It used be like, oh so bad, now it's like, a real game in alpha! Just fukcing download it: http://play0ad.com/ Just fucking play it. We needa get involved. I've been thinking for a while now that the future of RTS games will be supported by its fanbase and not major game devs. |

I saw a video of this on youtube once, it didn't look too bad. RTS games take so much effort to learn, though. |

This is just like AoE. It's a game that I feel can be played at a slowish pace and you can have fun. Or you can kick it up a notch and play it competively. gs idk what you're doing but we're playing this. it's got multiplayer |

By the way gs, if you load the game single player it runs perfectly fine. After a while though when unit numbers go up it becomes quite laggy, annoyingly so. I checked afterburner and I think this game might only load a single core.. lul. Otherwise the game is immensely fun. They've got some really creative shit going on here: So apparently you get female villagers who are better at picking berries and doing farming. Apparently female vills also give a boost to nearby male vills (LOL), but I'm not sure what the real stats are. There aren't actually male vills though, you just train infantry and have them harvest. They're apparently better at cutting wood and mining stone/metal than females. Thing is, apparently the more you fight with units, the higher rank they get. the higher their rank, the better they are in combat, the worse they are at gathering resources. I think this is both neat and possibly broken. e.g. if you train spearmen to work as villagers and cav comes to raid.. well you get the idea. Hunting can be done with .. cavalry. This is really fucking neat imo. Basically you can task like... 10 cav units to hunt a zebra or some shit. They'll take it down in like 10 seconds and bring 150 food home in a single trip. Obviously, they have to go all the way back to the TC but I find it just very cute overall. Huntables can only be herded one at a time so you can't really herd. Hunting is reeally efficient. the food just gathers so hard so hard, I half wonder if it's not more efficient to make cav at the start of the game to hunt for food. ranged cav is broken imo, since they're countered by spearmen (slow melee units) and elephants. given they have 25 attack and that the standard infantry unit is at like 100ish hp, well lol. Not sure what they were thinking when they did this. ranged cav counters archers and swordscav. i think that skirmishers counter archer cav. it's just bollocks to have a fast ranged unit not be countered by a ranged unit. I think they distinguish the following types of units when it comes to counters: archers (long range, low attack, i think) skirmishers (short range, high attack) swordsman (melee, good vs spearmen) spearmen (melee, good vs cav) ranged cav (not sure if they distinguish between skirm cav and archer cav) swords cav spear cav elephants their counter system is weird. either way the economy is damn friggin' weird. i really love it. early game it's all about gathering resources from the map. late game every resource (farms give infinite food and women are good at farming) can be gathered by trading carts which you have travel between two of your own markets (or allied market). |

also if they fix multiplayer lag we're in for some insane micro. units die relatively slowly so it's very possible to micro back hurt units to get them healed by priests (who heal fast enough for them to be worth it, imo). they really need to patch up the game because it's turning out to be really exciting |

Military units gathering resources could be taken to interesting places. Maybe the soldiers can build siege engines on the front, but they need to gather wood first and put it in a supply wagon or bring a full wagon with them. Maybe they can build a bridge across a river. |

afaik romans can build some sort of army camp anywhere on the map (because most buildsing have to be built on your own territory, territory being given by TCs); that army camp can build siege engines |

btw guys they released a new version a few days ago it's amazing. unit selection is much improved, the game looks better and best of all, there's multiplayer support that doesn't lag in 1v1. so this is really, really good. there's a leader board with elorating. |

played 3 games already won them all, not through macro since my macro is bad, just micro. hit and run with skirmcav all day every day. so basically the micro in this game is there and it's fun, the macro is also there due to a pretty complex economy. 4 resources, weird gather rates, cavalry good at hunting, etc. i'm stoked |

look, there are things that you can do and there's shit that just ain't ethical that game sucked by the way, guy made only one unit on a weird map. other maps are better, more open, more resources. i played a few games this evening, they were much better than the one I just posted. i'm going to upload the best one, then second and third best. the other ones i won't upload because one of them is 40+ minutes long and mostly uninteresting, the other is a loss. hehe, was almost annoyed with the loss. the way i've been going to age 2 pretty much every game is doing this eco-heavy, constant girl production until i get the resources to age. so generally speaking i age fast enough to stay out of trouble, thing is that in this game it's possible to do age 1 rushes and so i think I just lost to that. couldn't even get my rax up. my opening was either too greedy or simply just plain bad in the sense that it's not safe. i got metagamed by a guy who wanted a re after i beat him.

It's still being worked on. I can't underline this enough, it's still being worked on. So many people on RTSS just shit on the game because pathing isn't good (it's being worked on) and they view some of the weirder (but interesting) aspects of this game as "casual shit that has no place in a competitive RTS". The game is immensely fun to me, simply because it's a completely new game. There's an entire game to re-discover and atm the meta-game is in the stone age. I would say the game has 3 big faults (which make gs refuse to play it btw): - Pathfinding is kind of bad. Sometimes units act retarded and you gotta babysit them. Also pathfinding causes the game to lag when lots of units are moving, which is kind of bad. - Multiplayer is lag. I'm talking maybe 200 ms of ping, perhaps 500. I'm not sure what this is about but I'm going to ask the devs. - Balance and broken shit. Skirmcav (cavalry with javelins) have no real counter for example. So you can win games by making ONLY skirmcav. That's kind of silly. But the game itself is really, really fun. I totally recommend at least trying it and giving love to the game devs. It might encourage them to work harder to fix these problems. |

yes but I know you and the ping alone would turn you off from playing 0 AD.![]() Do you mean mechanics or strategy with that comment? If you were talking about SC2 I'd agree since mechanics does take form to pull off well. I think a few games a day would have you at a decent enough level in this game. it's not mechanically demanding. scouting is SUPER important since there's so much shit you can do. I myself have elaborated a near perfect eco opener, which has you get two market upgrades STUPIDLY fast and has you make 1 female vill at a time. you end up aging with a strong economy. The thing is I tried it out on ladder and this fucker (well he's not a fucker he's just playing the game, lol) opened by going PURE skirmcav right off the bat with his initial villagers. so you can get 4 out and then start raiding. I was doing my (super greedy) eco opener and just got raped. At the start of the game I've realized that you can hunt very efficiently with your starting cav unit. problem with that is that you're blind. so basically not scouting and hunting with your starting cav is actually greedy. because your opponent could be doing the 4 skirmcav rush or he could be doing my full eco start. you have to know what your opponent does to adjust your own shit which makes me SO excited for the game. :s life sucks if you don't have time to play rts Edited by Incog, May 26 2014, 03:29 PM.

Just make skirmcav super expensive. That's what they do with cav archers in aoe2 anyway. |
