being of darkness

a thing i noticed, i was playing the iberians and i saw that their merchant ship has the name emporiko plio which is greek

another good thing would be to be able to conceal units when you are marching in forests so you could set traps and the enemy too, also when you check the reveal option it should reveal only the terrain not what the enemy does, unless there are units nearby, something like the fog of war in aom

it would be nice imo if the mini factions were like the indians from aoe 3 they would be independent, they would grow to some extent and you could become allies with them or enemies, depending on the civilization you will have and they could lend you a hand with an invasion, defence, trade etc but you won't make units like in the aoe3 but tell them somehow if you want any help to attack or defend

i want to suggest to put 2 new units for the ancient greeks, the one would be The gastraphetes which was an ancient ballista, it was handheld and it fired arrows build by famous Greek engineer ctesibius and the other is the polybolos a repeating ballista invented by Dionysius of Alexandria

well i see your point and it is quite correct, even nowadays the center of the villages and towns are caleed agora, because there are the markets and also churches and other shops also the people gather at the coffee bars to drink coffee and talk, it just seemed strange for me because it is like you had two different buildings with the same name thank you very much yes i know it is difficult, another thing i noticed is that the cavalry when it moves it seems it's running but their animation is like that of a robot another thing concerning the units you built in a fortess the name lithobolos is not the ancient greek name but more like the modern greek, the original name is palintonon here is a source i found from a fellow greek http://www.mlahanas....tapultTypes.htm it describes the types the ancient greeks used, i have found others sources from webpages and books i have but they are in greek unfortunately. one more thing about the fortress, i searched books and the net to find an ancient fortress but it seems we didn't have any during the classical age the fortress was the acropolis (the one in athens was serving as a fortress before it became a sacred place for the ancients) which isn't only the one with the parthenon there are others too less known. in more ancient times during the mycenae for example the city was the citadel where the palace existed. and one last thing if you want i could scan a photo of how an agora used to be and what it is pictured because it is in greek

well i have been watching your progress with the game for a long time and i want to say that you are doing a great job, but as far as i have noticed there are some things that you could fix for example on the map hyrcanian shores set for two players i found 1 fish in the sea and all the others were on the grass the rocks and etc, also you should make the coast line with gulfs, capes and not just a straight line, also the texture when it changes from grass to sand sometimes has square edges, another one is that when i build for example a temple on a leaning land it ends up with the one end buried and the other floating. furthermore the pigs need walking animation because they are hovering above the land and another thing concerning the greek factions, the civ center is called agora and it's wrong because agora means market and where people gather, according to ancient greek history agora served as a marketplace where merchants kept stalls or shops to sell their goods and it also was the center of athletic, artistic, spiritual and political life of the city, later during the roman years agora was called forum, also the name of the market emporion is also wrong because emporion means trading in english, and to pre-empt questions about how do i know what it means and etc i know because i am from greece, sorry for the long post and if i did any mistakes in english, i hope to finish the game and make it the best strategy ever :victory:
