    Something else to consider we also don't group Greeks but have Athens, Macedonians and so forth in game.

    We did group them when it was 1 civ. We only differentiated them by name when we split them up into their constituent civs.

    Moreover, it's just english that call the current german country german

    The game is built in English, so "Germans" and "Germany" is correct in English.

    And in the German language as far as I know, the word for Germanic people is Germanen

    This could be a temporary work-around, set your army in-formation to Standground stance and command them to move towards enemy

    Looks better, but one of the problems with formations is that they auto-focus attacks onto one target, so there is a ton ton ton of overkill (lost attack value). Ideal, units within formation should spread their attacks across the full width of the formation.

  4. I like Socrates as a hero because he actually fought in battles as a hoplite before becoming the famous philosopher. He even saved Alcibiades' life, I believe, when the Athenians were routed at the Battle of Delion, and was given a commendation for bravery. His execution was a reactionary blight on the Athenian government, similar in my mind to what they did to all of those poor generals and admirals after that naval battle they won (lol). You wouldn't disqualify Thucydides for having been banished, would you? ;)

    IIRC, Sokrates was not a very popular philosopher, but he brought the method of questioning "truth" to some perfection. Wouldn't it make sense to give a bonus on education similar to the library for the Ptolemies? 

    Right. I was thinking his nearby presence could make a building work faster (productionqueue; training and research).

  6. I propose this:

     

    Keep Hippocrates, but move him to the Greek shrines, that way you can capture a shrine and then train him (just once per player). He's not bound to any specific civ. 

    For an Athenian non-combat hero, I suggest Socrates and we come up with some other kind of bonus for him besides healing. Perhaps the Athenian version of the Han Minister or (Maur) Chanakya.

    Currently, like in many games, a ship stops blocking the movement of other ships once its hitpoints are 0. However, visually the ship does not disappear and we see it slowly sinking. As it is sinking, another ship can immediately move to its position where we see the two ships somehow merged together and this may look awkward sometimes. I have a suggestion: does it make sense to make a destroyed and sinking ship keep block other ships' movement until the sinking animation is over?

    Depends if it causes any lag or not, but I wouldn't mind if the sinking ship blocked movement for a couple seconds.

    Very cool, @wowgetoffyourcellphone. Are you making desert variants of those too?

    Yep! Variants for all the biomes that use the newer (big, the 2 middle ones as shown in the video) models. The only one that doesn't is the Alpine-Arctic ore, because it requires a "snow cap" prop, and such a prop I think would be stifling for the small ore models and hurt recognition. Will just use aegean_small_01 for that one.

    I think these run enough shades and colors that they can apply to almost any appropriate biome (for instance, Badlands, Sahara, or Savanna could all be used for the "Persia" biome or a "Middle Eastern" map, depending on the color of mountains and cliff terrains you're using). You don't see the filename in-game, so that's irrelevant to the player. All that matters is that the metal ore templates used match the map's color scheme. :)
