Actually a slavery system could make more expensive units useful again in a non-violence ! I’m specifically interested in the nonviolence mod !

Thank you xD The no violence mod sounds great except a lot of units become useless . Can you still capture buildings ? It’ll be a while before I can look at changing the other icons. Do mods have a special git repo ? How does one push a change ?

It gives one the impression that one is eating meat even if they never hunted. I'm not gonna lie and say the ancients were vegetarian (except the Buddhists and the Jains). But I'm also not gonna lie about them pursuing pacifist or strictly self-defense based victories. Is there already a mod for this ?

I plan to teach my future kids it’s bad to kill whether human or animal. I would like to play all major free culture video games with them. But while farming and building a wonder I couldn’t possibly explain why the food icon is of flesh if killing animals for their flesh is bad. The game does not offer a reasonable choice . People still eat meat for a variety of reasons but I hope we can all agree that teaching our children to avoid meat if possible is for a better future !

That’s up for interpretation ! Who is to say the villagers are unpaid and have no property ? The idea is just they aren’t allowed weapons ! It would also be interesting and fun if soldier units could capture/convert villagers immediately instead of killing them !

I think bread and wine are the most historically famous foods because that is what was eaten in the last supper . @Thalatta I'm pleasantly surprised ! I thought vegan gamers were too much of a minority to prompt a thread already . To answer your question , when I was a child playing AOE2 my father taught me to always use the monks to convert enemy units . To this day , I prefer pacifist win conditions in any game I play and 0 ad also already has relic and wonder victories ! 0ad doesn’t have monks but a mechanic were units are taken prisoner would be nice . Perhaps you could do that by letting healers revive fallen enemy soldiers as villagers !

Did you have anyone in mind ? : d

Some people like to play their games as if animals were real and as a challenge to have fun with. There appears to be an icon for farming, and a separate icon for hunting, but the icon for hunting is used for the supply the hunting icon is used instead of the farming icon. Could we change the default icon for food supply to the one used for farming ? It's a small change but one that would make vegan gamers feel more comfortable. I don't know who to tag for this but I'll tag @Stan`since we're making friends .

I would enjoy helping the writing department but I can’t be the only one !

@lilypoppy What about a git for writing pre-production audio scripts , such as the sample you gave me or one for promotional videos ? Would you like to use something like this ?

@lilypoppy Do you like the idea of a git repository for writing story campaigns ?

I cannot do female voices but I could narrate a Mulan centered learning campaign . Her legend dates to between the 4th and 6th century according to Wikipedia .

Somebody should start a git repository for the writing department, with one folder for "promotional" video scripting and another for "campaign" writing, for starters. What do you think @Stan` ?

Should I make an application in the applications and contributions board ? Edit: I had noticed it's existence just before posting this question .

Where is most of the writing stuff for the project currently being hosted ?

@Stan` I’ll pm you if and when I get a promotional video together !

@Stan` Who do I talk to about posting to the official YouTube ?

I consent to using CC-BY 3.0 ! I'm not an artist unfortunately . I know how to cut audio and video in Blender . A page transition animation would be something to put in a call for in a promotional video.

@lilypoppy Tell me what you think ! https://ccmixter.org/files/eaterjolly/71262

@lilypoppy Can you send me a script ? What kind of accent are you looking for ?

I would very much like to create a promotional video detailing the progress on tutorial and campaign design, and calling for help on what is needed. For example, we probably need concept artists for the historical segments to look more polished and immersive.

Hello ! I would like to introduce myself. I am NiRa Muso MIOZOTO, my name is Esperanto for: "This Ra's mouse FORGET-ME-NOT". I would like to narrate historical segments before and after campaigns as well as promotional videos. I can edit the videos myself if necessary. I don't have a large portfolio yet but I plan to post my work here: https://ccmixter.org/people/eaterjolly . I am an Esperanto and Toki Pona fanatic and would like to contribute by translating the project to both. I am a Computer Science student so I can also contribute some code if necessary. I believe that a slow tutorial campaign with dynamic voice acting is crucial to the success of the project. Fun Fact: In 2020 I archived a version of the Cicada 3301 scavenger hunt: https://archive.org/details/@8434337 Who should I speak to about making content for the official 0ad youtube account ? Also, I am a little lost regarding language support. I made a Transifex account but how does final review and addition to the game work ? Thank you for your time and consideration, -Muso
