    Kind of a random suggestion: make the corpses a bit "faded" in color, so it will be easier to identify live troops when they are fighting in a field full of dead bodies.

    It was indeed. I was surprised by the level of sophistication of the Kushite culture. Very detailed work in gold, and they even had some board game - called "senet" - that looks like chess (one of the pictures above). I'm not haha. I'm just visiting the country for some time, my understanding of Dutch is extremely basic. Just by curiosity, are you a historian? You seem to have an extensive knowledge of their history. My motivation with these pictures was to provide some extra material for the game, I remembered your posts when planning the Kushites and thought that maybe the museum stuff might not be easily accessible (not sure). Some useful examples that I think could be easily applied to some units/buildings: the ceiling picture (with the blue flowers), the blue lion, the archer quiver. The small amulets could be props for soldiers/civilians and the shabtis for buildings (maybe). But I'm not a specialist so correct me if I'm wrong.

    I recently visited the Drents Museum in the Netherlands, they have an exposition called "Nubia: Land of the Black Pharaos", and decided to take pictures of some of the artifacts with their descriptions (unfortunately in Dutch), and the history texts (in English). I also recorded some music they played in the introduction video (which I guess is some generic Egyptian music). Not sure if this is useful for the community, but just in case... And it was pretty cool to see some of the references of the game in such exposition, like "Gebel Barkal". nubia.mp3

    The link is broken for me. Does anyone have this zip?

    @Alexandermb May the gods of FOSS bless you! Great work!

    One suggestion: Right now I see we have a good number of nice mods, and they were downloaded many times, but it is still very hard to find people for a multiplayer match using mods. Anytime you look, there is at most 1 game using mod (I mean a major gameplay mod). It would be interesting if there was some way to: see which mod the players in the lobby were using; filter games by mod.

    1 appears in Delenda Est. 2 and 6 in Millennium A.D. 8 in Terra Magna. As far as I know you can combine Millennium A.D. and Terra Magna to get all their extra civs, but Delenda Est does not mix with them (and also change the base civs).

    I'm not sure if it is a mod yet. @LordGood is working on it, I think.

    Probably because different systems come with different fonts installed (and the users can change them), so the game packs the fonts to look the same in all systems (I guess).

    I'm also interested on that, and I have noticed that there are some other people too. My plan is to start to study Petra and slowly write some kind of AI how-to for 0 A.D. I haven't gone too far yet though.

    @borg- is it a secret or can you tell us what is this mod about?

    @DarcReaver It seems that the game is already in such an advanced stage that changing completely all the mechanics like you suggested would be more like creating a fork of the game. Not saying that it cannot be done, but you know. 0 A.D. started as a mod of AoE and has evolved for years to be an AoE-like game. This revolutionary change in the gameplay seems more like an entirely new project than just a couple of new alphas. It's like if when Microsoft was with AoE2 95% implemented somebody suggested "hey, let's make this 3D turn-based with formations" or something.
  15. coworotel
    Well, except that 0 A.D. is a FOSS game, while AoE is not. I don't think the role of an open source project is to compete for market share with commercial games. The fact that the game is FOSS is what makes all the difference, and in that respect there's no better alternative at the moment as far as I know.

    Hi @rain_ironwolf, I would like to say thanks for all the videos recently, your channel has been really productive! It's very nice for the community.
  17. coworotel
    @dmzerocold Thanks man! I hope you can do these translations, the game is sooo much better with the original languages... The Romans which are the only ones not speaking Greek at the moment have a whole different feeling than the other factions just because they speak Latin and sound more legitimate than, say, the Iberians speaking Greek. Edit: Oh, Here you are talking about the text, not the voices... I confused it with your other thread about voices...

    Spot on! Problem solved!

    Didn't work... The error is in the map selection screen

    Does anybody else get an error when opening the match selection screen? I get this:

    I took a look at Petra and I don't think it would be easy to apply ML to it. It would be easier to redesign a simpler AI with input info, a decision module (where the ML acts) and an output. Petra was not designed with ML in mind so all the game logic is embedded there already. Anyway, very nice to hear that somebody is trying to apply ML to 0 A.D., it is certainly the best way to go.
  22. coworotel
    I think partial information of the game state is an advantage in fact. That is the information human players have: you have the info you see at the screen. We also use our memory to remember previous things we saw at the screen... I don't know if that is considered in their algorithm, but should be.

    haha is your browser translating my text to spanish? because I'm typing in English... Anyway, thanks!
  25. coworotel
    @rain_ironwolf wow! nice! I haven't found your videos before because I always search by 0 a.d., maybe if you put "0 A.D." in the title of your videos it will show up more in the search? I will watch all of them
