More midweek 0AD fun! Naked Fanatics proved popular last week, so thought for the last video of 2020, why not feature them again!

Happy Sunday

Hey, merry Christmas everyone At 7pm tonight I've got a premiere of a 1v1 game featuring Borg that was very kindly donated. Alas, I don't think I'll be able to make it for the prem - I shall probably be indulging in a late Christmas dinner!

This episode was brought to you in conjunction with colds, sore throat and sniffles! More midweek Madness!

I love a bit of gratuitous conflict on a Sunday morning 0AD 4v4 Insane Body Count!

Some fantastic midweek action

New premiere at 12pm GMT today

To brighten up your Wednesday

Happy Sunday

And I'm back with another 1v1

And we'll be back on with 4v4 action tomorrow morning!

Yes, oh for shame You make one mistake (multiple times in a video) and people never let you forget it!

And we have the conclusion of the Battle of the 0AD Youtubers! Happy Sunday

Finally finished the second tutorial

9.30am GMT Premiere It's part 2 of the 'Battle of the Youtubers' Remember, you can also watch the game from the perspective of each player, with their own commentary; Tom 0AD - https://www.youtube.com/c/Tom0ad & Alistair Findlay - https://www.youtube.com/c/AlistairFindlay Happy Sunday!

Hello y'all. It's going to be a little while. Got a backlog of games to do commentary on and tutorial to finish. But I've pretty much written the whole script.

Cos there's nothing finer than watching a massive cav rush in the middle of the week!

And a bit more 4v4 action for you all!

Two lots of 0AD Newbie Rush fun today - you lucky people! First game is a Youtube experiment - a 3 way collaboration. Here we have a 1v1 battle between two other 0AD Youtubers, Tom0AD and Alistair Findlay. You can view the game from their own perspectives as they played it on their channels - links in my videos description, but first of all, here is my general overview and match commentary;

I was was a bit sceptical going into this thread but @ChronA - I'm really taken with the idea of this mechanic. It might throw out my reliance on Slingers and Celtic factions, but it certainly would add a new dimension and adjust a players thinking into the make up of their forces when building an army.

Because we all need some midweek 0AD action!

Nice, thanks again. One last thing - by any chance do you have any interesting replays of DE games - either 1v1 or small multiplayer team games? I'd be intrigued to know if it works as a spectator sport in a similar way to the vanilla game. May even do a commentary over some if they are engaging.

Thanks @wowgetoffyourcellphone - that's a huge insight Out of interest, presumably the mod is built purely upon the base code of the game - does that mean it suffers from the same bugs that the vanilla game has, most notably the pathfinding bottleneck problem and the resulting lag with high numbers of units?

The 4v4's keep getting sent in, and they're always good

Hopefully will be doing a feature on Delenda Est fairly soon, huge kudos to @wowgetoffyourcellphone and anyone else involved in the making of this epic piece of work. Have only just installed it and messed around with it yesterday. I knew from the write up on mod.io that is wasn't your average 0AD mod, but I honestly had no idea just how much scope had been added to the game. I was initially thinking I could knock together a short vid about in very quickly, but the deeper I've dug into the changes and added features, the more it's become evident that that wouldn't really do it justice, so it's going to take me a little longer to cover it properly. I'd love to get a little more insight into the story of how this mod came about, if you get chance, I have some questions about it, if you have a few minutes to indulge me? _What was the initial thinking and concept behind the project? _How many people have worked on the development of this mod and who does what? _How did the creation of the fourth phase come about, _Whats the biggest difference in the playing experience from vanilla 0AD and Delenda Est? My initial thoughts are that the average game would probably be quite a bit longer and much more tactical _Are there any features from Delenda Est likely to make their way into Alpha 24? _What will become of of it when Alpha 24 finally arrives? Will it you be able to adapt it to the new version to keep it alive? _Finally - flaming pigs? What on Earth? We they really a thing? Many thanks in advance. Any insight you offer will be terrifically helpful in me framing the narrative of the video. Congrats and kudos again on this 0AD shaped monster of a mod that you have so skillfully created. Jim
