I'd assume the vast majority to be wikipedia links; if later we decide to link there we'd have the links already gathered. If anybody uses other sources they'd know; those might be even more worthwhile to collect and link.

I'm not sure. I would say it's best to collect the sources from the start, later we could see what to do with them. (If you don't collect them from the start, it will be a pain in the averywhere to do so later.)

Archaeological potpourri
Gurken Khan replied to Gurken Khan's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
Archeologists have discovered the oldest known building plans, estimated 8,000 to 9,000 years: Those "desert kites" (for their form) were up to 5km and used to trap herds of animals. https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/saudi-arabien-und-jordanien-aelteste-bauplaene-der-menschheit-entdeckt-a-610899e8-e46c-4875-aa8b-a8f31c2dd634 https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0277927 -
Vulkan has a problem waking up: When I put my laptop (Win8.1) on standby and wake it up again, 0AD looks like this. OpenGL ARB seems to fare better, but with Vulkan it happens every time. Nothing the logs capture, but since I apparently crashed the game yesterday (no idea, lol), have some logs anyway: logs240523.zip Edit: Maybe the crash was when I tried to use Vulkan with an incompatible driver.

Technical Art Requirements

Ohhhhhkayyyy. I understood some of it. Maybe I keep bringing it up until someone has a genius idea how to do it economically. -
Technical Art Requirements
Gurken Khan replied to Stan`'s topic in Tutorials, references and art help
@Stan` IIRC you once wrote that it's a matter of art which flag is shown on a building. Since I really think the owner's flag should be shown on all owned buildings - including captured ones - where would be a good point to introduce that into the process, so that mid-term we'd have that? -

@Genava55 I clicked on the link and saw opposition to this. Didn't really expect anything positive from this fascist gov't. -

I just put it here: 11. The Greek philosopher Plato's real name is unknown, as "Plato" is his wrestling nickname. 16. Plato’s name is actually a nickname that means ‘broad’. It was given to him on account of his handsome, robust and well-built figure. 17. Plato won Pankration in the Olympics twice, a form of fighting that only bars gouging and biting. https://www.ebaumsworld.com/pictures/plato-x-facts-about-historys-most-famous-teacher/87276581/ -
Our alphas have a name and a number. Currently the release candidate (RC) for the next version, A27, is being tested.

I do think it's a skill thing. I play with one ally and four medium enemies, and neither me nor my ally die; even if I'm the favorite enemy of all my enemies. And I'm not the world's best player. This is not to discourage you but instead encourage you that it gets better as you get better.

According to the logs?

Improved Farming Animation / Mauryan Palace
Gurken Khan replied to Gurken Khan's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Maybe this whole "improved farming animation" thing would be better situated in a dedicated thread. -
Do you have a crash to report?
