Some suggestions for 0AD

Our game should have changes about building when upgrading to new phase like AoK, also for soldiers when upgrade new weapons.

We should have different between soldiers and peasants, I fell hard to control units to build and ward that will make the game is more simple.

Thanks

the difference between soldiers and peasants is obvious, the peasants are all females.

but, it is complex when soldiers are able to work.

Yeah is very hard to manage the dual role, so we are proposed something called "call to the arms", this button can select all military units at once. But no ones care or work on that feature.

I think we should have the function that can choose only soldiers when select all object. How do you think about my first idea?

[Lion.Kanzen]

There are many form to select only soldiers

Alt+ perform a selection (drawing a box with the mouse) only select military

Other useful is the same but pressing "I" for select idle units.

Yep, I mean that the buildings need to change when up to new phase. Can u teach me how to mod this game? Or how join this project.

[Lion.Kanzen]

You need create new models for each civilization , and some programming.

First you need have a concept, then you can create the 3D buildings with their texture.

Try check the trac, there are some tutorial to add 3d to the game.

I can also answer some of your questions.

[nguyenhuukhoinw]

Thank you, I want to ask why the building does not change when we go to new phase.

[niektb]

Very simple: we don't have enough buildings for that.

, I hope this game like that. I trying to build a building.

you mean make new buildings, no isn't planned for next years make that, we first need to finish other task and art department lacks about artist.

i think what nguyenhuukhoinw is asking is why the buildings' architectural style don't change with phase advancement, similar to how they did throughout the AOE series and in some other RTS games. the answer is simple: phase advancement doesn't represent the passage of time like advancing from the Stone Age to the Tool Age in AOE1, it represents the level of sophistication that your faction is going through. iirc, the idea is that you're not playing as a fledgling civilization in an untamed world, you're playing as a colony of that civ far and away from where they're supposed to be (usually)

[niektb]

actually, oshron, I think a sort of architectural advance isn't strange at all. Where a village mostly has humble and small buildings a rich city has large and nice-looking buildings, more expensive build materials and so on...(for an extreme case, compare a small farming village to a large city like Rome)

However, there are buildings (mostly Wonders) that have no model at all so I figure that there are higher priority tasks around.

i wasn't saying it was strange, i was explaining why they don't change when you advance from Village to Town to City: it's not a passage of time, just what becomes available to you.

though it WOULD be pretty cool if there were different architectural styles for buildings like houses for each phase, showing which ones were built when. thinking about it, i'm kinda reminded of the city-building portions for a SNES game called ActRaiser, which has each region starting with basic huts but, as they advance through expansion, they get more sophisticated-looking buildings depending on region: the first one gets some log cabins, one set in a desert goes from tents to adobe-like buildings, a Southeast Asia-like region gets elevated bungalows, stuff like that

This something like about what happen when age of empires meets Caesars ( a city builders) may be each phase can be a economical change in some building like houses or government buildings. When city is expanded new rich are coming from other places.
