Been having some fun asking chatgpt to remake 0 A.D. screenshots into more realistic images. Obviously far from perfect but it's fun. The island in particular came out great IMO.

Do chariots really have to be that fat? Feels like many QoM (Quality of Misery) measures over time, en masse since RC2. Some trees or houses and my heroine isn't where she's supposed to half the time; here she's stuck on a citizen. It's agonizing to frequently watch my champions take the scenic route around a mountain or something...

Statements like the one you quoted above are also just not true. 0AD's representation of civs isn't a "snapshot." For example, Ptol is in no way a "snapshot. Ptol's heroes are its founder (305-282 BC), a middle ruler (221-204 BC), and its final ruler (51-30 BC). That is not a snapshot--it's literally its entire existence. Compare this to the Roman heroes who lived after the first ptol hero and way before the last ptol hero. The heroes for Gauls spans an even wider period. The rules and historical features are applied in an entirely inconsistent manner.

Its been talked about before, but citizen soldiers are quite fundamental to 0ad. There's a big discussion here: Citizen soldiers allow for big battles that distinguish 0ad from aoe2, and they are quite historically accurate which is something 0ad strives to achieve. That being said, they contribute to snowballing, and mainly contribute to the "booming = turtling" phenomenon. I would like to not abandon citizen soldiers entirely, as it makes 0ad unique, but we can increase the importance of non-soldier gatherers by changing gather rates and/or by introducing a new "laborer" unit.

P4 is a good idea. P4 is empire phase, which would be available to the Imperial civs: Han, Roma, Persia

We can let Romans be republic in P1 and P2 then upgrade to Empire in P3 Sadly Discord banned atrik... Discord organisation = nubia

Every post ever from you

We had this conversation in the past: However, we have to admit that this opinion makes less and less sense. I already didn't approve of it, but you have to admit that the Roman faction hardly represents the republic of the Punic Wars.
