... First question ...

Can modders of 0 A.D. add the number of civs there are?

... Second question ...

Will the interfaces [where the normal RTS map is located] have to be designed in a 3D program to be changed? Or can we use a program like that of Photoshop?

... all for now ...

Why would you need a 3d program to change a UI?

Generally UIs are not 3d models (thankfully). That would be silly.

You should probably be able to change it by modifying the images (and of course the text files that control the UI).

If that means can you add more civs...we certainly hope so, thats the kind of modding power we're aiming for.

Like in Rise of Nations, Arg?

It'd be also cool if 0 A.D. could come with the options of an infinite resources... like in RoN... how they never run out...

I never played RoN nor have I ever played any forum of CTW. But I did play Risk and I must say I like it. So I think it would be awesome in a game too.

The best CTW RTS are IMHO Total War series (i really love Medieval - Total War, modders have made this game just awesome, I slightly participated in development of Fall of Rome mod, I have never played game which would introduce me to this period better). I'd like to have option to play it this way (like some switch to choose style, like MTW or AoK or RoN).

In my opinion, the best conquer the world game is Hearts of Iron 2.
It is one of my favourite games at the moment.

I haven't played it. But I know something about HOI 1. I can't say taht it is bad. But in HOI, there is no battle AFAIK. There is only strategic map. I said it badly, maybe MTW isn't best conquer the world game, but combination of strategy and tactics is IMHO unique to the Total War saga. And I'd like to have it implemented in 0AD (with less numbers of troops , lets say about 200 units on each side on the battlefield, rest would be as reinforcements, so when you attack region with 800 troops, you'd be able to use only 200 ofthem, rest would be used as reinforcements arriving when some of those 200 initial unist are killed).
