Isn't the team bonus also applied to the player? So researching the tec would just be a waste of 1000 res?
Yeah, we should come up with a solution to this. @Genava55 any thoughts?

What software did you use for upscaling?
Upscaled these (without passing through imagine.art first):
(Ramming Ships, coming soon!):
-
imagine.art to get a 768x768 AI enhance version, which I then upscaled to 1024x1024 on a random website to see if it was possible: https://www.iloveimg.com/upscale-image
EDIT: I actually used the helmet from the original image superimposed on the imagine.art output image. The helmet in-game was more accurate than what the AI rendered.

I was able to upscale the original 256x256 unit portrait.

The last report from SPI is here: https://www.spi-inc.org/treasurer/reports/202311/#index23h4
We are rich!
I didn't realize SPI had so many projects under its wing. While 0ad doesn't have the most in its treasury, it's one of the top projects in the list. Debian has $600,000+ cash on hand, while some projects are in the negative.

Oh that's cool!
@vladislavbelov You think this is the direction to go to add an orthographic option?

Confirmed. @phosit Might be missing a couple javascript files for your Flood map changes.

If I remember well, swordmen used to be faster than spearmen, and skiritais were given swords to reflect their more-mobile role of ekdromoi. but I could be confused.
Not a bad assumption. My belief is it's because the civ already had a spearman, but no swordsman, so the Ekdromos being a swordsman filled the role.

Still iterating and improving things. I was thinking that you could see all of the stats if you hover over the unit portrait, either in a large tooltip, or the portrait swaps out and you see the stats.

War Over the Heavenly Horses

1 hour ago, ShadowOfHassen said:We decided that this text really doesn't have a place with any of the units, but because @Vantha put the work in, we decided to add it in an unused file in the base part of the encyclopedia repository.
This could definitely go into the Encyclopedia under the "Historical Background" section of wars and battles.
For instance, here's an article graphic for a potential "Battle of the Hydaspes" encyclopedia article:

If the distance from the camera is too far, details like shadows are no longer drawn.
You just have to enable the whole map option for the shadows.
The main problem with the narrow FOV/far zoom approach is that sound effects are now no longer the correct volume. The emitters are "far away", so that there needs to be a custom sound schema for such an approach.

You probably have to contribute knowing that your work can be used and remixed at-will.

If 0 A.D. has excess funds, why not? It would be good to have illustrations for the encyclopedia, (maybe even get the Open source person who does Pepper and Carrot?) Contracting some programmers also wouldn't hurt, anything.
WFG is very conservative with its funds. Mostly warranted. The funds have to last as long as the project does and the last fundraiser was... a challenge. But there is an excess of funds, yes, and I'd like to see a portion of that go toward some art commissions.
3 minutes ago, ShadowOfHassen said:Slightly off-topic, but how much funds does 0 A.D. have exactly?
I believe there is a yearly report done on this.

I appreciate that. I'm not a fan of AI anything. (That is AI large models, not conventional AI)
Still, the art does look pretty good.
I have long hoped and advocated for WFG to commission an artist for Hero/Unit portraits, but nothing has been done.

Did you make the portaits yourself?

The base game (Empires Ascendant; aka EA) versions of the graphics would not include AI art.

I thought it was clear enough; but since the ptols don't have another way of research maybe cut the word "Structures"?
Right, I made a local edit to say:
"All Technologies −15% resource costs and research time."

Technology.
It could be reworded a little bit better though.

I really enjoyed making this one:
You can see @Freagarach's Gaia emblem there.
BTW: The "Statistics" area will list the basic stats for the unit, similar to my "Template Viewer" mockup.
I think the in-game Template Viewer could remove the "History" section and instead have a button to open the Game Library article. Save a little room on the Template Viewer.

Civ: Seleucids
in Delenda Est
Posted
I suggest a prop_penis empty and then we can use a fig leaf prop actor for the "Empires Ascendant" version.
