Currently re-using the Western European art assets for placeholders, I have just committed the partially complete faction over at the repository https://github.com/0ADMods/xiiiad
Good to see you back working a lot @wackyserious. Quick tip: the whole structure is very good, only thing you will need later wich was a difficult task since its kinda complicated start adding random handplace vegetation around, is add with props bushes and moss over the walls or hanging moss on the watchtower to mix the building with the enviroment. Keep it up!

With the new alpha 24 release, I can download it and work with it at least for testing purposes. I'm using a neighbor connection, thought is shared between 3 houses and the connection sometimes get very awfully.
Besides working more than 8 hours pero day.
At least with the work I've managed to buy my laptop another 4gb ram and managed to get stable blender working environment with 8gb and also a keyboard and not messing around my laptop keyboard.
Sometimes in the night I read the forum but can't answer when the signal is poor. ( literallly the page never load the reply box). Hope continue working soon.

Lastly, I loved Stronghold fires
Maybe an special unit fast but weak to infiltrate on the enemy base and torch it, like an "always running" citizen able to torch barracks, houses, civic centers, farmlands, stables, but not walls, towers and defensive buildings.
if ability with cd were implemented. i thought on this because a reference drawing of an early ancient desertic civilization that was posted about a year ago.

Testing a new pc performance on blender changed a bit the 4th row walking animation. @Nescio
SpoilerCurrent animation could be used when the syntagma is currently advancing to attack nearby enemies maybe. Tought the 4 animations are now Straight and keeped both animations on Blend Files.

Short question while my internet works, first row bends. Solution: Straight up the animation of the infantry?

They're supposed to be iron. Also, could you add at least two more below the platform?
Don't remember, but i reduced saturation so now is iron only.
So 4 scythes bellow the platform right?

can you point this ? sorry i couldn't understand what you mean.
(This response is from the same day you answered but i didn't had internet till now) -
@Nescio would it be time to commit the last charioth with the corrections or i should left the actual one? intended as replacement of the actual persian champion charioth
SpoilerHere with the listed corrections:
SpoilerNo forward/horizontal scythes on the yoke.
Lower blades below the cart.
Open Back.
Only a central beam.
Curved yoke for match the horse back.- 3

Here's a quick dirty bake from a personal project as an example of detail-is-not-everything.
You can test this texture set out hidetail textures.rar on an m_armor_tunic_long and compare in-game (downscaling to 256 first) with the regular zoom option with any other unit that looks similar, and you'll see how little benefit for gameplay visuals these do.
Even with much less details than this, some fancy shader effects allowing to see reflections moving when the unit moves is much more impactful than any super-duper-detailed textures you create.
Small preview:
That skin shader looks very good to clean up and add norm map on body if its possible. If its procedurally generated to make all skin tones easily. Also te metal surface.

Awesome job @Alexandermb
If you want to keep pushing it forward, try bothering a dev to implement fake reflections (cubemaps) as an "add" layer to the metal shader and a slider or a way to set up its strength. Metals will look 200% better.
Thank you, Actually i've have mentioned that around 3 or 5 times already in the forum but not directly to a graphic Dev. It certanly would add the fancy fake reflection good enough to make any metal surface looks like actuall metal.

Depending if you will export statics meshes or animations there's a few boxes to toggle before exporting. However I'm not nearby my laptop to send a screenshot from here until some weeks

I'll download it in two weeks when I return to my home

Ammunition would be a bear to micromanage IMHO. Same with too much weapon switching (unless battalions are implemented).
Depending on how its seen, if it has auto refresh after a time it may be considered Cooldown.
If we have an ammunation carriage like Risk of nation with an aura refilling infantry ammunation could reduce micromanage to only a single unit positioning and opening the field to "supply" attack strategy.
if weapon switching is implemented with automatic switching when ammo is 0 or too much close to use ranged weapons wouldn't be micro.
and finally with batallions i don't see any problem since archers will have to fully retreat with a single click to replenish instead of selecting a whole group of single infantry. Just like you mentioned.
For one side the micro management of ammo would make players twink twice on attacking whitout supplies and relying more on melee infantry/cavalry. and less to massification of proyectil before melee hits.It has his pros and cons. Wouldn't really know until the feature is fully implemented with every option mentioned above is up to the plan.

i've keept reading the forum everytime i have the opportunity, glad to see the Xiongnu structure meshes served a bigger purpose than a nomadic faction haha! would be good if you import all the vegetation of hellenic structures and port them to your new meshes. Thats how i've made the Byzantine wonder garden,.
