That’s how I see things. Although indulge me a brief moment of fantasy— I’d love to get the articles verified and reviewed by historians so we know completely for sure that things are true, id hate to have something I wrote spread misinformation

We can just have a list of sources in a readme file if that’s easier, I just want sources somewhere people can find. Maybe in credits too? It’d make in game credits very long

Yes, except I'm going to well actually you. At least in America APA is for psychology and other social sciences, History uses the Chicogo style:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Chicago_Manual_of_Style Being an English snob, I'd prefer to use the "right" way, mostly for fun.

Do you think it would be possible to connect the sources directly to the articles somehow ? I don’t know how but i know if i was a player interested in history I’d love to be able to quickly see where people get their sources.

When it was in my repo we kept the sources pretty organized, I don't think Vantha has posted sources for the article he adds directly to the encyclopedia UI.

Friendly reminder that us Linux users can run the EXE so it isn't!

I think me and @Vantha were kind of assuming that'd be a logical step seeing we already have a UI for an in game viewer. Although once the game get's out of alpha I would love to see a physical special edition like those old boxes of Age of Empires with fold out things and thick manuals.

I always try to turtle up, but before I can get walls up the AI attacks.

We could set it up that the loading screen shows something different if you play single player campaign like quotes

If you could figure out how it might work, a tip showing at start up as a sort of "tip of the day" might be fun

What we do is remove the alpha tag once we're ready and just say its in early access. That works for literally every triple A studio in existence.

I even think that list can be pared down, some of the tickets (namely this one: https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/4342)) Are kind of silly

I can't double-check because I already made the changes, but you might be right.

It was on my profile page and when I went to settings it was set to public I am almost certain. No harm done though I had the same thing happen to the last two gittea instances and checked that first .

Otherwise though it seems to be working fine, and now I know how everything works!

Request, can we switch it to default not show email addresses. I had to scramble to hide my email address hidden.

A long time ago. Probably need to do it again. I have no connections whatsoever with any of them but that might be a way.

I also think for the best campaigns we need support for all kinds objectives ie gat 800 wood etc as well as dialog and cinematic support in a very easy package. (Also basic scripting) Back to marketing I have two random and silly ideas. Idea number one could we team up with some of the other open source games and make a short of group project for advertising. idea number too which might not work could we talk to one of the Linux podcasting networks Tux digital or Jupiter broadcasting and do something with them? Also off topic is there any podcasts specifically about open source gaming?

Update on my side. We decided to wait on customizing on the existing articles until the encylopedia UI is in game, so in the meantime I'm starting pre research for the next civilization. (We might not have finished with the Hellenistic civilizations, I don't know, but I decided to start pre research for the Gauls and Britons. I want to try to use primary sources, so it might take a while.

Now hold on it's been more than 3 months... and flagship feature? You give us too much credit. Although @Vantha's new UI when finished is going to be REALLY cool. I think the naval update I heard @wowgetoffyourcellphone was working on to be more of a flagship feature. (Didn't mean for that to be a joke, the navy update if it's actually happening (I hope it will) will be cool. Talking about social media, quotes from the articles + screenshots and art would be a really cool marketing material I think, like one a day or so leading up to the alpha with the encyclopedia. (Maybe this alpha? Don't know how long the encyclopedia UI will take to be merged, but after that it won't take too long to get the roughly half of the game's articles in it.) I didn't see that on our website, did you mean the linktree? I'll write them if people will do the technical stuff and map design. I have an outline for a tutorial somewhere... I can help with at least one third of one of the three things we need to get done.

I was going to report that Trac is down right now... So is this people doing it one day early, or is Trac going to not leave without a fight?

I can edit a comment and add naughty stuff . I’ve been watching spiffing Britt and have been playing with exploits .

I'm not talking about moderation as much as support. People like helping other people. I don't know enough about moderation to speak about it, sadly.

I don’t actually see that as a problem if we get more community members. Naturally they’ll start helping with that stuff. in the meantime basically there’d be a few devs who just need to be @ed after the community stops triaging (that already happens now )

So what if we picked the biggest discord and granted it the status of "official community discord" have the people extended it and put a link somewhere on the website, then for anyone who wants to use discord they can. Because I think just a discord link for gamers/newer devs might be useful. (I will not be using it because I like the forums better, but I think it's a tactical choice that is needed.)
