Hey, why isn't there an Egyptian civilisation? I would have thought that they would be an automatic inclusion in the roster.

Egypt at this time was either a satrapy of Persia, or a Hellenistic (Greek) kingdom split from Alexander's empire. To add the Successor states of Alexander's empire might be a project I pursue after the game is released.

Hi yodaspirine,
Those maps are amazing,

I have a "Backup" of your maps over at http://0ad.me/Forum-Maps.
Feel free to take ownership of those at anytime, just PM me here or there.

Theres about 200+ Downloads of those maps, collectively.

Yeah, that is true. And Egypt was more prevalent before 1000BC. Egypt fell to the Persians in 343BC after a defeat.

Thanks! That's a good thing to spread maps, that's the aim of cc-by-sa

EDIT: I upgrade my maps alesia for alpha 6.

*Sparta:
** Without walls
** Houses moved
** Traders switch to entities
*Granikos:
**Persian cavalry + Macedonian army placement
*Athens :
** Gaia units switch to Player 2 units
** Houses moved
** Add Propylaia

And a new map: Salamis !

Although heavily outnumbered, the Greek Allies were persuaded by the Athenian general Themistocles to bring the Persian fleet to battle again, in the hope that a victory would prevent naval operations against the Peloponessus. The Persian king Xerxes was also anxious for a decisive battle. As a result of subterfuge on the part of Themistocles, the Persian navy sailed into the Straits of Salamis and tried to block both entrances. In the cramped conditions of the Straits the great Persian numbers were an active hindrance, as ships struggled to maneuver and became disorganised. Seizing the opportunity, the Greek fleet formed in line and scored a decisive victory, sinking or capturing at least 300 Persian ships.

As a result Xerxes retreated to Asia with much of his army, leaving Mardonius to complete the conquest of Greece. However, the following year, the remainder of the Persian army was decisively beaten at the Battle of Plataea and the Persian navy at the Battle of Mycale.
From Wikipedia

Goals:
*Defeat Persian Navy
*Reconquer Athens and Piraeus
Bonus:
*Find all the Metal Barrels, Pegasus and the Golden Fleece in Athens and Piraeus

Psyttaleia placement is an error. Parthenon presence is a volunteer anachronism: it were built 3 years after the Battle of Salamis.

Hi! After a month without internet connexion at home, I finished a new snow map which looks like to some AOE maps : pass through ennemy lines to join safe area. It will appear in the demo maps menu. Unfortunately, with the health drain, some buildings will be destroyed, if a tool appears in Atlas which block health, I'll update the map

Nice work, I love winter maps. Now all we need is snow falling and blowing in the wind to complete the effect

Nicely done Yodaspirine

[Yodaspirine]

Switching to Alpha 8 I lost the map I was working for. Thus I update one of my firsts maps, Black Forest. qBot can be Player 1 or Player 2, but I hadn't time to test it on a long match.

One of the more realistic maps I've seen for the game, Yoda. Great job! Kind of difficult to navigate the forest though.

[quantumstate]

This looks fantastic, the detail is wonderful. It would be great to use the images in PR material.

That would be my favorite map to play, I loved black forest in AoK

[Zeta1127]

First of all, the map is beautiful, the attention to detail is just impeccable.

I am getting an error on start up of Black Forest in Alpha 8, I have the recently updated version.

( 20.112) error: Failed to find file: "art/actors/structures/plot_field_new_2.xml"
( 20.112) error: CObjectManager::FindObjectBase(): Cannot find object 'structures/plot_field_new_2.xml'

I can still play the map, even though it lags after awhile.

I also have a question, why are the corrals props (actors), is it because they don't have full functionality yet?

This is because plot_field_new_2.xml has been put into the svn since Alpha 8 was released. So it is nothing to worry about.

Corrals don't have full functionality yet, currently they just train wild animals. Putting actors in does seem like a strange choice though.

[Zeta1127]

I thought it was something like, I am a CIS major at DeVry University, so I have coding experience.

I know corrals just train animals at the moment, I was just wondering why Yodaspirine made them props, for all I know it was unintentional.

Yes, this is a temporary element waiting operational corrals. If I place Corrals, bots send their citizens on it.

To do what?

[Yodaspirine]

This:


I tested with JuBot, but qBot had the same problem. It is after they exhaust near chickens and first farms. It seems they consider Coralls as source of food, if I destroy Corrall, they search chickens.

I can't tell what they're doing in that screenshot.
