Even if it is iconic, that hardly makes it a legitimate wonder choice. Pragmatically speaking, it is nothing more than a tower with a mirror mounted on it.

I still do support the idea of the citizen soldiers having to drop off their resources before they would be able to counter-attack. When the call to arms button is hit though, the soldiers could actually run back to the site. Perhaps units could have a defensive stance where the shield and weapon are strapped to their backs. That stance would reduce their gathering rate, but would allow them to instantly respond to a threat. Someone should seriously consider running a poll over this feature. It is too controversial to merely say "yes" or "no" to.

Or even better, an alpha release -
Thebans and generic faction questions
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to av93's topic in General Discussion
I like the idea of having more generic Hellenes. They could then split into the Achaean League and the Aetolian League. The Achaean League could at least have such figures as Philopoemen and Antigonus while the Aetolians could specialize in other things. -
Civ info changes
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Jeru's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Question, perhaps those could be there, but what if people want more in depth ones? By the way, I would be fairly capable of at least doing the Spartan history and perhaps the Macedonian one if I find the time. -
Civ info changes
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Jeru's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
I believe that it would be best to get well documented articles written specifically for the game. Wikipedia has a great store of knowledge, yet it would be preferable to have more reliable articles that also do not require Internet access to read. -
Civ info changes
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Jeru's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Perhaps the community could be encouraged to write well cited history articles of different kinds. Maybe even a specific list could be be made for their convenience. -
Hero aura/selections
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Mythos_Ruler's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Perhaps since the hero effects those in formation with him, a cool looking banner could be displayed much like in the total war series. Just make it less as large. -
Obviously though, this is a massive improvement. I am definitely looking forward to the opportunity of befriending and antagonizing the AI.

Formations
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Mythos_Ruler's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
Well, particular ones are to be available that way. -
Brainstorming the Asian Civilizations
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Phaedros's topic in General Discussion
Out of curiosity, why do you want it? -
===[COMMITTED]=== Mauryan Structures
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Enrique's topic in Completed Art Tasks
Great job! It's great to see the how Mauryans are becoming more distinctive -
Hero aura/selections
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Mythos_Ruler's topic in Game Development & Technical Discussion
I like the hero aura appearance, but would it not be better to just not bother since their bonuses will be granted to units in formation? -
Just found the game first impressions
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to vikingwannabe's topic in General Discussion
Well, at least killing them provides experience for your units. -
Suggestions for 0 A.D.
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Wijitmaker's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Well, an agora was a public open place used for assemblies and markets. Either word works, but due to the general layout of the building, agora seems more fitting. -
Random Map Script:Unknown
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to Spahbod's topic in Scenario Design/Map making
Could you possibly make there be a map script called The Unknown Land Mass and The Unkown Water Masses? I believe that the the titles are pretty self-explanatory. -
Scythia was relatively insignificant, but it is possible that there would be some Scythian units and buildings.

Quick request from the Music dept.
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to OmriLahav's topic in Art Development
Good job, but I have a few questions. Why did you translate "march" as Zugei? March should probably be second person plural making it Zugete. Also, in translating glory, you used Αρετη, which means virtue. A practical alternative is Τιμη, which means "honor", or δóξα, which means "glory". Possibly the lyrics on that line could be changed to "Honor, Glory". -
new gaming mode: tower defence
Thorfinn the Shallow Minded replied to raymond's topic in General Discussion
Well, the independent towers actually do fire arrows. -

Actually, there are birds that fly and leaves that fall. (The birds just never move.)
