    • They should be licensed under that, yes.
    • I fixed the helmet using a very rare one I found in 3D.
    • I'm going to share something I didn't plan to share based on RTW2. Archer, third century. Theory should have a long lorica hamata, third-century helmet, oriental trousers. I couldn't agree on the helmet. It took me many tries. I'm going to use it as a base for drawing it.    
    • Hello again, back from the wild with answers and questions of my own. I am still constructing possible phrases for the audio pack, irl stuff preventing me from focusing on this until recently. However, I have also been updating all the names of units, buildings and some technologies to have proper Proto-Zapotec (pZ) names.  However, I am stuck on choosing between several options for a few buildings/units, because there is no direct translation possible and I ended up crafting multiple viable alternatives.  If possible, could some of you have an opinion on some of the options I will list below for the troublesome translations?  And if there is any idea for an alternate translation, do please let me know. (Note, the usage of a word for "eagle" is to denote championship, because of the concept of the eagle soaring over all, and because it is part of a larger mesoamerican tradition for using certain animals to denote skills and levels of skills) Scout/Sentry/Stone Tower (this is just for the word "tower"): kinilyasa (“tower, (lit.) nest-trunk”).  Alt. kexlli (“tower, (lit.) standing-stone”).  Alt. kexkiya (“tower, (lit.) raised-stone”).  Alt. sshbexekiya (“tower, (lit.) above cloud”).  I am essentially out of ideas how to represent scout at all, save perhaps use the word for "eagle" to denote far-sight or something. Champion Javelineers: Nazale’chisllo’kiya ("raised/uplifted spear thrower").  Alt. Nazale’kiya ("raised/uplifted thrower," there is no champion slingers to contradict such a contraction).  Alt. Nazale’chis Nikwã-ssiya (“Eagle Spear-thrower”). Swordsman/Macuahuitl Warrior: Nike’yu Kiza’naru’ba’ ("macuahuitl(?) man").  Alt. Nike’yu Macahuitl ("Macuahuitl Man").  Alt. Nike’yu Llo’kex ("Obisidian Man").  Alt. Nadile ("fighter" pZ neologism made from a modern Zapotec word of unknown but trustworthy extraction).  ALT FINAL. Nadile Llo’kex ("Obsidian Fighter"). For those wondering, there is no word in proto-zapotec for towers or any kind of fortification, any kind of fighting man, concepts involving war or weapons, save for a single word for 'arrow' (and the neologism I made).  Even modern zapotec dialects/languages appears to have almost swapped any native words they once had for Spanish loanwords .
