Ok, created a diff: https://code.wildfiregames.com/D1274

I found this, its fan made but I like the concept, and can be make it better and adaptation to 0 A.D.

I can modify yours to be great and useful, other things with actual. yellow don't have proper contrast with white.

@gameboy please stop it

Indeed.. If only we had wow's battalions, we could put something like that to use Anyway, scarab is good...

"Cap" is not an abbreviation for "capacity" - it is its own word: https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/cap It has slightly different connotations from "capacity." "Cap" is often used to refer to an imposed or legal limit, whereas "capacity" is more often used to refer to physical limits such as the number of seats in an auditorium. "Population cap" is more appropriate than "population capacity" in this context. There is no implication it's owned by someone else. Any form of long-term living space is housing.

Housing capacity and Population limit was my first thought. We should pick terms that exactly describe what we mean and noone will have issues comprehending which variant we mean. which doesn't imply that other terms can't improve the situation. Keeping things the way they are just because we have learned it that way is not a good argument to not try to improve issues. Shouldn't matter in theory either if we can do a better game than the common one :-) Those terms are synonymous so uncapable of identifying the difference. The two population limits should be well distinguished, I share Gallaecio's view that there is more than potential confusion in the terminology we use. We can keep it shorter than 3 words however. Indeed "housing" implies that someone is housed by someone else (So that term might be correct for romans but not for celts?) On the other hand it's defacto what happens ingame, no?

I'd be in favor of "Maximum Population" for A and "Population Limit" or "Population Capacity" for the B. I am against "pop cap" as an official term, because it's an abbreviation. Thanks for building a style guide, that's a great idea! Official terms could also be added to the Transifex glossary with a note explaining what they should be used for.

I'd much rather the town bell be kept in for mods at least. In DE I got rid of the citizen-soldier concept and have dedicated economic units now, so the town bell is useful here.

I want to try singleplayer guddarnit.

Nah don't get me wrong. I know that 0 ad has stuff ingame that is not part of AoE, but once again - we had multiple discussions in the past about the overall gameplay, and that copying stuff from another game without having a "clue" about its impact is bad. And town bell mechanics, among others, should be made part of a discussion if it's necessary.

I'm going to take an ax to the ptolemies's architecture eventually. The white CC I imagine would be fine but with houses the risk of muddying form and function. Flat roofs should be easy enough to integrate if handled tactfully

A: "Available Population" sounds good for the amount of population slots available because of the amount of housing built. B: "Maximum Population" or "Population Limit." What players say in chat will always vary from what the game says. "Rax" instead of "barracks" for instance. So, they can say "pop cap" when they mean "Population Limit."
