They have to go into it to plant the crops...

Fire + ranged siege. Diverse infantry and champion cavalry... I suppose greek fire and trebuchet are stronger than regular pyrobolos lithobolos

Sounds pretty OP, but I see another set of factions coming along. Maybe make some of these mercenary. Try to distinguish proto-trebuchets from lithobolos and Greek fire from pyrobolos.

Yes, and don't forget about damage to network infrastructure of a whole area

Sorry I don't know what Magic key is... If you want to kill 0ad, try sudo killall 0ad Or sudo killall pyrogenesis You can exit full screen with alt+enter so that you can reach the terminal.

Highest health percentage first. If 2 units have identical percentages, unload melee first. Infantry before cavalry.

Is this official?

Ok 3 pop is fine as well. Palisades are cheap so you can spam them. Sword cavs are OP as well, but you can take them down with spears and javelins.

Yay works with everything at all times.

2GB ram will struggle a bit... Xfce will run fine but not sure if 0ad will... KDE is equal to XFCE in ram consumption by default. However, there are more settings and widgets which can increase or decrease the ram and CPU consumption.

You can download A25b source code from git as well. Just do 'svn up' and it will take you straight to A26 Z---- ehehehe

Another point: stick with the default flavour unless you know the difference between other flavour and default. Git is all source code for sure so will take a bit longer to compile and download. But it is more likely to work even if teh default aur one or repo one is broken. I recommend yay helper instead of pamac. Idk what pamac is lol.. I use pacman as default repo fetcher then yay for Aur.

@Ceres If you use KDE, I think you can create a system monitor wideget on the desktop to monitor it constantly. You can also install neofetch and neofetch some stats. That way you can show swap memory, system load and temperature.

Of course you can install it on a HDD but the performance will be poor. My approach would be, connect all drives, then somehow free up 30GB of space on one of the SSD. Let's call it /Dev/SDA1. So install base system and grub here. But when formatting disks, do it manually and mount root folder on Dev/SDA1/. Then, format Dev/sdc (big HDD) as ext4 as well and mount it as /home. That means your files will be stored in Dev/sdc but system program will be on Dev/SDA1. This way you get fast performance and big storage.

5 pop elephant seems like a good idea to me, because it effectively deters elephant spam. Let champion cavalry take up 2 pop instead, 3 is a bit too much. Citizen soldiers should take up 1 pop. I agree with lowering unit crush armour as that unlocks a new variable we can play with. Just give siege weapons 25x hard counter against buildings. Buildings with high armour also means no more chopping down CC with Merc cav. I don't think palisade walls should be improved. They should be nerfed. Agreed, maybe increase cost or train time.

@Ceres if you want to mount things separately it is easier to install pure arch instead :/ However, you can install EnOS anywhere, although SSD is preferred. With KDE, you can change the directory of your desktop folder to another drive if that's what you want. right click on your desktop, click configure and you will be presented with some settings.

OP = overpowered What I mean is, it saves you a lot of time and effort when installing software, because it handles the dependencies and build commands automatically.

Thanks, a good idea. Enjoy your Arch! AUR helpers are seriously OP.

I think a plausible cause is a contact problem between the USB and the PC while it is booting. It has happened to me before. Just try booting again.

Hmm the first one is very strange. Endeavour OS should only present you with graphical interface and no command line. If UEFI fails then falling back to Bios boot is a good idea. I am just not sure if you will encounter problems when you try to dual boot. If you want to dual boot, make sure you install windows 10 first, then Linux, because windows automatically overwrites everything.

@Ceres I typed up this document on how to install Arch Linux, KDE desktop and set up Arch dev environment for 0ad dev: Arch install guide.docx Please skip to step 15 if you have Endeavour OS installed already.

Ok. Endeavour OS is a good starting point. It is easier to install. However, the setup bit is the same as Arch

@Ceres Do you need me to show you how to install arch? Or can you install it by yourself, using other tutorial videos?

Yes, use rufus to flash the image is the most reliable method. Choose to write in UEFI or mbr mode (just not dd). If you do it right your USB should be named something like ARCHLINUX_2021 Then boot into UEFI mode if your PC supports it. I am making a tutorial video on how to set up arch for 0ad, please stay tuned!

Sorry man, but that is what I initially thought. Again, a poll would be informative.
