The Canaanite peoples and the Hebrews had temples with libraries apparently. [...]The texts were all found in the level corresponding to the last period of the city (XIV-XII centuries B.C.). The precise places of their discovery are: the Library, attached to the temple of Baal, and the Royal Palace or Great Palace. In the former, texts of a predominantly mythological and epical nature were found, while those in the latter are of an administrative nature. Other texts were found in the archive of the Small Palace or Southern Palace as well as in private archives, belonging to cult and divination personnel who kept their own records, and in the archive of the Palace Outside the Walls (Ras Ibn Hani). Such texts were incised on clay tablets and are basically written in the language of exchange. basically written in the language of international exchange of the time (Akkadian) and in the city's own language (Ugaritic). (Ugaritic). Of lesser importance and number are those that bear witness to other writing systems, corresponding to as many different languages. https://www.jstor.org/stable/43075402 ------ UGARITIC , a Northwest Semitic language spoken and written in northern Syria during the second millennium b.c.e. Documents written in this tongue have been discovered at Ras Shamra, site of the ancient *Ugarit, and at nearby Ras ibn Hani. The texts were written on clay tablets in a unique cuneiform alphabetic script. This represented a revolutionary adaptation of the Mesopotamian writing method, which was in its original form syllabic and logographic and required hundreds of symbols; thus there were separate symbols for ba and ab, ik and ki, etc. The Ugaritic repertoire consisted, in contrast, of 27 basic consonants. An additional sign for samekh and two supplementary alefs served to distinguish the three fundamental Semitic vowels in combination with that consonant, i.e., aʾ, iʾ, uʾ. Rare instances have been noted in which these consonant-plus-vowel signs were utilized as pure vowel indicators and in two texts the yod seems to stand for a final vowel; otherwise the Ugaritic method of writing was entirely consonantal. Five small inscriptions show certain unusual features such as minor divergences in the shapes of letters and especially a preference for only 22 consonants as in the traditional Canaanite *alphabet. Three of these texts with the shorter alphabet were found not at Ugarit but in Ereẓ Israel. The corpus of Ugaritic inscriptions so far published represents a wide range of literary and nonliterary types. The former have attracted the widest attention because of their parallels to biblical poetry and epic prose. Of special interest are the tablets pertaining to the adventures of Baal and his consort Anath which outnumber the other literary works discovered. In many instances, the language and poetic style are – as shown especially by U. Cassuto and H.L. Ginsberg – very close to passages in the Hebrew poetry, e.g., the god of death, Mot, warns Baal not to boast "because you have smitten Lotan [Leviathan] the evil serpent, you have destroyed the crooked serpent, the mighty one of seven heads." The analogy with Isaiah 27:1 is indeed striking. 14th century B.C Ugarit was obliged to pay tribute and to supply its overlord with troops. When invading “Sea Peoples” * began ravaging Anatolia (central Turkey) and northern Syria, Ugarit’s troops and fleet were requisitioned by the Hittites. As a result, Ugarit itself was defenseless and was completely destroyed in about 1200 B.C --- Beginning in our first season of excavations at Ras Shamra in 1929, we noted in our excavation diary the presence of a fine, powdery, homogeneous soil, pale yellow or more frequently whitish in color, which was characteristic of Ugarit’s last level. This layer had no internal stratification and in places was two meters [about six feet] thick. In this dry and powdery soil lay the remains of the buildings devastated by the earthquakes and by the fires of Ugarit’s last days. From the eastern edge of Ras Shamra’s extended hill, near the temple of Baal and Dagon, to the western limits at the seacoast where the palace, public buildings and luxurious private houses were located, everything was covered by this whitish-yellow dust layer. It is irrefutable evidence that Ugarit’s last days were hot and dry.

We should have different icons for the versions of 0AD. For example svn has a different icon and A26 has another one.

@Stan`

gives nostalgia.

This is how projects are started in 0AD

AoE II Definive Edition.

That is an example for others. The encyclopedia does not exist yet.

That's an example

Find what?

I was thinking it might be because of that. But I never saw it that way. Detect will be better.

"Sensoring"

0AD's initiative to give a historical and educational context to the game, the AoE saga also brings this feature, where AoM stands out the most. It explains every detail, technology, building and unit. The encyclopedia is included in the game. It gives a simple and short summary of the topics covered. ----- @ShadowOfHassen here is.

seems good.

I have been satisfied with the preliminary tests.

This was going to be corrected by balance mod melee.

It would be excellent to look for unrated games, among novices who want to practice or players who are not serious about it like me.

These are good that can only be used by the development team. There are times when there are many more factions than the ones we have proposed in the forums that are visible. One time a devs once let it slip and revealed several planned factions. I assume that the original ones are there. It's time you knew who to ask. @wowgetoffyourcellphone He is incognito but was a project leader a decade ago. Wow can explain many concepts and units. @Genava55 Expert in history and other things of considerable scientific knowledge. Celts are their main knowledge. @Thorfinn the Shallow Minded He can speak about history and Greeks.

I doubt you can see all those in a single post of that and other posts are inside the team's secret forums.

Approved?

It depends on how you approach the problem. If you make a mod of this it should go in the mod section but if it is to be attached to the main project in that case put it in the general forum.
