Taking the liberty to show off something Pureon whipped up (textures are a serious work in progress):

Hello Jeru, Yes, our school is private, but it is not particularly selective-- you need to pass an entrance exam (SSAT-- more information at http://www.ssat.org/ssat/info/home.html) and write out an application complete with recommendations from parents, teachers, and extra-curricular activity coordinators to get in. Most students don't need to be motivated to learn the languages-- a fair number of them have already had prior knowledge of Latin or Ancient Greek and place into a Sophomore or even Junior level class in Freshman year! Also, there is almost no limit to learning in most fields at my high school because it is affiliated with Boston University, a major research university. We eat and study at BU-- This summer I might take a course in basic Middle Egyptian (the language of the Ancient Egyptian Middle Kingdom). There are many classes to choose from, so those who enjoyed the classics in Freshman and Sophomore years often continue to study them at BU in Junior and Senior year. For more information, see our official website: http://www.bu.edu/academy/ If anyone else has questions about the Academy, please feel free to ask me via PM. Thanks for asking! Jason

What if when melee units get too close, ranged units switch to a knife or something if they are set to Stand Ground stance. Otherwise they'd run.

Also, I just found this website that could help with the Sanskrit names for the Buildings--Here is a list of the building names from the original post of this thread in both Sanskrit and English: Civilization Centre: madhya House: vasati Corral/Animal Pen: vivIta Mill (wood and mineral dropsite): khalla Farmstead (food dropsite): kSetrikagRha Farm Field: kSetra Palisade (wooden wall): Aphalaka Outpost (wooden tower): uparakSaNa Barracks: sainyAvAsa Dock: naukAsthAnaka Market: ApaNa Temple: devAlaya Defense Tower (usually stone): aTTa Stone Wall: bhitti Wall Tower: attaka Gate: dvAra Fortress: purA There were MANY other Sanskrit words for some of the English words, especially for tower and wall, so I suggest consulting somebody who knows Sanskrit to find the best word, but for now I think this is a decent list. Here is the URL of the website: http://spokensanskrit.de/ In addition, I found a journal article on the Naval history of Ancient India-- I haven't had the time to go through it, but it might be relevant and we could possibly be able to pull some valuable information from it. http://ccbs.ntu.edu..../JR-ENG/cha.htm After more research, I have found a better resource on Ancient Indian ships: http://www.swahiliweb.net/ziff_journal_3_files/ziff2006-05.pdf It includes pictures, but they're not the best quality!
