Any funny rule or regular tournament ? -
Your moral compass has taught you this, and that's as it should be. However, I don't deny that racist remarks should be punished. But in the private sphere, that is, in hosted game, no. Moreover, racist and anti-religious remarks are not punished in some countries. It’s true that JC’s rants and toxic behavior can be frustrating, but game psychology shows that some players paradoxically become more engaged when faced with these emotional challenges, striving to overcome or compete with him. Of course, this doesn’t justify his remarks, but it illustrates that any sanction should be proportionate. He acts as an emotional catalyst, a common enemy

Hello everyone, I am not here to contest a moderation decision nor to deny the legitimacy of a sanction when behavior crosses the line. Moderation exists and their work is sacred. What I want to share, however, is a reflection on what we sometimes lose when a player leaves (or is removed) durably from 0 A.D. JC is not an angel, he has had words too much, moments of anger, perhaps even statements that none of us would want to see reappear in the chat or on the forum. That deserves warning and sanction. On the other hand I am convinced that exclusion, even temporary, is not justified. If the moderators judge it useful, they can mute him permanently from the lobby. Then the players must protect themselves from him: There is autociv to mute a player or simply avoid him like a nuisance in the games. He did not seek to harm in a dangerous way against the project. Like DDoS or that kind of thing. Every player also represents something else: hundreds of hours spent playing, testing, reporting sometimes very technical bugs memorable games (good or catastrophic) that made dozens of people laugh, rant, progress a sincere love for this free project, born more than twenty years ago from passion accumulated knowledge on mechanics, civilizations, strategies, which he shared (even if sometimes with a bit too much salt) 0 A.D. is not a commercial game with a moderation budget. It is a project carried by volunteers, passionate people, and a relatively small but faithful community. Every regular player who leaves is a real loss for this ecosystem. We can afford to have a different functioning. We can claim to have a game above the others. A dogma to protect and leave in free access. Sanction firmly, yes. But applying a ban, is sometimes punishing the community as much as the individual. Many of us have already been young, impulsive, under caffeine at 2am after a raging defeat, or simply clumsy with our words. Some of us were lucky: a warning, a temporary mute, a private discussion with a more patient moderator… and we are still here today. I am not asking for general amnesty nor for the immediate return of JC. I am simply asking that we ask ourselves the question: Can we dehumanize him and consider him only as a lambda player who must have access to the game. Like a basic right. I am not even talking about second or tenth chance, he will do it again for sure. It is not by laxism that I propose to unban him. I consider that what happens in the games is private therefore not moderatable. If he wants to be the biggest villain on earth, he can, it is up to the player to avoid him. Thank you for reading until here. Whatever happens, I will continue to love this game and the people (even the ranters) who make it live. Kindly,

Promotions - Health and damage are affected differently?
Dakara replied to DesertRose's topic in Bug reports
i don't know, but attack take the bonus forge -
This issue has been handled perfectly. The list of other players' mods must be displayed and clearly visible. If, once the feature is well-designed and implemented, a player hides their mods, they must be penalized.

Love the idea to give to Center Civ Maurya the elefant garnison For regicide, maybe create a model of prince with 1000 hp, no bonus and a basic sword attack. Love the idea to increase requirement of city guards xp by 15%, same for rome or not?
-
Most of time yes but some player maybe can make the choice to rush on wonder first.
-
some unit are the same, just name change some unit have different stats

Elephants - Do they take bonus damage from Spearman and Pikeman?
Dakara replied to DesertRose's topic in Gameplay Discussion
No because elefant are not horse and in previous alpha skirmish was the best against elefant, i don't know today -
And that was the life. Women had their assigned role, men had to die for nothing just to please the powerful, and it’s really not much better. The advantage of having a single model is to easily recognize whether the unit group is weak or not (in order to kill them). Btw i feel we copy AOE2 and i hate this feeling, 0AD is much better

Too bad about this bug. It was fun, but it's only better with females; the bug is justified to prevent the spread of repugnant ideologies. troll -

Food trickle efficiency: Ice House vs Corral + Cows
Dakara replied to ffm2's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Sure, but in an alternative game type like other map or long game. They'll have a much larger population available for the army; I don't see how they could lose against a 200-population civilization in the late game. but it is not the topic, alright -
