How’s the performance? If I recall the reason the devs were hesitant to add something like that was because they didn’t think it could run well.

Yeah sorry my bad

Have you tested the performance of having for teams? Does it work? If I recall there's an issue on the gittea where they were hesitant to expand the amount of players because of performance.

If you want you can try to finish some of the 70% done new animals here are a few https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/1983 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/1993 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/2003 there's most of the info in the forum post that the issue links to.

With now a model what else needs done to get this in the game?

I'll see what there is. If you can animate / model there are a LOT of animal models that are 90% done and then can be added to the game.

That would be a LOT of issues probably at least a thousand of the 1.6k issues we have

Oh, that's a good idea. I'll put the reason I close the issue in the issue itself so we have it. I may also compile some of the bigger/ cooler issues here for people if they want to pick up

The issues are all already public and if you watch my public activity on the gitea you'll see what I have closed

Looking through old issues there are a lot that are either old and out of date patches, design suggestions that need to be discussed and nobody has for 10 years, or units / creatures that were worked on in the past and haven't been touched for a while. If nobody objects I propose we make a project for orphaned issues with patches and existing work, that I can put them all in, so people can find them (and maybe eventually pick up). I can also close them if we want. Also I may start closing older issues that are just gameplay and balance suggestions that nobody seems to want to discuss. Again if i close something important, let me know and i'll unclose it !

It looks amazing! I think what would be great is if a feature like this had some kind of knock down effect for foot soldiers. That way an elephant could run into units, know them over and deal them damage. The ones who aren't dead will then be able to get back up like the trample effect in Battle For Middle Earth.

this looks great,we should add it to the main game!

If there's anything the rest of us can do to help, let us know.

Sounds lovely!

I guess I never got that memo...
