For some reason I think that would detract from the "In zero AD your soldiers can work" mechanic. At first they are workers rather than soldiers, then they are soldiers rather than workers. All this as they rise through the ranks. 10 hours ago, ShadowOfHassen said: So you mean you'd make the citizen soldiers less effective and add a male citizen that you could train?

And we don't have someone to write about. AFAIK, the encyclopedia is already working code-wise, but was disabled as they found it was too much of a burden to maintain the (multi-language) entries. the thing with FOSS is that if there is a community devoted to maintain some feature, the feature will stay part of the project, otherwise it will be dropped.

Stan` Posted May 22, 2023 Report Share Posted May 22, 2023 Yeah you can restore the <history> tag in the identity components. It will then show up in the detailed view of the unit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's true, but you still need to test it to see if it needs something. I would like to see how it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfHassen Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 So I was wondering would it be smart to make a mod with the different cost for unit upgrades, so people can see how it works? I might be able to figure out how to make a mod. However, can mods run with the flatpak 0 AD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfHassen Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) I made the mod, and played a medium skirmish. I died but, this time, it wasn't before I could advance to the second age. I enjoyed it more because it didn't seem I always didn't have any wood. Where would be the best place to share the mod? One thing is the upgrade descriptions might need to be changed for stone because its descriptions are about slaves, but It now costs metal/ wood. (Pickaxe?) As to convincing them to install it. Anyone who tries the other version gets one imaginary German chocolate cake... Edited May 23, 2023 by ShadowOfHassen Update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShadowOfHassen Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 I'd also be interested in seeing the encyclopedia. I was thinking a history sort of encyclopedia and not a gameplay one, and so I don't see how that would be a lot of translation after the initial writing. By history, I mean like who were the Maurians? Who were their warrior maidens. Who was this roman general? Etc. I think age of empires had a feature like it, but I'm not sure.

ShadowOfHassen Posted May 23, 2023 Report Share Posted May 23, 2023 So I have a GitHub account, would it be Ok to put it on Github and then open a forum post to have people discuss what they thought? Then you all can decide whether you want it in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reason for dropping the ones there were was they were filler mostly like "this is a Roman stable, full-stop" and the like as I recall. So if you get it were they have substance and our historians are happy with the quality I don't see a reason for it no making it into the main game in the end. I suggest start a mod and limit yourself to 1 or two civs first and try to get the attention and feedback of the historians early. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted May 24, 2023 Report Share Posted May 24, 2023 IIRC in a A26/A27 there is an option to reduce the area that does the scrolling so I suppose if you set it to 0 it's disabled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShadowOfHassen Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 Quote Age of Empires saga. Not really. I played Age of Empires 3, and Age of mythology a couple of times, but I don't really care if age of empires has something or not. I just want to know what everything is without ordering 10 books from the library and scrolling through 15 pages of blocked college papers to find out cool history stuff.

ShadowOfHassen Posted May 25, 2023 Report Share Posted May 25, 2023 I'd be willing to do some of it off and on. I mean, you already have raw research about each unit before putting them in the game, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
