That's fair, I get that.

You have no idea how excited that is to me. Of course, we're not 100% done (only half the civilizations about), but the stuff we have is in my opinion shippable and things like images and art can be added as we go on.

Hmm, to be honest, I think both are alright as they are right now, but yes, there might still be some more room for improvements. I will note down your suggestions for now; I plan to make another tips-related PR eventually anyway. @Vantha, "huge tracks of land" is a reference from Monty Python's Holy Grail, which is why @Gurken Khan suggested it. It's up to you, but it's a one word change for a reference that's actually if you watch the show.

Well, I assume we need to do this: https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/submission#someone-else-has-put-my-app-on-flathubwhat-do-i-do Then make me, and a few other people as maintainers, at least someone else (just in case I go evil someone can stop me). I would then make sure I understand how the flatpak works, fix the OP's errors, and then we just need flatpak verified. https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/verification Then we'd be good. We can mark flatpak as not as high supported as binaries, just getting it verified would be nice.

I think Flatpak requires you to use GitHub for the manifest it has to be in the flatpak organization for it to work, I think (https://github.com/flathub/com.play0ad.zeroad) But yeah, I'm willing to help maintain it. If we can get control of it and get it officially verified in flatpak. Some distro's like Linux Mint now by default only show verified flatpak apps for flathub. But yeah, I might have to learn some things, but you can count me as a flatpak maintainer I'm already helping to maintain this guy: https://flathub.org/apps/org.feichtmeier.Musicpod

Flatpak maintainer here (not of 0 A.D. but other app) Don't worry about it, the app should still work, it just means the 0 A.D. flatpak runtimes should be updated to a new version. Yeah, don't do that. It's not a flatpak issue. They're just depreciating something. It would be a problem with the flatpak manifest if anything I'm also going to use this and get on my Soapbox, Wildfire Games, take control of the 0 A.D. flatpak, people use Flatpak a lot, (some systems now even only do flatpak), and we might as well give it official support. Wildfire Games takes over the flatpak, I'll be more than happy to help set up maintenance of it and if people don't want top deal with another build system I should be able to tell it to just steal the snap package and turn it into the flatpak. (Though I still don't understand why we support snap and not the wider used flatpak)

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.
