Maybe we can remove AIM MSN ICQ Yahoo Skype from the profile since they are no longer relevant?
Could add in my Yahoo! and Skype details, but doubt if any of ye here would do due communication with yours truly through either?

Haven't been editing my Profile in a while, but now there's a red asterisk beside the Lobby Name parameter:
Never been in the multiplayer lobby, though. Just wanted to expand the About Me and that above stops me from updating my profile; can't leave blank. Any ideas? Could put either "N/A" or "Carltonus", but it would put the Lobby Name label on my forum posts.

Do you have a suggestion?
I do have, and it is most direct of translations: "Chosen Hoplites".
Though, the gear (actor) is in the Iphicratean fashion... might as well make a separate Champion hoplite to let players decide on either the speedy or the bulky. The latter is what I suggested as logades on a thread from long ago.

do you have feedback for me?
For the faction to be in a future Release, match the art-style of official factions? brush-work, that is. They do appear similar to certain Rise of the East factions...

Why is it that Spartans have two separate buildings for heroes and champions?
Would assume to be in parallel to the Athenian faction with their Prythaneon and Gymnasion, respectively. Between alpha somewhere and 27 the Gerousia had been but an Atlas-only structure.
On 21/02/2025 at 2:11 AM, Seleucids said:Could we add champion skirmishers back to one of these buildings, and possibly some kind of archer / slinger unit?
Since 24 the stoa units were overlooked, gameplay and art-wise. My suggestions to both Skiritai and Iphicratean champion skirmishers fell on deaf ears. Helot archers and slingers are wonderful additions to the main game, if not Cretans for the former.

Suggest changing the Ballista's GenericName to "Stone Thrower" as in some previous Alpha(s)?

This could be a temporary work-around, set your army in-formation to Standground stance and command them to move towards enemy

With the release of the final-named "Alpha" 27, just spotted an oversight regarding the Gerousia and Syssition tooltips. The TL:DR is that the latter no longer trains Heroes per previous Alphas with the revitalization of the former.
Part of a new round of changing GenericNames and SpecificNames, among others; the current progress on Gitea: Personal naming branch to be added a separate Pull Request.
Edit: Can the final Greek alpha be rendered in SpecficName as "-ā" (per Wiktionary) or no need? It has been done for the Spartan villagephase, and will affect a lot of Hellenic entities if be done.

The very hard Petra AI on both sides didn't bother to capture the nearby fire altars ("Shrines", not temples), the "rotary mills", or the trading posts. Also, the siege engines seem to have torn down the stone fences enclosing the farms.Thoughts and potential fixes?

Current progress on Gitea: Pull request
Still waiting for the "diacritics inconsistencies" examples requiring the fix... you mean like this "Redundant acute accenting it seems, even in Doric Greek"?
-
Am curious, were you playing from a previous Alpha or read the "siege engines trained in Fortress" somewhere?

Able to replace some Unicode characters with typical ASCII counterparts on the Main wiki page.
Also made a proof-concept entry for the Han civilization, it just needs some additions based on the Trac counterparts. On a side note, @wowgetoffyourcellphone: what are the Chinese characters used in the term "Wu Wei Yin", and any basis for the Sun Wu Trouble Freeing Forces?

Am ready to help on this "Gitea" fork, how do I at least begin? Don't want to lose my Trac data since I have contributed much on the wiki and added a handful of tickets...

Has the Seleucid cavalry javelineer portrait been updated to not have the duplicate Achaemenid Persian counterpart?
Also the Dahae horse-archer to distinguish with said counterpart now called "Parthian".

Just to let you know that the current actor used for the Champion "spearman" is in the Iphicratean manner (gear and all), not a mere typical "elite" force in the literature you provided.

As Nibbles said twice in Tom & Jerry, "C'est la guerre!"; well, c'est la vie to all of us...
Am grateful for your service to the free world; 0 A.D. will never be the same again after this passing of torches.

Stupid question: What happened to those 4 ships? We're now 5 years later, and while there is a "Viking Longship" in the game, there is no trace of any of those very nice models...
They're all in the Norse faction in the Millennium A.D. mod.

good news: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D4736
It has reasonable changes for the next alpha, but will the reformed Spartan Pikemen be of good use in the future? A further suggestion could be a forked technology for city phase: one for traditional and other reform; the latter will have the pikemen, walls, and three new heroes of the late era, among others. Another distinction for the Spartans!

Please, please, please: have a look on the progress for the debated "Iphicratean Reforms" first!
Currently a deadlock.

Are the Macedonians in 0ad set before or after Alexander the Greats conquest of Persia?
From just looking at the three playable heroes, both.

What kind of aura do you suggest for such a relic?
Starting off, and to be fair, the "main" faction catafalque should be one of the more-notable Buddhist saints, such as Ānanda (highly-knowledgeable/bahuśruta: slight decrease in training time of citizens and monks, treasurer of the dharma/dharma-bhaṇḍāgārika: reduced glory and maybe other costs of certain technology/research) or Mahākāśyapa (ascetism/tapasyā: monks/priests healing rate and walking speed bonus, at the cost of around 1/4 to 1/2 of healing range when in range of catafalque; first patriarch/???: technology research time decrease for temple and maybe other structures). But generic śarīra (other eight disciples?) can have a common bonus of slight increase in healing (for monks/priests), attack (melee warriors), and harvest/collection (citizens) rates when in range of the "catafalque" (community/sangha/saṃgha), and glory trickle (veneration/pratīkṣā). A set number of relics can also be placed in different locations as map elements, outside of capture the relic mode.
If conflicting accounts of the Gautama Buddha's life can be dated to around the 0 A.D. era, he could be the main or Atlas-only catafalque, otherwise his wife or son; specific bonuses to be determined or based on the generic.
