Case in point: Is this supposed to be inside or outside? The window says inside, the lighting and the plant say outside. (The wood and stone work also look wrong to me, but I can't judge it confidently.)

@Lion.Kanzen Frankfurt silver inscription

Archäologischer Sensationsfund "Der älteste Christ nördlich der Alpen war Frankfurter" Es ist ein Fund, der die Geschichtsschreibung verändern könnte: In Frankfurt wurde ein 1.800 Jahre altes Amulett mit Inschrift gefunden. Experten halten es für das älteste Zeugnis christlichen Glaubens nördlich der Alpen. They found a 1,800 year old Roman silver amulet with a Christian inscription, believed to be the oldest evidence of Christianity north of the Alps.

Yeah, I thought my horsie was around, but he was actually a few meters away: So everything's fine, please excuse the interruption...

I'm all for bringing this back.

Doesn't that make you think (or cry).

We could have a guy that just sings and dances around weirdly that gives ALL the buffs. rock-gnomes.mp4

I think the centurion should also have an aura overlay.

That's ... something.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone While I appreciate the historical insight, I ask myself how the things you described lead to a small community.

Personally, I just don't play maps with sparse/no wood; since it's FOSS one could make a custom collection by tweaking the parameters. Did you see the button that let's you choose the map size? I believe "Giant" is close to what the engine can reasonably handle.

My first thought was if you set the AI(s)'s setting to defensive and "Wonder" as winning condition you wouldn't have warfare as the primary aspect of the game. Secondly, I suggest you check out Delenda Est, which (I believe) is pretty much an overhaul and introduces new mechanics; I don't know how much they'd be up your alley, but might serve as inspiration regardless.

I started two games I didn't play, started the third and except hitting pause on the loading screen I didn't do anything and the game immediately crashed after starting. Give us RC2 already!

I guess I could. But I just wanted to post a reminder that there are trac links in the game files so they're not overseen, they don't affect me in any way. Aren't we expecting exciting news around new year's?

Probably someone already took care of it, but in the mainlog for a27 RC1 I saw trac links...

@vladislavbelov "Is it expected"? But yes, I do. crashlog.txt:

I think it's fine when Norse warns us about Yeka that we have a broader picture. Lacking a better description I'd say Yeka is a somewhat "original character" with their take on the game and probably the people. I forgot the exact term Norse was using, but he definitely wanted Yeka to make up for previous behavior; that might be where the "enslaving" comes from. Personally I just hope this doesn't turn into a major disruption and the project moves forward. (And I do think Yeka could contribute to that, if the stars and the moods of the people involved align...)

I'm pretty sure that wouldn't be wanted by the devs and the majority of players. I have the threshold for wounded units at 50% and when I do an area selection while holding the hotkey for wounded units (default: o) I retreat them manually. With their turn and acceleration times and "swimming against the stream" they usually take a lot more damage but at least they have a chance.

Another idea I had was making olive ~fields that can cling to mountains; on maps like Hellas it can be difficult to place regular fields. In addition we could make them work a bit different as you suggested.

Well, that answers my question: I just think he has an impressive LoS. I had him meditate in the temple, but in general I want my healers aggressive and have them attack move; problem being (again) that he frequently wanders somewhere by himself.

What line of sight does Archie have/is it intended behavior? Even before those wounded units reached the position in the pic he wandered towards them. Here I'm (only) managing XP in my base, but when I'm on tour he very often strays far away from his group because he spotted a healing target way off.
