    Dont know his name now, but is the only cav hero, that says in fortres he reduces 50% of the cost of the temples upgrades but dont work when u make him

    I checked for 0ad alpha23beta:

    - There is the healer hero and the chariot hero whose aura affects some cost.

    - For the chariot hero: temples cost and built time are reduced, temples tech cost and research time are reduced.

    - For the healer hero: tech cost and research time are reduced when the hero is garrisoned in the building producing that tech. (The tooltip is not really clear.)

    EDIT: I meant actually checked and tested.

    I feel lately there have been some work on new features rather than polishing or solving bugs, and that's nice.

    While I agree with you on the meaning, most of the work which is needed in that kind of project is not noticeable. On a open source project, the code mess is visible so you can't hide it and just produce something that 'works' at time t. ;-)

    edit: sum up, the issue is to "get the balance right".

  13. Grids and Pathfinding

    If the if the footprint is JS, does this mean there is another overlayed system for range determination, and path finding just deals with unit navigation? For example, when an archer has a range of twelve, and fires an arrow at another unit at range ten, does that mean ten path finding tiles or is there another system governing attack ranges?

    1) what @(-_-) said

    2) attack range has several meanings depending of the part of the code which use it... and most of the time it's not exactly what you expected an attack range is :-)

    I tried to contact them via the IRC but they never answered back.

    Can you please revert this statement.

    I provide you answers in PM.

    You and/or your mate connect to irc. We answered the questions you asked us.

    I am very disappointed.

    @fatherbushido Do you guys want your own subforum ? or are you putting together yours

    I don't request a subforum about special units, it's just a topic about that without any other purpose to speak of that in a generic way ;)

    It seems the post above was posted in the wrong topic, am I wrong?

  23. Fork AD

    in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion

    (some typos)

    Well some news.
    After 6 months of hard work, it was the time to have a real life meeting.

    So we met during 3 days in Molvania at our own expenses.
    We had profitable discussions and spend also a lot of times to code.

    It was also the moment for us to discuss about our recent new contributors. Among them, I would cite Richard and Eric, or our Nvidia gpu expert Benedict (he could become our future community manager), Donald Ervin who will write some docs, Brian and Dennis who will help us on the c part of the code (they are currently busy writing a book), or Alex who plan to help us on the AI but currently busy to learn many things.

    The last day, we take a good dinner based on pizzas, garlic and cheese sandwiches and last but not least pork and beans. We kept the tarte flambée for after our STK game. We was really exhausted and took some rest watching Escape from New York. The end scene, the fact that one of our dev have removed thousand lines of dead code and perhaps some fermented beverage led us to take a decision: we had to fork our own fork.

    We are proud to announce that the name of our meta fork is Spoon AD.

    The clothing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thracian_clothing (is black cloak the good name?)
