Ok, but I see you said "I know longer have any conversations between us before may 15th. If it was in a previous CWA post, remember all my posts got wiped accidentally cause they thought i was a spam bot", meaning, that from before May 15 your inbox didn't get wiped out, right? You deleted the multiple pages of messages on purpose because you took the necessary notes, right? Then, you should have the corrections you haven't implemented yet still written around, right?
What I tell you is always pretty clear, extensive, and sourced, you just choose to not pay attention, dismiss it, forget it, ask again, write unintelligibly, and repeat from the start, for then use ChatGPT for it to tell you whatever you want to hear.
But even ChatGPT will tell you things like (just testing it):
Sparta: Limited/occasional use of stakes; not a defining tactic.
Macedon: More reliance on sarissa pikes than ground spikes; obstacles used defensively when useful.
Rome: Most systematic use of stakes and other field obstacles, thanks to strong military-engineering traditions.
So, as I've told you before with many things: you are wasting your energy and not being more accurate than vanilla if you indiscriminately add at the same level stuff that is irrelevant for some and characteristic for others.
Id have too double check, but I probably going to try and spend less time on forums since it doesn't seem to be very productive. I guess you can always send me a PM, i usually get those notices. The earliest conversation I have from you is the spread convo from may 22nd, then "Spartans" May 27th followed by "want to help" June 3rd
Currently all civs should have. The main reason I brought it back was because then we can also make cav a little stronger and more useful, even for civs that don't have strong cavalry, they can protect a little with spikes. Since I'm having a hard time keeping track on forums and I guess understanding some of what you are saying, currently ChatGPT is my main source. It's said its plausible that all civs during the time would and could have built something similar to help deter cavalry.
IMHO these are not strong enough reasons to avoid making the game better. With an About dialog we could have a facility to send a bug reports from inside the game or take and send screenshots ;-) Assuming we could create a service on the other end for receiving them.
It appears on the main two, which are the menu and the game My experience with additional steps is that nobody follows them, look at all the incomplete bug reports copying text that tell them to do extra steps
Edit for screenshots, on macOS I ussually don't use the ingame tool cause I have no clue where the images are gonna be
