CodeOptimist Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Howdy! Welcome to the community >> i first heard of this game from http://ron.heavengames.com From the forums, I presume?1. how large will this game be (file size)?2. what will the system requirements be?3. You'll be able to rotate and zoom, right?4. can you implement a cheat system where i can get an Apache Helicpoter with vulcan guns and just mow everyone down?5. will there be a population limit? and if there is, what will it be?1. That's unsure at this point. We're hoping it will fit on a standard data CD (~700MB) - we'll see 2. That's also unsure. We are shooting for both compatibility with older hardware as well as extended functionality (read: pretty graphical effects) on newer hardware.3. To the best of my knowledge, yes.4. We'll see 5. Someone else will have to answer this one as I'm not quite sure myself.PS, you guys rock! this game's gunna totally pwn!!!!!Thanks for the encouragement.

Centurion_13 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 an you implement a cheat system where i can get an Apache Helicpoter with vulcan guns and just mow everyone down?I've been wanting that as a cheat for ages, I plan to get it in even if I have to make it myself (although plans can be squashed sometimes so no guarrentees) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 To put some finiteness on Nathan's answers, 1 - At this time the estimated size (compressed) will be 300-400 MB, but the final release may be looking upwards of 600-700 MB2 - The current estimated minimum requirements are as follows- Windows® 2000 or greater (or Linux®)- 1 Ghz Processor- 256 Mb RAM- 32 Mb Geforce3/Radeon 8500 (or equivalent)Remember that when it comes to requirements, the more your system has, the merrier. a 2 Ghz processor and 512 MB mem wouldn't hurt at all.3 - Yes, there will be rotation and zoom4 - If something like that isn't available in the release, the modding capabilities of 0AD will allow you or another to create such a mod5 - Yes, there will be a pop cap, and for the time being it's set at 150 (but may be increased if performance allows) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorian Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 150!? Araghhh! *Runs around in circles screaming... in a thoretical kind of way* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paal_101 Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 Being a ancient and modern combat freak, the AH-64 Apache does not have the M-61A Vulcan It has a single barreled 30mm chain-driven M230 cannon with a maximum rate of fire of 625 rounds per minute. Sorry couldn't resist Welcome to the boards! I too am psyched for 0 AD As for cheats, I'm lobbying for a massive dancing Wijit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fire Giant Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 I'll cosponsor that lobby ←Me too As for the pop limit, we'll have to see what our engine will be able to handle in the end - with luck, it might be higher. Still, imagine - 150 units per player with 6 players will makes already 900 units, plus a lot of builings, Gaia units, resources, trees, eye-candy... you'll end up with at least 2000 units then, and it isn't exactly easy to write a graphics engine and multiplayer system that can handle such numbers. ES and other game companies didn't limit their units just because they wanted to annoy the players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted April 15, 2005 Report Share Posted April 15, 2005 1. There is no way we can tell until the game is finished but it likely won't surpass 1 GB2. Again, no way to tell until we're finished, but a midrange computer right now should be able to play the game fine. A 64MB graphics card will likely be minimum, but a 32MB one might be able to handle it as well. Again, this is only speculation.3. Yup4. Probably not, but you can impliment that yourself by modding the game (which will be very modder friendly)5. Details like that we have yet to discover through playtesting, we're not quite at that stage yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red_08 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 Welcome!I like high pop limits. *hint hint*We can have a vulcan on an Apache. It just would have to be a custom made one. It's a game so we can do whatever we want. (This really belongs in Introductions as it's an introduciton *moves thread*) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
