Blender provided a full human body (even skull) repository for free in their webpage and also Animal Fur Examples wich i used for the cape. 

@Thalatta I think polls can certainly help foster discussion around certain proposals, but at the same time, 0 A.D. doesn’t really work as a democracy where changes are decided by majority opinion. It’s also very hard to get participation that is truly representative enough to justify implementing something simply because “most people voted for it”. Your intention to improve aspects of the game is genuinely valuable, and I think that kind of feedback will always be appreciated. That said, personally, I don’t think posting 20 suggestions at once is the most effective strategy if the goal is to eventually see some of them materialize as actual PRs in the repository. I think there’s also an important aspect of the development dynamics that’s easy to underestimate from the outside. All official developers and contributors are working on the game in their free time. There’s an enormous amount of work to do, many competing priorities, and far more ideas than available hands. I can’t really speak on behalf of the official developers since I’m still a relatively recent contributor myself, but in my own experience, the most effective path is usually either: working directly on a PR yourself, or getting the attention of another contributor/developer who becomes interested enough in the proposal to implement it. Always keep in mind that submitting a PR does not guarantee that it will be merged. For what it’s worth, I do think some of your suggestions are interesting, and I’d personally love to spend time on some of them eventually. For example, the last one you mentioned about being able to deselect specific units from the current selection sounds genuinely useful to me. And above all, don’t get frustrated. Some ideas will work out, become PRs, and eventually get merged and others won’t. That’s just part of how open-source development tends to work (at least here). What really matters is maintaining a constructive attitude and trying to filter, among all the things one would personally love to improve in this beautiful game, which ones are realistic and feasible enough to actually move forward and become reality.

Maybe MakeHuman could be useful for some of these tasks.

Yes but that’s usually something newer players will do; not pros. There is no point of having 4 barracks if you don’t have the economy to always keep them training. Depending on the value of the production building, let’s say a barracks, you could have enough wood for 4 or 6 more soldiers to increase your wood intake depending on civ. It’s a problem I see a lot with newer players and even some “veterans” make. Nussantara in particular will build 6 stables when he doesn’t have the resources to train from all 6 so one or more is always idle.

Yes, you do have to get gatherers and stuff, but then you can just build like 20 barracks or something; it doesn't seem very economical to me. That's fine if you don't change it though
