  1. The feet movement of many units and their speed are not synchronised. Like a forward moonwalk. Can be seen best on a low speed setting, but its visible with normal settings too. The woman seem fine, on first glance. Maybe the animation speed should be coupled with the unit speed?

  2. I dont know the balance of your fork, but i'd compare it to the 0ad a23 balance, I'd say it only reflects the strategies the bot uses.
    Persians can be very strong in the late game using cav and the according hero. This of course requires the bot to build his game accordingly from the start towards that strategy.
    Mace had the advantage to get siege fast in their workshops.
    Your analysis is good, but I think this should be generated from real games from players over 1400.
    On lichess for example all games are recorded and are open available, I don't see a problem why 0ad shouldn't collect at least some data, like the civ.
    With this https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/4376 you could generate it out of the logs.

  3. Petition: Nani please add a command that assigns random civs in the game setup, with the option to exclude certain OP and UP civs. Like /civ_random_without civA civB.

    Or even with all civs randomly shuffled, its nice to have a glance at it before the game to see at least if the OP and UP civs are at least evenly distributed, otherwise shuffle again.

  4. wonder - takes even longer than siege

    capture - doesn't work when the cc has ~10 men inside (and even later vs Iber with walls)

    relic - one relic can be send inside the the iber walls or next to cc

    regicide - horse can run around and hide in fog of war

    This option is just to play a normal victory game + end when its futile. This is to save the last unnecessary 15 min. of a game when all is decided.

  5. additional victory condition: have X% (e.g. 50%) more pop than enemy. This is useful, since one needs siege to end every game now. Even worse playing against a bullheaded Iberian refusing to resign. Or when players enter a boom period after a hard battle and the game is already over.

  6. The string "Cassiuellaunos" appears only in simulation/templates/units/brit_catafalque.xml (ignoring all tranlation files). Changing <SpecificName>Cassiuellaunos</SpecificName> has no effect, in my game its still Cassivellaunus. I disabled all othes mods that could interere.

  7. Take Cassivellaunus for example. This version is what appears in my game. When i grep that string (ignoring occurrences in long texts), I can only find it in the pl, nl, cs translations. Changing it there has no effect. In template brit_catafalque.xml its in the Cassiuellaunos version (with an u instead of a v [what i see on the screen]).

  8. Action macros

    Save some commands to a macro and play them when the situation appears (execute order 66).

    Usefull e.g.:

    • you expect a cav rush.
    • you have one to send rams to a fort and another to pull the rams back and repair them, repeat at wish
    • send all cav back (from a raid) to your farmsteads, which have now produced some animals for them

  9. hotkey overlay

    A optional hotkey overlay would be nice to learn the hotkeys fast.

    In particular atm. I am thinking about "add first, second etc. unit type to queue". This might be memorable for the CC, as the first is a women and 4th a cav, but when adding a barrack to the selection the hotkey changes for the unit (as it is not the 4th anymore).

    So in game one could easy see the first 2 times, ok in this building-group makes cav on "V" and in the third time you don't need to look anymore.

    This is also good for newer players to learn hotkeys like next Idle worker is ".", not just the button.

    select all wounded units

    Alt + O should select all wounded units on the map. Alt + . already selects all idle workers on the map and mouse selection + O selects wounded.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    team line style

    Indicate teams with line style on the border. E.g. Team 1 full line "---------", Team 2 dashed "- - - -", Team 3 "- . - . - . -"

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Selective panic

    Alarm mode for selected units instead of one bell for all units. The bell makes no sense when one has more than one CC or even one bigger divided base.

    Just select units near your current raid and raise a alarm that sends women in houses and men in next tower/cc/fort. This should only give the one command and don't need a "stop bell"

    In almost any situation a bell makes more problems than it solves.

    Lets say A gets a cav raid. Bell would affect all workers and the player would never financially recover from ringing the bell. For civs with 3 women house capacity its almost impossible to micromanage "select 3 women - send in one house".
