Thanks for your response! Glad to hear that, I therefore eagerly await those welcome improvements, so that the game gets once again like before and as enjoyable as it used to be...

Well, I hadn't intended to participate in this thread, but given the frustrating skirmishes I've experienced lately, I feel compelled to do so... I suppose something like this has probably been mentioned before, but I need to say it anyway... In my opinion, the AI is severely unbalanced in the current version 28. It makes no sense that in some matches enemy civilizations put up hardly any resistance and are a pushover to defeat, while at other times they spread like ants and churn out a swarming army so quickly that you don't have time to recruit defensive units. Especially when you're playing on Easy mode - which isn't exactly easy, at least in certain situations and depending on whether the game itself decides to be a total @#$% or not... And if you play in teams with AI allies, it’s a total toss-up: you might get pro civilizations on your side that build a strong economy and fight effectively, or on the other hand, become complete incompetent AI players who can't even gather basic resources on time... I remember perfectly well that the old version 23 also suffered from this problem; in certain situations, it seemed as though the CPU was cheating somehow, managing to amass massive armies that would focus-fire on you far too early and leave you crippled for the rest of the match... Then after version 24 and subsequent versions, up to the penultimate version 27, that behavior was rectified; you could very rarely lose a match on Easy mode - the one I usually play. But as soon as the current version 28 came out, things went to hell - back again to the same annoying behavior, and I’d even say this time become worse than ever... The thing is, if you want a real challenge, it should only be available on the highest difficulty levels - from medium on up. You just choose it, right? But it makes absolutely no sense that, even when deliberately choosing to play Easy mode - simply to have fun and a good time- there are matches where the enemies become like a darn army of indestructible soldiers that obliterate your city like a magnitude 9 earthquake. This unfunny lack of moderation can overwhelm and frustrate the amateurish player, and even lead to rage-quitting, consign the game to oblivion, or ultimately, uninstall it from the PC for good... It is just a pity that such a beautiful and entertaining game gets ruined by this aspect, so I believe the developers should lower the bar again for the lower difficulty levels in the next release...

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind for next time! In any case, hopefully this little glitch gets fixed by release 29, or maybe a possible 28.1 patch...

Hello, it's been a while since I logged in here... I thought it appropriate to make the following bug being known, which I recently discovered playing vs CPU. I don't know if it's been reported before, so if it has, I apologize... Well, the thing is, while playing a 3v3 game with Persians on the "Fortress" scenario, I had the idea to garrison the walls of my base with several units of immortals, in their 'archer' mode. I defended myself against enemy invasions in that way for some time, until I decided to attack one of the enemy bases... The thing is, I make all the immortals in my base switch to melee mode, while they were still up on the walls, and in the most unexpected way -once ungarrisoned- they remain "floating" in the air, as if they were still perched on an invisible wall... I tried switching them back to their long-range mode, but they were still hovering in the air like dragonflies... Obviously this shouldn't happen, so I imagine the developers should fix the issue accordingly for the next release... That's all for now, and thank you for your attention. In case you need more information, please let me know... See you!

Hello Freagarach! Well, seems I'm a bit late with the recent translation issue, 'cause the patched installation file has been released rather quickly... Anyway, I'll try to report any further bugs I may encounter in the game. Thanks!

Hello, here are some suggestions that I have found on Wikipedia, they are mainly deities from the ancient Near East: Levantine (Canaanite) gods: Yam Yahweh Yarikh Arabian gods: Ya'uq Yaghūth Yarhibol Yatha Hope you find one of these names useful!

Downloaded right now the most recent patched release, trying it again ASAP... Many thanks to the programmers for fixing so quickly the Spanish language and the garrison issues!

Hi there! Yup, I've also noted this strange UI behaviour when I just re-installed this afternoon the latest game update, 'cause I also use the Spanish translation. I thought at first that the game was not correctly installed, but after reading this thread I have already understood what was really going on... Awaiting then for a patched release file or a possible small hotfix, whatever is most convenient... Thanks for the report info and keep up the good work!

Hi, my name is Hexereticdoom, and after some time about thinking it, I finally have decided to register and enter in Wildfire forums. Also, coinciding that in this present day a new big and important release of the awesome game that is 0 A.D. has come out in shape of Alpha 24, I have thought that it is a good chance for trying to help as much as I can in terms of the game and also reporting some possible bugs that I find along the way. (Although my main language is Spanish, I can also speak in English without any problem). Greetings everyone, saludos a todos!
