  1. Ah I thought pretty much all pikeman didnt carry shield? they were two handed weapons? I guess they could kinda of have a smaller one on their forearm or something.
  2. This is my point! This is all great info. Why are pretty much every champ XBOW the same stats, ever citizen swordman same stats etc Finally I like how there is a Catophract mixin. I try and find the historical differences in civs and work them into my mod. Yes it can become a little more confusing, especially for newer players. But it can also make it more interest sting and strategic. For example based on what Ive read both the Kush and Maury where know for their Archers... Kush tended to use poisoned arrows, so I gave them less pierce dmg and added poisone dmg. Maury used 7 foot bows that they had to stabilize with their feet. I gave them +2 range and alittle extra pierce. if people like these ideas and can bring me some sort of proof references I want to make more changes. For now since you said the mace xbows were mroe siege I gave them extra range and dmg, but they shoot slower.. I also gave the troops a little more armor but they walk slower... so they are kind of in-between normal units and actual siege. Feel free to check out my topic about the historical mod: Always looking for players to play with and try things out, but also always looking for new ideas. We also have a small discord group where we discuss changes and what not. Thats one of the things I love about 0ad and it being open source. The Devs work really hard to put the game together and worry about all the coding and what not. We can play around with the historical side of it and make new units (Brits, Celts, Persians all had some variation of axmen infantry) and mabye some of those ghings will make it into later alphas! Cheers
  3. Of course! although it will change again soon... Im close to getting back to where we were a26... Once that is complete ill do github or something, and the changes will be much slower just based on feedback from playing expierences! if you can play Multi let me know Leif In game, Enjoy! historical-patch.zip
  4. anyone? the AI is way too ez... and im not that good at coding yet to make them OP
  5. If the ancient greeks used them as siege weapons and the Hans just used them as regular weapons why do they have same stats? Or did Han use them as siege as well? they definitely act more like regular soldiers IMO.
  6. Im trying to work on an even more "historical" version of the game. Although it still needs a lot of work and testing Thats why I like to look these things up.
  7. Thanks, yeah in game the specific name of Gastraphetophoros wasnt turning anything up. But Gastraphetes does... although nothing specifically about Mace, probably invented in 399 BC. Gastraphetes - Wikipedia Its pretty cool what you can learn just by playing 0ad and then doing a little follow up reading
  8. I just did a quick search (nothing extensive yet) but haven't come across the Macedonian army using xbows. Can someone point me in the right direction. Or were they just added for gameplay/balance purposes?
  9. I know a27 just came out, and everyone likes it But I have been working on a mod (started on a26) that I would love for people to try out and play! Im not trying to seperate the community at all. I'm just trying to learn more about modding and dabble around in it. However, since Petra isn't that strong (and that is way above my pay grade) it would be nice to have people to play with and give suggestions so I can continue to develop my skills The purpose behind the mod was to try and create a little more historical accuracy and difference between the civs. It's been a lot of fun and I've been learning a lot and reading a little! I've had help from @TheCJ @Atrik@Meister@Friedrich123@real_tabasco_sauce and I'm sure others my old brain is leaving out. But yeah its really been more of a community project once it got going a little. Currently I would have to send a zip file... eventually maybe mod.io if I get lucky! Thanks! LeifTheLucky
  10. I just want to check to make sure i have correct locations for portraits/icons and actors for a27, they got moved yes? a27 shows Icon:units/spart/champion_infantry_spear.png actors:units/spartans/infantry_spearman_c.xml a26 shows icon:units/spart_champion_infantry_spear.png (so just add a new sub folder for each civ?) actors:units/spartans/infantry_spearman_c.xml (were there no changes to the actors?)
  11. well im annoyed by the current behavior, but have negative coding experience
  12. very strange, i just double checked somethings and noticed 0 A.D. alpha/binaries/data/mods/public for some the public folder was compressed.... thought that would all happen while installing?
  13. No idea what i did, but ive tried deleting and reinstalling twice.... but i get these errorsinterestinglog.htmlinterestinglog.htmlinterestinglog.html
  14. Ok thats what i thought, so what does that mean, can/will it be debugged?
  15. Is this still not supported in a27? If I change this to true, will it actually work? It didnt in a26. <FormationAttack> <CanAttackAsFormation>false</CanAttackAsFormation> </FormationAttack>
  16. @Stan` I have GitHub desktop... but dont know how to clone the 0ad repo
  17. Ok so Im still realy nub at this. Last version was easier cause i had com mod to build off of... but Im trying to rework historical patch for a27. Although with all the changes ive found ive had to almost do it template by template. I go to the 0ad gitea and download template_unit, then template_unit_support then template_infantry..... its a lot of clicking. Is there a way to download say the whole simulation/template/units/iber folder for example? my speed up the process of what im trying to do and cut out a lot of errors
  18. www.tutorialstonight.com | 520: Web server is returning an unknown error well down @Atrik
  19. ding ding ding we have a winner, chicken dinner!
  20. Ill defintely have to take a look! Otherwise i may go crazy
  21. xml?? its just a txt doc, json i thought? New Text Document.txt
  22. cause now it is saying: expected ',' or ']' after array element at line 17 column 12 which would be "entity": { between the " and : and adding a space there doesnt work. JSON.parse: unexpected character at line 17 column 13 of the JSON data when i try this: requirements": { "all": [ "entity",: { "class": "Village", "number": 25 }, "entity",: { "class": "Town", "number": 2 } ] }, <p class="warning">WARNING: Unknown requirement operator: 0</p> when i try this: "requirements": { "all": [ "entity", { "class": "Village", "number": 25 }, "entity", { "class": "Town", "number": 2 } ] },
  23. I ready it, but again it still so new to me. I took a look and wasnt sure. I spent like 6 hours working on 2-3 templates doing them over and over trying to figure out what was wrong. Im so inefficient at this.
