I haven't a single idea how the balancing thought the new naval was a good idea. Ram Ships are def OP broken, any civ that doesn't have either fire ship or ram ship is inherently in a worse position than an enemy who does have them. This is ridiculous: HOW DOES GARRISON NOT AFFECT THE SHIP AT ALL? How is the speed of a ship manned by 30 crew the same speed (slower if the one you're chasing has one single stupid upgrade and you don't) than an ungarrisoned boat? How does it make sense?
Wait, even if we COULD double the player base, can 0AD even handle it? I mean, just a few days ago the multiplayer lobby went down,, which makes me question how many people the game can actually handle
and, in the first place, why is it impossible to push an update to the current alpha? alphas are meant to be in active development, aren't they supposed to be getting regular changes? why stop after one alpha for so many years ?
