  1. Friendly 1v1 Community Mod Test (FCMT) tournament - when? Instead single elimination, let's make mini league with 4-6-8 players in each group so anyone can play few games before elimitated.
  2. I'd like to add 2 thoughts to basic idea of this post. ( Let's ignore toxic behavior and lack of culture. Which is btw very important, especially in online communication when you can't actually see person's gestures and mimics which can lead to missundertandings.) (1) Vulcan: someone already replied. Performance and lag, especially in TGs is serious problem in 0AD. And devs really deserve to be highly appreciated for their volunter work. Not only on Vulcan... (2) Base idea of this post is to "prioritize tasks". It can be good approach in commercial projects, but in open-source where devs do it for free and for their own soul, that can be wrong sometimes. I think devs should have freedom to enjoy their "work" but off course, leaders must make sure that it doesn't ruin release game. P.S. 0AD is really nice project and huge job is already done and being done. Game is very playable so we should appreciate anyone who does anything to make it progress. Off course, I have many things I'd like to be improved so it becomes more competitive, but I am aware it's not simple.
  3. @FeldfeldNice man! Thank you. This mod is important for competitive games. Metal and other things must be balanced too... but yeah, it's not simple I know...
  4. And tell more about yourself, like are you new in 0ad, did you play some other RTS, credit card number, expiry time and CVS code, name & surname, address , e-mail, gmail password, etc.
  5. Doesn't show up. I am curious how it looks and how people reacted? I think we need such competitive map for 1v1 rated games... Mainland / Mainland balanced has too much of all resources in mainbase, imho.
  6. @Grapjas Does this works with new release? If yes, where I need to install ? Tried in "mods/user/maps/skirmishes/Valleys" but doesn't work.
  7. 0 A.D. - Simple build order and strategy for beginners to win 1400 rating players 5 steps to win most of online games on lower/mid level. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y4e4L_yEH0 )
  8. @_chocolateI've just made video tutorial - check it if you have free time ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Y4e4L_yEH0 )
  9. P.S. a bit more on macro... Produce 50-60 womens, 10-12 farms, make 1:1 or 1:2 ratio of melee:ranged units. Before attack make sure you split womens on food and wood (for example 1:1 for Britons), make ~10 barracks and hotkey them so you can re-produce army quickly. After/durring attack or a little before you can eventually go P2, make 2 forges and market so you can go p3, make upgrades and buy needed resources for P3 stuff. Eventually temple and healers. But this will require some iron miners, too. After that, things on P3 are a bit more complex, but i guess it'd be already gg on most of lower level games if your macro timings are perfect. You can actually have training against Bot. Just make sure you are consistent with timings which you can compare with ones from posted Youtube videos. @_chocolate
  10. Maybe send replay /replays so people give advice? What Rating you play against? For lower level strat is: macro perfectly > make pop cap before opponent > attack > gg (macro is good if you have pop 100 on min 7:30 and don't float or stale resources/houses) Trust me, RTSes are more simple then it looks - it's how it works in most of RTSes on lower levels. On higher level you will need timely tech, upgrades, heroes, take map control, use Catas, etc. .......

  11. Idk what's chicken rush, but I don't worry anymore. Now I improved skills a bit so I can make Cavs, scout and fight if player is not too much better. It can be annoying b/c of hunt unbalance, but that's another issue in 0AD - unbalanced maps... @seeh Yeah booming to P3 is annoying but that's not what happens on higher level games, that's about players skills... And people work on that via Community mod IIRC trying to make p2 aggression more viable (more weapon upgrades) which is fine for me. How to play against weaker players? Well, I can't force others how to play, but I'd say just don't do rushes and stomp them in 2 mins. Either don't play and explain it gently or give them some chance to practice macro and give them chance to watch replays. + some tips. For example I got awesome tip from someone about using ALT to target 1 ranged unit with 3 my units. Guy (forgot who) showed me how that ensure he wins equal fights every time. Advices and gently behavior is crucial I'd say. ........ Another thing, maybe we can think about making more 1v1 tournaments with some quality streams. I guess it's way to advertise game...
  12. @user1 Raffut1969 (1638) left rated game when it was clearly I won (1260). commands.txt
  13. Not sure it will help to this topic, but one thing I was bothered while trying to improve is early rushes (like skipping Storehouse and Farm and making cav) from significantly better players than me. This can be especially annoying when you have more hunt around CC... I saw it's almost normal thing on higher level games but it can piss off beginners. Maybe it's more fair to not even start game and gently say "bro we are too different skills, sorry it will be boring for both of us". I personally avoid playing aggressive when I play against weaker player otherwise. Currently I don't care to be rushed - I want to try to scout on time, but maybe for other to think about. cu guys!
  14. Guys can I increase Pan Speed? I know I can use MiddleMouse but I want also to speed up default movement...
  15. For me 95% of my hostings, people can't join. After that, if I restart 0ad, in 90% of cases it works. @vinmeYou talk about DDOS or "can't connect"?
  16. Huh, sorry. You linked wrong thread but I found on my own: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/67875-ratings-disputes-and-offence-reporting/page/8/#comments (I don't find option to remove the previous message)
  17. Offender: Raffut1969. Reason: Lost everything and leaved rated match without resign. @user1 commands.txt
  18. Offender: Raffut1969. Reason: Lost everything and leaved rated match without resign. I hate him - this was first game I won in 2 days. (Alaric Pularic said he did same to him btw) commands.txt
  19. Anyone tips for this match... I lost twice in row from same BO. He went pop 100 on 7:30. Is this some cheat (he has only 5 ranked games) or Mauryas have so quick boom or 2 barracks is game changer or what...? I've done some micro mistakes but is that really that big considering that I had ranged attack upgrade and stronger ranged units + some spearmans ? What would be your general suggestion to counter this? Do scout and do same BO, ie. delay P2/P3? Make more towers? Make different unit composition? Cav. rush? commands.txt
  20. Hehe, you really enjoy the game. It's fine. Contrary, I like challenge, high level plays. I like work on improving myself and diving into details of a game. I'd say I take RTS games as sport. I'd compare it chess with additional elements of physical (fingers, eyes, mouse/keyboard usage) and mind (fast and proper reactions) plat. I really don't care much about graphics, characters, etc. We are all different, which is nice.
  21. There was a Friendly Tournament few months ago, just for that reason, afaik. It's nice way to test changes and revive 1v1 scene. I'd like to see it. P.S. with the hardest AI you can use boom (Economy Build) and send entire army or place CC expansion in his face and he is dead. Very booring.
  22. Random question: I was told that people can somehow install cheats. I know for option in lobby, but can they do it without that option? How can I prevent that?
  23. Thx for strat idea. 20 clubmen (7.0 crush x 20 = 140) will need 25 sec to kill Britons CC (27% resistance, 2400 health). Until then I will be overwhelmed and die. But anyways, these are all P2 military units which can't collect resources. They would be wipped out with Javeliners who can collect.... P.S. and with this suggested BO, I must pray God to not be attacked into main base without Towers and Fortress?
  24. So I can only sit in base but I need to spam towers and build Fortress ASAP. Sounds strange. Idk what CS units to build with civ like Kushites? Look at my Replay I just had. I had more infantry and caught him a little bit out of position. He had few upgrades true, but it was just massacre with equal armies. Should I've built more Pikemans? (I know I should went P3 but I wanted to catch him and make some chaos and kill few units...) BeTeKushites.txt
