OK, is Win10 problem, same problem playing AoM. but the driver suggested by Stan didn't work

I'm not sure but your question will be answer in the other topic.

That idea can be nice for a new type of building. ------- The aura can be use to give a hard capture rate? We can use statues a national civ element to avoid some buildings will be easy to capture. But that is off topic.

But , I saw you interested in the Auto Lobby, but can't be easy, you need great computer like a server to host a several matches.

Hmmm but you can play without WFG Lobby.

I was update the image about temple problem, is related to aura healing buildings.

yeah but the guys that are using the game for several experiments. Because is open source.

Not exactly a gameplay.

it was , now is avaible. ( SVN) future A19

sword cavalry, I'm not sure about spear cavalry, actually the cavalry conquer and capture all in vanilla game.Melee cavalry are weak vs bolt shooter( scorpions) but slinger too. Ok we are talk about early middle game, the siege warfare before the siege engines. Remember not all Civs are Romans, Carthaginians or Succesors. Think about little factions.

nice suggestion but first need something like moral system. but can be an aura unitthat raises your army's stats

Scheme with melee ranged. For me slinger can deal as siege vs towers ( good)and defender( low but acceptable) Javelin can deal with cavalry ranged ( good). And as defender can be ( worst) Archer can deal with infantry melee ( very good to good) and as defender (good) have best range but can't deal with siege units * as defender I mean at the top at wall Slinger are weak against cavalry Javelin ire are weak against melee infantry Archer are weak against all cavalry Between they: Slinger can defeat archer if is nearly Javelin can defeat slinger easily Archer can defeat Javalinier if aren't close Obviously this are 1vs 1 same condition. Range: Slinger very short range Javeliner short range Archer long range This unit are for supported more specialist Slinger have great synergy supporting the siege units and very high hack attack unit Javeliner are good supporting Roman infantry or Iberian infantry from ranged cavalry and killing elephant Archer are great supporting defenses and infantry from other infantry melee

Yeah, sword cavalry is range killer. May be the skirmisher can deal with sword cavalry but not with elite sword cavalry. Sword cavalry can be heavy think in future units like Praetorian cavalry guards, Sassanids Cataphract ( with mace). Ranged cavalry are light they can't deal with infantry ranged or pikeman, but are heavy infantry killer. Parthian Archer vs Roman legionary as example.( in the future of course) Slinger are strong if Siege units aren't upgraded, and if they are like more ram o siege tower ( without units inside) but have a little advantage , but their short range can't take a bolt shooter or a ranged siege. We need separate siege into two/ three types. Melee siege, ranged siege ( onagers, catapults, ballista) and Tanks siege tower and Assyrian ram. But the bonus must work as defenders climbed over a wall segment. Without cover they must be weak and very short range, even in mass, they have low hp. Mostly slingers were shepherds or people from lower class. We need split lancer to spear lancer are like to pikeman as cavalry(Cataphract using two hands) and spear cavalry, like Roman cavalry. The Lancer can kill infantry sword and maceman. But have good fight vs spearman, but can't take pikeman.

Chronology how Seleucid Empire Rise and Fall. http://www.historyfiles.co.uk/KingListsMiddEast/SyriaSeleucids.htm this important to know where Seleucid can train troops.

Its possible they uses these archers? yes, but no against Romans. its probably they use them when don't have a great extension. ---- These statements as to the composition of the Seleucid army belong to the time of the dynasty's greatness. As its dominion contracted it could no ion, draw on such distant fields. The army probably became more exclusively Syrian, although the Taurus still furnished wild fighting men; and we have seen the Cretan mercenaries of Demetrius II take possession of the kingdom. But that the mass of the army of Antiochus Sidetes was drawn from Syria we are distinctly told; there was hardly a household unaffected by its loss. The armies of the Greek kings of the East were distinguished both from the older Greek armies and the Roman by their extern. magnificence. The commanders and the Macedonian cavalry wore, like the King, the national dress — kausia, chlamys and high-boots—which was, in fact, a sort of military uniform. "Nothing any-where but high-boots, nothing but men with the chlamys!" exclaim the Syracusan ladies who go to see a procession of troops in Alexandria. Thekausia of the officers was crimson. The cloaks were in many cases gorgeously embroidered. neers-here drawn from non-Hellenic races in various parts of the world. We hear of Thracian slingers (Agrianes), of Mysian bowmen, Lydian-javelineers, Elymaean, Median and Persian bow-men, slingers from the hills of the Kurds (Kyrtioi, Kardakes). But none of the peoples of Asia were more dreaded as enemies or valued as allies than the Gauls. Their large limbs, wild hair, enormous shields and swords, the chanting, howling, and dancing with which they moved to battle, the deafening rattle of their shields, all contributed to strike terror. Perhaps from the time when the house of Seleucus was excluded from Asia Minor it became harder and harder to get Gaulish mercenaries.. hear of none in the later wars whose theatre was Syria. But Antiochus IV was still able to show 5000 in the Daphne procession. Lost of Mesopotamia. The Seleucid king and army spent the winter feasting, hunting, and drinking (the Seleucids maintained the Macedonian tradition of heavy drinking). As with any time an army is quartered upon a population, tensions soon grew between the locals and the Syrian troops. The new Parthian ruler, Phraates II, had not been idle; raising a new army while stirring up rebellion in the Seleucid occupied towns of Media. Hoping to further sew dissension amongst his foe, Phraates also released his long-held prisoner, Demetrius II, Antiochus' older brother, to return to Syria and reclaim the throne. That winter (130–129 BCE), several Median towns rose in rebellion and attacked their Seleucid garrisons. Antiochus marched to support one such isolated garrison with only a small force (likely only his Royal Guards). In a barren valley, he was ambushed and killed by Phraates II and a large force of Parthians, which had entered the country without being detected. The last great Seleucid king died in battle, a fitting end for the heir of Seleucus I Nicator (the Victor). (One disputed account has Antiochus take his own life, after the battle is lost, to avoid capture by the Parthians.) After Antiochus VII Sidetes, the Parthians regained the territory briefly lost, and the Seleucid realm was now restricted to Syria.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antiochus_VII_Sidetes

What is Assyria? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyria Composite bows were soon adopted and adapted by civilizations who came into contact with nomads, such as the Chinese, Assyrian, and Egyptian. Several composite bows were found in the tomb of Tutankhamun, who died in 1324 BCE.[7] Composite bows (and chariots) are known in China from at least the Shang Dynasty (1700–1100 BCE).[8] By the 4th century BCE, chariotry had ceased to have military importance, replaced by cavalry everywhere (except in Britannia where charioteers are not recorded as using bows). the introduction of a standing army(Neo Assyrian Empire). This included a larger number of foreign soldiers but mixed in with other Assyrian soldiers.[17][21] These men could be supplied by vassal states as tribute or when demanded by the Assyrian King. They were given Assyrian equipment and uniform which made them indistinguishable from one another, possibly to increase their integration.[21] While the infantry in the standing army contained a large number of foreigners (including Aramaeans and even Greeks), the Assyrian cavalry and charioteers continued to be dominated by Assyrians.[17] There were exceptions however, and as casualties mounted additional troops would not be unwelcome; Sargon II reports that he managed to incorporate 60 Israelite Chariot teams into his army more similar, the conic helmet like Romans Syrian Archer, but not connection yet. https://books.google.hn/books?id=Y_sAi7EkTLkC&pg=PA50&lpg=PA50&dq=assyrian+archery+seleucid&source=bl&ots=xshdPUeirn&sig=lFrnHpKM98YWy-TwQOe4KO5mNKM&hl=es-419&sa=X&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=archer&f=false

Why Total War Rome II use Syrian Archer? http://europabarbarorum.heimstatt.net/index.php?mp=unit&unit=eastern%20missile%20syrian%20archers&text=&ownership=dacia&class=missile&category=infantry http://www.ancient-battles.com/catw/seleucia.htm why I'm so skeptical?

so was some kind of est archers? here are another clue. The choice of Apollo Toxotes served to legitimize the Seleucids as the rightful successors of the Achaemenid kings. Achaemenid inscriptions invariably praise the prowess of the Great King as a bowman. Achaemenid coins depict him shooting or holding a bow, imagery that inspired the popular Greek name for these coins, toxotai. The bow was, in fact, a symbol of divine kingship for the Iranians, and its association with sovereignty can be traced back in ancient Mesopotamia to Akkadian and Assyrian origins. The survival of this tradition beyond the Seleucid period is attested by the reverse type of Arsacid drachms(Parthians), which also show a seated archer. As the son of an Iranian princess, Antiochus I was perhaps especially sympathetic to eastern cultural traditions. His fourteen-year reign in the east as his father’s coregent will have deepened his exposure and brought home the practicalities of placating the subject populations. Seleucus’ early use of solar imagery in the east suggests that he too was attuned to the multiethnic character of his territories. Indeed, this may explain why he was the only one of Alexander’s successors to remain married to his Iranian wife and to make her the matriarch of a Hellenistic dynasty. Still, it was Antiochus, not Seleucus, who found a way to inscribe the Seleucids in the eastern tradition of divine kingship by claiming descent from Apollo and portraying him as the divine archer. At the same time, as the patron of Greek colonization Apollo spoke to the Macedonian and Greek immigrants who peopled the new foundations of the Seleucid kingdom. http://www.seleukidtraces.info/miscellanea/exc_iossif_apollo_toxotes

What is Daphane? But before that he (Antiochus)decided to give a dramatic scenic effect that has left us, thanks to the comments thereon of the classical sources, one of the stories about the composition of the most important ancient Seleucid army. In 167 the Roman general Emilius Paulus had celebrated his victory with a Pidna Games held in Amphipolis, this is believed to Antiochus IV decided to overcome this exhibition with a parade in honor of Apollo to be held in the Syrian city of Daphne, only a year later, although in reality it is more likely that its purpose was celebrating his victory in Egypt, the exaltation of the achievements occurred in the Sixth Syria war or preparing thus the subsequent campaign in the East, seeking to restore the cohesion of empire. In any case, Antiochus IV hoped to use the show as a demonstration of power at international level, so that the impact was enormous both among its allies as among their enemies, and to the inhabitants of the empire. That is why the 167 had already begun sending emissaries to the various Hellenistic kingdoms in order to ensure the attendance of their representatives. The festival would be held, probably in summer, although it discusses the exact date, and started with a big military parade, where all units that made up the Seleucid army at that time were, wearing their best clothes. The record of this event forms one of the most valuable for the study at hand sources, not only unusual, but also by its size and symbolism. Infantry - Romanized 5,000 soldiers, 5,000 Mysians, 3,000 light infantry Cilicians 3,000 5,000 Thracians and Gauls, with 20,000 macedonians( from Greece), 5000 chalkaspides and an undetermined number of argyraspides (do not know how many but in the battle of Raphia in 217 Polybius tells us They are involving 10,000 men chosen from all over the kingdom and the Macedonian armed way, most of them argyraspides). Making a total of over 46,000 troops. Cavalry - Nissean 1,000 riders, horsemen 3,000 citizens, 1,000 partners, 1,000, 1,000 chosen horsemen, 1,000 of the 1,500 cataphracts Agema. Total 9,500. Other units - 100 carts six horses, 40 chariots with four horses, one chariot drawn by four elephants, 1 chariot drawn by two elephants and 36 war elephants. About some archers Polybius does not mention any details, but since we know that Mysians 2,500 archers participated in the Battle of Magnesia under the orders of Antiochus III, so it is possible that these also were at, but can not be sure because it could also be of hoplites Thureophoroi or, as suggested by the fact that a quota for the command of a certain Apollonius was sent in 167 by Antiochus IV to restore order in Jerusalem, so it could not be only archers. http://www.academia.edu/6262664/El_desfile_de_Dafne._Ritual_y_exaltaci%C3%B3n_en_el_Imperio_sel%C3%A9ucida_The_Daphne_parade._Ritual_and_exaltation_in_Seleucid_Empire_ ###### Thracian mercenaries along with Mysian, Cilician, Lycian, Mysian and Vassal troops from the mountainous areas of the empire were used by Antiochus III in conjunction with Thorakitai in his storming of the Elburz range in 210 BC.[26] The Persian and Iranian troops were most likely of a higher professional military standing than most of the other contingents, as they are seen on garrison duty throughout the empire.[27] In the review at Daphne in 166 BC, the large numbers of allied and vassal contingents are missing. They were of doubtful reliability, usefulness and efficiency. So much so that Appian blamed them for the defeat at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC.[28] The absence of auxiliaries from the army of Antiochus IV may have contributed to its strength. Making up for the loss of ethnic contingents, the army was supplemented by mercenaries, who were more experienced and better trained. The Thracian and Galatian mercenaries at Daphne would have been of good use in campaigns in the rough, hilly terrain. For example, the arms and equipment of the Thracian troops allowed the individual soldier greater mobility and freer action in hand-to-hand combat than a phalangite could adopt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seleucid_army#Allied.2C_Vassal_and_Mercenary_Infantry About Mysia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mysia from House of Seleucos https://archive.org/details/houseofseleucusv017717mbp were armed in the Macedonian manner, they were not apparently Macedonian in blood, but picked men drawn from Al provinces A the Empire-an indication that here again the policy of Alexander to bring young Orientals under the Macedonian drill-sergeant and close to his own person was not abandoned. A still lighter infantry were those who carried, not the Macedonian shield, but the un-metalled pelte (originally a Thracian weapon), which had come into common use in Greece the fourth century. It was as peltasts that the Greek mercenaries in the armies of the Eastern kings served, and it was A Apply this arm that the recruiting officers A Ptolemy and Seleucid were continually going up and down Greece.

Certain A the races of Asia Minor Also furnished peltasts - the semi-hellenized Lycians, the Pamphylians and Pisidians. Cretans Next in order of lightness to the peltasts came the Cretans, who formed a very important element-especially for mountain warfare. Crete seethed in chronic broils of one little state against another; the Cretans were born to arms, to ambushes in steep places and stealthy clambering. When they were not fighting at home they went to fight abroad in the service of foreign kings. They were found in all the armies of the time, ranged indifferently on both sides in the great battles. With the Cretans are classed at Magnesia the Carians and Cilicians. The Cilicians are described, both at Raphia and in the Daphne procession, as "armed in the manner of men girt for running.- that is, everything was sacrificed to rapidity of movement on broken ground. The condition of things in Cilicia was very much the same as in Crete; both peoples made the strength of the great pirate power in the last century before Christ. Some of the tribes of the Balkan peninsula, Thracians and Illyrians, Also took service in the same capacity as the Cretans. In the Daphne procession there are 3000 Thracians. The missile-shooters, those whose weapons were of long range-archers, slingers, javeliners

If the Syrian Archery were Hamians from Hama, I found some little things Hellenistic and Roman history Aqueduct in Epiphania (= Hama). In the second half of the 4th century BC the modern region of Syria came under the influence of Greco-Roman culture, following long lasting semitic and Persian cultures. Alexander the Great's campaign from 334 to 323 BC brought Syria under Hellenic rule. Since the country lay on the trade routes from Asia to Greece, Hama, and many other Syrian cities, again grew rich through trade. After the death of Alexander the Great his Near East conquests were divided between his generals, and Seleucus Nicator became ruler of Syria and the founder of the Seleucid dynasty. Under the Seleucids there was a revival in the fortunes of Hama. The Aramaeans were allowed to return to the city, which was renamed Epiphania[5] (in Greek: Επιφανεία), after the Seleucid Emperor Antiochus IV Epiphanes. Seleucid rule began to decline, however, in the next two centuries, and Arab dynasties began to gain control of cities in this part of Syria, including Hama
