thank you I was have that doubt

we need fix the cavalry archer name.

I design a new one.

what happens with Han emblem?

The pivot catapult, known as the traction trebuchet, had existed in China since the Warring States period (as evidenced by the Mozi).[203] It was regularly used in sieges during the Han dynasty, by both besiegers and the besieged.[203] The most common projectile weapon used during the Han dynasty was the small handheld, trigger-activated crossbow (and to a lesser extent, the repeating crossbow), first invented in China during the 6th or 5th century BCE.[204] Although the nomadic Xiongnu were able to twist their waists slightly while horse-riding and shoot arrows at targets behind them, the official Chao Cuo (d. 154 BCE) deemed the Chinese crossbow superior to the Xiongnu bow.[205] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_and_technology_of_the_Han_dynasty

Strangely enough, we found little mention of siege weaponry right after the demise of the Qin and in the succeeding Han dynasty. The Han dynasty (206 B.C.-A.D. 220), further extended the borders of China, establishing the first official military outposts along the narrow northwestern corridor of what would eventually be known as the Silk Route. Investigations of the writings from the highly fragmented bamboo-strip Shoufa Shouling Shi San Pian, a manual on siege warfare from the Han dynasty, revealed a reference to a mobile weapon called the Ji (or Jie) Che Plough Cart, with a 50bu (75m) range, spaced on top of defensive walls at intervals of 200bu (300m) for 5-crew versions and 50bu for smaller 3-crew versions: " for high Ji Che that have a range of 50 bu, one is deployed every 200 bu, while smaller Ji Che are deployed every 50 bu. A crew of 5 for every large Bei (Cup), while a crew of 3 for every small Bei." With a relatively short 50bu range, this Ji Che might have been a small traction catapult and not an arcuballista, as ranges for even the smallest arcuballistas would had easily exceeded this distance. The use of the word Bei (Cup) might refer to the use of a scoop instead of a sling to seat a projectile, and fired in a seesaw-like motion. This perhaps even explained the word Plough in the name. However, as there was no further information available to be gleaned from the bamboo-strips, the workings of this mobile catapult remained elusive. In the Huai Nan Zi ca. 120 B.C. we found a description of a Wu Gang Che or Military Strong Cart, one of the few references to Han era field artillery: "Ancient soldiers were armed only with bows and swords; their spears had no pick-axes and their bills no hooks. But the soldiers of the late times have had to be equipped with battering rams for attack, and shields against the arrows; they shoot with multi-bolt crossbows which are lashed to carriages for the fight." From the Han Shu or Records of the Han one more reference stood out, in Li Ling's campaign of 99 B.C. for the possible use of a Han era arcuballista. Beleaguered and harassed in a fighting withdrawal deep in nomad country, Li Ling's army used what seemed to be wagon mounted crossbows in a defensive formation to defend against the attacking Shanyu cavalry. The early formative years of the Han surely must have employed great numbers of siege machines of some sort but to date, there is scant evidence of such in written records and none in Han era excavations. One theory that might account for this sudden disappearance is that the Han, unlike the combative states of the Warring States period, had little need for large siege weapons. The borders of the Han neighboured empty nomad steppe lands and vast deserts. This forced a more mobile style of warfare onto Han commanders and instead of sedentary siege techniques we see the development of lager type infantry squares as temporary defenses and an emphasis on highly mobile cavalry in an extremely early version of maneuver warfare, helping project Han military might beyond the garrisoned borders of China.

Catapults have been in use by the various cultures throughout history. One very early possible reference to catapults came to us from Part 2 of the Book of Chronicles (Chapter 26, verses 14 & 15) in the old testament of the Bible which referred to the defense of Jerusalem during the reign of Uzziah of Judea in the late 9th century B.C. "Uzziah provided for all the army the shields, spears, helmets, coats of mail, bows and stones for slinging. In Jerusalem he set up machines, invented by skilled workers, on the towers and the corners for shooting arrows and large stones. And his fame spread far, for he was marvelously helped until he became strong." It was not immediately clear what form these "machines... for shooting arrows and large stones" were, but from the distinction the passage made between these machines and the "bows and stones for slinging" provided to the army, it does seem possible that they were siege engines of some sort. However, there remains no corroborative evidence of 9th century B.C. Hebrew catapults, and this reference to a possible catapult may instead have been a result of an error in the translation of the original Hebrew text. In the original text by Ezekiel written ca. 580 B.C., the word used was karim which meant battering ram, but this was mistranslated by the Greek chronicler in 250 B.C. to the word "belostaseiz" or "ballistarium" in Latin, meaning "artillery platform". Interesting article about siege warfare by Israelites can be good for siege warfare. http://www.grandhistorian.com/chinesesiegewarfare/siegewarfare-briefhistory.html

there is the tower

http://www.grandhistorian.com/chinesesiegewarfare/siegewarfare-introduction.html Here are good reading about evolution of China's Siege Warfare

I will Added a existent blacksmith temporary.

I forgot blacksmith to upgrade weapons I lost my units easily without them.

List of missing Cavalry in barracks Archer cavalry in barracks New 3D models( Stan) Siege tower Elite units Rank technology Special buildings Bonus Civ. Unique technologies Blacksmith Create chariot unit melee or archer

great,is the best. I love blue roof and the red brown textures

try build 2 barracks and collect all food nearly , and collect wood, build 1 barrack at early to produce unit faster, all unit produced use to collect food and wood, and create more military units if the military units are not avaible train females to gathering wood build houses and outpost when food is low build farm and then start to research II phase When you have second phase starting you expense to build a farmland( many famr around) collect stone to build a barrack and prepare the first defenses.

Well , Solved

a see what is the problem need a variation with bricks and a be imperfect have scratches etc.

so its not complete upgraded this feature? you have the same problem by the update?

now I see something is need to be improved but i dont know how, is the texture. the walls that are by bricks are too plain. may be needs a efects

I Know about recent changes but I haven't a great Graphic Card even I havent Support to update anymore(VAIO)

Great

Yeah we need one thst is in public domain or make own. First I want to imitate textures from AoK or AoE 3 wood and Iron textures But the background is the most hard to think whst can be good or appropriated may be a landscape and a Village but we don't have a drawer you know an Illustrator.

broke?I didn't play in weeks and yesterday I was play the Vanilla version after long time without do it.

The Roman Imperial faction is planned for second part and the Late Roman (western and eastern) are too. Many of them can be Eyecandy because are too big (scale) to be a building like market or farmstead these you propose. But can be good inspiration.

yeah happens with my old Mac too. I play old games in there.

I need walls for Egyptians Are not finish -Wonder -spB Pharaoh's Palace research technologies and train units -chariots Egyptians ( melee spear and archer chariot) -dock - storehouse And adding props to existent buildings @Rada I need melee chariots how I can make one in XML template ?
