    This is ancient Greece

    Then it's time to remember Xanthippus.

    He is known for being the Pericles father.

    I will quote wikipedia (sorry I have nothing better to offer) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthippus

    Early political career and ostracism

    As a citizen-soldier of Athens and a member of the aristocracy, Xanthippus most likely fought during the Battle of Marathon in 490 BC. Xanthippus first appears in the historical record the following year (489 BC), when he led the prosecution of Miltiades the Younger, the general who led Athenians to victory at Marathon. Miltiades had asked for a fleet of 70 ships and a supply of troops to be put at his disposal in reward for his victory, saying that he would not reveal his intentions, but that the venture would reap great profit for the city. The Athenians granted his wish, but when he met with set-backs and injury during an attack on Paros he had to return empty handed and sick.[3] Many Athenians suspected him of deceiving them. The Alcmaeonidae were traditional political rivals of Miltiades' clan, the Philaidae, and they pressed for charges against the hero of Marathon, with Xanthippus making their case and asking for the death penalty.[4] Miltiades was in great pain due to his injury and could not defend himself, but his friends put up enough of a defence to avoid his execution; instead he was fined a sum too large to pay and thrown in prison as a debtor. He died there of his wounds.[5] Athenians would come to regret their treatment of their war hero, but immediately following the trial Xanthippus became the pre-eminent politician of the day, if only briefly.[6]

    Xanthippus' leadership was short lived due to the rise of Themistocles, who was a populist set against the aristocracy that Xanthippus represented. Xanthippus teamed up with his fellow aristocrat Aristides to counter the ambitions of Themistocles,[7] but Themistocles out-maneuvered them with a series of ostracisms that were basic referendums concerning the direction of the Athenian government. The lower classes had begun to flex their political muscle with Themistocles, and the results of the ostracisms reflected their new-found power. There were 5 prominent ostracisms of aristocrats during the political clashes of the 480's BC, and both Xanthippus and Aristides were among the victims. Xanthippus was ostracised in 484 BC.[8]

    So I've looked about the forum, and the roadmap at trac.wildfiregames.com. What I haven't (beyond a very old thread in project governance that had no discussion) is a list of things wfg wants finished before moving out of alpha stage. I think perhaps that would be a good thing to make public, especially since its rather playable in it's current state.

     

    Such a list was already done (and redone) many times. Each people ignoring the list of the previous people.

    One of the last public list is here: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameplayFeatureStatus

  6. alt key modifier and ubuntu

    solved : it was a local issue

    When selecting military only units with alt + select, it works fine on debian but it doesn't work on ubuntu (it moves the whole window). I guess the window manager win again 0ad.

    No? So health is not an integer? Interesting. What about other values, e.g. resources?

    health is decimal

    resources are integers (not need to cut the unit in which we count it, else we had to count it in another unit, if someone think what I say didn't mean anything, he is right, that's why we have to have integer resources)

    Although buying and selling seems to work, I still get a warning I don't understand whenever I start or load a game: 

    
WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/components/Barter.js line 45 reference to undefined property multiplier.buy[resource]

    Furthermore, I still want to disable bartering resources other than silver directly; only silver ought to be used for buying or selling other resources.

    That's a really annoying bug.

    When putting warn(uneval(this.template.BarterMultiplier)) in the Init of the Player component, we see that the 5th resources is not taken into account. I hope it's because we miss something when using the resource feature (that would be the best).

    I will read the doc on trac.

    edit: I can't understand right now. Let's say it's magical since we find an explication.

    48. Yes that's this one. (The tooltip should be change accordingly as those modifications are already handled in Template.js).

    Don't consider that patch as officialy recommended. It is not reviewed.

    (For example, take care of rounding issues, if you use only integers addition it will be fine).
