Alpha 27 Pre-release/Release Candidate Build Testing

[Gurken Khan]

That double-dealing sob Miltiades.

[Gurken Khan]

Was at at Bothnia again. Winter again, no hunt, no fish.

Screw those supposed seasonal changes. I want some animals to feed my people.

Write a poem about how hard it is to get meat in the winter. And that one can use fields to get other forms of food.

meta-llama:

In days of old, when winter's chill did reign,
Meat was a luxury, scarce and plain.
The frozen fields lay barren, void of life,
Leaving hunger pangs to plague our strife.

But fear not, for in those frozen lands,
There were still ways to feed our hands.
We turned to fields of grain and green,
Where other forms of sustenance were seen.

The wheat and oats we harvested with care,
Baked into bread, our bellies could bear.
And from the gardens, vegetables galore,
Stews and soups we made, and more.

In winter's grip, we found a way,
To survive each day, come what may.
For though meat was a rarity,
Our resourcefulness kept us in unity.

So let us cherish these fields of gold,
That give us life, both young and old.
For in their bounty, we find a way,
To thrive, even in winter's gray.

 

[Gurken Khan]

Yeah, yeah. All fish swam to the Caribbean and all rabbits, deer and bears flew to their winter habitats in Africa.

[phosit]

Indeed.
While writing that prompt it also got to my mind: In the winter there aren't that much less animals. Instead there is less gain on the fields.

is it?

Obviously this is just an opinion due to lack of a definitive metric

Much to our regret we must report the program has encountered an error.

Hello,   I am not "yet" involved in any development, but I just got the dev version of Alpha 0.27 yesterday following the instruction from here:https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/BuildInstructions

I am on Linux 22.04, so I followed the instruction here for the dependencies:

sudo apt-get install build-essential cargo cmake libboost-dev libboost-system-dev   \
    libboost-filesystem-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libenet-dev libfmt-dev   \
    libfreetype-dev libfreetype6 m4 libfreetype6-dev   \
    libgloox-dev libicu-dev libminiupnpc-dev libnvtt-dev libogg-dev   \
    libopenal-dev libpng-dev libsdl2-dev libsodium-dev libvorbis-dev   \
    libwxgtk3.0-gtk3-dev libxml2-dev python rustc subversion zlib1g-dev

that only worked after changing the package "python" to "python-is-python3". So it might be needed to update the page.

I am not sure if that post belong here, but I could not find the right thread

Mh, probably Ubuntu 22.04. python-is-python3 sounds like a package installing a symlink python pointing to python3 and the the package python-is-python3 just so depends on a package python3 which in turn depends on a package python3.10 for example. My guess the package python3 if it exists would be what you want.

Not sure what the canonical way to install python 3 on Ubuntu is but looking at the results of "apt search python" should probably make it obvious.

to be honest, I just followed the option given in the terminal when the first command with only "python" in the list was passed. I had tried to install the python3 package separetely for other stuff much before, so I may have add something already.    Please let me know if someone needs or want more detail on this on my config to check if updating the webpage for the build isntruction is needed

Hmm. I might have one somewhere. 

[Gurken Khan]

Isn't the team bonus also applied to the player? So researching the tec would just be a waste of 1000 res?

Edit: Is it intended that on Danubius I can't capture most Gaia city buildings? Even if I press the dumb now required hotkey the attack icon won't change.

Edit 2: Those buildings aren't even recognized as hostile by my dumb soldiers. So instead of at least doing some random damage to whatever they just idle.

Do we have a working Alpha 27 for Mac yet? I remember reading that, when it first came out, we'd only be able to install it but it wouldn't run. I installed the "Debug" version, and it runs, but freezes when I try to start a game. Is that normal? Is there a working version?

 

As always, thank you all so much for all that you do!

Just for clarification: Alpha 27 isn't released yet, we have only release candidates  Have you tried the ones mentioned in the first post? And which Apple platform do you have and which macOS version?

I've done a temporary fix for the britons unit skins adding back their a26 versions; do the gauls need it as well or is their current look intentional?

Yeah, we should come up with a solution to this. @Genava55 any thoughts?

[Genava55]

The Silk Road should not be a technology, it is better as a team bonus. Instead, give them a technology about producing paper maps and give them a speed bonus for the merchants.

"Paper Maps" -- interesting. Any references (for the tech's encyclopedia entry)?

Thanks again!

Ok, I downloaded the non debug version (May 17, 2023) and, while I only left it open for a few seconds, it runs a game! Perfect. Thanks! @FreagarachWould you be able to port our "No Violence" Mod for Alpha 27, or do we wait for an official Alpha Release?

 

Thanks again, everyone! This community is SO helpful!

I thought a comment posted, but it didn't. I already posted a later comment which, I think, resolved this situation. Thanks!
