We could base the Wonder off of the 5th stupa from Nalanda: I've already given the Guptas (and Sasanians) a University structure, which is classed like the Library of the Successors. Same function, reducing tech research time with the 'Scholarship' global aura, but could be built in an earlier phase. I can put any special techs in the University. What think?    This is a great special tech. I'll include that for sure. The tech icon can be a white horse with an aura about it.   A good idea for a Special Building. Perhaps build one and it adds +20% capture resistance to all other structures. Something like that. 

Indeed! For DE, non-combat heroes are a thing. Each civ can have 4-5 heroes, so having 4 combat heroes or emperors, plus 1 non-combat or non-emperor/leader hero adds some nice variation and choice.  It's good if not all heroes are "kings" or generals. Chanakya for the Mauryas is a great example. 

I definitely still need ideas for all categories!     4 heroes and their bonuses Unit references (for textures, props, and training roster) Mercenary Unit ideas (at least 3) Unique technologies Civ Bonuses Team Bonus Catafalque    

Kids can be very, very good at playing 0 A.D. and many other games as well. The AI is, in fact, very easy to beat with a bit of practice. And you don’t need to defeat the AI on Very Hard before moving on to multiplayer. In the lobby, you can find all kinds of player profiles and skill levels. it's not all tryharding.  The AI needs fundamental improvements instead of compensating for its weaknesses with production and gathering handicaps. Things like better decision-making and creativity. As it stands, the Very Hard AI is much easier to beat than the AI in StarCraft II on Brutal. Also, this game is far less click-intensive than others in its genre. Improving the AI and adding campaigns would be a major contribution to retaining and growing the single-player community. There’s a lot of work to be done, and not enough manpower.

Thank you. Putting this here for future reference: I think mimicking this aesthetic style would still be nice:
