Difficult to call it a gameplay reveal :D

This is not straightforward because the reason the mod has to be broken in several patches is to organize them functionally in order to indepedently discuss them/ test their behaviour, meaning that a functionnality like the counter system will be spread over several files, but also that a template file can be affected by multiple functionnalities (patches), eg borg's counter system and base stats harmonization. Edit : ah thought you were speaking about borg's mod, in Valihrant's case it's different since most of the changes in files are indeed independant from each other making the process much easier

Very nice infographic. I might be able to play in the last 2 weeks or something.

The ptolemies are the best civilization in multiplayer, just that they can be difficult to handle when we're not used to them/multiplayer.

Typically, the units that are going to gather wood, here it would be the 4 men. I think the tutorial could mention/emphasize the bonus of international trade, self trading just like that is often not worth it.

I just did an example game in multiplayer : 2019-09-01_0003.zip Of course, it doesn't mean it's easy to pull it off, nor that it is worth it trying it but i just say it's possible

It would with an improved build order, but not against >2000 (or except maybe if opponent has archer civ)

Well, if you take away the possibility for fields to be near Civic Center there should be an appropriate rebalance of the game, because the protection offered by the CC (both garrisoning and arrow firing) is a big deal to defend against rushes. Without this, if you don't have an equal or superior army in the location of the rush, you're as good as dead. Also, if you just have garrisoning but not arrow firing, an enemy raid can stay in the economy and idle it until it gets chased, you also have to consider this for rebalancing. Also fields surrounding Civic Centers is kinda intuitive for players coming from AoE2 i suppose.

To be fair when i started 0A.D. i learned quite a bit from the economy scenario which was harder than it should have been due to it being outdated. Also a scenario embedded in the game has more visibility, I think that the 2 ways can complement each other.

I can at the very least assume it to be 5, either way they need to learn to batch just like the previous economic scenario

I could make a build order for a specific map (would be better if the player changes his default batch size to 1 beforehand)

It's just 1 guy almost, if he's still not IP banned yet then i still wonder why. If he is then he's very dedicated. Also, the forum is more active now in general.

All the significative numbers are not shown in tooltip, it rounds up to .1 so if you want to do your test, first you can look at the real base values in the game files (because they are rounded up too) and the other solution is to do the cheat "gift from the gods" in your tests which will have the effect to multiply the gather rate and will thus show more significative numbers (useful if you want to test bonus stacking i suppose)

How about you verify it by yourself if you don't even trust the devs ?

I wonder why it was removed from the game but not in the civ description, that makes things not easy for new players

Where did i say that ? I just made an observation.

That said, Hannibal's bonus to allies don't stack with other possible hannibals :

Result : Vercingetorix only affects the player's own troops as expected, Hannibal affects the player + his allies, Cleopatra health bonuses affects the allies but not the player (actually logical) Yes

As for the ambiguous cases, we can first compare Vercingetorix and Hannibal auras, respectively : -+20% attack and +1 capture for soldiers and siege engines. -+20% attack and +1 capture for nearby allied soldiers and siege engines. When we see them together we can obviously tell the difference, but for 0AD players that see them at different time, they could assume it do be the same, it would also make sense in term of balance. But indeed we have : "affectedPlayers": ["Ally"], in the code for Hannibal and not for Vercingetorix. But that's not all, Cleopatra's tooltip has : "+10% health for allied heroes." which is written the same way as Hannibal's but in the code it has : "affectedPlayers": ["ExclusiveMutualAlly"], which kind of hints to a difference we don't really know of. And on top of that it's unclear if in the bonuses to allies also affect you, which is not the case for teambonuses. I don't mind, but i'm almost sure you still don't know the answer.

Yeah, true, although for those cases it's specified in the tooltips. I got focused on the attack bonuses which i remembered didn't stack with others (after veerifying, some do, other not). In the end, even the cleopatra bonus can only stack with itself, right ? Worry not, i looked into the codes. I found a very ambiguous case. And still, it doesn't necessarily stay at the highest, it would only stay to the bonus that affects you, and if it combines, it doesn't necessarily combine to 35%.

It is an understandable worry. I think this bonus is not implemented and won't be.

Imagine you have a base stat of 100. You apply a bonus of 20% and then a bonus of 15%. After the 20% bonus, your stat is 120 and you apply the 15% bonus on that number making it 138. This is higher than a 20 + 15 = 35% bonus which results in 135.

By 20% and then 15% he meant that the 15% is applied after the first 20% bonus is, so on an attack value that is higher than the base one, making it give a bigger bonus and what it means that ally aura don't affect you (afaik) EDIT: in other words, the answer is no to the very first question of the thread
