My take: City-states: Athenians, Spartans, Thebans Hellenistic Empires: Macedonians, Seleucids, Ptolemies Eastern Empires: Persians, Mauryans, Han Republics: Romans, Carthaginians Tribal societies: Britons, Gauls, Iberians, Germans I cannot place Kushites though...

@Stan` I can do shorts, or trailers. But I'm open to trying out whatever you guys need.

Its also something I have wanted to do, but I have had a hard time coming up with good ways of group them with unique bonuses... you are giving some good ideas similarly here! Either one of you can PM me with how to set some of this stuff up Tribals I know Gauls/Brits and they already have something similar... I would think Germans could be put in that category? But the way the base game added germans they are quite different in their structures... so I didn't want to change that yet. Would Iber be in the tribal group? There are 16 civs, about 4 groups of 4 would be nice

It seems it's a single IP creating a lot of accounts, but I don't think the forum software allows us to block it.

He is after 500 AD, is this not a problem for DE?

Maybe Bahram V is worth adding?

I agree civs should be grouped somehow at some point, or things will become unwieldy, and it would be nice if they share some common important characteristics. That’s also why I supported the Confederacies idea for tribes, and proposed the Leagues one for the Greeks.

A recommendation: why dont you we have groups of different civs like city-states, empires, tribal societies, pastoral nomads etc which have common attributes within the group and are differentiated with civs from another group? Example: city-states have lower available manpower i.e. population, but each citizen is more motivated i.e. better stats in economy and/or fighting. Empires have more manpower i.e. population but citizens are subjects i.e. worse states. Pastoral nomads have lower building or tech prerequisites. Trival societied have cheaper but less sturdy buildings etc.

Ha, it’s THE god, that book says “Ohrmazd”, which is just another name for Ahura Mazda, the supreme god of Zoroastrianism. But I realise I made a mistake, since when I wanted to check which one was which, I just looked fast on Wikipedia, and it’s wrong! That book and other sources (https://www.livius.org/articles/place/naqs-e-rustam/naqs-e-rustam-photos/naqs-e-rustam-investiture-relief-of-ardasir-i) state that Ardashir I is the one on the left! But no issue, here a coin with Ardashir using the crown we want (from https://www.vcoins.com/de/stores/pashiz_coins_ltd/282/product/sasanian_empire_ardashir_i_2234240_ar_drachm_ctesiphon_ex_john_c_huntington_collection/1872615/Default.aspx, and which is apparently the crown of Ahura Mazda):

Are the crowns a civ bonus or do they need to be researched? I was thinking who has the insolance to wear a larger crown. Turns out its a god so i guess it is allowed...

Yeah, we're certainly intending to remove them. I just mean it's easy to see for us even if no one reports it

The Yayoi culture is beginning to come to life in World Rising!!! I’m working on many different aspects of the civilization, creating clothing, armor, weapons, cultural objects, and many other details to bring even more identity, immersion, and historical authenticity to the game. More updates coming soon!!!!

Yes, its something I was talking to steven about the other day.. Was probably going to do Han next... but so many other little things trying to clean up. Also what would it bring to the table/how would it elevate them. PM me some ideas and we can definitely start planning at least one of them. Just keep in mind we are trying to focus on 500 BCE to 100 CE... so if the empire phase didn't occur until after that, probably not worth it. But Pretty sure Han started before then.

Someone claimed it's bad for site ranking with search engines if obvious garbage is up?

I'm not going to say you shouldn't report spam posts, but I will say that generally it's not difficult to see which threads are spam threads, so it's not a big deal if they aren't reported. We are grateful for all posts in other topics though, they are harder to find when e.g. looking through the new posts page.

FTR, I’m not going to go into every post and report it though.

I believe it's better to report those posts to the mod team via the three dots at the top right than pinging individual mods.

If we are going for historical accuracy, should other civs have empire phase (like Persians, Macedonians, Han, and others)

Help!!!! Thousands of new bot threads!’n @Stan` @wowgetoffyourcellphone

1.6 is out

It's basically the same code, but I didn't expose all the stuff. e.g Aliases are notoriously a touchy subject. The weights are the default weights the mod had at the time I wrote the app Indeed, I probably haven't updated the code since my last PR. It's hard for me to estimate how much people use replay pallas so updates are usually low in my list of tasks (which is already massive)

@leopard the code may be similar, but LocalRatings (the mod) and Replay Pallàs are independent from each other. So, any change to the mod does not affect Pallàs. LocalRatings (the mod) has a filter menu where the minimim number of matches can be set, as well as other filters. Without having checked myself, I guess Replay Pallàs shows the results with a default combination of filters (as well as a default combination of weights). It probably makes sense that Pallàs uses one default choice: switching from a combination of filters to another implies recalculating the leaderboard in some cases (not when the minimum amount of matches is changed, but for other filters). LocalRatings (the mod) is already case-insensitive. This was implemented not long ago, so I assume Pallàs is based on an older LR version.
