That is interesting, however, building placements are already very important in high level multiplayer games: wrong place could lead to inefficient gameplay or the building being captured. Also, houses / barracks are now used as walls to defend against cavalry rush. If barracks train faster when close to blacksmiths, this will temp the player into making economically beneficial but tactically nub decisions. This is good bonus. Before we talk about reworking civs, the navy is completely broken from a balancing perspective, but also from how ships worked.

Unique features = new imbalances

Let's put it this way: even the very slight change in mechanic or stats or addition of a seemingly irrelevant unit would suddenly make an unit or civ OP, and then upset the multiplayers. Currently, it seems that A25 is one of the most balanced alpha, so why don't we use that as a foundation and do small tweaks on it as suggested by the balancing advisors? Then, for excitement, we can add new aesthetics and new maps, which pleases the singleplayers without upsetting the hardcore TG players. We can also introduce upgraded versions of the AI, if the singleplayers fancy a challenge! See Res Gestae mod by nagasushi.

Good idea, although I think 2 stone per second for the Athenians would be more useful to them than wood. The Iberian team bonus is very strong indeed. But don't forget about the Romans and Spartans: 110 health spearmen and reduced train time for infantry - these are no less OP than Iberian cost deduction. Also the Kushite elephant bonus is quite OP for elephant civs as well. These combinations are almost bound to win: Ptol + iber + sparta + rome Ptol + sele + kush + rome Sele + iber + sparta + rome Sparta + sele + kush + rome Seleucids + Ptolemies + kush is actually incredibly OP, because Ptols and Sele can spam colonies and CCs - mass spam mercs and deny enemy resources. Kush allows these 2 to spam elephants. Add in a Rome make them boom faster, or a Spartan to boost their spearman. Also don't forget about Sele elephant hero and Ptol merc hero.

Depends entirely on your PC and what you are doing. Try to detonate 1000 TNT or farm 300 sheeps Not in singleplayer mode. But multiplayer servers might, although they have very good protection against DDOS. Yes. It does. A 1.18 has been released and new cave mechanics have been introduced. Also new mobs and blocks are added to the game all the time. 1.18.1 looks very different to 1.3.1 when I first started playing I don't know what a signal decoder is. The most complicated things I have done are: Iron farm Redstone-powered farms: sugar cane, melon, etc Railways with fully automatic stations Auto-smelter Villager trading machine Mob drop farm Having played minecraft for so many years, I have never defeated the ender dragon in survival mode, not even once! Yeah I am still cosmic nub at minecraft

This happened to me today. Is it because of nub ISP or is there a bug? Note: it happened a lot in Luxembourg but not too often in the UK. As soon as I run Steam, the lobby kicked me and gave me this error when I tried to rejoin.

Anyone who has won a game against one or more AI knows how annoying it is to hunt down the last few women of the AI hiding in some corner of the map. It is a huge waste of time and effort. My suggestion is to allow the AI to resign instead of being defeated completely. Let the AI automatically resign if all 3 conditions are satisfied: Having lost all CCs or territory roots. Less than 30 organic units left The human player still has some territory roots and more than 50 pop. These settings should be able to take account of nomad as well. I am not sure how to code this up. Can the programmers offer any thoughts? @andy5995 @bb_ @Stan` @Silier @wraitii @Gurken Khan since you play with the AI a lot, what do you think about this idea?

Minecraft is not as fun as 0AD but I still like it... just consider being an unit yourself, having to do exactly mining, farming, chopping wood, building, fighting and scouting but all on your own. Consider mobs as gaia... I do agree that Minecraft uses less brain compared to 0AD, which is why it can have a greater player base. Another thing is, Minecraft is counter-intuitive so there is a huge demand for tutorial videos and survival walkthrough. Also speedrunning and DreamSMP attract audiences who just want to spec.

KateGUIv2.0.zip This is an improved version with no errors. @seeh can you make the model chickens pls

Yes, that is a problem cause by my nub blender skills. I just dragged the chicken model to enlarge them and this is what I got The purpose is to make them more visible and easy to click on

This mod is based on @nani's autociv mod, where I made some changes to the gui of the game that can help you in a heated situation: 1. A23 sound effects and amplified sound - you can hear every projectile hit and alarm. 2. All berries and fruit trees are pink - easier to spot. 3. Trees turned into vertical sticks for visibility; no canopies so that you can see anything under them; bushes are also sticks so you can spot them before trying to build anything. 4. Chickens have been replaced with blue peacocks 5. Metal are now bright yellow and shiny - easy to see and be distinguished from stone. 6. GUI tuned to a theme that I like - feel free to change it if you have the assets. I am still working on it and it is incomplete at this stage, but it already works and did allow me spot some sneaky moves from the enemy and micro more efficiently. Many thanks to nani.

P3 mining techs can be useful, because they allow you to have a stable income of minerals despite having only 4 or 5 units per mine. It is a bargain at times since it allows you to field more inf.

jajaja... excuse my nubness, I read 15K as 1500 and no one asked for anything. They just shouted for military support. True, but only if your enemies are nubs and train only ranged units. The hack armour can really save your melee from enemy eles or swordsman.

How? I suppose we can use google docs Too much work lol Feel free to make your own one

0AD guide from nub to OP.pdf @sarcoma`

Sure. Which OS are you on? For Linux users, you can open it in LibreOffice or WPS Office. Actually I typed most of it up in Arch Linux...

Agreed. LetswaveaBook is neither Stockfish nor weirdJokes, as all 3 of these have completely different playstyles. I have never seen Letswaveabook stay off other people's territory for more than 10 minutes weirdJokes likes to make corrals in late game and make ranged champions. LetswaveaBook has never done that (not on my watch). Also letswaveaBook often refuses TGs but weirdJokes always joins them if pinged. Stockfish plays differently to LetswaveaBook and their voices are different in their respective Youtube channels.

Nee! Father is not JC! AlbertBorla is JC, and Father is likely Wally or Phew. I have watched at least 1 1v1 game between Father and JC and they play completely differently. Key indicators of JC: Collecting chicken with women Always playing as the Spartans Concentrating everything at one point and leaving their base empty Shouting nubia nubia nubia and blaming their teammates Anti-vac chat as usual. Hosting on Nubian biome with many relics Father never showed any of these features. Also it is possible that Father is a shared account as their skill and playstyle varied hugely from game to game. There is also 0 point in banning someone as they can just create a new identity for themselves and come back. But JC never tried to hide himself; you can easily tell who he is from his username.

I am probably too nub for this, but, isn't Fedora 35 for free anyways? I like everything about Fedora 35 except its miniscule repo. Just saying, there are some other good players that you forgot to mention, e.g. Noobdude, Hamdich, Havran, Rauls, Fpre (fgod), Father, AlbertBorla (aka JC)

Hey guys, Kate here and right now I have a complete 0AD guide manual that teaches cosmic noobs how to become 1500+ players!! Please suggest improvements!! :)))) From nub to OP.docx

My recommendation: train your units from barracks and gather your own resources instead of calling cheat codes. There are ways to bypass this: 1. Use Atlas map editor to make units fight 2. Use deathmatch settings and very fast game pace so you don't need to wait.

I would like to suggest a more practical version of this challenge with a more meaningful goal that actually helps you to improve you eco performance: The player who completes all of these tasks in the shortest time wins, no matter what build order you use: 1. Have 150 soldier units: can be infantry, cavalry, champions or merc. The other 50 can be women or siege. 2. Research all military upgrades to at least tier 2. Eco upgrade is not taken into account for this contest, but you ought to have some. 3. Get a hero and at least 1 piece of siege weapon or elephant trained. 4. City phase (ofc) and 200pop. Additional rules: Use standard TG settings: 300 starting res, 200 pop, Mainland. No regicide or team bonus or nomad! No taking extra berries or hunting anything other than chicken. Delete your cav when it finishes the chickens. You can make as many women as you want in early game but you have to delete them to make space for your soldiers and siege. Some civs will be faster than others for sure (e.g. Ptols and Athen), so this contest is not to prove that player A is better than player B; it is a place to share good build orders for every civ. Just pick your own favourite civs to boom with. I will only compare 2 players using the same civ or economically similar civs. No requirement on what buildings you build. Don't get rushed while doing it I will make your final armies fight each other in Atlas map editor and post recordings.

Trinitrophenol was me, and trinitrophenol is also known as picric acid, an explosive substance. I was using a comparison between my genuine account and smurf account to illustrate a point. Reyhan is also me. If you saw Sephine in the lobby, that is me as well. I knew posting this thread will get me into trouble so I used it on a smurf forum account. @Silier I apologise for whatever I said that got Reyhan a warning point. But both accounts belong to me, no need to ban this one as well. The list of malpractices in the lobby goes on: some people preach political ideologies and fake news in the lobby. That shouldn't be allowed neither. Some players have usernames of controversial political figures. Others join random games and nub because they are too busy preaching their fake news about some genocide that never happened. When players gather in a game, they want to have a good time fighting units, they don't want to listen to political nonsense or fake news. If they want to discuss these, use private chat or Mumble or Discord.

Get swordsman for yourself. Swords counter pikes. If you see them going for Ptol then choose Spartan and spam Skiritai.

It happens to me as well. But it's not a big problem, just reboot the PC and restart 0ad and it should be fixed. It will break again so just check the player stats while you can see them and note them down somewhere.
