I recently came across this video on Lanciarii, link below for interested parties, and I was curious as to whether this fell within the scope of the current 0 AD time frame. I have two ideas for a Lanciari unit type, both assume a link with Marian Reforms. Eg unlocked by it and having the legionary keyword. The first would be either to revive the old champion skirmisher that used to be present in A23 but was cut entirely from A24 onwards, and have them as an upgrade to legionary skirmishers or a separate entity you train from relevant buildings. A second idea and more unique would be to utilise The Persian immortal template and make a champion unit that switches between javelin and sword. The idea of giving the ranged version a small multiplier against cavalry also came to mind.  

But it has to be consistent and coherent with other civilizations. Too often, there's the immature temptation to want to put everything in every new civ, and this quickly becomes absurd and unbalanced. The Kushites underwent a similar development. I think it is something to keep for a later version of the Germans. Currently, it is based on the Cimbri. When there will be the later Germans, we could add the Cherusci pikemen. But in the meantime, let's focus on the Cimbri.

And maybe too a swordman elite unit, like this:  

I would add an elite unit of spearman, just like the Wodanaz spear from Rome 2 Total War.

Alternatively, you may set up the game to add an ally to help you against the AI.

Interesting, thanks for your work. Can you plan to automatically send resources to other allies?

Hey @Duileoga, Nice work there. Good start with your choices for buildings. Rice fields on point. "Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi" is an interesting choice for the wonder. There are others such as "Ruwanweliseya", "Jethvanaramaya" and "Lovamahapaya" which are also wonder material. "Uposathagara" would indeed make a great cultural building, albeit with a purely religious significance. "Thuparamaya" is a specific temple complex and could also only be used in a religious context. The building designs look amazing and quite accurate too. One improvement I would suggest though, is to do with the shape of the roofs. instead of having a curvature on the top part it would look like: https://www.dreamstime.com/photos-images/sinhalese-architecture.html https://amazinglanka.com/wp/ambalama-heritage-of-sri-lanka/ Another idea for a unique building would be a hydro infrastructure as in the Anuradhapura kingdom there were a lot of reservoirs and other infrastructure for water management, irrigation and public use. https://harindabama.com/2016/01/17/anuradhapura-the-advent-of-buddhism-in-sri-lanka/ https://www.sigiriya.info/about-sigiriya/ https://sigiriyafortress.com/sigiriya-water-fountains/
