Hello, my name is Senaron and I played the original Total war mod and spoke with Undying a good few times on total war center, even helping with balance fixes for some of the factions (like Ikana and the Deku Kingdom) late in it's life. I was curious about this mod and the game it runs on in general and would also like to cheer on your efforts to keep it alive!

Good catch. But, you could have a unit of left-handed slingers, as was the case of the Judean Benjamites (although the source is the Bible): "Among Benjamin’s elite troops, 700 were left-handed, and each of them could sling a rock and hit a target within a hairsbreadth without missing".

In Single player mode, I typically start assigning my civilians to building a farm behind the berries and after that assign them to harvest the berries. The farm is initially used as a food dropsite only, but in the future (when the berries are depleted) I can build fields around the farm (up to 8). While doing that I let the CC produce 1 + 5 more civilians and assign them to the berries. When the berries are almost empty, I assign 5 of my civiclians to building one or two fields for the 10 civilians to work on. As soon as you have enough supplies research teh framing upgrade in the farmhouse ( I typically ignore the whisker basket for gathering as this technology will be researched only after the berries are depleted). Meanwhile, the cavalry scout is sent to hunting chicken and sheep or goats (whatever is avaliable that does not run away so fast) to keep up initial food supply. Later on the scout is sent hunting deer, camels, horses etc. The initial citizen soldiers are sent to cut wood, potentially also with a dropsite next to the forest, ideally such that it can be reused for stone or metal as well in case there is a mine or quarry next to the trees. try keeping walking distances short and upgrade woodcutting (in the dropsite) technology early. With the initial food supply (that needs to be keept continuously flowing) I keep spawning civilians and send them for wood cutting next to the storehouse (wood supply needs to be continuous as well). When I have reached the initial population limit (20), I use a few of the wood cutters for building one house either next to the CC or next to the planned array of fields (later on, this is intended to from a closed ring of houses around the array of fields protecting farming civilians in case of an attack when an alarm is raised. Meanwhile we can produce three pikemen that can build and man a small tower next to the CC providing some extra protection. Ideally such, that the defense coverage of the tower also covers some other buildings or the field(s). Later on more ranged infantry and civilians can be produced for woodcutting. Don't forget to build a few more fields and put civilians on them for farming. Also produce more houses.  If possible, try arranging woddcutting with citizen soldiers such that they operate next to the potential direction of attack so they can delay an incoming attack and provide the necessary time to ring the alarm in the CC and teh farmers and civilians can seek cover in the houses and the CC.

(tunic should go over left shoulder so right arm is free, that goes for all of these) Looks good. I think his pectorals could be slightly higher tho, anatomically. *and yes, the old texture's pecs are too low too
