I just came across this post: It says that all the art for 0 A.D. is CC BY-SA 3.0 and the code/data is GPL 2.0 Technically, the way I'm reading it, the encyclopedia would fall under GPL 2.0. I'm not an expert on licenses, but I think the GPL is not the best license to use for the encyclopedia. We could also license the encyclopedia under CC BY-SA, except it would be better probably to run with 4.0 (because of the additional protections and the fact that it makes you state changes to the work) Alternatively, I think, to be certain that no other game is going to take the encyclopedia for themselves (and not do the research themselves) it might be better to place it under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0. However, I'm open to the C BY-SA Here are the links to: CC BY-SA https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/ CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/

I agree that 0 A.D. shouldn't kill itself (they do need to keep the servers online), however, if some of the money was invested in the game so that it's good enough to post on steam, we could get a large enough player base that fundraisers might be easier. Besides with inflation (which I think is happening everywhere) 0 A.D.'s only loosing money. I'll look forward to seeing the yearly report.

If 0 A.D. has excess funds, why not? It would be good to have illustrations for the encyclopedia, (maybe even get the Open source person who does Pepper and Carrot?) Contracting some programmers also wouldn't hurt, anything. Slightly off-topic, but how much funds does 0 A.D. have exactly?

I appreciate that. I'm not a fan of AI anything. (That is AI large models, not conventional AI) Still, the art does look pretty good.

Did you make the portaits yourself?

You could. Of course, if the new encyclopedia is written, it can always be a separate text.

I don't even have a guess. Did you try looking up their Chinese name?

I want to just point out that unlike how ChatGPT says, Brasidas died around the 400 B.C. He did not live anywhere close to the year 0 A.D. Also, I think the LLM is hallucinating costs for units. It also spends 150 wood when you only say 100. You'd have to get a pretty good LLM to have it not do that with 0 A.D. However, I do like the idea of having customizable AI, probably not for the skirmish because having Athens's always do the same strategy could make the game repetitive, however having AI in campaign act like the actual generals during history would be cool if it would play well also.

Not GIMP?!? Joking aside, how can you have the buttons and everything look exactly like 0 A.D's UI?

@wowgetoffyourcellphone what are you using to design these?

Perfect! On a scale of 1-10 how hard do you think this would be to implement in game?

My vote is in game. If eventually we want to do a manual like the old age of empire ages, I'm willing to help edit it. Maybe we could include it in a 0 A.D. beta special edition with tech maps and some other fun swag?

Yes this is exactly what's needed! Images, text as well as cross links, that would allow us to simplify things so much. Instead of making each article stand alone by explaining the same things we have explained before. Thank you, @wowgetoffyourcellphone I can't wait until this is finished.

The trac is back. Does anyone know what was wrong with it?

I'm trying to work on the article on Han women, and I think a quote from the "Lessons for women" by Ban Zhao would be appropriate. However, there are two problems. First that the books I have and on the internet only have excepts of the book and second you can't quote much of a copyrighted book. The work itself is (clearly) in public domain, and there is a copy of the text is on Wikisource (https://zh.wikisource.org/wiki/女誡 ) The issue is its in Chinese. I've tried using Google Translate and while I can somewhat get an idea on what the work is about, I don't trust a Google Translate to be accurate enough to quote. I suppose what I'm asking is: Does anybody know someone who can translate ancient Chinese?

When I made my mod I messaged @Itms like the how to said, however it was @Stan` who answered

Yeah, it looks everywhere in trach.wildfiregames.com is out. I'm getting a 503 saying Ubuntu: Nice.

I don't know server maintenance but getting emails back up and shutting the trac in the same action seems a bit off. However, there was supposed to be server migrating, so maybe something "small" slipped through the cracks.

Now unfortunately, it seems that the https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ is out. This could be intentional (Moving to Git?) but I just thought I would let people know.

An article for the Han house https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/89#pullrequestreview-1790043617

Today, I started email notifications. One of them was for a post from last Friday, but it seems to be working.

Han farmstead and Corral https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/85 One thing to note, I wrote a text similar to the Greeks for the farmstead (as follows) However, the translation for the structure real word means farmhouse. I which could be taken as "house of a farmer"

I made some changes to the Han field pr https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/79 It's ready to be looked over, then merged.
