@semoury, Use trading mate. Also, you can use random map where you can adjust the size of the map as you need. Some maps are designed to have less wood as mentioned by @wowgetoffyourcellphone.

Here the video for 1v7 againt very hard AI on mainland map. @ValihrAnt, U need to give second try for this now. If i can do this you definitely can. @Stan`, Hopefully we are making ai better in a27 xd.

Finally defeated 1v7 very hard AI on mainland in 3rd try xd. So, all it take is to stop Ais trading and keep annoying them in middle and you would have chance. the passive attack never works.

So, now sep is over. Any new month where we expect new alpha? or next update :p. @Stan`

Any expected month?

Intiaing this thread to know, when are we planning to release a27? Any date? @Stan`

Don't say that. I had perfect corral only strategy in a25. Now in a26; it's very slow and hard to pull off all becasue cows are not availble in p1. Besides if they are not affordable in P1 then we can add them back in p1, so, people can decide if they want to train or not. Becasue other animal food is collect so fast then you need too many corral to sustain food eco with corral but cows you can suatain with less corrals hence more useful. Honestly I didn't understand the logic behind removing cows from p1.

++ @Boudica. Not sure if plays frequently but I think It will be inetretsing to see him play again.

Add: @Player of 0AD, berhudar , @Havran , Wally in the list. New 1800+ players and good players as well. I believe @FrizaCan also put good effort againt 1800+ players. I can also try 1v1s although I haven't played 1v1 for so long. (last good match was against @ValihrAnt in a23 :p)

Oo, didn't know that. Great. You can add voice too if you want.

Whichever works. Point is to show the info selected by the user. Right now it is not shown, and user have to check each settings again just to check what he has selected.

I think one of change we should introduce is dynamically changing player name and player placement values while chaning the AI diffculty level. Example Scenario: You are playing 1v7 againt AI and you have selected 3 AI as hard and 4 AI as very hard. Currently we show: Instead of this we should show: Right now values are selected in background but no value is shown on Front-end side. @rossenburg FYI. Should be a feature in your mod.

Yes. We can use axe icon there probably. for better interpretation.

It is not a necessary feature but good to have feature. More from asthetics and UX point of view.

Thats why we have wood icon instead of hammer (build) icon for the tree. If tress only purpose is to give wood and we should show only wood icon then for hunts as well we shouldn;t show animal and only meat icon with food value. But showing the exact animal provide better experience to user and also user can relate to it. if fields only purpose is to add food tick and their no need to differentiate beetween rice field and normal 0ad fields, apple trees and other type of food source. This new design point is to show what tree he has selected and gives identity to the selected entity with right info. Now for wireframe I just took atlas image to show the same. It can be designed better way.

@rossenburg FYI. You can also incorporate these changes in your mod.

Make it for the community . I think @rossenburgwould be able to help in making the same. He is working on enhanced UI mod for 0ad.

Can we change the UI for color selection? From vertical line to some square format (4x4 grid) just like any other UI. @wowgetoffyourcellphone CC: @rossenburg for your mod as well.

I was wondering if there will be TG 4v4 Tournament? Last time it was hosted by @Unknown_Player . Maybe host a parallel TG tournament ? :p

One point i wanted to highlight is pathfinding problems with boats when you selection some units and garrsion in the boat. Context: I select a ship doc it at a shore. Now i select some units standing a little further from the ship. When I give garrsion command to units, ship also starts to move. Problem: It take too much effort to doc a ship perfectly on shore becasue it moves here and there for its path finding. Now, when I do garrsioning, it moves to some different location. The ships either will standing somewhere far from the shore or it is going somewhere (game knows where). Becasue of this issue I can't garrion my units, they either doing their own path finding to find the ship or stuck at shore becasue they can't reach ship. Gameplay issues: You won't be able to garrision units, becasue ships get stuck to each other and when they start to move own their own , its hard to manage. Solution: Just don't move the ship. Move units only when given garrion command. If ship is far then it is far, try to bring closer to shore. Give square geometry (analogy for solution) for garrion so, whether ship is stright or left faced or right faced to units, they should be able to garrion. I understand that some player might want ship doing pathfinding as well. So, maybe we can keep it cofigurable with defualt value is keeping ship path finding on.

I think we requested for chat moderator in another threads . We can extend the lobby moderator chat bot to in-game chat as well. Something that can be done easily and fast. Now coming back to Shyft_sierra, sometimes he does trash talk a lot. I can't upload gameplay videos whenever I'm playing with him becasue too much abusive language. I did upload last game while playing TG with him, only to realize how much trash talk he does during game. Although, I don't trash talk to anyone including him, but I think he went extreme to some players in some cases. To prevent such cases, we can work towards extedning lobby bot support to in-game chat. The next level of moderation can be worked upon accordingly.

I believe "for carthage perhaps: -50% mercentary train time." This is historical accurate upgrade actually. Since carthages heavily relay on merce for war. insteand of -50% if we can have -20% train time :p. Anyways good work on keeping track of change on what is agreed and not.

Or just allow players to use faction heroes as their avatar. A simple start.

I think we are not looking at the issue in correct manner. First of all, the reason why this feature was created To stop pro players messing up games for new playes as they disguised as new player and ruin game for them. As for pro players, they want to have balanced Team game or 1v1 match. By knowing who this player actually is, people and host can decide about the player. Now, If player forgot the password and created a new account, player will have no issue on telling who he is. It is actually good for him that people can still remeber by his old account and he can play as known player. If player is not comfirtable with revealing his old account that means he wants to remian as smurf in the game. By releaving the alternative accounts this feature achieve its goal somehow. Although it might have following issue. Wrongly tagging players and so on. - Something that feature will need improvemet and need input from community. And if players think that they are affected by worngly tagging as different player then we might want to explore alternative approach. Using some data which shouldn't be used (maybe, i don't know) - Something that @Stan` can check. To conclude: This feature/mod is giving the solition for which this thread is created. If there is something wrong in the solution then that can discussed and corrected accordingly.

CC/Colony cost correction ------------------------------------------------------------------- I don't think people are ever short of wood in the game. You can find the food and wood floating. We can focus on reducing the stones and metal cost while keeping the wood cost same. Also, comparing metal and stone, metal is more used in the game then stone. So, we can adjust accordingly. So, the cost can be like 500 woods, 350 stones, 250 metal something like that. We can balance it as required but cost for cc should look like. Wood required > stone required >metal required. Same thought process we can have for colony. Alternative approach-----------------------Upgrading the CC----------------------------------------------- You can build the CC with half of the actual cost. Like 250 wood, 250 stone, 250 metal. But it will have half territory range, half garrsion, half capture point. So, most params are half. But once you upgrade, it will have its full effect back. The upgrade can be done with 100 wood, 100 stones and 100 metal. This will not hinder the expension approach and it will not affect currenct mechanics either, i suppoose.
