Oh, you are right, of course! The reason I asked Claude to provide spec files was that I wanted ensure all documents and the additonal data set for mercator's world map (forms a possible basis for selecting terrain tiles from public DEM sources) are included. the result is ratehr complex and unpleasant to read while your script is straightforward and understandable. I prefer yours actually.

That is a very good idea, @Grautvornix! Transferring the defeated ally's remaining resources to their surviving ally fits the theme remarkably well. It also creates a great strategic synergy with @Asher's revival concept: those inherited resources can directly help the surviving player afford the high cost of restoring their ally at the Embassy later. We could even make it so that you inherit 100% of their resources if you already have an Embassy built (acting as a secure diplomatic treasury), or 50% without one.    

Thanks a lot, @Grautvornix! Building a test mod around this with you and @Asher would be awesome! You make a great point about allied garrisoning already existing in the base game—turning that into a real, structured comeback mechanic is exactly what we are aiming for. If you're up for prototyping a mod for testing, we could start with a simple V1 to see how fun it feels in-game before adding complex rules: The Embassy building (unlocked in Town Phase, using an existing building model as a placeholder). Survival rule: As long as at least 1 allied citizen is garrisoned inside, that faction isn't defeated. "Restore Fallen Ally" option: A hefty flat resource cost (e.g., 500 food/wood/stone/metal) at the Embassy to spawn 4–5 allied citizens if they were eliminated. Mechanics like continuous resource upkeep, healer requirements, or XP gain could always be added later in a V2 once the core loop works. Let me know how I can help with the game design or playtesting!

Hi, I've known about 0ad for a long time, but I'm still a total beginner when it comes to actually playing the game. I play a little every few months—usually as Christmas approaches. Are there actually any pre-made Kamania maps out there that I can download and play? with best

Hi, I'd like to test ModernGUI R28. Right now, I'm only playing single-player against the AI. What will it be like later in online mode? Will all players need the same mod for it to work? with best
