  1. Just my two cents, but why call it 'pirate stronghold'? That does not seem to fit a game where the building names are in the native language of the respective civilizations.
  2. This is my say. The Iberians should be able to merely stock up their merchant vessels and such with soldiers. As their javelin throwers would be able to hurl flaming spears, enemy ships actually could be destroyed. The thing that should be understood though, is the kind of strategy the Iberians would be made for. As they have only a bad navy in the last few ages, they need to rush their opponents on a sea map. Likewise, instead of going to the unnecessary trouble of making weaker cultures, it could be possible to perhaps merely make trade agreements with your rivals for units.
  3. But also, if you wanted a more superior ship, could you make diplomatic agreements with another player in order to control 'X' amount of units for 'Y' amount of resources? Likewise, it would be good if you could actually use garrisoned archers and such to defend your economic vessels.
  4. Perhaps you could buy ships from civilizations
  5. Perhaps if you kept them idle they could live a bit longer.
  6. By the way, perhaps height and terrain like water and snow would not only affect the speed, but could make the stamina drain more quickly.
  7. Perhaps control groups could be saved when you load a game.
  8. One suggestion I would give is that when you make a Civic Centre, a name of a city correlating to culture who built this is shown when you select this Civic Centre.
  9. Polybius states that this occurred when Hannibal was passing through a very rough path in order to leave the lands of the Celts and reach Etruria. The primary difficulty was that the path was in a large bog. As is said in the third book, "Many of the horses lost their hooves by the continuous march through the mud. Hannibal himself on the sole remaining elephant got across with much difficulty and suffering, being in great pain from a severe attack of ophthalmia, which finally led to the loss of one eye as he had no time to stop and apply any treatment to it, the circumstances rendering that impossible."
  10. Well wouldn't it be where they first snatch the tusks and then get the staples?
  11. Well, maybe the buildings can be sideways if need be.
  12. I would call myself an isolationist at best. A loser at worst.
  13. If I am not mistaken, there will be an special unit for custom scenarios that is a camel rider mounted on a camel who can fight.
  14. Say that to Queen Teuta. A few more thoughts Icarus The son of Daedalus who ended up getting killed by not heeding the fact that wax melts with heat. Indibil Not too original, but he is an Iberian hero in 0 A.D. so I will not give much of a biography on him. Iris Greek messenger goddess who used the rainbow for travel.
  15. Iceni is a possibility. That was the tribe which brought up Boudicca. Illyria could work too. That is in modern Yugoslavia where there lived a people that emphasized on guerrilla warfare. Iphikrates was an important reformer, and was responsible for inventing Ekodromoi and heavy peltasts.
  16. Well, if I may say a few words, I am a Mac user and am able to play it through utilizing the binaries that people compile. The thing that I think should really be prioritized is the performance on Mac OSX and support for Lion.
  17. Maybe they could have cows with longer lifespans. After all Hindus in India have retirement homes for their cows.
