This was SVN commit r24649.
This patch fixes a few oversights:
* When redoing D3287, a typo slipped in, spotted by @borg-: “wood”
instead of “food”.
* From the same patch, @Angen suggested to change a technology name,
from “Metal Shield” to “Metal Rim”.
* When redoing D2494, I missed that the ptol polybolos has a third less
reload time; as a consequence its damage per second is now 50% higher
than that of other bolt-shooters; this patch fixes that by adjusting its
damage.
* Likewise, D3235 adjusted archer attacks but omitted the crossbowman,
which currently has half the base damage of its champion counterpart but
three times the reload time, which means its damage per second is only
one-sixth the archer's; this patch raises its base damage sixfold to
give the crossbowman the same damage per second as the archer.

reflect that, and this could break hotkey release.
This fixes that by explicitly using scancodes. Note that we might want a
g_keys map in the future, but it seems un-necessary at the moment.

Following 9fc6c3c897, the OOS debugSerializer would try to serialize AI

Instead, it should print the result of Serialize() in those cases.
(The original idea was that it would print more debugging information,
but in practice it seems to mostly print things that show up when
diffing but aren't actually sources of OOS, so essentially garbage).

- axemen, macemen, swordsmen: 3.5 -> 3
- spearmen: 4.5 -> 4
- pikemen: 7 -> 8
In single combat or small numbers the effect of this patch is probably
negligible; however, in large groups more pikemen could hit a single
target. Given that pikemen have by far the lowest damage per second,
increasing the range differences won't hurt.
In reality pikes were two to three times as long as spears, and up to
six pikes extended in front before an opponent could touch the first
pikemen, so this improves historical realism too.

Now that rams are available to all civs, it's no longer necessary for

A frequent complaint is that ranged troops are too effective in 0 A.D.
They're supposed to die quickly, however, they get the same resistance
increases as melee troops. This limits the advanced and elite resistance
bonus to melee only (thus also excluding healers) and reduces the
resistance of ranged champions and heroes by two levels, to stay in pace
with their elite counterparts.
As a consequence, nothing changes for basic ranged troops, but advanced
are about 11% easier to kill, and elite, champion, and heroes about 23%.

The carnyx was a long, bronze, Celtic trumpet and used on the
battlefield; its sound would intimidate opponents.
This patch introduces a trainable infantry champion for the carnyx-using
actor, at the assembly, and adds a generic template and an aura file,
which lowers the attack damage of nearby enemy soldiers a bit.
While it has an aura that could make a difference, it has no training
restrictions (unlike heroes); to compensate for that, it has a higher
cost, less resistance and less attack damage than other champions. If it
turns out to make the Gauls too strong, its values can be adjusted in
the future.
Having this (historically attested) unit would make the Gauls less
similar to other civs.
The specific name was suggested by @genava55 on the forums.

Foundations were originally made conquest critical in 722578fdcd.
However, it remains rather frustrating that a player can evade defeat by
placing an unbuilt, uncommitted foundation. While allies can revive a
player with only a foundation, that cannot happen in 1v1, where it is
simply undue frustration, and the inconvenience seems greater than the
feature.
This thus removes them again from the conquest critical list.

This was SVN commit r24610.
Artillery is not that effective in 0 A.D., partly because their damage
per second is unimpressive (especially compared to rams or war
elephants), partly because of their splash damage.
Splash damage was added in f72d820cd4 (nearly eight years ago). The
values have changed multiple times, as has the exact calculation (see
simulation/components/Attack.js). While it's quite interesting in
theory, in practice it's not that effective. @fatherbushido explained
how it works on the forums. It's important to understand the actual
splash damage depends on the distance to the centre of entities, in
contrast to ordinary attacks, which do full damage when they hit the
footprint (edge).
Splash damage has some serious problems:
- It may have no effect vs entities with footprints longer than the
splash radius, such as many (most?) structures and warships.
- The AI does not take it into account.
- It's anachronistic: exploding shells did not exist yet in 0 A.D.'s
timeframe. Missiles were rigid objections, and even the very largest
projectiles were well under a metre in diameter.
This patch therefore removes splash damage from artillery (except bolt
shooters).
Fireships and fireraisers now deal fire damage instead of a combination
of other damage types.
Basically, stone throwers are good against large unit masses and
structures only, while bolt shooters are unit killers.
Artillery and bolt towers no longer get additional projectiles from
garrisoned units.
Roman artillery does not get a larger range but keeps the increased
damage.
