@wowgetoffyourcellphone Careful, you might actually make me like AI.

replacement of feminization, since we now use civilians instead of women/female citizens. I suppose we could flip the number and call it militarization. Or just percent civilians.

Fortress The Macedonian Fortress allows the training of Hypaspist champions, Companion Cavalry champions, and 4 different heroes. The Macedonians have a unique hero system which I hope to roll out to all other heroes in the game. This will be discussed later in this document. Hypaspist Champion Hoplite (III) Can upgrade to Silver Shield champion after researching "Silver Shields" tech. Companion Champion Cavalry (III) Can upgrade to Royal Bodyguard cavalry after researching "Royal Bodyguards" tech.

Siege Workshop As with all other civs, building a Siege Workshop unlocks the Catapult, which can be built by citizen soldiers anywhere on the map. Unlike other civs, the Macedonians do not have to research "Ballistics" before researching catapult technologies. Lithobolos Catapult Unlocked by building a Siege Workshop. Buildable by units in the field. Oxybeles Boltshooter Trained from the Workshop Covered Battering Ram Trained from Workshop Helepolis Siege Tower Trained from the Workshop Dock As with other seafaring civs, the Dock has been split into a Dock, which trains fishing boats and merchant ships, and a Shipyard, which trains warships. Fishing Boat (I) Merchant Ship (II) Naval Shipyard As with other seafaring civs, the Dock has been split into a Dock, which trains fishing boats and merchant ships, and a Shipyard, which trains warships. Dieres (II) Light Warship Trieres (III) Medium Warship Hexeres (IV) Trainable after researching "Naval Arms Race." Factional Mercenary Camp The game has 2 different types of Mercenary Camps, which are capturable Gaia structures dotting the map. Native Mercenary Camps have mercenaries available based on geographic location and ethnicity of the map. Factional Mercenary Camps are those with mercenaries available for hire based upon the owning player's civ. Mercenaries cost no population room and between 100 and 150 Coin resource to hire. They have a training limit of 30, increasing +10 for each subsequent Mercenary Camp captured. Mercenary Greek Hoplite (II) Advanced Rank Thracian Black Cloak (III) Elite Rank; costs extra coin Cretan Heavy Archer (II) Elite Rank; costs extra coin Odrysian Skirmish Cavalry (II) Special Buildings Library "Scholarship" aura: Reduce the cost and research time of remaining technologies by 10% with every Library owned.

Naval Arms Race (IV) Unlock the Hexērēs heavy warship for the Macedonians. Hegemon (IV) Unlocked when a Macedonian or Epirote player captures a non-Macedonian or non-Epirote Civic Center. Heroes +25% health. Making use of the Upgrade feature The Macedonians make extensive use of the 'Upgrade' feature in the game. By upgrading a Barracks to a Royal Barracks, it unlocks new units and techs. Same thing for the Stable: upgrading it to a Royal Stable unlocks new units and techs. The champion units (Hypaspists and Companions) can upgrade to more powerful versions after researching unlocking techs at the Royal Barracks and Royal Stable. The Heroes have a new unlocking feature that I want to role out to all the heroes in the game. They start life as "foot" versions and then can subsequently be upgraded to a mount, which gives extra health, speed, trample, and other things.

Superb! The old ones were already great but this is even better!

This fortress is my favorite. Its so cool.

The logic of having cavalry in the back is to allow it to move through the sides. The problem of having it in the front is that you don't want to send your cavalry first into a spearmen shield wall (which is the dominant historical form). Move formation ("column" in napoleonian warfare) should have cavalry in the front but combat formation ("line") have it in the back. Except for specific formations, of course.

Weren't they usually to the side(s)?

There is a new RC at https://releases.wildfiregames.com/rc/ There are small changes to the Germans and the warning in on the summary page has been fixed.
