Tate & Tedate (盾 & 手盾) - Japanese Shields. From descriptions in Chinese dynastic record, archaeological evidences and surviving examples we have a lot of information about hand held shields (Temochi tate or Tedate - 手持盾 or 手盾 ) used from the third to the eighth century. These shields were either made of wood, iron plates riveted together or several layers of lacquered rawhide. They were almost all of the time rectangular in shape, 100 to 150 cm in length and 50 to 70 cm in width. Like all the types of Japanese hand held shield, they had a wooden handle in the centre. Hand held shield were used in combination with swords, spears or axes in close combat situation. A riveted iron plates Tate shield from the Kofun period These shields usually called Tate (盾) were either held by their pole or carried by hands by the soldiers. When retreating, they were usually "worn" or placed on the back of the soldiers to protect them. Typically, shields of this sort were lined up, sometimes overlapping like roof tiles, to form a portable wall that protected archers on foot. They were also placed atop the walls of fortifications and hung from the sides of boats. On occasion, they served as substitutes for other tools, such as benches or ladders. http://gunbai-militaryhistory.blogspot.com/2017/12/tate-tedate-japanese-shields.html?m=1

The use of hand shields dates back to the Yayoi and Kofun eras of Japan (300 BC to 538 AD). Many examples are excavated whole or in part along with their accompanying Bronze Age swords, bows, spears and armor. Along with that the clay figurines, Haniwa, exhibit shields exclusively among the “warriors” of the era. It can be assumed that from those examples that shields played a very important part in the early military of Japan. This kept up a steady pace until the warring states era in Muromachi (14th-16th century; early Sengoku era.) 　　　　At this point, there were still a variety of shield sizes to be had, largely depending on what your job on the theater of battle was. The majority were longer, covering the body, hand held with a simple handle on the back. These were made a variety of ways and came in different sizes, long and short, small and large. Small shields could be easily carried on horseback and were popular for cavalry. Longer shields were for the front lines could have a propping leg to stand them up, and move them forward in advance when necessary. As war changed, popularity waned and they became “obsolete” (later examples of them still do exist as part of armor, however, just not the same.) https://ebadojo.weebly.com/125021252512464blog/-jidate-and-tedate-japanese-hand-shields

Whorl-shaped bronze shield ornament A whorl-shaped bronze ornament with five arms twisting to the left, and a dome-shaped central boss. A rod-shaped handle is housed within the boss. The state of preservation is exceedingly good, and red iron oxide has been detected on both the interior and exterior surfaces. Diameter 5.6 cm. http://archaeology.jp/sites/asahi/index.html

@wackyserious mentioned something.

It would be satisfying to burn. (Visual)

There are things that are changing. Those scenarios were helpful in the early alphas. Unused maps or ( or outdated) should go to community maps.

You have to micro too much. Ctrl or Ctrl+Q. Not to mention that you can not put hotkeys to the stances. So the troops disperse quite a bit at the slightest deconcentration. Without mention in most cases they are cannon fodder for towers and Fortresses.

There are several problems. 1- Soldiers tend to be very incompetent and capture everything. 2- The second thing is the mechanics of capturing and deleting buildings.There should be an extra step. Like an assimilation process. Loyalty is fine. The damage depends... You have understand that a house is not the same as a barracks or a fortress. They must have different mechanics. Capturing 10 houses is a waste of time.

The scenarios are good for triggers. Mission-challenge based scenario.

in any case the correct name is Wa. The terms Yayoi and Wajin can be used interchangeably, though "Wajin" (倭人) refers to the people of Wa and "Wajin" (和人) is another name for the modern Yamato people.[9] Wa (Jin means people in Japanese). Anyone who has seen a popular anime like DB in Spanish must be familiar with the term. Example. Saiya-jin. https://doyouknowjapan.com/history/yayoi/ it's problematic to just refer to as Yayoi.

in those cases Gaia should pass to allied property.

Estoy pensando en llamarlo Reino Yamatai.

for example Lipany. forests in a valley with mountains around.

It's the worst, it's the most boring map. You have to fill some maps with eyecandy, or things to do. We need a gold rush map. I like the new AoE IV maps and the AoM ones. And the exotics from AoE III.

as long as you remove what is horrible (aesthetic), that will be fine.

I love hybrid RTS games. Bronze era RTS Open World?

I wasn't going to say it but I was going to say it.Always your mod has practical solutions. ------- @Stan` Delenda Est Solution; For as long as this problem problem is solved...It would be nice to implement not capturing all buildings, especially civilians, houses, and warehouse/farmstead.

The problem is that new players don't understand that mechanic. Not to mention is a suicidal move against with towers and fortresses. And No tutorial explain about this mechanics.

In the Argentine communities they are called Roberto. I never knew why. Sometimes it's part of the trolling. ------ (1 and 2 ) I don't understand the need to show the body on the internet. (Men and women). For some reason the new generations think that showing nudity is normal. I find it very bizarre how the internet creates certain behaviors. for a cleavage photo it is already scandalous. I know there is art, but most of the photos I see on the internet are not art. (3 ) it would be a poor security decision.

I've been asking for this for years. ITMS said no in those days. @Stan` Maybe you think differently. Capture must be a behavior that can be toggled on or toggled off.
