Update: Game Templates and Quick Lobby are available on mod.io and thus in-game PR opened for Resignation Tribute to get it into the core game

There is a merged PR here (for v0.29) that adds Arminius but as a name that will be used by any AI players in games not a hero: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8784 The (long) PR that added the Germans as a civ (v0.28) is here: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7104 That PR contains a lot of the discussion / reasoning. If you feel strongly enough I am sure you could open a PR.

Nice @AlexHerbert and I agree we do seem to fall into the trap of playing the same games. When I see your games in the lobby I will join as I like that variety. I like Wild Lake and Marmara too but yes people complain as soon as you change the map. The 'rules' box is particularly useful to introduce the map in a game. I try to explain about the gaia in Wild Lake. I think some of us a skeptical of a new map because some trolls focus their efforts on learning a map and drawing us into their honey traps. So explaining the map beforehand will hopefully reduce suspicion.

@diagonalo I got sick of the behavior of people in the OP team games myself & much prefer playing with non-toxic people like Soylent, Sol, Loup. I would prefer if you kept playing 0ad & joined the team games that I & those I mentioned host.

Check out the autociv mod. It has many features including the ability to command units during a pause & minimap expand.

this is hypothetical but I think it should be distributed amongst allies based on their military score.

Yeah the 'Spoils of War'

An ally dying is different to a resignation imho and I think that brings up some questions about whether we even should

ok but any other than that in combination ? I'm just wondering if game templates UI changes conflict with UI changes in another mod.

I don't use ModernGUI so I don't know how compatible these are. I just don't like how it moves my minimap from where I expect it. Yeah I am tempted to make a 'modowar' that includes several of these ideas in one mod. I tried to get these onto mod.io but no progress so far. And I personally would prefer an easier way to see the latest autociv etc Which other mods are you using as someone else spotted that too

Or to make it even easier I am attaching the zip files - though any updates will happen in the github repos. gametemplates-0.28.1.zip quicklobby-0.28.zip resignation-tribute-0.28.0.zip

So the mod.json is in the gametemplates subfolder so if you downloaded ALL the code then you only need that subfolder. Under the releases section I have the zip downloads e.g. [this zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates/releases/download/v0.28.1/gametemplates-0.28.1.zip) so that is probably easier for you to use than downloading the whole git repo. To make it easier here are direct links to the zip files for each mod above: [Game Templates Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates/releases/download/v0.28.1/gametemplates-0.28.1.zip) [Resignation Tribute Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/resignation-tribute/releases/download/v0.28.0/resignation-tribute-0.28.0.zip) [Quick Lobby Zip](https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/quicklobby/releases/download/v0.28/quicklobby-0.28.zip)

I have vibe-coded 3 mods that I have tested locally and that other players may find useful: Game Templates: Allows saving multiplayer game settings so it is easier to switch game types without missing a setting. https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/gametemplates Resignation Tribute: Allows you to send resources to allies when you resign. https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/resignation-tribute Quick Lobby: Adds a button to the main menu to get you to the lobby that little bit faster. https://github.com/jonnymccullagh/quicklobby I am also playing around with a player notes mod but I am still testing it.

I noticed a bug in autociv and the fix is a one-liner. Is the github repo [here](https://github.com/nanihadesuka/autociv) the correct place still and is A28 the correct branch to merge to ?

Thanks Vantha I removed Ballomar leaving the list below. The PR is here if you approve. "Ariovistus", "Arminius", "Catualda", "Claodicus", "Gannascus", "Maroboduus", "Vannius", "Veleda"
