Pro players should also feel a bit more responsible for the community and not just focus on playing with each other.
good call. Every time I've witnessed a top player losing a TG, they would start complaining and behave toxic. Bro, chill! It's a team game, not all eyes are on you!

Well as long as we are in alpha stage, this is expected. I don't think that's bad personally. The game would feel carved in stone otherwise, and since its gameplay is not that rich, that would be bad I think.

one thing about these AI generated portraits, is that they are pretty flat in terms of facial features. I can't quite pinpoint why, but they all look pretty much the same. I guess they lack the hand on an artist imprinting on each of them a different impression of each character.

honestly I think that opensource is a good mean, and it's not failed at all, in fact you can notice nowadays how many cutting edge project are still being released with OS licenses. But it's a mean, not a goal. The way our world works, OS is not the beast mean for making games and there is little point in trying to make a game that is completely OS just for the sake of it.
This completely random opinion said, because 0AD is open source, it will never die. Anyone can revive it anytime. If there is interest, things will happen. Otherways, they can still happen later on, as long as there is someone that wants to make them happen.

So basically allow the user to customize the 'order selection 1 by 1' hotkey (2 by 2, 3 by 3 etc). Perhaps the scroll wheel would be good for this as it is in batch training, although i'm not sure how the change would be communicated to the player.
maybe just a setting. that would mean it can't be easily changed during a match, but that's hardly a problem. a setting of two units per command seems an improvement already, and a better choice for most players than just one unit.

Nah, it's not so bad. I usually play against four average AIs (and with one ally); of course I don't welcome uninvited visitors, but from ~minute seven you kinda have to expect them. That's why I try to rush to p2 around minute six, start building defensive structures when I reach it and try to have a basic army at an intercepting position. (CS working front wood, wood-women and farming to the back...)
actually, p2 is a waste of resources if you are going to fight soon, just train more cs.

Once sniping becomes a more nuanced approach, like how I expect things will turn out after my melee rebalance patch, it will seem silly to implement an auto-sniping feature with so little interest in sniping.
when will we see the next rebalance? do we need to wait for the tbd a27 release? is there a reason community mod is not being developed anymore?

Guys, where i can download that auto-snipping mod?
no one ever made it, that I know of. I'm not modding anymore.

you can kick players from your game entering '/kick playername' in the chat prompt. you can prevent them from rejoining by using the keyword /ban instead of just /kick.

I'd advise you to not try to organize anything on august. It's vacation time for many of us. Personally I will not see my teammates for another couple of weeks or more.

AFAIK Musk was already a proficient programmer at the age of 15, developing commercial solutions. So, regardless of how wealthy he was, I'm pretty confident he wasn't picking fights on the street lol.

if I recall well, it's about the actual father. it's a political title meant to give legitimacy to a ruler linking them to the father.

I think "Philopater" loses something in the translation to English for sure ("Father Loving"), and is a bit awkward. Do you think "Father Honoring" sounds better?
honestly, I think father-loving sounds perfect, although maybe I prefer the original greek, because it's really a title that loses meaning without cultural and political context.

why is ptolemy iv "father loving", while cleopatra is "philopater"?
btw I'm loving the 10-pack of the egyptian slave.

the communuty mod has nothing to do with the release halt.

I believe the easiest way to do it would be to make a custom map (can be included in a mod) that gives commander role and powers to two of the eight players.
in general, I think it's fun to have different maps that propose different kinds of player collaboration: for instance you could have a map where one player for team (and only one) is given the means to always be raiding the opponent team eco, while the other players are given other roles, like defense, eco, expansion, and leading the big armies.

not at all! I had suggested something like this for boonGui some time ago (in the upper table).

a transparent process would be nice I guess, but mainly the moderator job should be to defuse and de-escalate. Norse-Harold knows the theory but how is it going in practice? is flame and problems really getting to new highs?
remember you can't really keep someone out of the game and community.

Yeah, thats why I think the best verdict here is to allow its use as a mod but allow hosts to ban it and consider it cheating in competitive games.
please, if there's any quarrel about cheating in a "competitive game", please do post the replay on the forum, and the screenshots of the discussion.

among my friends, two use proGUI/proResize and two don't. We are always having fun.
I can't see why you are so concerned, the game stays good, the competition is still fun. We make TGs and players come back game after game, even though the four of us always make one team.
even in rated 1v1, if someone enhances their ability with mods, they will be easily discovered. of course two can also agree to play a game with fair use of mods, rated games can be played with deathmatch resources, or with revealed map, so what's the bother is some want to play it yet another way.

mmmh I don't want to be judging without merit, but this seems like bullshit. Steel requires advanced metallurgy, not just adding carbon to iron like it's a Minecraft recipe. Besides, iron in nature is not pure. I'm not an expert though.
