Just quoting from the same link: But then again, Wu Gang Che would be a more proper name for our Arcuballista/Siege Crossbow. The Shoushe Nu variant of the Siege Crossbow is indeed from the Tang Dynasty.

According the article I quoted above the Siege Tower was already in use in the Warring States period and was still in use during the Han Dynasty. A better translation/choice would be Long Che (High Cart) instead of the Lin Chong Lu Gong Che (Duke Lu's Overlook Assault Cart)

New version for current SVN here: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/354885/0ad/charts-0.0.17.zip Will re-check after release.

Just my 2 cents: While the technology certainly existed, Han army never used stone-thrower as siege weapon until Three Kingdoms period, AFAIK. However two other siege weapons can be found on Han period arsenal records: The lián nǔ chē （连弩车）and wǔ gāng qiáng nǔ chē （武刚强弩车, shortened to wǔ gāng chē 武刚车）. The lián nǔ chē is (believed to be) an up-scaled version of the repeating crossbow. The wǔ gāng qiáng nǔ chē is a horse-drawn wagon armed with heavy crossbow. Usually formed into a Laager (Wagon fort). Battering ram or chōng chē（冲车）are recorded as well. Oh, and that gigantic siege tower lǚ gōng chē （吕公车）seems to be a much later design (Song dynasty and later).

Minor changes in both Parthia and Sassanid unit: Grivpanvar removed from both Parthia and Sassanid unit roster. Sassanid have Aswaran-i Wuzurgan (Grandee Cavalry) as replacement.

I'll see if I cant scrape this together into a modpack soon here's some concept art on the period heavy armor I'm not sure if it was used in conjunction with charioteers or as heavily armored footmen, but both could be pretty neat champion units.

So basically all tech pairs have been removed for the time being? I can understand why this was done for economic techs, but it doesn't really seem necessary for military techs as long as its a choice between melee and ranged, not just spearmen and skirmishers. The fortifications and temple techs work fine as tech pairs.

the textures will need some sharpening, and the buildings still need to be propped. the dock, market and corral are still on my to-do list. and I made some Achaean spear dudes
