There isn't anything wrong with the AI difficulty names, and most other RTS games are using this nomenclature. Professional? So, you can become a professional in 0 A.D.? Professional is a person who has a profession. And Easy is way too easy for an intermediate player.

We did give Cataphracts a small circular crush splash dmg... because when they charged a line of infintry it usuelly ended up poorly for the infantry too. Champ cav do have bonus against other cav.... but potenitally giving spear cav some sort of splash dmg based on their usage could be warrented.

Should we provide multiple models of Kurgans and have a random selection which one to build and show? Or provide the user with options?  Or build a fresh one (with bpepples and let it "decay" over time of game into a grass covered kurgan? I don't know....
