that's what i was suggesting, either more damage or cheaper units in some way

will to fight is easier to get as most players build a fort in a team game, and not to mention the amount of resources and time it takes to actually build a wonder you're better off spending those resources and time on making champions as doing all that for a wonder just to get an extra 20 pop bonus is not worth it

I think it would be great if wonders could be buffed because currently the amount of resources it costs to get a simple 20% upgrade to population is just not worth it, perhaps increasing damage, reducing cost of champions or units in general or simply increase the population number by a bit more than 20%, maybe 30-40 maybe even 50% so then it's actually worth getting?

still mad because of my archer cav ?

you can do it manually if you need to do that

they are pretty strong but would be cool as the formation itself is exclusive to romans so would be interesting if it made them harder to hit. Maybe this could be worked on the legion units, the ones you get after getting the upgrade in the fortress?

I ran several tests with the testudo formation and found that it currently doesn't seem to provide any functional benefit in terms of defense. Units in testudo are still taking damage from arrows even when they're fired directly at the shields from the front, and they don’t appear any harder to hit in melee combat either. This could be a great area for improvement, as enhancing the testudo to actually reduce ranged and melee damage would not only make it more historically accurate, but also add a valuable tactical option for players looking to counter archers or hold a defensive line more effectively.

It does sound hard to programme, it looks like units have a fixed range and can hit units no matter what's in the way and to distinguish that would be a ton of work to do.

I'm unsure whether this is just a glitch or an underdevelopment but in real life you cannot shoot arrows, rocks or javelins through a wall. Those rocks aren't paper thin, they look like they could withstand a shot from a Panzer and stand there unfazed like Donald Trump when some loser tried to assassinate him. Anyway, this would be a great feature for iberians as currently it doesn't make any sense how people can shoot anyone within the iberian walls.

I feel like this would be a good feature to have as there is no way to show players results of team games. It would be fun and a lot more competitive if there was a leaderboard system just like how it is for 1v1s. I also think all games should be recorded so you can track how much you've won and lost overall as well as potential other stats such as total kills, champs made etc., regardless of whether it is rated or not, similar to a lot of other multiplayer games. Currently, such feature is only available for 1v1 rated games but most players, especially good ones, just play team games most of the time and there is nothing to show their skill. It would encourage a more competitive environment and would just be a great additional features to the game.

maybe you should consider adding upgrades to the fort, similar to how stone towers are

I understand why people might disagree as if u micro them perfectly they are impossible to hit pretty much so there should be restrictions on how much the soldier can shoot. Like only until 90 degrees or something and then say ur running away u can't shoot.

I feel like chariots need to be changed because barely anyone actually uses them and they have a much higher hit-point than other units so they aren't the ideal choice of champion. The suggestion I'm proposing is to allow the soldier who shoots to be able to shoot at enemies while the chariot is moving. It would make sense for this to work because the guy shooting isn't controlling the horses dragging the chariot so it's actually realistic. I'd like to hear everyone's opinions on this as I think it should be a thing already.

Requirement to stream every game played for money and problem solved

Unsure why this is a thing but as we know there is a limit of how many units you can select (limit 200). Although this isn't a problem for most games, in 1v1s, this can affect gameplay as you can't select all your units depending on how much pop you're playing with.

You don't need to be good to play for money. Instead, you can just play with other lower level players. For example, I see @Norse_Haroldfrequently hosting TG's with lower level players so they could all play for money there and then OP players play against each other to ensure fair matches. In relations to your point about player's considering themselves as friends, I agree with that and you will obviously still be able to play the game for free/how it is now but implementing an opportunity to play for money would benefit 0 A.D. as it will motivate players to improve and grind the game to get better. Maybe wagers shouldn't be implemented straight away, instead we should create regular tournaments (on weekends depending on popularity) where we all contribute to a prize pool like you mentioned. To ensure no cheating happens, we can require players to stream their gameplay and if we suspect them cheating, we can review the footage and deal with it accordingly.

You will get used to losing, trust me, but there would be no better feeling than enjoying 0 A.D. and winning money to go along with it. In terms of players skill gap, we can enforce balance similar to how we do TGs but obviously we will make sure its as balanced as possible. Playing for $5-10 is pretty chill and I don't see why anyone would have a problem with losing a game with that and it makes it more interesting as you aren't totally wasting your time playing. In addition to that, players will be more eager to improve making it more competitive thus making balancing easier in the future.

never said it wasn't, but playing for money is a lot more fun i can say from experience

bruh has no one got money in crypto??

its not the traditional type of gambling as it's based on skill on who will win
