Just a nit. Not really a coincidence, engaging chatbots already existed in the 70' (tho computers were somewhat harder to come by compared to today obviously) and we also had an AI race in the 80', just at that time it was between US and Japan. LLMs (branding) aren't much different, it's basically better hardware and some continued research in this topic, that is all, the hype is mostly just loooooots of money being spent and somewhat broader availability.

Good point. That's why malfunctions and potential exploits should be addressed.  PD: I need someone to give me perspectives I'm missing. Feedback is very welcome. That way I can develop my idea.

Several changes have been implemented regarding the camera and map dimensions. The largest map now has a diameter 2.5 times that of the "giant" size. The camera has also become more flexible, with its minimum and maximum altitude ranges significantly adjusted; this allows for a human-eye-level perspective and a view of the horizon, while also providing enough height to spot anti-aircraft missiles and jet aircraft, exciting features currently in development.

Yes, although not very precisely, since it could refer in general to any passenger carried on deck.   I proposed an Hoplitagogos (Hoplite Carrier) tech to increase the garrisons of Threes for certain civs like Spartans, Achaemenids (in their language) and coming Thebans, to improve their boarding chances. Maybe instead this could be used to train infantry on ships, but one has to be careful not to end with a boarding force spawn. I think I didn't mention the Hippagogos (Horse Carrier), to have it in mind also.

I forgot the greek name... Epibatai (?) My idea is to launch maritime invasion operations and carry out raids; I was thinking about that yesterday when I was showing you the riverboats. The ship trains troops on board before launching "Blitzkrieg" operations. I like that concept so that ships aren't so boring. I'm going to leave a channel I follow with a couple of thoughts.
