@ManasManushya Here is the post; I’ve included a few of the problems I’m facing.

I want to try out as many features as possible—so that the campaign can serve as a case study . so yes.

Hi everyone, I'm working on a narrative campaign for 0 A.D. and I use Atlas a lot. I'd like to collect feedback from other map makers ( good or bad experiences.) The goal is to help the developers understand what's really missing. Here are 3 things I personally need: A tree generator, because right now I have to place trees one by one. A way to make units enter buildings. A way to see scripts running while I test Feel free to share. Thanks!

@ManasManushya Oh! Let me know if I can test it out

@Nicolaus_von_Kues

@Thalatta wow

@Dunedan Thank you . This project is going to be a long journey, but I can thank @Thalatta for the research and for keeping an eye on me.

I used Claude to make a quick diagram, and then I used Photopea to place everything better and refine the text.

Devlog #3

I have the scenarios, the objective plans, and the gameplay. I'm working on how cinematics work, and I'm also looking for voice-over — not easy, but I have ideas. https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/168855-campaign-idea-with-the-iberians-–-looking-for-feedback-and-editor-tips/

Hey everyone, For the past month, I've been working on a project: a narrative campaign for 0 A.D., focused on Viriathus and the Lusitanian resistance against Rome. In-depth research, focusing primarily on Appian's *The Spanish Wars* Why : Because 0 A.D. clearly lacks a narrative campaign, and because the development faces significant technical and resource-related challenges. If this work can help the community, that in itself is a success for me. My goal : My goal is to create a story people will play, while discovering 0 A.D. But also to help the developers with my experience, through reports, and above all to create a reference for future scenario creation. For the past month, we've been working on the scenario. I already have 8 contributors on the project. Huge thanks to them. Release : The goal is to release Scenario 1. No official date yet, but I'll post an update every two weeks here, and also on Reddit. Also : This project isn't to release it as quickly as possible, but rather to ensure quality and also learn things like programming, digital painting,music, and collaboration. Thanks !

It just needs a more accessible layer on top of the JS code. I've been using it for my campaign, and despite the bugs and complexity, I see a lot of good qualities. Heightmaps, for example, are super fun.

Good to know! And a big thanks to @Vantha

True. But not everyone can contribute the same way. Making tools more accessible could bring in more creators.

I get it. But I still think there's untapped potential for solo content. And I have huge respect for what the devs have built. That's why I'm here.

I'm sending a message in a bottle out to sea. Hey everyone, I'm working on a campaign for 0 A.D. called Burning Heart. I want to brainstorm a cover for it. Not an Age of Empires 2 copy, but something with that same vibe, that feeling of power in the image. Anyone down to collab on this? That'd be great.

to place my drawings for my intro

Here are the heightmaps for my Scenario 1,

maps

testing some mechanics, to find a balance between a more numerous and strong legion vs fewer and less organized, and so far it's working!

It aligns well with the ideas being referenced !

With some help @Thalatta we might end up making a map that looks like this. Thanks again!

Simple workaround: I select the units with the selection tool, switch them to Player 1, do all the constructions, unit placements and formations I need, then save. I reset, reopen the XML file, reassign the relevant units to Player 2, and save again. @Stan @Grautvornix @Asher
