I think the balance is fine. Spears are strong, but need to close the distance first. Swords are in general worse that spear or jav. Their strength is their fast attack rate to mow down civilians. But they need to run away from anyone with near equal numbers. On Athens: It's a bit skewed anyway atm. since usually champ cavalry and naked fanatics are usually banned from games. Athens have neither and can shine with the other strengths they have. I don't think its so much unfair how they rank up if you compare it to e.g. elephant archers ranking up. SDL2 really has some issues. Most notably the common complete click bug (fix: ctrl+shift + a few left - right clicks). I tried to play with recording the screen with "screenkey" and "key-mon" but the few times I tested I couldn't replicate it. I am convinced some key inputs aren't reliably processed. This results in some players repeating the H hold key - which results in the units first attacking the nearby unit, but on the next H aborting the current attack and starting a new one. But if you only press it once, there's still a bit of doubt if it actually registered. The unequal heros was once discussed here (one version ago though):

Voy a mirarlo en accion y te cuento luego. Gracias por el dato.

Hola @Duileoga, lo que puedo mencionar rápidamente es que las mujeres de los xiongnu tenían mucho poder político (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/researchers-uncover-new-evidence-warrior-women-inspired-legend-mulan-180974774, https://www.bbc.com/travel/article/20231106-the-powerful-women-of-an-ancient-empire), aunque no es claro si realmente peleaban en batallas. Una arqueóloga en esas referencias menciona que es una posibilidad que no puede ser descartada, ya que hay evidencia de que practicaban arquería y montaban a caballo, al menos más frecuentemente que los pueblos túrquicos. Las que sí no peleaban en batallas eran las gladiatrices (gladiatrix es singular), existieron solo como una forma de entretenimiento exótico. Las banfhéinnithe (banfhéinní en singular, no sé si hay una castellanización estándar) son primariamente una leyenda (https://ansionnachfionn.com/seanchas-mythology/na-fianna). El término "amazonas" es mitológico y griego, aunque entre los escitas sí había mujeres guerreras, lo que era más común por dicha zona, y no en Europa Occidental (salvo excepciones). Es así que entre los sármatas (mitológicamente, descendientes de las amazonas) muchas mujeres eran guerreras, y más tarde en las guerras marcomanas los romanos encontrarían mujeres con armadura entre los cuerpos, pensando que eran germanas, cuando posiblemente eran yacigias, una tribu aliada sármata que antes había migrado hasta lo que hoy es Hungría.

Could you send me a message with references to units and structures for the Qin dynasty, in order to differentiate them from the Han dynasty? I believe the key would be to gather references from the 4th century BC to the 2nd century BC.

Surrounding the CC with fields is obviously gameplay inherited from AoE 2. It’s not realistic, but from a gameplay perspective it’s the safest way to protect your farms from enemy raids, especially in the early game, where your defensive capabilities are more limited. Of course, you can adapt the gameplay to your own preferences. Normally, it’s not recommended to advance to Town Phase before minute 8. You can even delay it until minute 9 or 10 depending on your strategy. Advancing to Town Phase requires a huge amount of wood and food that is usually better invested into increasing your population, constructing key buildings (barracks, stables, houses), and researching important economic technologies to gather resources faster. The larger your population, the faster your economy will grow. Ideally, you should aim to have 100 population by minute 7. A fairly common MP build order for civilizations with expensive houses (150 wood): As soon as the match starts: Constantly produce Civilians at the CC. Send the first 4 civilians to berries; the fifth civilian builds the Farmstead and then stays on berries as well (remember: 1 civilian per berry bush). One soldier builds a house near your chosen woodline. The remaining 3 soldiers build a Storehouse and start gathering wood. Every civilian produced from this point onward goes to chop wood at that Storehouse. Minute 2: Research wood gathering level 1. Build a house using 3 workers. Minute 3: Assign 3 woodcutters to build a barracks. Build another house using 3 workers. Start building fields gradually. Don’t place them all at once, expand them as you fill them up until you reach 5 fields. Alternate between building fields and building houses. Never stop building houses with those 3 civilians. As soon as the barracks is completed, start producing soldiers. Minute 6: Second barracks. Aim to have 30 workers on fields and 30 workers on wood. After the second barracks, you should already have those 30 workers on wood, allowing you to establish another woodline in a different forest. At that point, you should also begin assigning workers to gather stone and metal — 6 workers is a good starting number.
