Grand campaign needs a lot of development, it is easier to make low budget campaigns like AoE I. Only triggers are needed, even a voice action isn't needed. In the first versions.

We know that the ductility of the Roman army allowed it to obtain astonishing victories even over the best cavalry of the ancient world: the Iranians. Thus, for example, in 135 A.D. the legionaries of Flavius Arrianus used their "pila" (javelins) to resist the onslaught of the horsemen and push them back. In this artistic reconstruction another interpretation is shown, in which the legionaries of first line lean on "scuta" (shields), at the same time supported by their comrades. This tactic could have been carried out when the Romans confronted the Sarmatians on a frozen Danube, during the Marcoman Wars, 166-180 d. C. Illustration by Zé Nuno Fraga.

I love the terrain, I love it. Game designers work more on the immersion of the terrain or background than on all the other art. At least that's what I heard in a video but I don't remember in which one and it was in Spanish, it would explain why AoE 4's terrains are so good.

Perhaps the player can save resources in the grand strategy mode and before each battle assign (pre setting) a percentage of materials (resources) and troops. Those troops and resources would be results of a previous game.

@Stan` can help you.

It's the same thing they do in the forums. Use ai or a convenient scripts.

I like a lot of AoEIII textures. The ground textures are fine, I would like to have them in the game. The concept art for 0 Ace is very close to AoE III.

It is very little information and as I read only 2 primary sources. That they describe it differently. What do you think of body armor? Lorica hamata? Breastplate?

Silly units... AOE II Sharkatzor

My inspiration for champion cavalry. Another AoE icons. From what you can see, AoE icons are very simple they have to look good when they are small instead of looking good when they are big.

Heavy cavalry (Champion cavalry).

Another different description, probably a later period. This to describe the role more than the appearance Some soldiers were trained for the singular purpose of fighting in a battle line, or firing a bow, or riding a horse. These men could become elite and irreplaceable in this position, yet antesignani were different. They were elite Roman Legionaries who were also proficient in fighting out of formation, skirmishing and harrying the enemy in an unconventional way – specialists in unconventional battlefield roles. Armoured as other Legionaries, and armed with spears, javelins and a gladius, antesignani were able to screen the advancing columns of infantry and perform counter-skirmish manoeuvres.

The term antesegnanus https://www.tesaurohistoriaymitologia.com/es/10134-antesignani Ante is a word that is understood in Spanish as antes or delante. Delante is translated as forward. And signanus comes from sing from signus or signum. Special chosen Roman soldiers, who fought in front of banners (signus, signum).

Ok, the Antesignanus is a commando kind unit, that is to say it fulfills roles of defending the flanks of the legion, it is a light shock and projectile troop, I don't know if you want it to have double role in the future. Speaking on truth, is that the mentions I've seen in the other games where it appears as part of some modification are not very accurate visually. Rise of Nations mod. Is supposed have a simple bronze breastplate instead of lorica hamata. We don't know if there is linothorax or leather armor under the breastplate. Europa Barbarorum Maybe like an Hastati It appears to be similar to the Hastati in armor.

Looks like a petra bot bug, it's not supposed to be able to deal with naval maps yet.

What kind of moderation? Forum , Lobby..?
