Deicide4u

@wowgetoffyourcellphone Could you share the source for those two latest images?

Thanks. It costs 300 metal, so it pays itself after 150 in-game seconds (+research time). But, I agree that's a bit too long in a 1v1 match.

Honestly, how many replays of good players have you watched? In all of the games I've watched, the players had a mixed composition of melee and ranged units. Mostly basic CS, almost never champions. This is for 1v1, not team games.

Their only non-metal options are pikemen, slingers and Camel archers. For literally anything else, you will need a lot of metal. All siege weapons are available, but all except the Siege Catapult also cost metal. Any tips other than the obvious? I'm thinking getting Serapis Cult early will help, but you need to survive by then. Early farming techs can help to barter food for metal, I guess.

Yes, this is a very beautiful game, that's for sure. Sometimes, it can look a bit chaotic, as the units themselves blend into a mini black hole.

I'm from the Balkans. Plenty of different countries with basically the same language there, so let's leave it at that. My nick dates back to the years when I was a pretty big Bleach fan. Fans will know about the "Deicide" manga chapters and what happened in them.

Yes, they can now actually fight and survive the battles by destroying the enemy. That might be why their survival rate went up.

Yes, probably because it's a pair tech for them.

@Dakara, the tech exists for everyone, not just Mauryans. That's why it's not a tech specific to them. Hence, it's a bug in the UI.

It's in the houses.

Guys, I've found the ultimate fix to lag. It's simple, really. All you have to do is

You will never guess what I did. I've committed a travesty. Yes, that is correct. I have DISABLED batch training.

Sabaton - Crossing the Rubicon

Not sure I agree with this. If I task my army to attack a house that has a bunch of other houses nearby, I want them to continue destroying other houses. Of course, we first need to make houses (even other buildings except CCs and Fortresses) much more vulnerable to hack attacks. In my mod, houses have 5 Hack armor, and are easily destroyed even by CS swordsmen.

Very strong economy, 1500 elo player smurfing as 1100. 100%

Yeah, they have the same damage as Kushite Axemen, -1 Hack resistance, but are faster and cheaper in Metal. Also, available in P2. They should get lower pierce armor, or cost more metal. The damage is fine if their other stats suffer.

I believe that it's a nod to Norse Log Ram from Age of Mythology. Now, we just need their voices, too:

You could ask on the Linux Mint forums. I think they endorse using Flatpaks there. I would also consider using Debian proper. It now comes with non-free firmware by default, and it's easier to use than ever.

Whenever I start a game on a SVN version of the game, the textures (buildings, units, grass, etc.) start loading dynamically. This also makes random maps slow to load. How can I make the textures appear instant, like in a normal release? I've checked out only the "binaries" directory. EDIT: I think I know why. The release version comes with cached files inside the "public.zip" file. SVN version doesn't have these pre-cached files, they need to be cached on the fly.

German Women -> German Civilians. @real_tabasco_sauce

Moats are a Middle ages thing. We have palisades, we have Roman Siege Walls and Army Camps. Traps for Siege Weapons? The best ancients had was a big rock to throw at the thing. I say, keep it simple.

You don't have to fork 0 A.D. A "fork" is just another word for a major mod. We have those already.

Starcraft 1 is full of OP units, in fact. That might be why it became "balanced", every race had some nasty OP units. I'd say Scythe Chariots and Chariot Archers were more OP than expensive Centurions. True, sadly. Definitely agree here. You can always nerf the most blatantly OP units. That, and the fact they're naked. As in, without armor naked.

@Classic-Burger Will your Priests praise the Sun, as welll?
