The Fox of Caerbannog isn't real, he can't hurt you. The Fox of Caerbannog:

I'm not talking about a single audience; a lot of work in development is uploaded here that never reaches the social media.   I don't know where most of the audience is; a while ago, more than a decade ago, I asked about doing a market study. That used to be done with surveys, or rather, it used to be done; now it's easier. With the tools on the platforms. "Market research to identify the target audience". It's the technical name.

It is not that easy dude, that is why community managing exists, every platform has different audiences, algorithms and content that works. If you aim to Instagram growth, you should upload vertical videos following a content plan, not static images. The same with YouTube. Anyways, I am just pointing out this to try to help from my experience.

Perhaps rename the mod? "The Great War" heavily insinuates WW1.

In theory, This idea will benefit from collisions "force" in the movement of the units. Because what would be more natural than for the troops to get bogged down and fight each other. ######################## For movement AI in 0 A.D., you could approach it like this: Formation intent: the battalion has a destination and a general orientation. Individual steering: each unit tries to maintain its relative position, but can deviate to avoid collisions. Contact detection: when two battalions meet, a contact zone is detected. Front-line resistance: front-line units reduce their speed when they come into contact. Rear pressure: units behind them continue pushing forward. Lateral flow: units look for space to the sides when they cannot move forward. Local avoidance: each unit avoids obstacles and other units through small adjustments. Cohesion recovery: when the pressure disappears, units attempt to recover their position within the formation. The difference from a system based purely on pathfinding would be fundamental: Pathfinding determines where the battalion should go; steering determines how each individual unit moves within the battalion.   ######## The units can currently escape anywhere as if they were water. They have no logic or movement that would prevent them from escaping or colliding with anything. This is how one army reaches the Civic Center, ignoring another army. And they take the Rams; they're just buying time to destroy it. My idea is that your army closes vital passages and the enemy must fight or be subjected to casualties if they refuse to fight. In Praetorian units, combat took place upon encountering another army.
