If you update to the latest svn version, you'll see we are in the process of adding the secondary level to the new menu

Hi Erandur. This info might help you: http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=14577 What 3D program are you using?

Wouldn't that overcomplicate the menu?

If any famous celebrities play 0AD please mention us on talk shows too

Worth remembering splitbot doesn't defend itself yet, so by attacking it you were cheating

That sounds perfect. As you know, it's the pathfinding that causes the majority of the lag, so breaking the huge attack force into smaller groups should help. I think the AI builds too many farms early on, and doesn't use the natural food resources - which is where I got the head start. The AI may also have been restricted because of the new building placement rules. Do you use the svn build for your testing?

So I just tried a match vs splitbot and I'm very impressed by how fast it was producing units. I was struggling to keep my unit count above the AI's until splitbot had around 150 units and then sent them towards my base. When his 150 citizen-soldier units walked into my army of 160 citizen-soldier units it all went crazy. Pity the lag made it unplayable. Excellent work lexa!

No need to be sorry! Downloading now

I did, with the August 23rd build. All builds produce the same error for me (Windows). Have you tried running it on a clean svn build?

Hi lexa, I'm receiving the following error when attempting to run a match against Splitbot: <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2102 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2138 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2149 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2189 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2205 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2236 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="warning">WARNING: JavaScript warning: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 2246 anonymous function does not always return a value</p> <p class="error">ERROR: JavaScript error: simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js line 1 ReferenceError: assignment to undeclared variable $estr @simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js:1</p> <p class="error">ERROR: Failed to load script simulation/ai/splitbot/SplitBot.js</p> I've tried it with Alpha5, and the latest svn build. Hope you know what it could be - I want the bot to defeat me too

Unfortunately integrated graphics cannot compete. 0AD does 'work' on your laptop, and I'm sure Civ5 would also 'work' on it, but the question is how would it work. Here is some proof that it's not just 0AD.

Nah! We're just grumpy old gits

Hi Jason, Welcome to the forums! You might be interested in this

I'm with you on that one. Adding garrison flags to buildings for Alpha 5 was incredibly frustrating. In the future we will be able to attach units onto other units while still allowing both to attack independently. The unit on top would rotate to face the enemy it's attacking - think archer in tower, or catapult on fortress.

Welcome back Historicity!

Does it need an autobuild? I can't run either 0AD or Atlas from svn at the moment, I get this: Loading simulation script 'simulation/components/TerritoryDecay.js' ERROR: JavaScript error: simulation/components/TerritoryDecay.js line 74 Error: Registered component has unrecognised 'OnTerritoriesChanged' message handler method ()@simulation/components/TerritoryDecay.js:74 Loading simulation script 'simulation/components/Timer.js' Loading simulation script 'simulation/components/TrainingQueue.js' Loading simulation script 'simulation/components/UnitAI.js' Loading simulation script 'simulation/components/UnitMotionFlying.js' CTerrainTextureManager::RecurseDirectory(art/textures/terrain/types/): no terrains.xml (or errors while loading) - using parent properties CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-desert/desert_city_tile_plaza.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-desert/desert_city_tile_plaza.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-desert/desert_rough.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-desert/desert_rough.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-mediterranean/medit_city_pavement.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-mediterranean/medit_city_pavement.png CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-mediterranean/medit_city_tile.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-mediterranean/medit_city_tile.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-savanna/savanna_tile_a.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-savanna/savanna_tile_a.png CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/biome-temperate/temp_road_muddy.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/biome-temperate/temp_road_muddy.png CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/special/blackness.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/special/blackness.dds CTerrainTextureManager::RecurseDirectory(art/textures/terrain/types/water/animation1/): no terrains.xml (or errors while loading) - using parent properties CTerrainTextureManager::RecurseDirectory(art/textures/terrain/types/water/animation2/): no terrains.xml (or errors while loading) - using parent properties CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/corral_c.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/corral_c.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_a.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_a.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_b.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_b.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_deep.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/ocean_rock_deep.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_1.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_1.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_2.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_2.dds CTerrainTextureManager: Successfully loaded override xml art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_3.xml for texture art/textures/terrain/types/water/water_3.dds ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/hele_civil_centre:1: Expecting an element Weight, got nothing ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/hele_civil_centre:1: Invalid sequence in interleave ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/hele_civil_centre:1: Element TerritoryInfluence failed to validate content ERROR: RelaxNGValidator: Validation failed ERROR: Failed to load entity template 'structures/hele_civil_centre' ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/iber_civil_centre:1: Expecting an element Weight, got nothing ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/iber_civil_centre:1: Invalid sequence in interleave ERROR: CXeromyces: Parse error: structures/iber_civil_centre:1: Element TerritoryInfluence failed to validate content ERROR: RelaxNGValidator: Validation failed ERROR: Failed to load entity template 'structures/iber_civil_centre'

Huh, i had no idea. I time-warp a lot.

You can also 'time warp'. When in-game hit Shift-D to open the developer overlay window, select 'Enable time warp', then just hold down space to fast-forward the game.

Once the Carthaginian navy is finished I might look at adding some eyecandy inside the super dock. I agree it doesn't look great when you can see all the way through.

Good to see the team brainstorming map layout/strategies. Once our AIs begin navigating water the island maps will become much more popular.

historic_bruno and i discussed making docks buildable down to walking depth - would that be too deep for standard buildings?

Yep that was discussed in the Build Limits / Restrictions topic. We've discussed this further on IRC and the guys are now working on a placement restriction similar to what you describe. Some maps, like Belgian bog, do not often have a coastline on which the building can sit (it's a marsh/bog thing), so this needs to be worked out. Also some docks are much larger than others (see super_dock on svn), so this makes placement even trickier. See here for some further discussion.

I wish they'd only block the video's audio, and not the entire thing. I think I'll let Mythos answer that question. I've currently made the super dock buildable in-game by citizen soldiers, however our new dock building restrictions prevent it from being built, but we're working on that. I've said too much

I don't see how it's textures are so different to other ships, if anything my Celt ship textures are the most incongruous. However, the guys are working on a new navy for the Carthaginians and this probably will include updates to the textures. I was researching the harbour in Carthage last week and came across this fine reconstruction: There are also some other interesting videos on that channel.
