For one, you seem to be pushing this the most and you dont even play the mod Secondly, as we have discussed via pm the further away from the base game, the less likely people will try it. Granted very few people try it so far! But most people aren't interested in the historically accuracy. Balance is key and Im not sure how this would work balancewise and all the retweaking it would take. That being said I'm willing to "compromise" and play around with it a little via "Pre Alexander" Greek Factions (Sparta, Athens, and Thebans) Hoplite tradition p2 already gives a speed bonus, and it does make some since to reduce armor a little for that. I will also create "Greek" techs for those 3 civs to replace the ones other civs use. first Hack/Pierce resistance will only give 0.5 of the armor but 3% faster movent second one will not add armor, but instead add 3% more mobility and the last one will remove -0.5 but add 4% so while other civs can gain 3-4 of each resitance greek civs can gain 10% mobility but with no armor gain. Question is should p1 hopelites start with more or less armor than successor state pikeman, and same question for mobility. I dont want to throw things out of wack too much. -

Ok so in this case, it is only this image: You would need to redraw the pattern from the original artifact, the Desborough Mirror -
1) Just to invert ordering?, 2) Well, better to educate on how things actually were, the armor evolution feeds a common misconception. And all this of course not for all techs, but when they represent something that can be seen, as armor. Unit evolution could be represented with other things that make more sense, like helmet crests or more complete (but coherent) equipment (if there are models around already, otherwise not visually evolving at all would be even more accurate). I've thought that even better would be that some techs, for example linothorax, could unlock new units, after all it coexisted with the previous types of armor, although of course balancing stats to have maybe still some use cases for the older types would take more work, and the new types should be preferable. But this would add some complexity to the game, and maybe just the later trend should be considered. Same issue as before. -
All our art allows commercial use, so we'd be breaking that license -
