Textiles indeed comprise an important part of ancient (and contemporary) societies, and adding them to the game would enrich it for sure, but please note it is a manufactured good and not a resource.

All that I think is one of the most important things to solve right now in the realm of stuff that can be off putting for new players. I agree with your edit later on: to show icons instead of text (and hovering on them would show the text), not only looks nicer but after a while one will interpret all that information much faster, which should be the point.

My absolute focus on Gitea is to get what I would think of features for the game to feel great. We should get formations actually useful, add some effects like knockbacks, charges, and other discrete unit abilities. It's almost sad to have a game with elephants that anything can get in it's way, when it actually should be the battle line breaker for example. I have my own preferences about how tooltips should be, I like them to be here for you to get any piece of info about how the game works a player would want to know. Each element can provide important insights for decision making. For example here is a tooltip I like for building capture bar: I don't count neither how many tooltips (there are literally hundreds) that I reworked over... multiple times... I don't want to exhaust scarce reviewer time and own on it at the moment, because it's often very subjective as for what's best, so easily a time sink. And the UI can anyway be modded anyway, like you do in DE too. So for the time being that would be a pass for me.

Run looks good. I think when animals walk though their legs get fully extended.     

This is definitely a good solution. As a writer, I just hate having no full-stop at all.
