To carry it, yes.
To use it without getting killed in the process, less of a guarantee.
And some people did care about that last part.
Tribal societies are ones were everyone is a warrior.
Antiquity societies, quite less so.
Citizen-soldiers are a characteristic of some, but not everyone is a citizen.
Levies are a characteristic of some others, not sure what percentage of male adults are potential levies though (a high number, not necessarily 100%).
It would be nice to have all these in the game, but it's a bit hard to balance.
Years ago, I had an idea for an industrial-centric mod, centered around using railroads to expand (instead of building civic centers to expand your territory) and transporting troops and all that crap.
But I don't know if it's fun or balanced, lol.
opinios about this autistic idea?
i autistic btw.
I would agree.
I know about the upcoming release because I visit Gitea from time to time, but you can't expect that from everyone.
I'm not sure if there's a better way to communicate this than by announcing it on the forum and perhaps on social media. The only other thing I can think of is informing players in the bottom right-hand corner when launching the game that they could help test a new release version.
