  1. Secondly (and I've brought this one up in the past as well) The Han mangonel (catapult): A disclaimer straight away: I do not speak Chinese, so I can't confirm terms first hand or use primary sources. The current name is a literal translation of the word "trebuchet" into Chinese. (Traction) catapults in Ancient China instead actually were referred to as "砲pào", the same word that is later also used for cannons. In the much later Song dynasty catapults were also classified by the number of wooden spars making up the catapult's arm. The 3D model in-game has one only which would make it a "single-beam trebuchet", a "筲砲砲Dān Shāo Pào", though the frame looks a bit different. The same military compendium also mentions the "crouching tiger" catapult, the "虎蹲砲Hǔ dūn pào" which looks pretty similar to ours. However, in my opinion this last name is way too specific, and seems exclusive for the Song period. Therefore, I suggest the following change: Tóushí Chē -> Pào or Dān Shāo Pào (and just maybe Hǔ dūn pào) Sources:

  2. What i meant to say was: if we think the fortress fails at defending an area, we should make changes to ensure it excels at it, rather than make changes to add other functions to it. It should excel at its main job first before exceling at other things.

  3. Thank you. I will edit the ticket and then probably make a patch to resolve the issue.

  4. Carthage 5: New Friends After departing Crete, you continue to sail West, in search of a new land to settle. A storm is ahead and you take the small fleet north on the coast of the main continent, in lands you know little about. upon making landfall, you are greeted with dignity by an Italian tribe who are happy to resupply you -- but they need help themselves. Their land has been under pressure from Celtic tribes and they ask for your assistance in defeating them. You have a feeling your relations with the Italics will last for a long time and as you need allies, you agree. Your objective is to assist the Italics with destroying the Celtic settlements in the region. There are three of them, two to the south-east and one directly to the east on the shoreline. Beware of sea raiders. AI Settings: Celts (enemies) and Italians (friends) should be Petra AI with a difficulty of your choice. All others should be Sandbox.
