I was thinking about doing building concept art for that facción, fortunately i found a forum post with many references. If it is really a desired faction for the game, i will gladly start designing.

No one is, as far as I know, currently. But they've also been a desired civ for the A.D. segment of the game. Would be cool to see some concept work for them though.

The massive swing between easy af to capture and then suddenly to impossible to capture is not balanced. Might be useful in general, whether we agree about the other balancing issues or not.

Foel Trigarn hillfort in the Preseli Hills, Pembrokeshire, has around 227 house platforms within its ramparts, built around three large burial cairns at the hill’s summit. The three monumental Bronze Age burial cairns on the summit of Foel Trigarn hillfort. The hillfort builders may have seen these great stone mounds as the seats of ancestral power. The fact that they remained untouched despite intense house-building all around them in the Iron Age suggests they retained relevance and importance throughout the life of the hillfort. This illustration was prepared primarily for use in booklets to be distributed to local farmers so that they can identify features on their land that represent valuable elements of our heritage. The Northern Ireland Environment Agency is committed to protect the built environment and as such work to preserve and carefully manage these irreplaceable resources. A Cairn is a man made covering of stones, normally to cover a burial tomb and are therefore distinct from Barrows, which are mostly mounds of earth. The illustration shows the remains having been placed in a stone box or 'cist' and a capstone being placed over this.Other helpers are in the background bringing in the stones that will form a cairn over this burial. Cairns date from the Middle and Late Bronze Age and also extend into the Iron Age (1700 BC to AD 400) Description of Foel Trigarn hillfort Frequently photographed and one of the most dramatically sited and visually striking Iron Age hillforts in Wales, Foel Trigarn occupies the easternmost ridge on Mynydd Preseli, its characteristic silhouette dominating much of the east Pembrokeshire skyline. Three main enclosures can be traced, defined by stone walls or stone-revetted banks, with traces of a ditch around the inner rampart. The earliest was probably that on the very summit, an oval fort set against natural cliffs on its southern side, enclosing 1.2 hectares and with main gates on the east, west and south sides. Attached to this first enclosure, and probably representing later periods of expansion, are a second enclosure on the north and east side which mirrors the outer ramparts of the first, and a third outer annex to the east. The most striking characteristic of Foel Trigarn is its pock-marked interior, the sites of at least 227 levelled house platforms where Iron Age houses once stood. There are also fainter traces of a further 42 uncertain platforms bringing the total closer to 270 house sites. It is highly unlikely that all these house sites were occupied at the same time. The entire hillfort was probably occupied and expanded over many centuries, rather than being used by a single leader or group of people. We are effectively seeing the remains of a complex and long-lasting prehistoric village, with all its phases of occupation on show. Early excavations in 1899 by S Baring Gould unearthed Iron Age and Roman pottery and artefacts which included spindle-whorls, fine glass beads and a jet ring from some of the house platforms. Sling stones were also found in `?great numbers'some in piles..? (Baring Gould et. al., 1900, 210). A new survey by the Royal Commission and researchers from Portsmouth Polytechnic (in 1988) provided the first detailed plan. On the summit stand three massive stone cairns after which the hill is named. These are interpreted as Bronze Age burial cairns, massive communal monuments covering the bones, or ashes, of one or several special individuals. Similar examples of pre-existing cairns surviving within later stone forts can be seen at Carn Goch in Carmarthenshire, Pen Dinas, Aberystwyth in Ceredigion and at Tre'r Ceiri on the Llyn Peninsula, Gwynedd. As these cairns were never plundered for their stone, despite being surrounded by hundreds of houses, we must conclude that the occupants venerated their distant ancestors, while at the same time deriving power and social status from the acquisition of such a prominent, and sacred, hilltop. The size and complexity of Foel Trigarn, one of the largest north Pembrokeshire hillforts along with Carn-ingli, Garn Fawr and St David's Head, suggests a role and function distinct from the numerous smaller hillforts like Castell Henllys. It is likely that this was a significant centre of population in its time, its design and construction initiated and overseen by a powerful regional leader. If, as one interpretation of the place mentioned by Ptolemy indicates, the Octapitai tribe occupied St David's Head, perhaps a similar group whose name was never recorded by the Romans sited their `tribal capital? here, commanding the Iron Age lands hereabouts. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanterness_chambered_cairn Quanterness chambered cairn is a Neolithic burial monument located on Mainland, Orkney in Scotland. An Iron Age roundhouse built into the cairn was discovered during excavation in the early 1970s. The dwelling was constructed around 700 BC. Also found during excavation, were the remains of 157 people, pottery remnants and other artefacts. Historic Environment Scotland established the site as a scheduled monument in 1929.

Hi @Grapjas, I signed the mod! Amazing work. I would love to see the sandstorms in the vanilla game!

I'd actually like to see fewer chaotic 3v3 and 4v4 games and more intimate 2v2 games where teamwork becomes yugely consequential. But 2v2 seems like the least popular setup in most RTS games.
