asterix Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 The Council is both happy and proud to announce a special new release!!! What is it? Millennium A.D. is a total conversion mod for 0 A.D. focusing on the Middle Ages. It is divided into two parts, this first one is focusing on the first half of the Middle Ages; the timeframe of Charlemagne and the Viking Age. The name of this release is Xýlo. This is a byzantine word for wood, in recognition of vanilla 0AD’s founder (Play0ad.com ). That is respectful for the new release. What is new? Thanks to Alexandermb talented modder is responsible for the majority of the new models, Wackyserious our versatile texture artist, Stanislas69 our artist and Lion.Kanzen icon and texture artist, we are happy to introduce you to two new civilizations Byzantines and Carolingians as well as Anglo-Saxons and Norse faction are updated this release. Byzantines The mighty civilization which has its roots in Eastern Roman Empire dawns this release. This release Byzantines got a new market, variation of houses, corral, blacksmith, civ centre and many other buildings. Also, Byzantines use new units and ships including fire ships. Carolingians The time of Charlemagne has come and you will witness the might of his Franks. Last release Carolingians were hidden and worked on by Stanislas69 and this release thanks to fully redone building set and remodeled units are available. You can look forward to Cathedral of Aachen and Carolingian church or docks. From units, we can mention the Catholic priest. Anglo-Saxons This release Anglo-Saxons got Bixworth church(wonder) enabled and Offa of Mercia as their hero that together with his axeman will break through the lines of defense. The Norse Prepare for the new naval battles with the Norse. Since last release the Norse got new longboats and ships are fully animated. Many smaller changes were made in this release too, but it would be too elaborate to list them all. Who are we? The Council of Modders was formed up of two small modding teams and a few newcomers: Aristeia (about the bronze age), Millennium A.D. (about medieval times), Rise of the East (East civilizations, Current Terra Magna) and Ponies Ascendant (Pony factions) CoM aims to create an umbrella for all wannabee modders and help everyone needed and of course create their own projects.

Stan` Posted August 9, 2018 Report Share Posted August 9, 2018 Well we need to finish the factions so tickets need to be created on GitHub to keep track of that. One ticket per task/ unit. There are probably some props that have to be added tickets for those too. To ensure a smooth evolution we need to be organized. All tasks should be listed on GitHub. Mesoamericans would be a nice addition if the quality is up to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
