I spontaneously tried recording some 0 AD commentary yesterday. Please excuse all the mistakes, such as wrong format, and regard it as an experiment

In many cases you can not rejoin immediatly, and you get a message saying something like " you are already in the game". It is fixed if the host kicks you.

Usually when you bring up the summary during the game it just shows own stats, that should not change when disconnected or pausing. Especially when it comes to pausing this should clearly be a bug ???. Disconnecting once, for example to see if an infantry rush u plan to do would work could be a decisive advantage, as a the outcome of the game is frequently decided by such an all in attack. Especially for those players who actualy play this game somewhat competitively this is relevant. Besides players have claimed that people try to "cheat" in that way. Therefore from my perspective this deserves more atttention than a sarcastic reply. Bringing this is definitly not the result of an effort to "break the game", but just a known issue. This is also not about blaming the devs, but just a try to contribute with constructive criticism.

How about making military upgrades visible by actually changing unit armour/look ? It would be realistic and you would not have to look at unit stats during game to see if the enemy got upgrades. It might be hard for weapons cuz so small, so it could barely be seen and another way would have to be found, but at least for armour it could be helpfull.

Unfortunately i had some time consuming private life events happening, so i could not play the last weeks. Same was the case for Edwarf afaik. Sorry for that, and thanks for organizing the event.

So i summarize: Shyft claims it is justified to excessively bully and insult other players, because they had a performance worse then him in an online GAME. He assumes, people who want to keep him out of the game do it because they feel hurt in their pride bc they cant live with others pointing out that they have made mistakes in an online GAME. Shift does not see that insults are actually hurtfull to most people and are therefore generally problematic and to be avoided. There has been no such insight as " I can just replace my insults with constructive criticism." I dont want to come up with a psychological diagnosis on that which i am not qualified to give, but i think there is just little hope with such an attitude that anything will change.

Actually i think with jc a solution was found, not sure how though

A law suit should generally be possible, but it would require to track the IP at least. The best solution is, if he would be ignored by everyone, but some people find the whole thing entertaining and will not do so, and also it would not be optimal if new players suffer from the phenomena and no other players realize to give support.

You can download autociv mod by nani which offers such a solution. @Stan` @user1 @Dunedan All said by the players above, this is constant, happens in every game and makes the game hard to enjoy, no regret by the player. Please act on that.

Intrestingly it prioritizes older buildings and baracks. I sometimes end up having 10 batches queued in cc while baracks are ideling, despite ofc using whole control group

Eae, I register myself hereby

Maybe after rejoining the specific situation could be saved as the "starting scenario" ? After all the map shown in the replay is not a random "mainland" map, but a specific variation as well. It might be though, that a specifc "seed" is beeing saved, which allows the exact reproduction. So i guess it is technically difficult, to modify the setup before the replay starts, as lots of information would need to be saved, including commands in progress and an extra "modification" step before the replay starts would need to happen. But i am programming nub, so just random ideas.

I would argue it is even of more use, than having just the first minutes ? It still would allow to see how certain actions during the game worked out. And despite i dont know if it is technically possible, it would also be an option to just add to the old replay file ? I agree that it would be a very welcome improvement.

I propse the following idea: @user1 @Stan` @Dunedan To help moderators known players ( with their non smurf acccounts only) can be appointed "mod-helpers". They are able to vote for mod functions, such as "mute", "kick", "ban" for a certain player, and if a certain amount of of mod helpers, lets say 5 for example "vote" for such an action, the consequence will be enacted. It could be ofc limited to much less time as if mods do it. In the aftermath mods will be notified, and be able to check wether the action taken was "legit" or wether there was power abuse.

This needs to be printed on calendars and deep pictures on instagram

I heard it is a tradition in Poland to also call GG when the craftsmen finished the construction.

No matter what i think how much of an emperor i am, there is always still an 0 AD player who is @Emperior :'(.

Ingame report feature wont allow to send screenshots etc. though, and ez report button could be spammed and abused. Also 1v1 quitter thread is used quite frequently, and despite perfect coverage will not be achieved as you pointed out, it could help as at least frequent players are aware of the Forum.

Maybe there should be a forum thread, much like the quitting rated games thread to gather all incidents to allow a better overview for lobby moderators, who could quickly check each week or so.

One night, after you became rich due to a Youtube channel focusing on 0AD you told your manager to book Britney Spears for your birthday. When the day came three unshaved, wild looking men with no shirts on showed up. "Who the hell are you ? ", you exclaimed. In broken english they replied: " We are briton ey, Spears ! ", and held their weapons under your nose.

Pls be careful guys
