@Freagarach We need help with Mobile Forts and props. We need Slots feature for carts then carts must garrison inside a place as prop then several archers enters inside the carts as prop.

now with the biomes it is possible to generate default things, accurate with the environment. Now with that the mercenaries can already represent cultures in the biomes. And not only the mercenary camps, but also other neutral buildings. I hate empty maps. Without ethnicity, cultures etc. Could a mercenary camp already be made according to the biome and how?

Xiongnu like Han but Nomads. Population bonuses, multiethnics. Better cavalry, better technologies for cavalry. Mediocre infantry. (Little health and little armor) these towns suffered a lot from famines at times. they settle down to the last era. More Warlike than Xianbei. Xianbei Semi settled. Start similar to Xiongnu, but they can steal farms. Even can have a building to unpack and steal territory from farmlands. (How you destroy the farmstead of enemy but yours, done. have their own territory influence, little btw.) In second phase they can build some little farms. In late game they settle and become more like Han. Huns. its name literally is hunger. These start with Total Rush, They catch fast. But they have no infantry in P1, only villagers with infantry weapons. Its purpose is to destroy and capture. Bonus to capture CC. His best infantry units are defeated Germanic and Iranian people. Reduced to slavery. Their embassies generate gold. Persian Sasanid and Roman Embassy. Scythians Greek infantry hoplites(late phase), Thracian Mercenaries, They expand faster than everyone with their territories. They finally settle down. They maintain many relations with the Greeks and Persians. They have Amazons.

at this rate we are going to have to split Han or have reforms. They literally have everything except elephants, slingers, and skirmishers. And they almost have the first. Even have Chariots in early era.

there are various weapons illustrated. Better known as the Green Crescent Dragon Blade, this ancient weapon was buried with the great General Guan Yu, hidden within the Tomb of Shih Huang Ti. It was rescued from there by Cai Boi at the request of the Jade Emperor himself. Despite it’s age, it is as sharp and deadly as in days past and Cai Boi has demonstrated the ability to engulf the blade in fire. Guan Yu ([kwán ỳ] (audio speaker iconlisten); died January or February 220),[a] courtesy name Yunchang, was a Chinese military general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty of China. Along with Zhang Fei, he shared a brotherly relationship with Liu Bei and accompanied him on most of his early exploits. Guan Yu played a significant role in the events leading up to the end of the Han dynasty and the establishment of Liu Bei's state of Shu Han during the Three Kingdoms period. While he is remembered for his loyalty towards Liu Bei, he is also known for repaying Cao Cao's kindness by slaying Yan Liang, a general under Cao Cao's rival Yuan Shao, at the Battle of Boma. After Liu Bei gained control of Yi Province in 214, Guan Yu remained in Jing Province to govern and defend the area for about seven years. In 219, while he was away fighting Cao Cao's forces at the Battle of Fancheng, Liu Bei's ally Sun Quan broke the Sun–Liu alliance and sent his general Lü Meng to conquer Liu Bei's territories in Jing Province. By the time Guan Yu found out about the loss of Jing Province after his defeat at Fancheng, it was too late. He was subsequently captured in an ambush by Sun Quan's forces and executed. is Accurate weapon. 220 A.D

The zhanmadao (Chinese: 斬馬刀; pinyin: zhǎnmǎdāo; literally: "horse chopping saber") was a single-bladed anti-cavalry Chinese sword. It originated during the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD) and was especially common in Song China (960–1279). The zhanmadao is a sabre with a single long broad blade, and a long handle suitable for two-handed use. It was used as an anti-cavalry weapon . @wowgetoffyourcellphone The sword version is used to kill horses. It means that putting it on a stick had the same function.

The Chinese weapon known as the [podao] pudao (Chinese: 樸刀;pinyin: pú dāo/Chinese: 朴刀;pinyin: pò dāo) was originally an edged infantry weapon which is still used for training in many Chinese martial arts. The blade of a pudao [podao] is shaped like a Chinese broadsword, but the weapon has a longer handle usually around one and a half to two meters (about four to six feet) which is circular in cross section. It looks somewhat similar to the guandao. The pudao is sometimes called a horse-cutter sword since it is speculated to have been used to slice the legs out from under a horse during battle {cf. zhanmadao}. It is somewhat analogous to the Japanese nagamaki, although the nagamaki sword may have been developed independently. Looking at the standards of its design, the pudao is also equivalent to the Korean hyeopdo.

This image leaves you thinking. http://therionarms.com/reenact/therionarms_c1067.html Quoting : Now, I don't know how much these relate to Kung-Fu, but can anyone help me recognize the long handled-wavy bladed sword kind of a weapon, and the spears with two squiggly bits to the sides. What are they called? Also, I had understood that the monk's spade was the two-headed polearm with a crescent and a shovel, though I've never seen a antique one. I found online an antique chinese spear/polearm head named a monk's spade, which is crescent in shape. Were blades like that affixed to staves for use? Are this type of blades still called monk's spades? Reply: That's a combination of two weapons/tools; 月牙铲 yuèyáchǎn (crescent moon shovel/spade), and; 方便铲 fāngbiànchǎn (convenience shovel/spade). When combined into one, it usually takes the name of the latter, being the main head. "Monk's spade" is an English term, far as I know. http://www.kungfumagazine.com/forum/showthread.php?70224-Chinese-Polearms-and-Spades

Good question. I'm stuck with the Sarmatian helmet answer. Now the problem is that it went from Asian to European post. To Han to Huns to Xianbei to Late Rome. All is connected.

Coming back to the Sogdian-Scythian/Wusun theme. Description Afrosiab, Sogdian helmet Date ca. 700 BCE–ca. 500 BCE Creator Ab Langereis MuseumT ashkent, National Museum of Uzbek History Licence CC0 1.0 Universal Linked Scythians / Sacae, Sogdians Sogdian helmets in paintings look rather distinctive. The helmets are spheroconical, often with a scallopped browband, and triangular finial (although other finial shapes are known from surviving Sogdian helmets). One particular feature that seems fairly unique to Sogdiana are the banded cheek plates, which appear on almost every depiction of a Sogdian helmet, but are almost never seen outside Sogdiana. Simply by looking at the paintings, one can’t really be totally sure of their construction. Banded armour for arms and legs was also known in the area prior to the Sogdian era (more on these later), and banded cheekpieces are also seen much earlier on coins of a local ruler called Tanlis Mardates from Margiana, from the 2nd – 1st Century BC. Fortunately, a handful of archaeological finds from eastern Europe dated from the 6th Century AD have turned up a number of helmets with “Sogdian” style cheekpieces, showing a very consistent laced construction. Each cheek piece is made up of a number of horizontal plates, each with 3 columns of 3 rows of holes (9 holes per plate, in a 3 x 3 grid). http://eranudturan.iranhistoryforum.com/2019/05/20/sogdian-cheekpieces/

these helmets are common among the Sogdians and Sakas. They even resemble or are related to the Chinese helmets.

Probably a warrior after the 5th century. But it has elements from previous centuries. The shield is Norse, but has Eastern Roman style footwear. Y.

With Korean factions we will see this again. this is several centuries later. Around 3thd 4th century even more. But nothing that didn't exist before except the armor. the neck guard I had already seen it in Bactria. Lamellar helmet is classic in this period.

These objects were part of the adornments and garment accessories of noblemen belonging to ancient nomadic tribes—the carriers of the Kenkol culture, who inhabited the mountains and valleys of Tien Shan and Semirechye in the territory of modern Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region of China, and the Altai Territory in Russia, in the Xiongnu-Xianbei period.
