Yes, try Delenda Est.

Another mercenary suggestion would be to replace their "Han" cavalry archer with a Xiongnu Horse Archer.

Thanks for the bug report @Purgator_! https://trac.wildfiregames.com/changeset/26345

I would actually like to introduce a 'cataphract' mixin for the game's templates.

I think the Han in this alpha could show what kind of love could be given to the other civs subsequently.

The Dian Warrior could be a mercenary swordsman and replace their citizen-soldier swordsman, while making the Yue Warrior a javelineer.

80% of Carthage's roster is not of Punic blood.

1. The Han have both Pikemen and Champion Cavalry Spearmen. You can 100% train both of these units playing the latest iteration of the mod. And when I say latest, I mean for the past several weeks/couple months. 2. The Han Academy has a similar function to the Athenian Gymnasium and the Spartan Syssition, but has twice as many champion options than either of those buildings do. While the building isn't free, you don't have to research the champion unlocking techs like most other civs do. I mean, this building just rocks. 3. Javelins and Mercenaries: I actually do propose a couple of mercenaries for them, one of them being a javelineer. The Dian Warrior, from the Dian Kingdom of Southwest China A Mercenary Javelineer available from the Practice Range in Phase II Switches to Sword in close combat once the game has that feature The Yue Warrior, from the tribes inhabiting Southern China and seashores of Southeast Asia A Mercenary Spearman available from the Barracks in Phase II

It's okay, I made new ones myself.

They don't have to match those. The maurya one can be a Chakra wheel or a lotus flower, as examples.

They are in my local repo and working now. I need someone or someones to make custom flags for the Mauryas and Kushites, as those are the ones that are not license compatible. maur_infantry_1.psd kush_infantry_1.psd Once those 2 are remade, I can commit the whole thing.

You can assign a standard carrier unit, but he will stand right in the middle of the formation and overlap any "real" unit that's there. I will update the banner to look nicer soon. I've just been caught up with other stuff as you can see in Trac. This could be a simple and easy diversion.

Github really is easy to use.

Crossbows are trash units in DE, because although crossbows are more technological than bows, they were equipped on masses of quickly trained peasants.

There is a spear cav champion. Did you actually play the mod?

Yes, but the banner is only the vanilla "waypoint" flag for now. I'll see if I can commit some banners more like my screenshots.

It's the spiral of death. They'll keep following the trail of pheromones until they die. Nvm, that's ants.

That's all fine and good to not use hard counters/attack bonuses, but now you have to find a combination of attack and resistance values for a dozen different unit types to make some kind of good counter system.

han_china mod only works for Alpha 26, as it's being developed for Alpha 26. Millennium AD should work with Alpha 25 tho.

Yes, like the Brotherhood Without Banners from Game of Thrones.

The problem is even though borg launched an initiative, he was given no actual power (or didn't take it). There needs to be 1 person who says, okay, we've reached a decent consensus on this or that issue and then decide to lock it in with a specific value, then move on to the next thing. Once all issues are "locked in," a patch is created and put onto Phab. The patch is tested for bugs and holistic balance. Tweaks are agreed upon. Patch updated and tested again. Then when final approval is reached, committed by someone on the team who isn't afraid to commit balance patches.

AFAIK, "feature freeze" doesn't mean balance. If anything it seems like that's when balancing would be easiest, when all the features are frozen.
