    1. Did any of vanilla or borg team thought about adding tiredness of troops? When it comes to troops I doubt army in reality would be able to fight non stop until the death like a zombies.

    Packed with direction trait differentiation and co.

    2. It would be nice to see troops building tents / camps while resting and small sets of fire to keep them warm. Ofcourse while they are doing that ur food goes minus .

    Upkeep has always been considered, guess people don't want to handle negative food.

    3. Barracks what I hate about them is that.... somehow they jump out of barracks from any direction instead of simply walking out of barracks using front entrance / back entrance  (if there is any)

    Recent feature "exit wherever rallypoint is" doesn't help this

    4. Everyone is hyped for soldiers doing eco in our matches. That's great idea but I never seen a soldier in full armor gathering wood, did you? ..... Probobably u could see but whatever.. Troops while on eco should have their armor , weapons with them. Lets say they would need to get slaves or at least go in to barracks and grab their stuff. Someone raiding? Be careful, leave some troops to protect ur eco. Spear vs raiders work great isnt it @borg-

    everyone wants this, or at least says so

    5. Season winter, summer etc would be amazing addition to the maps/game itself on the same map.

    last thing i heard, @(-_-) was working on dynamic in-game terrain change. Probably gave up

  2. I agree that the lobby could use an extra moderator or two who would cover American and Asian gaming times. Primarily for chat moderation, they would be able to assist in the processing of reports and other administrative issues.

     

    However, those with a tarnished record featuring multiple issues with administrative authorities or those who are temperamentally unsuitable  to the position need not apply.

  3. Due to some undetermined tampering with my files (I use the compiled version) which may have happened while applying a corrosive patch, I have lost the ability to gain/lose points.

    The issue was also noted with @Stockfish who left somewhat bewildered after we resigned several games to each other - without impact on ratings.

    If you would like to further press the issue, you are welcome to debug my application.

    Point shaving is unethical especially for bad purpose but there’s no rules or anything to technically prevent that with the current setup.

    The rules are specified in the Terms  of Use, which is agreed to by every player when they register an account. While the rating system and the enforcement methods may not be adequate, it must be observed that ratings are enabled solely for the purpose of player entertainment. They should be viewed as a means of motivation to participate in competitive play, yet people consider their rating to be important and are willing to violate the Terms & Conditions to safeguard it.

    Reading the above, you might argue that it supports your argument. True, ratings are for the amusement of players. But they are nevertheless meant to reflect the skill of the given player, this aids match creation between unacquainted people and gives a rough estimate of the "top players" - always a hype in games.

    Of course one might still maintain that it is not a "big deal". Yet the fact remains that the Rules are laid down in the Terms of Use, rules which are there to be respected. If a user violates a rule - and one of significant consequence - without receiving a punishment then what of the other rules? Are they of any consequence if one violation was not met with retribution?

     3-day ban was distributed to parties involved in this "rating shaving" issue. @wing is pardoned but there is no reason why DoctorOrgans or even Aristol should be. Artificial adjustment of ratings is a ban offence, they may consider themselves lucky to have gotten off lightly.

  5. I see that my latest exploit hit the news.

    It is true that it is a bit unfair, since I started using this strategy some players call "gg" upon me building a wonder/capturing the relics. :rolleyes:

     

    @(-_-) it is true that I always try to keep myself up-to-date, leading the fashion in 0 A.D. bugs and abuse is what I do.

    Nevertheless, one could argue that this effective bug detection and its subsequent systematic abuse will drive people who play with me to campaign to get the bug fixed ( @elexis ).

    Numerous game weaknesses (not just game exploits) have been unearthed in such a fashion, leading to the overall improvement of the game!

  6. I think I've also came across a description bug, the feature is different than written

    I'm compiling a list of bugs but am not really familiar with the game so ill submit it in a month when its more complete

    The Zora hero Telara doesn't seem to increase unit attack though (tried with mages Floodmaster and Stormbolter)

  7. If it is based on the oversight and arguable inattention of the modder involved, that it isn't a glitch but a feature that was misconfigured and made a bit stronger than intended?

    It would mean disabling a valuable unit, and it was expressly said that this wouldn't happen.

    Have you ever been to a farm? Or have you ever been to the center of any town or city anywhere in the world? lol, sorry...

    I just really hope that 0AD can breath new life into the RTS genre by getting rid of those stale 90's conventions, instead of dogmatically adhering to them. It's time for some new and revamped formulas. Not the same old, same old logical fallacies. 0AD can and should be much more than just glorified nostalgia (I know it already is, but we can do better, even with minor changes here and there).

    Triggers me every time...

    Farms belong on the outskirts while markets belong in the center! How does this not upset you? lol...

     

     

    Person forgot to harvest the berries.

    Never build farms and not take berries!!

    farms should really be rectangular

    As for the marketcc I'm not a fan, we got really nice actors for them and its a lot neater like this.
