"Helots 25% less dmg, range and spread than normal citizen infantry, but same gather rates as civlians.  They also only have 50 HPs but cost only 40 food and 10 wood or stone. They don't recieve forge techs"

Fair enough. Also, javelins at that time were not just some long pointy stick, a very important part of them was the ankyle, a leather loop used to throw them, increasing their range by at least 50% (I haven't proposed it as tech because it precedes the timeframe of the game). This would require some throws to get a proper hang of it, which one could assume someone owning one would have, unlike helots. Then, besides range you could also penalise accuracy. A channel that could be of interest for some around:  

Bread. Every culture has their own take on bread, you can have it savory or sweet, and it goes with pretty much everything. My personal favorites are fry bread and Japanese milk bread.

The games where one can make a comeback out of a very dire situation also have sweetest victory. Maybe it could be a announcement when a threshold of score dis-balance is reached in the game in the oddity detector mod if I revive it. Since your leaving (or atm. feel that way), I'd like to shine on a game where diagonalo had the fastest boom in R28, multiplayer that I attended by min. 13 going by the most resources spend. And all with just 2 extra apple trees in your base. The trick was to reach 2 berry spots far out of base with barracks. This game also made me question this metric a bit, because I was maur and going for the hero Chanakya before doing the military techs. This reduces the tech costs by -20%. And this kind of shortcut isn't reflected in this metric at all. But anyway gg commands.txt
