Leader suggestions since we're scraping the bottom of the barrel here Gildo - A Numidian rebel that rose in 400 CE and rallied the Garamantes and other desert tribes under him. Control+F for the name Gildo in this translated text https://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/Claudian/De_Consulatu_Stilichonis/1*.html Iddibal, Iassuchtan, Iaremaban - Just some dromedary nomad merchants whose names were recorded to trade with the Roman's frontier fort of Bu Njem/ Gholaia in the reports of 253-259 CE. They're may not even be "Garamantes" in a sense, as even the people around those forts were adapting Roman surnames mixed with their traditional given names, but there's always those considered to be outsiders as the article put it - "We already noticed that the settlers along the wadis produced grain and oil for the soldiers in the forts. The army had not organized the transport of these products. On the ostraca, we encounter several dromedary-drivers, none of them belonging to the armed forces. Their names are interesting: although they must have had mixed names, like the Marchii from Ghirza, the scribes of Bu Njem recorded only the native part (e.g., Iddibal, Iassuchtan, Iaremaban), as if to stress that these merchants were less Roman than the soldiers." https://www.livius.org/articles/place/gholaia-bu-njem/bu-njem-ostraca/3 points

Different approaches to the same goal. I also don’t think our approaches are mutually exclusive2 points

https://github.com/0ADMods/garamantians Fixed to alpha 26, missing details, changes occurred ended up breaking some textures used in the main game, some can be created for greater historical fidelity.2 points

Maybe the Han differentiation isn't between infantry and cavalry, but instead between melee and ranged. What do you think of that change? Still have the same number of citizen-soldier trainer buildings (barracks and range, instead of barracks and stable).2 points

I was talking to some new modders. (illustrative purposes) Duiloga show me some new textures for Native Americans women. Not all. Some showed nude upper torso.( Breasts). I told him that the best thing was to cover them, because those all family friendly stuff. Never in the mods have we dealt with that. [Except the one you see that I wanted to make a mod with controversial topics]. Thoughts friends. @Stan` @wowgetoffyourcellphone1 point

Where can be found them? Imho would be a mistake to ban for smurfing. Why should it be forbidden? Ratings wouldn't be perfectly matched with reality anyway, and btw people are free to do new accounts if they want to. Similar reports should be simply ignored, but cannot be said the same about constant offenses in the lobbies. This is the real problem of this community.1 point

I am not sure how long ago this happened, but I was joking that IuseArchBtw was yeka smurf because you were talking about arch for a while. I apologize if someone thought I was serious, and also, that being a smurf was enough for the host to kick them from the game.1 point

@AIEND please can you test the newest SVN version of the game and give us some feedbacks? Now you have convinced me to make Liu Bang a cavalry swordsman hero1 point

The Han Dynasty did have cavalry with swords and shields, and such images appeared on the unearthed "huaxiangzhuan".1 point

luiskeys11 did not leave but not do anything - just afk - after some time without saying anything. I don't know if this is allowed, but it is quitting the game, he just didn't leave. metadata.jsoncommands.txt I guess the metadata isn't required? I got the points anyways. @user11 point

also ircanian shores and kerala. they deserve a -1 at wood but are not as bad as other maps on this regard (uknown, frontier, stronghold - see one of the latest Jim videos)1 point

I didn't mean that I'm not going to play anymore, ever. that doesn't depend just on me either, my friends may be sticking to the game and I would keep playing with them, but to be honest I've been growing disillusioned with the game development for months now and I'd probalbly rather switch to another game, if I gave it a try some time.1 point

Hmm, I think there is a basic roster of buildings that can be the same. Establishes a "base" gameplay for the game. And then you add diversity and uniqueness on top of that. So, barracks/stables/ranges for unit training differentiation as a "standard" for the game's civs. And then you diversify on top of that. Right now it's hard to see where to go from there if you considered Ranges and Stables as "special buildings." If you look at it that way, then yeah, you've given every civ the same "special", which makes it not special at all. Fair enough. I'm just looking at it from a broader perspective. So, if all civs have barracks/stables/ranges, for the Persians then we make the "Apadana" more interesting and unique (you upgrade it to different versions that trickle different resources after researching "Satrapy Tribute"), and maybe add the "Yakhchal" Ice Houses that give a bonus when built. The Athenians, then, we look at the Prytaneion and Gymnasium and see how we can make those more interesting. Maybe give them a "Stoa" special building as in Delenda Est. For the Carthaginians, implement the "unlocking mercenaries" concept for the Embassies. Point is, just because you give every civ an archery range doesn't mean it's the end of history.1 point

I would also be interested in this (or the range as I say above). (Or either for Han and then bring the other to some other civ) (really I was just never a fan of the stable being a global feature)1 point

To play online you need to be at least 13 or have parental authorization as per COPPA.1 point

Does this game even have an age limit? I don't think so. If the natives did dress like that then that's fine. To be honest most players can't see models in great detail.1 point

but these aesthetics help to improve the gameplay. gives you the idea of damage types for units and buildings. there are things that have not been considered, either to keep the gameplay simple or to make logical sense of it. In the end, the game is a logical simulation of reality, with its limitations and abstractions.1 point

Hi everyone, I am in a great addiction to the game recently (start playing from A23) and started to read the forum until I found this topic. I read through all the post and I found this game is not only working on each civilization balance but also on the historical accuracy (which surprised me and like to pay great respect to the development team). I have great interest on the Chinese history especially on the Zhou dynasty (which splits to the "spring and autumn" and “Warring state” period) then united by "Qin" and overthrown by "Han". For the militaries unit maybe could get some reference from the "Trrracotta Army" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terracotta_Army which may be more accuracy to the history, since they were built on that time and preserved till date. A whole standard unify army was made include infantry(spear, sword, halberd, gagger-axe"ge", bow and crossbow), calvary, armored warrior, chariot, militaries officer etc. Compared to Han army, will not be that unified as most of their war are against the Xiong Nu which have differ from the mainland army and other regions (which could be seen during the "three kingdom" period).1 point
