Earlier today I pushed some changes to GitHub and also to the live interactable version. The biggest changes are to how the data is parsed... but that happens in the background and is probably not very interesting so I won't go into detail. Of greater interest will be that I've added three more mods that you may activate from the drop-down in the top-right: Amazones by dvangennipDelenda Est by wowgetoffyourcellphone0AD: Ancient Empires by Prodigal SonThe latter two change a lot of the same things and are therefore not compatible with each other. Also, you might encounter problems if you have either one of them and any of the smaller mods active at the same time. I won't prevent you from trying, but... I wouldn't advise it.

villagers infantry cavalry caravans I dissociate infantry and cavalry as they don't function the same way at all. Fishing boats would make that 5.

Short but sweet! Just one thing (possible spoiler)... Also, I'm not sure if you're working with a newer version of the Trigger component, but on A17 I'm getting warnings popping up... Problems aside, it's a good indicator of the potential to come. Keep it up!

The alpha 17 changes really are very very bad. Removing hard counters was a mistake and there are numerous bad decisions like the one pointed out in this thread. Spearmen get pierce attack, and to make them counter cavalry cavalry must have low pierce armor, right? But ranged units have pierce attack too. Ranged units are supposed to be countered by cavalry, but instead slaughter cavalry like hot knife through butter. And then you have a basic unit like swordsman who costs 3 different resources, food, wood, and iron. You have champion units (see Seleucid silver shield for example) who cost HUGE amounts of 3 resources too. You will have post after post of people trying to defend their decisions (the balancing branch people who basically have thrown the game's design into disarray), so it is very clear that they do not intend to change direction. It is good to experiment, but you should know when the experiment is a failure. The truth is the game's health just now relies on modding to fix game's balance.
