This was discussed off and on in the past. I was thinking it would be nice for the game to name the different Civic Centers based on historical city names (similar to how the AI is given a cool historical name). In a standard match, the names would be pulled from a pre-made list (either in the civ.json or {civ}/civil_centre template). Secondarily, Atlas could be extended to allow scenario/campaign designers to give custom names to Civic Centers on the map (or done with triggers).

The Seleucid Empire emerged as one of the largest successor states to Alexander the Great's conquests, playing a pivotal role in disseminating Hellenistic culture across the Near East and beyond. Founded in 312 BC by Seleucus I Nicator, it initially spanned from Thrace and Anatolia in the west to the Indus Valley in the east, though eastern territories were soon ceded to local powers like the Mauryan Empire. At its height under Antiochus III (r. 222–187 BC), it encompassed the eastern Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and parts of Iran and Central Asia. The Seleucids governed a multicultural populace through a formidable military - featuring innovative units such as Indian war elephants for shock tactics and heavily armored cataphract cavalry - alongside claims of divine kingship and the establishment of Greek-influenced cities, such as Antioch-on-the-Orontes, which evolved into a vibrant cultural hub. However, the empire grappled with internal dynastic conflicts, protracted wars against the Ptolemaic Kingdom (the Syrian Wars), and challenges in administering remote provinces. By the mid-third century BC, regions like Bactria (c. 250 BC) and Parthia (c. 247 BC) seceded, initiating gradual fragmentation. A major setback came with defeat by Rome at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, followed by the Treaty of Apamea (188 BC), which stripped away western Anatolian holdings and imposed heavy indemnities. Persistent civil strife, rebellions (including the Maccabean Revolt, 167–160 BC), and incursions from Parthia and Armenia further diminished its power, culminating in Roman annexation of the remaining Syrian core in 64 BC by Pompey. Despite its eventual collapse, the Seleucid Empire endured for nearly 250 years and left an enduring legacy by blending Greek and Near Eastern traditions, influencing art, governance, and trade routes that shaped the Hellenistic and subsequent eras.

You could just zip up the model and post it here in a comment.

Hi my friend, I can make them available without any problem. Just tell me who I should send the files to. Regarding the bodies, they are nude and I create the clothing over them. If I'm not mistaken, the women have about 6 different bodies where I alternate between clothes and accessories.

Those are very good improvements indeed.

Is that a custom model for the body? Looking specifically at the skirt length. These are really well done btw.

Oh hey! Can you make that "half skirt" female model available for the base game? I'm thinking it could be used for Persians and potentially Nomads (Scythians, Xiongnu, Huns).

I suppose since the patch contains engine changes, for that you'd currently have to build the game locally... but that version would be incompatible with any other releases or patch releases. If you don't want to do that and are working on a campaign, I recommend you to finish it without the dialogues for now and to just note them down instead. When the PR is merged, the feature will be part of the nightly builds where you can then embed the dialogue and test it.

While translating I noticed a historical inaccuracy. Somewhere r28 contains the following sentence as part of a string: According to Wikipedia that battle happened 338 BC: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Chaeronea_(338_BC)

Is it just me, or do these people above have bot-like names?

Nice work! You seem to have some normal issues. If you're using Blender you might use the reset vectors tool while in edit mode with everything selected. This might fix some buildings/boats looking dark.

Here are some changes I could think off the top of my head: 1.Hero bonuses should apply to the hero itself as well 2.The Kushite eco pyramids should have 75 metal and stone cost in p1, 10-15% less build time but reduced 10% bonus. in p2 the pyramids should be 100 stone and metal and give 15% bonus and the build time in A27. alongside this, the range of the pyramids should increase from 40 in p1 to 55 in p2 (an option to upgrade the p1 pyramid should be provided same way sentry towers become stone towers) 3.return archers to a26 state for testing right now, and see what changes are needed after that 4.make the Ostracism tech cost 200 metal 5.Reduced time for construction of Gymnasium in p3 compared to p2 (15%) 6.Increase required exp for City Guards by 15%
