Quote from Björn Bär:

WeirdJokes in blue, he got an crazy rating of 1757.

That Weirdjokes is a complete amateur, couldn't tell the difference between a Ptolomie and a Seleucid. Or was it a Kushite?  

[Lion.Kanzen]

Björn Bär! has good content from a visual point of view. You just need to zoom in on the battles to see the action.

[Ceres]

You can set up different channels/teams in Mumble, and by using ACLs (access control lists), you can finetune who can talk to whom etc. Is this maybe what you are looking for?

Hi, I uploaded a new video about my personal economy strategy with Sparta. I did a little tutorial about my build order in single player then showed 3 1v1 games I did against @Philip the Swaggerless, @dakeiras and @vinme.

Hope it can help :))

 I see a new 0AD Youtuber /Streamer on the rise! Well done to the-x aka Björn Bär!

I really like this style of videos. In the future, you and @Player of 0AD can just agree on a time and then join random TGs as specs, then make it a commentary video.

@mysticjim

It is pretty simple. You make live commentary with autdio only on yt and later on you release edited video.

I was thinking if somehow we could make a platfomr where ppl could join and comment or join and watch streams. YT channel can have only one owner if I get it right. Like that we could have way more interesting streams even on daily basis. Do you know guys any way to make it possible? Maybe it is good idea for a 26 feature. "Stream & comment" tab in a lobby ?@mysticjim

I think @DerekO has made something like that on Discord

we also have Challonge, where when game matches are live the respective stream link will be posted for viewership

Happy Sunday people

And regarding live streams - apologies, haven't had chance to comment yet @MikeZski- but sounds like an interesting concept.

 We have seen some discussion about sword mercenary cavalry and whether they can be stopped . There was a game against @Jofursloft that I wanted to upload for a while and I finally got myself to do that. He played as Sparta against Carthaginians. Maybe Jofursloft and I could repeat the matchup to see which faction seems to have the advantage, as a single game does not really prove that much. I also uploaded a video featuring Macedonian mercenary cavalry in a 1v1.

@LetswaveaBook I think the gamestyle most people complain is the p2 in 4/5 min and 20-30 merc cav around 7 min, attacking fully the enemy.

Modify user.cfg to enable higher zoom.  Use 2 groups of 7-10 units, even 3 groups.  Move them around enemy base kiting the spearmen.  Capture buildings, etc when cav left alone to slowly nibble down on the buildings.

 

@guerringuerrin That was a fun game.  I was surprised by Belizard and his strategy.  More players are doing it.

@LetswaveaBook Belizard may have outplayed me in k/d but he didn't play a team game - only targeted me.  Belizard had no ally vision, or even bothered to explore my pocket whereas I raided his pocket and kept pressure on his pocket too.  For example, I raided the pocket by keeping units chasing me therefore off resources or killed his mass of women-only wood gatherers  (SrIvar was harassed by me substantially more than Belizard's non-harassment of my pocket).  Additionally, SrIvar was called to help Belizard substantially earlier than my pocket came to help me.  My pocket came only at the last minute when he was ready whereas SrIvar was chasing me around Belizard base a lot (During a game this is a sign that my strategy is working as I'm tying up 2 players for the price of 1).  This is a win in upgrades and resource gathering for my pocket whereas SrIvar was handicapped.

Non-carthage civs win games.  Carthage is just a sacrifice to cause chaos and keeping merc cav in your own base or the other Carthage player's base won't cause the chaos.  Additionally, Belizard spent most time being defensive at his CC with Carthage.  Belizard didn't have shared ally vision the whole game.  Shared vision is extremely important for raiding ... especially with Carth Merc Cav.  Not only can you not be playing a team game without seeing allies or communicating with allies but you have to be more offensive than defensive to win - especially when you go low pop merc cav with Carthage. 

End-game stats don't really tell the whole story.  Keeping enemies running around and off resources isn't quantified by the end-game stats.

We have a new Youtuber (who is also already a top 150 player btw)  -  @the-x alias Björn Bär!

Covering for example a match with borg-, the highest rated player of the world at the time of that match! And there are more videos of high class matches.
 

 

I'm very happy to cast the greatest games of 0ad that happen :-) --> You can always send me your replay and I will make entertaining of it.

Bit of a suprise midweek game, just wondered into the lobby and recorded a team game for a bit of a laugh  

Prem tomorrow at 9am (unless you're reading this in the future, then it's already live )

@ValihrAnt May I suggest you try another civ and another map? Miletus Peninsula, Gallic Highlands, and Saharan Oases skirmish maps are the ones I worked the most on, so are probably the best.

I was thinking about trying out a nomadic civ, so these suggestion are really useful.

Nice. Scythians are the most developed nomad civ so far. I would set the AI to Random/Settled Civilizations, since the AI can't properly play nomad civs yet.  Also, the nomad gameplay is still in flux. I haven't finalized it yet for sure, but the Scythians specifically are definitely in a playable state.

A few things from your first video:

• I haven't worked out an authentic roster of "Blacksmith" forge techs for the Zapotecs yet. That will be a challenge considering the Mesoamericans never made iron weapons and armor.
• Unit vision range increases for each passing phase.  The small vision range in Village Phase is to make the world feel bigger and make the Scouts more important. Later on, Scouts are pretty much unnecessary unless you want to make suicide runs or something with them. lol
• Mercs are indeed powerful. I may increase their cost. They can only be trained in very limited numbers though (max 30+10 for each new merc camp captured), so that may balance out.
• The Zapotec "Cult Statue" is the large Ball Court as you found it. I might add some kind of garrisoned units=glory mechanic for it. Other civs' cult statues are much smaller (Athens builds statues to Athena, for instance). As a unique feature, the Zapo wonder also acts like a Cult Statue.
• Units see less, have shorter range, and move slower inside clumps of trees, called Groves.
• The Incan wonder you might be thinking of is Machu Picchu?
• The AI doesn't play the mod very well at all, so best to put them on the highest difficulty.

Wonder if forge shouldn't have been a carpenter workshop or a stone cutter one.
