For germans, I was wondering if we could explore the inverse of what the game used to do with with the "hellenes" faction. That is choosing a civ being Cimbri and others and phase 1 is specific with maybe some bonii techs and phase2 and 3 (and 4 for de) are common for civs that eventually unified.

@Frederick_1 Thanks for sharing these replays! I’ve uploaded them to the Replay Pallas. The other tournament replays I was able to recover are MacWolf vs 20R_Seb, and those are uploaded as well.

Now that the tournament is finished, it would be nice to have the game replays of the matches, or at least most important or remarkable Games. I do not know how it is appreciated to post Replays of games of other players for "privacy" reasons, but I will start with the Final Match ValihrAnt vs. SaidRtz. Sadly, as far as I know none of this was live streamed. I packed each game of this 5 rounds match into a zip. Hope it works.   Vali-Said-Game_1.zip Vali-Said-Game2.zip Vali-Said-Game3.zip Vali-Said-Game4.zip Vali-Said-Game5.zip

I know, I saw it. And it is really a great idea you had. The idea is good. You are pointing out the issue about the Persians, but we could have the same issue with other civs no? Romans and Germans notably.

I don't know about the leaks and roofer comparison..  About autotrain, the feature wouldn't probably be considered for vanilla integration for good reasons. It introduces technicalities and over 20 buttons each supporting 3 different interactions (scroll, left click, right click..), even if it wasn't that hard to use, it was done too empirically resulting in something that complexify the UI by quite a bit... Which makes it ok as mod, but probably not for vanilla.   Now I've recently proposed a system that offers the similar gameplay improvements, or even more in some areas, by having a very general way to queue production orders. This system currently introduce :  0 New UI elements 0 New hotkey Should-be perfect play-flow No automation feeling, since actions are initiated by user, and no overlay look like pupeting another like with autotrain. This, in my view, this makes it much more likely to be merged into vanilla. But currently I haven't got much feedback, so if you want to contribute on this feel free to do so here.
