Indeed. Icons are exactly the same size in this alpha as in the last alpha.

I think acceleration should be tweaked to only occur when transitioning from idle or stopped state to move state. If going from move to move, such as when turning at a waypoint, then acceleration should not occur. Also, currently if you task a moving unit to a different target, the moving unit has to accelerate again, each time you task it. As I said, since the unit is already in motion the acceleration should be turned off. @wraitii @Freagarach

I am confused by a few things. The Han most definitely have a buildable Temple, called the "Simiao."

keep em coming! Minimap background:

Open these in separate tabs and then you can toggle and see the difference:

After sorting through all of the unit textures, I noticed that the Mauryas have a dearth of unit textures and not much variety. Let's gather references for improving this issue.

I think the current "civil_centre" model should become the Tachara (aka "Winter Palace"), which replaces the current "Apadana" in function. Then, a new civil_centre modeled. Apadana (aka "The Palace of Darius") should 100% be the new wonder. The "Hanging Gardens" moved to Atlas status as a "Wonder of the World" that can be used for scenarios and a new "Capture the Wonder" game mode. So, to bullet point the proposed changes: Wonder Current "Hanging Gardens" moved to Atlas-object status as a "Wonder of the World" that can be used for scenarios and a new "Capture the Wonder" game mode. The new wonder is the Apadana, aka "Palace of Darius I." Needs a new model and perhaps some new textures (though many of the existing textures can be used as well). Civic Center Redesigned with a new model. Existing model now used for the Special Building. Special Building Rechristened the Tachara, aka "Winter Palace," using the current civil centre model. Has the same functions and features, just a different name and model. The old model discarded. It's pretty much unusable. "Hall" Perhaps some redesign and tweaking of the model. AO map for sure. Ishtar Gate Moved to Atlas-object status as a "Wonder of the World" that can be used for scenarios and a new "Capture the Wonder" game mode. Would be nice to be remodeled to be more elaborate, but the existing model can be used for now.

Hmmm, maybe. I think Gallic War era Gauls mostly wore chain as well. Though, perhaps tube and yoke corselets aren't completely phased out.

Yeah, a bit too colorful, sadly. May work in a mod with hard battalions though.

It is justified to give the Xiongnu "real" fortress too, made of rammed earth. They built their fortress capital city out of the material.

This looks like a promising direction, @Lion.Kanzen:

Ironically, the 0 A.D. wheel is a common symbol for Gaia or the Earth.

Nice

Yes, please take a crack at it! This is what Delenda Est uses, but it's taken from Age of Mythology and is unusable in the base game. But Cleopatra did fashion herself as a new Isis, so a regal/Isis head dress wouldn't be out of the question. I will say that most references show her with "simpler" attire, probably looking more like this most of the time, but what's the fun in that?

Hi all! I'm currently in the process of reorganizing the the unit actors and unit textures in the development (SVN) repo. Please bear with me if you're an SVN player. The rest of the changes will take perhaps the rest of this week. It'll be worth it, as the reorganization helps the art team moving forward and makes it easier to maintain assets. And as I'm going through everything I'm improving textures, actors, and adding some new things here and there. So content wise, everything will look nicer to the end user. Lastly, I'm deleting old lower resolution lower quality textures and unused textures (trust me, in the end you won't miss them). This will reduce graphics memory load. So, sit tight. My project shouldn't last much longer.

Just trying to accommodate. If mercs are desired or necessary, then the Han have some to choose from. Dians, Yue, Xiongnu, and even Tocharians or Koreans are all possible additions.

Right, Ishtar, Baal, Tanit, all related through Mesopotamia and Phoenicia, imported to Carthage. Good finds.

These would be very excellent to have, as the Mauryas don't have many shield texture variations.

There are good references we can go off of, namely a relief on a Carthaginian sarcophagus found in North Africa. Potentially a priestess of Isis, but unconfirmed. https://www.worldhistory.org/Carthaginian_Religion/ A bust of Tanit from Ibiza:

I wish.
