Sorry, I may be mistaken, I didn't notice this post was in the bronze age mod.

Hmm can you post a screenshot of what you mean? I can build all structures for the egyptians.

That is a good idea! They have spies and stuff in a game called 7 Kingdoms.

The problem is one of management, micromanagement specifically. Because you're not only managing your army, you are simultaneously managing your economy, city building, technology research, and overall strategy (macro). When you add management to one aspect (needing to train horses and riders separately), then you need to remove management from somewhere else. Where would you sacrifice management in order to add it to your horse and rider scheme?

The "metal centerpiece" is called a shield boss or simply a boss.

mounting would work for chariots and/or elephants I think, as those units can have an initial attack plus some added attack for mounted units.

Lion.Kanzen: Sorry, I didn't see your request. A link to the official law in question (German): http://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/stgb/__86.html There is no official translation (or I couldn't find it). This law does not say anything about the swastika but refers to it as a "symbol of a party or organization declare unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court" (translated by me as literally as I could). This includes the NSDAP and this includes the swastika as one of their symbols. Nothing is mentioned about how close it has to be to the "original" symbol to a crime to "make it publicly available in a database" (close translation of the part related to our issue). Though (as said before) it's quite unlikely that a German court would declare wildfire games (or whoever charged) guilty it's already a crime to show (host a picture of "make it publicly available in a database") the swastika (a "symbol of a party or organization declare unconstitutional by the Federal Constitutional Court"). (Don't hit me. I didn't write the law) (Don't try to interpret it, it will stay a chargeable crime) (For me this issue is settled: I just don't care enough)

ok, after reading your answer I was able to get something "interesting" : TestBotAI.prototype.OnUpdate = function(){ var gameState = new GameState(this); var test = gameState.updatingCollection("test", Filters.byClass("Worker"), gameState.getEntities()); test.forEach(function(ent) { if( ent.owner() == gameState.player ) { ent.setHitpoints(0); // see below warn( ent.hitpoints() ); } }); warn(test.length);};this code create a collection (named test) of workers and then I set the hitpoints of each entity in test to 0 trough ent.setHitpoints(0). The line, warn( ent.hitpoints() );print 0 as espected, but in game my entities hitpoints aren't updated. I guess it's because the collection copy the values, from the real "entity" value. So now, my first question : it is possible to change hitpoints of an entity trough the AI script ? I guess no, I guess I have to write some code like cheat code and using Engine.PostCommand. So this lead me to another qusetion, it would be more slow to read the true data of the entity ? I mean there is not possible to use a pointer to the true data ? in such case it would be possible to read and write in real time (I mean without having to update the collection). Because right now, if we have to update each "turn" all collections, one for knowing the hitpoints of each entity, it would cost CPU time for nothing if in the game no hitpoints were modified. and moreover collections are using memory (I guess not a big deal). I'm using JS since today, during my break time... so I guessed a lot...

I think such idea are more adapted for a game with a bigger scale.. like FreeCol, FreeCiv and such... I saw there is a campaign map in 0AD, maybe between towns on the map it would be interesting to make some differences between minor and major towns, citys, villages...
