Probably longer, but as nimble, versions of this boat existed too. Maybe you can use two sizes of the same boat type. Yeah the merchant ships are probably too large.

First, of which civ are we talking about? The Cimbri ? The Suebi ? The Germans ? The oldest evidence we have for boats is obviously the Hjortspring boat (around 350 BC). But this is a more nimble boat, carrying approx. 20 men and without any sail. The other major find is from the Roman (imperial) period, circa 320 AD, the Nydam ship. This is larger, for 30 men, but without sail as well. The first evidence for a sort of longship with a sail could be Kvalsund II, but it is not certain, it is disputed. Anyway it is dated around 780 AD so clearly too late. The first undisputed ship with sail and looking like a Viking ship is the Oseberg ship, circa 830 AD. I looked what the literature says on the topic, it seems to be in agreement with the few I know: Source: https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/european-journal-of-archaeology/article/earliest-wave-of-viking-activity-the-norwegian-evidence-revisited/C2A3AB5F0C962CFB700EEAF24970BE49 Not compatible with 0AD. The EB team requires the explicit permission for each asset and for each use. It is not open source.

This is what Europa Barbarorum did for the Suebi, they took inspiration from one of these bracteate to make a simpler version (top right):

Gold Bracteates from the migration period:

Hoplites means 'men-at-arms', this is a generic word. Swordsmen could be named something like Makhairaphoroi, aka 'makhaira-bearers', makhaira being a popular one-edged sword. It is generally a secondary weapon yes.

Technically, every civs should have swordsmen from the start. Even the Hellenistic civs.

Another video about the issue:

That's true but at least the people and the state identify themselves with the Egyptians and the people still share a large ancestry with them. Obviously the Arab domination left a huge legacy on modern Egypt and its people. Anyway the purpose of this figure I shared here was simply to show there are periods during 0AD timeframe when Egypt was independent.

This issue could happen with LuaJIT as well no? It uses a garbage collector too. Although it is right there is a limitation per process. LuaJIT also had issues with memory limitations and 64bit adresses in the past. It became mature only recently. I know web-browsers and a few web apps are putting a lot of energy into WebAssembly. Is there any consideration for AssemblyScript to speed up a few calculations without removing the whole easy-to-mod philosophy?

A bunch of interesting issues closed on gitea, showing all the work behind the curtain: Stuttering and low FPS with Alpha 27 #7589 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7589 Add workaround to turn off nursery size heuristic #7736 https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7736 Incredible investigation by @Langbart: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/7714 I'm sharing this just to give a little visibility to the work and problem-solving done by the team.

Is JavaScript really the bottleneck? Are there specific cases where JavaScript is the definite cause of a lack of performance in a mod?

Nope

Browsers will probably continue to receive security updates for a few years. Windows 10 won't disappear in October, numerous companies will continue to use it and pay the extended support. Google Chrome supported Windows 7 up to January 2023, 3 years after the end of the regular support. Google stopped to support Win7 exactly when the extended support ended. So most of the apps are getting updates up to 2028 for Win10.

Well, if you want an old gaming PC, you will have more option with Win10 than with any Linux. And in all cases, a SSD is just a massive increase in comfort and performance for a cheap price. Whatever if you go with Windows or Linux, a SSD changes considerably the experience. The end of support for Win10 will mostly concern Microsoft integrated features and Microsoft cloud based apps. Most of the programs and application will still run on Win10 for a few years. Even if you are getting a new Win11 laptop, upgrading your Win10 laptop would be a good option to increase its longevity. If you want to try Linux Mint, you can put it on the SSD directly and like this you still have the HDD with Win10 in case you change your mind. Yeah it looks fine. Just check you can open the case of the laptop and change the disk drive easily before buying it. And verify the HDD is a 2.5 inch form factor, generally it is the case but it is better to check. Ah and something else, you don't have bitlocker activated on the Win10 laptop? If it is a home or familial edition, it is generally not the case.

Ah ok. No Linux Mint works fine with HDD. It is quite similar to Win7 in terms of performance on HDD. Although I think there is less risk in transforming your old Win7 laptop into a Linux Mint instead of changing your wife's laptop. Now that you specified this HDD issue on your wife's laptop, I would clearly suggest swapping the HDD for a SSD (SATA). This is something I did for my wife a while ago, it is not that complicated. And SSD are cheap. You only need to do a clone copy of your wife's HDD.

Either we've misunderstood each other, or your wife's laptop runs on a HDD too.

For the old laptop yeah, Linux alone is okay. About Office, it is depending on how much you are using it. LibreOffice is a fine alternative. But if it is a Win7 laptop, you are probably using an old version of microsoft Office anyway. Yeah, don't leave nerds unsupervised, or they'll create something overly complicated. I don't think that's really an issue, it is easy to use the flatpak, which is up-to-date with alpha 27. https://www.linuxmadesimple.info/2024/10/how-to-install-0-ad-on-linux-mint-22.html?m=1 https://flathub.org/apps/com.play0ad.zeroad

That's ok. This is really an old and low-end laptop but it should still work with Linux Mint, just choose the XFCE edition. Yeah it is much better. You can keep using Windows 10 after the end of the support. The only issue is with the integrated OneDrive, but that's all. I understand, it should still work for a while, 0AD requirement is quite low. Congrats! I see. Indeed I would look for a new laptop for your wife, even a second-hand. You could also force the Win10 laptop to upgrade to Win11 but it requires several manipulations. If I were you, I'd try to switch to the laptop with Windows 10 in the near future. The OS will still be stable for several years, at least for recreational use. The other option is to share the Windows 10 laptop with your office, which can handle easily two accounts. Depending on how much you are playing. In the meantime, if the old laptop isn't being used for other things and personal data has already been backed up, then I think it's worth trying a Linux OS. I won't even try to make two partitions on the old laptop.
