Lion.Kanzen Posted October 19 Author Report Share Posted October 19 The comments are hot. It looks like a barbecue from so much roasting. That's what I said, they are skins and from old games. (aoE II). And they're also playing on nostalgia with AoE mobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted October 19 Author Report Share Posted October 19 I didn't expect this. Yes, 0AD has that reputation of being the AoE I that never was. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can say that we do that too We are going to introduce a campaign mode to continue growing. Currently 0A.D grew as much as it could with the help multiplayer player. But we need more attention and there are many youtubers who bring single player content. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they relate the team that made that mod with 0 AD or with some mod that inspired that development. I don't remember that mod. But the original Wildfire Games team made a mod called Rome at War, which is what modern AoE II mods are inspired by. This isn't the first time we've been linked to that team of modders. It's called the same as the one from Wildfire games. It's normal that they think of us with this DLC. The mod is inspired by the mod that brought 0 AD to life. WildFire Games has released quite possibly the largest mod for "Age of Empires II: Age of Kings", featuring the replacement of the Mesoamerican civilisations of the Aztecs and the Mayans with the Romans and Greeks. With over 13,000 downloads and featured on the cover disks of PC Powerplay from Australia and GameStar from Germany. Both are leading gaming magazines. Now you too can build an empire on the backs of your enemies! March your soldiers up and down the Rhine, across the sands of North Africa, through the Grecian city-states, along Hadrian's Wall, and patrol the shores of the Mediterranean Sea as you subdue all who stand in your path. Can you build an empire to equal Augustus and Caesar? Will your name be immortalised on busts of marble and triumphal arches? https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2404179025 ++++ Rome at War' is the oldest mod on the list (dating from 2001), being one of the most complete in its day. It draws attention, more than for its content, for its origin, since from here came the Wildfire Games team, to whom we owe the best spiritual heir of the saga: '0 A.D.', the free 'Age of Empires'. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vidaextra.com/listas/mejores-mods-age-of-empires-ii-vampiros-senor-anillos-star-wars/amp The team of the new game(mod) is different. Romae ad Bellum ("Rome at War") is a fan-made total conversion mod for Age of Empires II: Definitive Edition developed by TheConqueror753 and Caesar3842, first released on September 11, 2021. Though it shares the name of the "Rome at War" mod for Age of Empires II: The Conquerors, it is independently created and has a greater scope. It is based on civilizations of the classical antiquity period, spanning roughly from 500 BC to 500 AD. The authors of this mod were also a part of the CaptureAge team who worked on Chronicles: Battle for Greece, which was inspired by this mod. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Romae_ad_Bellum Edited October 20 by Lion.Kanzen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Empires Ascendant (500-ish B.C. to 1 B.C.) then 0 A.D. Empires Besieged (AD 1 to AD 500-ish) then 0 A.D. Kingdoms Reign (AD 600-ish to AD 1200-ish) then we go back 0 A.D. Golden Age (1500 B.C. to 600-ish B.C.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the map icons "locked" behind chains. Another thing I've always liked and wish we could have in 0 A.D. is the "Hints" tab in the "Objectives" screen. It would give more background to the scenario or match you're playing. We can move all of the general map settings information to a new "Settings" tab in the Objectives screen. So, three tabs/screens. Leave the "Objectives" tab for the true objectives of the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will keep it in mind for the future. Is there a ticket/issue for it yet? 8 hours ago, wowgetoffyourcellphone said: I really like the campaign UI! Very simple, yet effective.

Would be cool have something similiar for our campaigns. Edited November 2 by Vantha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, "feature rich" doesn't need to mean a bunch of stuff on screen. Sometimes good aesthetics and good user experience can combine into something "simple, yet effective, and pleasing to the eye" all at once. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoplites are a complete different line from spearmen. I don't get it. For one, the Paragon just looks like a beefy medieval unit. And the spearman line looks weird too. Strange design decisions.

It is the problem of adapting ancient civilizations to a medieval AoE II mechanic. I don't know why they didn't adapt the Tyrophoros as a spearman line. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Levy_(Chronicles) Levy literally. A soldier with a mace. Literally the militia line and swordman. "It corresponds to the Militia line in Age of Empires II." That look already takes away the immersion.

If you're going to remodel the unit line anyway, then might as well have remodeled it to something authentic! These are basically fantasy units at this point.

Most of their fans won't care, the helmets are reused assets. ""Goths"" helmets. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
