I intentionally posted the whole screen shot to illustrate how much space there is to the side and the bottom. No chance to make the columns or rows flexible? And I still find it ridiculous to not round the numbers. Do we really need positions after the decimal point? And if so, do we really need more than one or two? The number for my used wood is cut off on two sides. Why chose a format to present numbers where said numbers aren't presented properly? Aye, it is ugly and we could use the same abbreviations as in the top panel. But I guess the issue is workforce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't hurt your gameplay or balance, meanwhile it keeps singleplayers and noobs entertained. Furthermore, it helps with the 'civ differentiation' argument. In the future we can give some additional features to the chariots, for example, tramping enemy soldiers, slashing units close to it. Redundant units are pointless. Why not just make them different. We could pretty easily adjust the stats so they aren't exactly the same. As for two options, (1) make chariots quicker but weaker; and/or (2) make chariots stronger but more expensive. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of simply buffing their health, a neat way to reflect on the scythes used is to add an area damage to any unit in close proximity. I am suggesting a nerfed version of the Wei Qing hero, who already does this. In the mean time, we can double the food cost (to account for 2 crews and 2 horses) and decrease their turn rate to reflect their lack of agility compared to a single cavalry. Furthermore, since there is a dedicated pilot, the other crew is always free to shoot arrows. Therefore we can implement a turret mechanic: being able to shoot while moving, although not very accurately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has actually been determined to be op. There was a test of a mod that gave building AI to ranged units and it was really bad. Even a more balanced version might be super busted against infantry. I would probably say 1/3 fire rate 1/3 accuracy while firing and moving, I admit it’s a cool feature but we want to add good gameplay mechanics and not frustration.

Siege towers are slow, and require a lot of garrisoned units, and deal low dps/unit. Even with those limitations, they have been OP in the past. What I responded to would be not have any of those limitations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obelix Posted June 10, 2022 Report Share Posted June 10, 2022 If there is no server listed in the Lobby, the "Join game" button is weirdly grey and crossed. Is this supposed to be so?

The build date in the left corner on the bottom seems to be incorrect (25.05.2022), guessing it must have been in the very last days. Following my checks from Wednesday, I went on searching for more cut or overlapped texts. 1) Replay menu: a) In the upper right corner is one overlapping text, probably "filter compatible replays" in English, for which its box needs more space if text is too long. b) the third drop-down menu also needs to be enlarged, cause the text is cut in the "preview" - or the text automatically shortened with U+2026 … HORIZONTAL ELLIPSIS 2) Descriptions in the single player menu: a) The descenders of the letters in line two of the description area on the bottom are cut. You might see it at the g descender of "geöffnete" and "geöffnet". b) Cut description of the civilizations Han and Kush after two lines in the description area on the buttom. Description box needs more space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would it be hard to animate the text? I'm thinking like text boxes in XCOM2, where if a text doesn't fit into a box it would slowly scroll and after it hits the bottom it would jump to the top again.

The best solution would be to have different sizes depending on the screen resolution of the user (or a redesign of the menus), but it takes just very long time to change everything and everyone is busy with other work.

Yekaterina Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 (edited) Ratings are now functional, thanks @Dunedan.

Yekaterina Posted June 12, 2022 Report Share Posted June 12, 2022 On second thought, this is a good 'feature' as players have to work hard to regain their rating each alpha. This prevents rusty old players from being overrrated and also gives new players a chance to refresh the leaderboard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ratings will be migrated once A26 gets released. The dev version of 0ad always uses a separate ratings database as the server-side lobby code (and possible the database structure) differs from version to version and might break something for the currently released version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
