As it is commonly known, @JC (naval supremacist) is the strongest player in 0 AD who only ever loses due to incompetent teammates or due to too much honour to be an ecobot. We can logically derrive from that, that he wins all 1v1s in which his enemy makes a significant number of cavs. Noone has believed him, but now there is a dedicated youtube channel that provides the empirical proof.

An article regarding elephants in Sasanian army from Encyclipedia Iranica https://www.iranicaonline.org/articles/elephant-ii-sasanian-army

That is easy to implement, it is just some xml trickery. Currently in the Athenian CC xml template: <ProductionQueue> <Entities datatype="tokens"> units/{civ}/infantry_spearman_b units/{civ}/infantry_slinger_b units/{civ}/cavalry_javelineer_b </Entities> </ProductionQueue> {civ} will be filled out as the current owner's civ. This means if you don't have infantry spearman in your civ then you won't get any infantry spearman out of the captured Athenian cc. For example, if a Macedonian player captured an Athenian CC then they will get only a Mercenary Slinger and a Mercenary Cavalry javelineer out of the CC. To fix this, we replace {civ} with athen: <ProductionQueue> <Entities datatype="tokens"> units/athen/infantry_spearman_b units/athen/infantry_slinger_b units/athen/cavalry_javelineer_b </Entities> </ProductionQueue> In this case no matter who captured this CC they will always get Athenian units out of it. This might not be ideal though.

IMHO, elephants shouldn't be siege weapons, especially since almost every civ knows how to use a covered log to bash down a gate. Elephants were definitely used against gates [see: Pyrrhus vs. Argos] and to bash through simple barriers and perhaps through huts and whatnot. But their primary military use was on the battlefield against masses of enemy infantry and cavalry.

I think we haven't seen that much to say something. What have we seen, 2-3 screenshots. So if you would release some more screenies I think we could say better things to change.
