shoud have fence (lol). Why is the wheat not taller than Mr. Gladiator? Maybe because it is not fully grown, would he ever stop to ponder explanations? Only thing he says that is 100% right is about the middle of the road that should be trod by draught animal.

Thanks Lion we will talk on PM. Giotto I send you link.
Some other things I have recently added:
- Farmland, still work in progress (and it is a hack). Takes time to add to all skirmish maps. Can test it out easily on Sandbox-Romans map and in a match on Greek Acropolis and Siwa Oasis. Build farm field on farmland terrain to get 2x gather rate. Civic Center and Temple have a farming penalty aura too "Civic Spaces".
- City Walls aura around civic center: Walls get 2x health if built within aura of civic center, are much weaker when not in aura.
- Build wooden defense towers in village phase and upgrade them to stone tower in town phase.
- Upgade Roman army camp to a civic center in Imperial Phase - Colonia Romanorum.
- Upgrade Ptolemy and Selucids military colonies to civic centers in Imperial Phase - Katoikia (ptol), Tetrapolis (sele).
Since particle is now fixed, I might experiment with sand storm reducing vision range and attack range of unit. I might also make an experiment with Celts and Iberians getting battle bonus within trees.

I see that when unit create it spawn at 'front' of building at the edge of footprint. When unit garrison in same building is walks to the obstruction. Wonder why there is a difference here. I noticed this because I gave temple an aura texture (using the footprint size code and selectable code) and the healers spawned wayyy out at edge of the aura (because I made footprint big to make aura graphic the right size). Then when healer go to garrison in Temple is walk right up to temple and garrison inside. Discrepency in behavior?

Doublecheck what mods you have loaded. It does save it in the folder of the lowest mod (in the activated mods list)
oh my word, yopu are correct. Thank you. Map was getting put into a music mod I had enable.
EDIT: I now see many more maps I had forgotten about!

I edit Sandbox - Romans with some new stuff. Save map. I see that the map does not show up new in not my Delenda_Esta mod folder and not the Public folder either. They are old versions. Also, map does not show in my GitHub client. I open Atlas and open the same map and I see my changes have saved somehow! Is map cached somewhere? I close Atlas again and open again and open map and see the map is showing all my changes. I look in maps/scenario folders and see the map has not changed its date modify. Problem with Atlas and or problem with Windows?

Ancient farms would not be sown on an industrial scale like this, making them more stand-alone is probably the best option.
While not the size of a modern farm, even ancient farms were large, especially when compare to a house or even barrack. Some farms employ hundred of slaves.

See I think the farms are just fine. I like the terrain conform because not all farmland is flat (especially in Mediterranean!). Flattening the terrain beneath them makes like like any other building, when farms are not ebven a building. yes, the prop can be randomized more but that is simple actor changes and some new prop meshes and texture.

I think sticking a ton of props together isn't a practical or efficient solution (I don't like it on our farms either).
What is your solution for farm?

I would suppose you added an aura with 0 radius on the texture?
Basically, can use gaia objects that give grain gather bonus aura to "enemies" who are, you guess it, all the players. This works as advertise, but is a hack and is not as good as the real proposal in ticket I linked because you have to add them into each map where you want the farmland, where if the real proposal is added all the designer need to do is paint the texture.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><Entity> <Auras> <Farmland> <Type>range</Type> <Radius>60</Radius> <Affects>Gatherer</Affects> <AffectedPlayers>Enemy</AffectedPlayers> <Modifications> <ResourceGatherer.Rates.food..grain> <Multiply>1.25</Multiply> </ResourceGatherer.Rates.food..grain> </Modifications> <AuraName>"Farmland" Aura</AuraName> <AuraDescription>Gatherers +25% Food Gather Rate within 60 meters.

I do not like it as permanent solution, but it works very good for a hack and mod.

There should be "shuttle speed" that is same for all infantry as they carry resource back to drop base. Wheelbarrow can improve this speed.

Can be done with auras. It wouldn't be just like sim city, but a more city builder type of mod can be done easily*.
*Lots and lots of 3D models and animations neeed though.

What do you mean by "farmlands", Not farms, surely? We already have those.
Farmland texture on terrain give bonus to farming. http://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/1318

With hack I have implement farmlands.
Before I reveal how, can anyone give idea of how it could have been done with current code and no extra programing?

Dust storms and clouds disappear and reappear when zoom out. I liked clouds in old alpha, it make the game world feel alive and give a nice visual mood, but is broke for 1 or 2 alphas.

I have been to scared that I would break one of my installs of AoE2 to give RaW a try.
Why would anyone want to buy something when they can basically obtain similar results with unofficial patches? Which makes AoE2 HD come across as little more than a cash grab.
Some people would want official patches. Not everyone is modder.
-
And that exactly results into a fragmented community...
The community who has gotten 1000s of hours of entertainment from the franchise could pay the 20 dollar and stay unfragmented.
-
I suppose a lot of people had somehow access to legal copies. AOE2 had a few redistributions with gold editions (I bought one of these). And if anything I think people would pirate the HD version since it is ridiculous to ask 20 bucks for something that userpatches also brought (with the exception of some retexturing en steam support).
20 bucks is not a lot of money for an adult to pay to support the deveopment of a game that they have spent probably 1000s of hours playing. If you already have the game, then don't buy it. Some people didn;'t have the game, so they buy it.
-
Do you have legit copy or did you pirate AOE2? For most people aoe2 was unavailable with legal means. aoe2 hd brought aoe2 back to a new generation of player. Steam support was also nice addition. "fragmenting" an online "community" of software pirates is not within Valve's concern.

LOL, Such pointless existence!
Who are you? lol. My point is, there are many conflicting opinion on this board (and a lot of suggestion are downright bad). Hopefully designer can parse and make a balanced game once all the features are done.

Though some inaccuracies can't be fixed due to gameplay reasons. F.e. the Celts should have sloped walls, not straight, but those sloped walls would take so much ground that it leaves no space to build other stuff.
Not all celt wall were "sloped".
ps: hellpo doctor

can we at least have the null formation as default? T.T
Or at least a toggle in options, having to set everything to null is annoying. Makes multi training military units a pain (instant form up, get stuck, do the formation dance on a tree!)
No, please no. Do not listen to this. The solution is to fix the movement behavior. Instead of endless fixing balance of an unfinished game the team should be fixing and tweak behavior like unit and group movement and adding all the promised missing feature. The instinct is to throw out the difficuult things, instead of making them great. This game have too much greatness in its potential for small vision.

Yes, I know, but we have to make allowances. You suggest that unit in game should disappear in wheat field because we make wheat is historically accurate?
