Nothing is set in stone.

That of hidden only exists for garrisoned units from there nothing is hidden. You have to know how the game engine and simulation works.

It's different graphics engine and different optimization.

A matter of taste. That's what mods are for.

In that case I would call it paranoia.

The problem is the snowball effect of the gameplay due to the booming of the citizen soldiers.

I don't think it's a good gameplay idea.

No, it would take a while to explain , what I thought you meant was a bigger, nicer place to live.

A palisade is not the same as a wooden wall. A stockade is simply tree trunks that form a basic and inexpensive defense. I don't know if you have built them in the game. If you see well, it is not practical to climb on it, otherwise, you could be impaled.

Try to avoid the word residential, it confuses me, I tend to think of settlement aesthetics rather than population capacity. It's probably a cultural issue on my par Yes I understand your point in the same way as you say.

That's why I ask. The archer Civs in Age of Empires do this with their archers, be they Mayan, Vietnamese or English. English higher range of fire. Mayans more piercing. And Vietnamese more pierce armor.

May be some of these archers can have armor stats bonuses, others range bonuses and others rate of fire? Have any difference between them?

I like this one a lot. https://www.ancient-hebrew.org/manners/tent-dwellings.htm Tent material The Bedouin's home is his tent, which is made of black goat's hair. He calls it beit sha'ar , i.e., "house of hair." It is made of coarse, heavy fabric, and serves to protect the family in winter from the cold winds; in the summer the sides are usually lifted, and the tent serves as a sunshade. This goat's hair cloth that is used in making these tents is porous when it is dry, but becomes waterproof after the first rains have shrunk it together. The Song of Solomon refers to these black goat's hair tents thus: "I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar" (Cant 1:5). (presumably) black like the goats from which the tents of Kedar were made. Kedar, whose name probably meant “dark” or “swarthy”** was the second son of Ishmael, and his descendants expanded into a powerful tribe that lived east of Israel and Ammon. It was the black tents of Kedar—woven from the silky black hairs of the goat herds—to which the bride compared herself in the first chapter Tent encampments and manner of setting up of tents If the Bedouin Arabs live together as a tribe or a clan, as they often do, or if more than one family dwell with each other, then their tents are not pitched in a promiscuous cluster, but more likely in a large circle to make it possible for at least some of their flocks to be protected inside the circle. By the side of the sheik's tent stands a long spear as an emblem of his authority (cf. practice of King Saul in 1Sam. 26:7). His tent is generally larger than the others Inside furnishings of tents The shepherd's tent is always subject to perpetual removals, as Hezekiah indicated in his song of thanksgiving, after his recovery from sickness (Isa. 38:12). Therefore, the furnishings of that tent must include only the necessities. Rugs cover the ground, but at night the bedding is brought out, which is composed of mats, or carpets on which to sleep; and their outer garments worn by day become their coverings by night. Sacks of grain are apt to be piled around the middle tent posts. Sure to be about the tent some place are the handmill, and the mortar, in which the grain is pounded. And hanging from the poles will be the skin bags or bottles, for water and other liquids. Also there will be a leathern bucket with which to draw water from any well that may be available, and an earthen pitcher, used by the women to carry the water. Cooking utensils will not be many, but will include pots, kettles, and pans. Serving dishes will include mats, platters, or larger dishes, and there will be cups for drinking. A primitive lamp burning olive oil will illuminate the tent by night. See Lighting Of The House; Why Exclusion From A Feast Was Considered To Be So Terrible. If the family is fortunate enough to have a camel, then the camel furniture will be used for sitting upon inside the tent, as Rachel was doing when her father searched the tents for the lost teraphim (Gen. 31:34). Also see The Teraphim. Little else than these furnishings would be needed for the simple life of the tent-dwellers. The hearth is of course upon the ground. A hole is dug in the earth where there is a fire kindled, and several stones are put around it, and the cooking utensils are placed on these and over the fire. One of these hearths is inside the tent, and another one is outdoors, quite likely near to the women's quarters. In the hot weather the cooking is done outside rather than inside the tent.

That's the problem with the Kushites, their archers,They simply do not stand out from the rest of the army. While Carthage is doable.

Basically I plan to have variations of Arab or Bedouin nomad tents.

According to the archives I saw one called as greek tent. And also I had already posted references, some of the texture as I understand black goat hair was used. "Traditionally Bedouin tents were made from goat hair. Not only is it a strong fibre, it also swells when it becomes wet and therefore provides a water-resistant cover in rain. Here’s a close-up of the fabric of the Bedouin tent we have at the Cobb Institute of Archaeology, Mississippi. Goat hair was also used to weave mantels." https://timfrankarchaeology.wordpress.com/2012/01/14/the-goat/

She tends to exaggerate and be eccentric with gameplay.

How could we make archer civs unique from each other? How could we make the Kushites the best archer spam?

That's why I said Africans since Kushites and Ptolemies can crush them.

And the Camels

The Old timer. he is one of three founders of the project. 2003 really? I was a teenager.Starting to be a young adult

Carthage functions somewhat like the Kushites. It would be interesting to have more diversity with this faction. It's not bad but the other Africans outclass them.
