PraDragon{NexT} Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 I definetly enjoy so much this game and im about to work hard on it, make strategies and gaming bussiness, but there is a couple things that makes me very confuse in game. First of those, its the Buildings Construction; it takes so long time and make you need to use at least 5 peasants if you wish to have it a bit quickly (and still not so quickly), i hope the building construction speed could be changed to make it more faster to build, definetly it makes the game so slowly and waste a bit of your time; per example, if you wish to build a house quickly, you may use 10 peasants, wish make'em useless for a couple secconds, where you could be using them on wood\food\iron and etc. The other issue i have is about the super zoom. Definetly the units are very small and with this irregular zoom position, many times you can miss few units (i cant imagine how confuse it will be in a fight). Thx.

Pedro Falcão Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 Try exploring the camera buttons (Q,W,E,A,S,D) along with the zooming and you'll get splendid perspectives! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lastest version for Public. in Trac you can follow the Change and Experiment Uses SVN version. use SVN Tortoise Software to Dowdload. obviusly if you want test it and modding.http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/TortoiseSVN_Guide Edited March 10, 2013 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeXoR Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) Base building is an important mart of 0 A.D. IMO like it was in AoE. Many modern RTS games have effectively removed a "base building phase" by making the buildings build-time and costs quite low. That removes an important part of what makes AoE so good. Additionally nearly no modern RTS game allow to build good price/value defensive structures for the late-game so the base is pretty much just there to produce units and you don't need more than one building of each type. It's defensive capabilities are nearly irrelevant in late-game so beating the army essentially means winning the game. That is quite linear, simplistic and unrealistic. So IMO it's a good thing building a base takes time and defensive structures are still effective in late-game.

idanwin Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 If you want to zoom out more to have better control of your armies open the developer overlay, uncheck camera restrictions and you're ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
