I think you don't like the calls to "nerf" units , but that doesn't mean making the game more boring, to the contrary : what MPs players don't really like are too anchored 'metas' that make all games a bit too similar... Because one build or tactic is too hard to counter, and that therefor a players can repeat it regardless of the opponent being aware of what you he'll do. Ideally strategy, improvisation, adaptation would be rewarded over mechanically applying a cookie cutter build. You get a better experience from a game where you have to use your brain, teamwork, rather then just trying to be fast fast at spamming broken champ cav for example. Idk how exactly that translates for SP, probably just not being incentivize to make an army of 1 unit type, because it's stronger and isn't at risk to be countered, is already kinda giving the game an extra dept. Pretty sure that it's universal that players play RTS for the Strategy part (Even if I've been told that "Real Time" means it should be about being fast clicker or what not).

This was a symptom of A27.0, check if you downloaded the latest version of the game that address this bug : A27.1

That was the case in previous alphas. It forced on the 'get sieges and attack' build. This alpha we see a wider variety of builds and team strategies in TGs. It also introduce a interesting balance between optimizing fields, and having to protect your CC with a bit with other buildings (A cc surrounded by fields, have no reasons to be hard to capture). Your base is not protected by default against an army if you have no defenders. You can still build defenses (palisades a few towers are rather cheap and can help tones) that will give much more time to get allied defenders to your base. There is a wider skill gap now (and that isn't some clicky boring mechanic) about defending tactics. You need to put best units in buildings, you need to know how to play with the greed of your enemy who'll try to capture your buildings... I love turteling this alpha, because buildings are very strong, but it stays dynamic and interesting, due to not having every single building having to be rammed down. Overall when capturing was impossible, game stalled much more often and that wasn't so fun. Sieges are useful in many situation, but are just no longer mandatory to take out a CC if you have much more superior forces in enemy base.

Only the right panel is a tiny bit larger (+35px or so). It's mostly icons being larger, maybe giving the impression it has be scaled up. However it's reasonable to not find it to your tastes still. I don't understand why would you do this if you have a small screen.

Hi @diagonalo! Thanks for your work on this mod. Since I recently worked on these panels for ModernGUI, I though I could try to see if they would be fit for your mod. @guerringuerrin also maybe wish to use or/and play around with these panels so this might help with a more minimalist mod to check out. In my version bellow there are a bunch more files modded there compared to the original mod for a26, however... You can see the changes bellow: BetterUIA27.zip

CallToArms unit action was meant to be usable in combination with the 'unit only' hotkey modifier. However it doesn't work anymore / never worked. I find CallToArms to be extremely useful, but when your units start attacking buildings, that can be very annoying. Most players I know remap the most hotkeys possible to avoid units attacking buildings in any circumstances. Here Is a mod I use to make CallToArms to by default attack units only. CallToArmsUnitsOnly.zip Note: This doesn't really fix the action, as it overwrite the default behavior entirely rather then fixing the original bug, however I'm sure no players ever want to use the normal attack-move that also make units attack buildings, so it's intended to simplify the hotkey usage.

Don't understand why would this be the case in light of what @hyperion and @ffm2 said.

With autociv you can create any hotkey you can dream of almost, and most buildings have default ones. For buildings just check hotkeys after installing. If you search for a hokey for house, you'll need to search "house" because it won't be translated.

Wasn't there another tool someone made that was more visual and less overwhelming then templatesanalyzer to read and compare templates? I though I remembered seeing it but I can't find with any search.

I'll just add that the mod also fix the related map-scripts bug, which: can't often not be mitigated by changing map settings can be mitigated by disabling persistent match settings (I think?) This bug for example triggered water levels rising on any map after you player the Flood map.

sanafur: 99 +100pts for trying to make archers build works -100 pts for making archers when enemy is spamming champ cav +100pts is nice and teamworks -1pts cause he doesn't deserve perfect score

Yes, also seems for-now that a27 or a27.1 makes no differences.

The host kick players 1by1. Then once the buggy player leave, simulation run again, once he rejoined, the game is stopped or incredibly slow (slower then x0.1). This never happens mid game, it's always at game start, but the player can rejoin and he'll still stop the simulation.

Yes that's exactly the symptoms. IIRC I've already been that player who slows the game and I didn't experience any lag, not network, nor pc. Every time this happens, the buggy player doesn't believe others when they say he is lagging ("My cpu is at 15%" "I've just run a speedtest"). But kicking him out clearly solves the issue. It really happened to a very wide variety of players, and with enough occurrences to believe it's a bug of the game rather then any external factor.

Done, you were right. I was waiting to get the url of this thread to add it in the mod.json but forgot.

This mod fix the seed and mapscripts bug loaded persistently. Idk why I or nobody did it before... ResetSeed.zip

Could or could not help idk, it's not network related.

Playing with stats it seems the "Bonus acceleration" for garrisoning rams doesn't actually applies Movement and turn rate does thoughts. @real_tabasco_sauce Edit: ah someone already noticed actually

If you experience screen freeze/0ad freeze it might be a different issue, I believe in the case I describe the player can still control the camera for example. The above also seems to happen 1/10th of games.

Yes done lol How did you make your calculations? (Is there something that seems intuitive but actually means something else entirely for you ) Should be : Add all arrows * Arrow damage / Interval (5+(3)+(7))*(8+(3.5)) / 3.5 = 15 * 11.5 / 3.5 = 48.xx

Nice! I wasn't sure the colors made sens to me only because I made it or if they did indeed add that little touch that makes the tooltip easy to read! I find colors codes often easy to understand even when never specified, like in 0ad, Blue for CS, Green for Merc, Red for Champs in unit icons, one can spot the pattern very fast and it never needs to be specified. So for buildings, I use blue for garrison bonus and green for techs, and it (should be?) easy to understand. Right? Worse cases if you don't get it, it doesn't diminish much the readability. y ok I was very slightly preferring this too.

A27 has a new bug that occurs, reasonably often where a player will make the game freeze or incredibly slow. What we currently observe : This isn't some kind of lag, the player won't experience network, nor cpu lag when this occurs. Since this isn't creating any logs, how can we help document this bug?

Same feeling about the vague description of this tech...

@guerringuerrin does inline rly make it better? I'm kinda neutral on this. However I also wanted to wait to show the color scale idea depending on upgrades, inspired from @Dakara idea but trying to keep it agnostic of how upgrades currently works (tiers would also make limited sens if you have WTF for example). Above, p3 upgraded spear vs p3 + wtf. Below p1 upgraded camel + Cleo aura. Thoughts? Edit For buildings. I don't know if colors are confusing or actually helps. I like them.

I love the idea, however the current stats are displayed agnostic of sources of the bonuses. I'm still going to try to see if a grayscale of the icon (proportional of the bonuses amount) can look good.
