While I cannot make any promises about Nephalim eventually returning to the project, sporadic progress and further updates on the mod will continue in the future.
While Neph takes a break, there is still plenty of scripting and coding to be done for the mod. Also, the team and I are in close contact with him, so even though the project might be on the backburner, it is by no means dead.
The port to A26 is pretty close to finished by this point, so that might hit in the upcoming weeks.
the current UI has been scaled for 1080p AKA Full HD screens. If the UI doesnt properly fit on your screen, I would advice to go to your appdata folder. Simply type %appdata% in your windows search bar and hit enter. In your Appdata/Roaming/0ad/config folder, open the user.cfg file. In there, either edit or add the following line: gui.scale = "0.8". When you save and restart 0ad afterwards, the UI will be 80% of its original size, meaning you can also set it to 0.9 or 0.85 for personal preference, hope that helps.
I believe they are meant to act as resource drainers, so you have to put them near resources to gather them.
The game should represent this area with a circle surrounding the unit in question whenever you have it selected.
First of all, the mod presenting you with those 3 maps is intentional and not a bug.
The entire construction mechanic is now being regulated by the node system, meaning that every map that has been introduced since then, has to be redesigned and partially remade from scratch. Partially as in, 95% of the assets already exist, so that probably gives Nephalim a headstart.
Also, as a result of the node system's concrete nature, it should make this task more straightforward.
As for your UI scaling issue, this is a known problem with players that diverge from the 16:9 resolution factor e.g. 1920*1080.
I will simply copy what I have done for those that have run into this before.

As a final note, if you have any questions or bugs to report, you can also do so on our public discord: Discord.gg
Most of the factions in the game do not have official AI support yet. Also, the newer factions haven't received proper balancing either with regard to stats and techs. This will be worked on in the future.
The factions that are currently supported are the Kingdom of Hyrule, The Gerudo and the Zora Dominion.
On a final note, when playing on maps with a minor faction like the Zuna or Lon Lon Ranch, make sure to set their AI to 'unassigned' to prevent AI errors.
Dear user, in order for HC to show up in the mod selection window, you will need to unpack the zip file inside your documents/my games/0ad/mods folder.
What you should end up with is a folder there called 'Hyrule'.
If you have any previous installations of HC it is required to delete those first. Also, the most recent version of 0ad is currently incompatible with the mod. You will have to get your hands on the Alpha 23 version here instead. Moddb.com.
We are aware of the AI issues and are working on a hot fix that will probably be released somewhere within the upcoming weeks.
This will include many fixes and reworked AI systems among other known problems with this release so stay tuned.
Most of the info you are asking for can be found on the public HC discord here: Discord.gg
If you would like to receive more updates on HC and its features you can join the patron discord by supporting UndyingNephalim via Patreon.
To give a more direct answer to your first question already though, the Christmas update will mostly consist of updates on previous factions, a new UI, a reworked hero system, rebalance of the first 6 factions + techs, and many bug fixes for older issues.
1. While the bushes do not respawn when when they are gathered down to 0, they do respawn almost immediately when deleted.
In that case, I am pretty sure what part I would have to investigate to fix that problem.
This message is intended for people that get a large flood of errors after they enter single player games with the AI.
For the people with Windows PC's, Go into your appdata/local/0ad/cache folder and delete the Hyrule folder thats there. Also, go to appdata/roaming/0ad and delete the config folder. After that's done, restart your game and those issues should be fixed.
For those that dont know where the appdata folder is, type %appdata% in your windows search bar and it should be there.
Finally, we are aware that multiplayer games are currently causing engine crashes, we will look into that issue in the upcoming days.
First of all, thanks for your comment. I was playing the Kokiri recently just for fun and I noticed the berry seeder problem as well, but that should be an easy fix. It also seems to stop spawning the bushes, once the earlier ones have been depleted.
- The Labrynna rifle unit doing 800 damage in total is a meme at this point, but it will rebalanced for sure.
- I believe the reason everything was moved into the same building was so Nephalim didn't have to adapt every Kokiri building mesh to look nice for the new 'units exiting buildings' feature.
- The Gerudo Ice Archer is probably one of the strongest archer units in HC atm (aside from the Labrynna Conqueror obviously), but as we speak, the Hylian and the Gerudo balance overhauls have almost taken effect. Whether that will be released in a more recent patch or version 0.9, I am not sure yet, the HC team will discuss it when it is ready.
If you find anything else, please dont hesitate to notify us on Moddb or through the public HC discord.
0AD has mac support so it should work fine as Hyrule Conquest is technically a mod that makes use of that engine.
The Battalion system is a part of the upcoming release. It's not included in version 0.7
Should be August 31st for the public.
