I think the positioning of gates and wall towers should be determinable by the player and not automatically erected. So one first builds a wall, then selects a segment (could also be possible during construction, but time and resource consumption for conversion should remain) and converts it to a desired element e.g. "Build tower, 100 stone" or "Build gates", both requiring workers like normal buildings do.

So will there be an ingame button (not "hidden" in the options menu) to switch to isometric view in the final game? That'd be amazing

swordsman: "gladiator" was an entertainer, not a "real" solider. You could use "pedes" (foot, foot soldier) or "miles legionarius" (legionary soldiert), or if you want to be more specific "hastati" (legionary soldiers with sword and shield)

healer: "medicus" (~ doctor) or "archiatros" (~ first doctor, chief healer)

* Attack (either a target entity or a target point)

If you click to attack on one unit in a group of enemies and it gets killed before you troops reach it, then it would be quite nice if the troops would not just stop but still advance to that group of enemies.

"Installing" (Extracting) 0ad did not work on my machine in the first place either. I could not extract it to "Programs (x86)" but had to use my desktop and compability mode (using 7zip).

The game itself starts with these messages (it does start though):

When the host game's crashes, the guest player does not seem to get any notice. The game just freezes (still works but time is "stopped") and no message like "Waiting for host" or "Host has left".

You can start games with more players than supported by the map. There could be some "spectation mode" but players should be noticed of that.

When trying to save ("save as...") a map into my home directory or to the suggested directory Atlas crashes (turns grey, does not respond etc)

Running Atlas using gdb '/usr/share/games/0ad/system/pyrogenesis_dbg' returns (after trying to save the map)

That's bad. How are you closing it? It'd be great if you could run it in gdb to see where it's frozen ("gdb pyrogenesis_dbg", "r", exit the game, see that it freezes, switch back to gdb window, ctrl+c, "thread apply all bt"), but that'll probably require you to build from SVN instead of using the non-debuggable packaged version.

Hm, it's non-reproducible at the moment (accompanied by gdb: "Program exited normally."). Closing it using the ingame cross at the top right of the screen.

April 4, 2010

Please see http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Atlas_User%2527s_Guide for the Scenario Editor User's Guide.

For Linux users it's probably worth mentioning that Atlas can be run using

'/usr/share/games/0ad/system/pyrogenesis_dbg' -editor

right?

Just installed 7419-release via play playdeb, which actually made it quite a pleasure (instead of having to built it yourself) to get 0AD.

If you had read, you would have known.

This has been a problem in every single RTS that I've ever come across thus far. Because the game has no way of detecting whether the unit is trapped, there's really no easy solution for this. My recommendation? Keep your units away from buildings that are in progress, unless of course they're helping build it.

This is quite true xD, but at least if the unit is standing on normally obstructed (red) terrain it would be possible to detect. No unit is supposed to be there so it should just be "kicked out" to the nearest passable terrain (like in Civ IV when you declare war after having open borders ^^)

Just installed 7419-release via play playdeb, which actually made it quite a pleasure (instead of having to built it yourself) to get 0AD. This thread is just listing some issues I came (or I believed to have come) across.

Sorry for putting all this into one thread, but it would be a bit of work to open threads for everything (and I guess some issues have been adressed before). I also know this is a pre-alpha not-supposed-to-be-playable release, so the features I am suggesting should rather be thought off as a reminder for beta versions to come.

"Features" (stuff that's not relevant at this time)

There should be a way to scroll by just using the mouse (unlike the "mouse to border of screen"-thing). Like right clicking on empty terrain and then dragging to move across the map
When zooming using the scroll wheel of the mouse the focus should be set at the cursor
Some tooltip showing what a building is used for would be nice (I'm sure that's planned anyways)

"Bugs"

Sound is lagging (that's a known issue I believe) and at sometime gone at all
Soldiers are trying to attack trees. They should either be able to really chop them or don't do anything at all (maybe just walking there)
Clicking on berries shows the icon of a warrior
Buildings can be built in a way that citizen are trapped
Population maximum turned to -10 after building 7 houses
Closing the game does not seem to work (screen just freezes and CPU usage of pyrogenesis_dbg is at 100%)

Why not make this into a proper poll instead of all people just posting their OS?
