kikishoch Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 (edited) Recently I have been playing a lot of 0ad, it is a fun game with lots of game mechanics and has huge potential when out of alpha. One thing that has been bugging me against bots is them building multiple civic centers. An idea that came across my mind was an option for max civic centers. Say in the "More Options" interface add an option for the number of civcs centers you are allowed to build, including "Unlimited" This idea could also expand to other building using the some principle I just described. Please let me know what you guys think of this. Edited January 23, 2016 by kikishoch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intipablo Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 I'm not in the team so I don't know if this could be added or not, but I don't see why you're annoyed by this. It's part of the game to expand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

feneur Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Considering that the Civic Centers are an important part of the game design and concept I don't think we generally will restrict them. Especially since there is a minimum distance between them, and expansion at least currently depends on them. It should be really easy to mod at the very least though, so things can certainly be modified to fit your wishes as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikishoch Posted January 23, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Well, I think its a nice idea, i'm not asking for mutliple civic centers to be removed, i'm asking for more customization for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not as much a matter of customization as a matter of changing the entire way the game works though. Unless you make it possible to either build outside your territory, or make all buildings increase the size of your territory massively, you would end up with big areas without any buildings on large maps. If nothing else that would make the Mauryans really powerful as they can gather everywhere with their elephants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So this is a question of changing the AI I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fabio Posted January 25, 2016 Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 You can lower the difficulty level, this will limits the AI aggresssivity and to some extent also the number or CC built, especially near your base. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kikishoch Posted January 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2016 Still, even with Very Easy, the bots seem to build right outside my base! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight32 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 If you catch it before they finish, it's just a big loss for them. Have some cavalry scouts out there. They could be hunting, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av93 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 You have to be faster. BTW, i think that right now if you lose a building while under construction you don't lose resources. Actually, the main strategy is skip the second cc and go straight to 3 phase, then mass champions with a heroe and capture everything. If you do it right, is better than make a CC in mosts situations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 (edited) You can surround your homeland with outpost, and have explorer ready to attack. I suggest the video from one our member Alekusu in YouTube, he is faster.

Phalanx Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Aye, unfortunately the encroachimg on each other's territory is basically the whole meta. Try playing with a medium Petra AI ally, and watch them, and work with them, then after you win, you can watch the replay of the battle (O A.D. automatically records and saves all games ). I've learned a lot about playing faster from it. Dont think of it as an annoyance, but a challenge. Show the comp what happens when they encroach on you!

I agree, building what you need to advance to the City phase is a better use of time and resources. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
