Unbelievable. Great job.

Can you create short YouTube films with 0 A.D. footage?

Ooh. That is a good idea. I will ask Brynn if she could do this from now on.

Okay, .

Okay, sounds good. I'll start a playlist on YouTube of the tutorial videos. We should link to that rather than to the whole channel. In the game, I would also like a picture with a "play" button instead of just plain text, I'll make a mockup later today.

That sounds like a good idea. What do we need to do to implement it?

Brynn, thanks for reminding me, please see the task thread for discussion. Me neither, a written manual must exist no matter what, either online or bundled with the game. To be sure, so would I and many other contributors, but we should be realistic and focus on goals that can be accomplished quickly and easily.

The videos are under development, and the other is underway, both by the talented video artist BrynnOfCastlegate.

For beginners, I suggest a chat message pop up upon trading explaining what happened. "You have just traded 100 Food for 90 Wood." This should be easily turned off whenever the user wants to.

Yeah, it's obviously the best option, but videos are a good compromise between that and a simple text-based manual.

Several commenters on YouTube have that we include the tutorial videos we are producing with the downloadable game, making them available for offline viewing, and have them accessible from the main game menu.I think people are much more likely to watch the videos than read a manual. Is this feasible?

Ludo, can you tell us if the review of 0 A.D. in French is favorable?

Probably part of the problems with the server. It should be over in a few hours.

Thanks for the heads up.

I would appreciate help writing brief (~70 words), yet representative and flattering bios for the following civilizations: Britons Gauls Iberians Macedonians Spartans Here are some examples I wrote:

Yay! Good news for de-wiki and for the 0 A.D. community.

Also the Iberian civ seems to have these words in Basque: Suzko Txabalina Maisu Burdina Langileak Harritsu Leku Zaldi Saldoa Any help tracking down what these phrases mean would be much appreciated.

More questions: The Britons have these technologies: Sevili Dusios Ardiosmanae Deas Celtica What do these words mean? Google yields no matches.

In athen.json: "Name":"Long Walls", "History":"The Long Walls of Athens extended 6 kilometers, from the city to the port of Piraeus. This secured the city's sea supply routes and prevented an enemy from starving out the city during a siege.", "Description":"The Athenians can build their stone walls in neutral territory. Construction time for walls is reduced by 50%." I tried building Athenian walls on neutral territory and failed. Is the documentation wrong or has the rule not been implemented yet?

I wouldn't toss the existing 0 A.D. articles, they are often well written. They just need some TLC. Wikipedia articles are free to re-use, and can be used for improving the 0 A.D. history section with the proper attribution.

Good idea. It might be worth migrating the history articles to the Trac wiki for that purpose...

Oh wow. Some json files have so many English grammar mistakes it's not even funny. Fixing them now...

I like your suggestions, SMST. It's a pity the history articles aren't cited. :\

Okay, good idea. Originally, I also wanted to integrate some concept art into that window. I'll improve the text that shows up, which is unrelated to the design.
