I suppose the - 500 B.C. and 0 A.D cutoff, but I suppose +- 20 years isn't that bad

What do you think about my previous message with the examples from the Gothic bible?

Interesting but it’s an incomplete picture.    1. Corrals use food as a resource input, which is slower to gather.  2. Corrals use of food to gather food also means that the food collection chart will have lots scarcity dips caused by capital investment costs. This is pretty dangerous and can bankrupt a player quickly.  3. Corrals require more micro. 4. Corrals require continual investment/management whereas ice houses just need to be built once.  5. Ice houses are unique to Persia, which has a higher pop cap/ eco potential, so more it’s easier to collect the input resources  6. You’re missing the corral training tech 7. Cows can be batch trained  8. You can build 7 (or more corrals) all at once     all in all, I agree ice houses need a buff but I don’t think it’s as desperate as the above portrays 

I don't know, probably a bad dream.  Thanks for the clarification. Should we use names that do not originate from the migration of the Cimbri?

Hero names were specifically removed from the AI names a while ago (https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/commit/22cbd39bbd46d1bf2e87b8c26ae58f28a6d6fa1e), so that's not an option, unfortunately.
