Thanks I was looking for this a while ago.

Hi @Jayanne.Sung, This is a symptom of https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8611 TLDR : Most likely you have the bug where the cursor is not pointing where it should be. Try to restart the game until the black margin doesn't appear. Maybe someone else know a way to open the game that will increase the chances to not have this bug (without disabling full screen that is) ? For me the bug happens 1 time out of 20 or so, therefore I usually just restart the game.

Because upgrades are susceptible to change the proprieties of the production queue etc. So it is only supported to upgrade an entity that has an empty queue be right now, else bad things could happen. I project to make a mitigation for this and allow for upgrades to be queued regardless but not sure how this will go.

Sounds nice! But just side note nobody disagreed here we could make improvements , the issues has more to do with priorities, time limitations, and the fact everybody has own view on what would be best. This option exist but not sure to what extend it's used/customized by players. Maybe ideally we would have support for expanding tooltips to help make it easy to have both summarizing and exhaustive tooltips at once.

My absolute focus on Gitea is to get what I would think of features for the game to feel great. We should get formations actually useful, add some effects like knockbacks, charges, and other discrete unit abilities. It's almost sad to have a game with elephants that anything can get in it's way, when it actually should be the battle line breaker for example. I have my own preferences about how tooltips should be, I like them to be here for you to get any piece of info about how the game works a player would want to know. Each element can provide important insights for decision making. For example here is a tooltip I like for building capture bar: I don't count neither how many tooltips (there are literally hundreds) that I reworked over... multiple times... I don't want to exhaust scarce reviewer time and own on it at the moment, because it's often very subjective as for what's best, so easily a time sink. And the UI can anyway be modded anyway, like you do in DE too. So for the time being that would be a pass for me.

That's already the case but you might have it disabled, check option or it's also a hotkey still "Atl+C". Thanks to @guerringuerrin this hotkey will be unassigned next release as it tends to troll people. Also in the PR i made all range overlay are forced enabled for the placement previews.

Works for all buildings Will do for the PR. Sure, I've just added to ModernGUI so you can pull if you want. If you want to add it to CWA because it helps understand some of your buildings mechanics you can just copy past this file : https://gitlab.com/4trik/ModernGUI/-/blob/master/simulation/components/GuiInterface~auraInBuildingPlacement.js Conveniently holding in a single isolated mod file for you to do so, but of course, unrelated to your request

@Thalatta, some players, and I'm part of them, think some aspect of the game-play like formations should have a greater role in this game. And I'm fairly dedicated to make it happen, as much as the development process allows it. My thoughts are really to try getting the game a bit away from this cheap filling of clicky gameplay toward funnier and mentally rewarding mechanics. But it is the hard path from what I've experienced. Much more work for sure. As you can see, there is also a lot of controversy when it comes to vision on the gameplay, which add up to make the triple combo : more work, slow development, resistance to change. But there are a lot of awesome people in the staff, and in this community so there is no reason to give up on making the game better, whatever the path might be. Now about ModernGUI, the mod itself is bundling the work of plenty of awesome modders, and I did a lot of work too to get it where it is, I don't think it's no longer a small project as the incremental enhancement added to the UI are starting to make it something reasonably cool imho. There are so many things you can explore through the various overlays, hundreds of added stylized tooltips, and added pages. Generally the mod is named only for the "autotrain" who, even if I do like a lot for playing, is a bit clumsy in the way it is currently. I'm currently undertaking a total rethinking of it, that will resemble more to a feature that fit more naturally into the game.

That's often what is brought up but it might be overstated, as you can already have very low clicks per minutes assigned to managing production if you use vanilla autoqueue. From 0 to 5 apm? 5 being if it reset every 10 sec.

Possible. You haven't provided a replay so we're only working with hypothesis. What I described could have mislead you into thinking the units chopping wood were initially farmers. The maximum distance units travel to garrison seems a bit normal. You don't want units to travel half the map if they don't find any hides close enough. Maybe there is way to optimize the behavior however, with better sorting by distance for example. Also the input to ring the alarm is rather limiting...

Didn't recheck but my experience debugging UnitAI tells me that what probably happened was: Your units were actually chopping wood on a woodline further from garrisonable buildings You call alarm so they move all the way into the buildings The exacts trees they were chopping disappeared (chopped by other units : your soldiers) You ring end of alarm so they try to go back to chopping wood, but since the trees they initially were chopping are no longer there, they search new trees, but relative to their own position. Making your civilians start chopping trees at a different place as they were supposed to. Just a likely hypothesis and note for myself (or anyone) when I'll work UnitAI, since that would be fixable.

Since R28, the Mauryas Maidens champions longbows have shorter range. Maybe the logic there is that they are females so weak draw strength? Anyways they do make up for their champion title with better speed and high damage. They also have less hp too thoughts, but overall still a good unit.

https://docs.wildfiregames.com/entity-docs/r28/components/ @Vantha gave me this link a while ago, but no idea where I was supposed to find it.

When you queue multiple houses using the traditional method (Shift + click), units won’t go and build any pending farm foundations until they finish their previously assigned tasks. Civilians don't actually farm on fields unless building the farm was part of their order queue so I don't know what this discussion is about. They might build the unfinished field, but they won't farm it. They will look for another thing to build OR go idle.
