Ptolemaic Dynasty

Wed, 16 May 2012 23:41:42 +0000

Just realised your missing a major civilization, the Egyptians or Ptolemaic Dynasty. is there already plans under way for these or are you only adding Civilizations that were after 0ad? Maybe you could base them off the last few years of there rule when Cleopatra ruled them in 30bc which is not far from 0ad.i would like to definately see some Egyptian architecture and units in the game.

Alpha XI Name Suggestions

Wed, 16 May 2012 21:53:15 +0000

Keep in mind it must begin with K, and be related to the ancient world.
My suggestions:

Kronos (the Titan)
Knossos
Kalinga (the war in honor of the upcoming faction)
Kush (the mountains in honor of the upcoming faction)
Kali (the Hindu goddess in honor of the upcoming faction)
Kuruš (alternate spelling of Cyrus)

Post-processing effects test (SSAO/HDR/Bloom)

Wed, 16 May 2012 18:29:12 +0000

Hey everyone,

I've been coding some very rough GLSL post-processing tests just to see what they'd look like in 0ad, and thought I might share some results. The following images are in pairs, with the "plain" images first and the filtered images after: http://imgur.com/a/zZe2L

These images use SSAO, HDR and Bloom filters. The dark halos around the character models are due to the SSAO, which otherwise looks pretty decent.

Credit where it's due: the shaders are modified versions of the fantastic work of user martinsh on the Blender Artists forums.

Peace
Myc

post-0 AD idea: mythology

Wed, 16 May 2012 14:47:16 +0000

i understand completely that teh modding team is COMPLETELY preoccupied with 0 AD and their real-world lives, and will be pre-occupied after 0 AD with 0 AD part 2, TLA, and possibly Colonial AD (im honestly not too sure about that myself, simply because i havent looked into it), but i personally think that a good game for the team to make after 0 AD (and possibly those other ones) is finished would be a mythology-based game, kind of a spiritual successor to AOM. im already making written designs for all the civilizations. tbph, its just to keep my boredom at bay--i like researching for each of the civilization--but if and when this becomes possible, i think it would be a good idea to pick up the designs for a sort-of-sequel to 0 AD. ive already got all the cultures (a total of 20 that are introduced 5 at a time, with the first five being the Greeks, Egyptians, Norse, Mesopotamians, and Celts) and most of the units for them

of course, i completely understand if no one else thinks this is a good idea, but ive been putting alot of time and effort into writing it up. personally, i think the benefit of this for the modding team would be that they wouldnt have to do any of the research themselves, as i would have already done it all

id also just like to say right now that it is not meant to be entirely historically accurate; some of the units for different civilizations are derived from that peoples' myths and legends (ex: the Greeks have the Argonaut as a "power soldier") and that the time period is pretty ambiguous, that theres three "monotheist" cultures in the third set of five cultures (Christians, zoroastrian Persians, and the Hebrews are represented by a Major God in the Levantines[which itself covers three distinct peoples]), and that, like in 0 AD, its more like the cultures are frozen at some point in time, hence the ambiguous time period. for example, the Greeks represent a time period approximately between the trojan war and alexander's campaigns in asia, the Egyptians represent all of the ancient egyptian kingdoms, and the Norse mostly represent the people of Scandinavia during the Viking Age, while the Mesoamericans represent a time period from the neolithic to pretty much right before the 1400s, and the Japanese can represent any time period from the Jomon Period to right before coming into contact with Europeans

as i said, ambiguous time period, whatever works for that race's mythology

do we really need a whole new thread for every suggestion or group of suggestions? there's already one official and heavily frequented thread SPECIFICALLY for suggestions

Phase II requirements

Wed, 16 May 2012 02:44:31 +0000

To get to Phase II one needs to build 5 buildings (all the Phase I buildings), however these building may not be really useful initially, such as resource dropsites and I end up builing them not to far from the Civic Center, just to get to Phase II. What about changing the requirements for Phase II to have at least 50 units and 20 citizen soldiers (or other numbers)?

So that the increased population justify the need for a "Town" Phase.
