Is there a bug with replays? I have a replay of me (Romans) vs Medium AI (Chinese). In the actual match, I won, but when replayed, the AI wins. One thing I notice is that the workers I had assigned to collect stone in the real match are idle in the replay.

thx, btw, can anyone replicate the following or at least has noticed signle units not retreating (so single units of a group not obeying the walk command as the rest is?)

i have a replay here in which there was a strange pathfinder bug. watch the priest at the farmstead when seb attacked with cav for the first time. i tried to garrison him but could not move. idk where to share that, so i just paste it here. for me right now there is just too many bugs and issues to enjoy 1v1s. i might return to doing that next alpha. 2026-06-21_0009.zip

I think the balance is fine. Spears are strong, but need to close the distance first. Swords are in general worse that spear or jav. Their strength is their fast attack rate to mow down civilians. But they need to run away from anyone with near equal numbers. On Athens: It's a bit skewed anyway atm. since usually champ cavalry and naked fanatics are usually banned from games. Athens have neither and can shine with the other strengths they have. I don't think its so much unfair how they rank up if you compare it to e.g. elephant archers ranking up. SDL2 really has some issues. Most notably the common complete click bug (fix: ctrl+shift + a few left - right clicks). I tried to play with recording the screen with "screenkey" and "key-mon" but the few times I tested I couldn't replicate it. I am convinced some key inputs aren't reliably processed. This results in some players repeating the H hold key - which results in the units first attacking the nearby unit, but on the next H aborting the current attack and starting a new one. But if you only press it once, there's still a bit of doubt if it actually registered. The unequal heros was once discussed here (one version ago though):
