I'm very familiar with Ellalan as he was a Chola prince who conquered Sri Lanka around 200 B.C. There are historical sources such as the Mahavamsa you can refer but like you said, it's difficult to find graphical representations. I'll look into it and see what I can find 

yeah, but you can set it to just "ctrl" and make the other one unbound.

Is this CTRL+Q click? Because that's just monstrously difficult to do in game. I appreciate the help, but anything that basically means builsongs are ignored unless explicitly asked to be attacked/captured would be a bonus in future releases.

I recommend binding "attack move (units only)" in place of the current attack move.

There’s no need for speculation or a revisionist history on why slower train times failed in a24.  Comments were very clear that the player base doesn’t like a slower paced game.  Users also noted that slower train times were extremely unforgiving. You couldn’t recover if lost one big fight since you couldn’t rebuild your population quickly enough to defend against an invading army. 

The speed of a pigeon is approximately 26.94ms-1   or 97km/h [1] The known 0ad player who is geographically the closest to me is approximately 6.4km away (direct distance). This implies a single trip of a packet needing 237.6 seconds to travel between us; the ping would be 475.2 seconds. If I want to play with anybody else in Europe and around the world, the ping would exceed hours if not days. Bad experience eae    

Yes, modern RTS games are all about the E-sports scene. People forget that a major part in StarCraft's 1 success was that the game had character and a very good story (for its time). It also appealed to casual audience through Use Map Settings custom games, very fun and casual team games and a good balance of easy and hard SP missions. Age of Empires 2 also had fun casual gameplay, even more so than StarCraft.  I guess you've already played Stronghold and, in a way, you want some of that feeling here. But I don't know why would anyone want a "Free Build" game mode in 0 A.D. As for the "laying down houses", just assign a couple of females to build them in quick succession.
