I imagine in the years following a conquest there would be some sort of inflation as the old moneyed interests are liquidated. A period when that happens and before reconsolidation into the new economic power structure.

@ 500 A.C. on the left there's the source for that guy's helmet:

Amended: Historical accuracy is not a burden; it is an opportunity.

Edoras!

For who? I think there many depictions of the cardiophylax still in use by the Romans, but I am not sure about what primary sources there are. There's the famous triple-disk cardiophylax found in North Africa (?).

Not necessarily a problem, since the Punic Wars are how the Carthaginians and Romans are also depicted.

Indeed. Miletus Peninsula is essentially a much-updated and all-around better version of Acropolis Bay.

This guy went leather on what 0 A.D. uses for the champion helmet:

Perhaps a stream collab? Or interview? Or anything, lol, with Raptor? @mysticjim @ValihrAnt @psypherium

Lots of views on this one in only 1 day. Has no normal maps turned on. Uses ugly maps to play on.

Have you tried capturing anything with these new ranged infantry dudes?

Need to strip out all of the .DS_Store files. I think there are 2.

Yep, exactly what I meant.

It was a nice texture. The yellowish underpadding could have been player color and would have worked well.

I liked this unit texture.

I think I can make a patch for the shield "variant" files if you commit some new textures. If you make 1 to 1 replacements, then the existing actors can look better immediately.

I think the Iberian scutum shield patterns could definitely use an update.

The shield is a great improvement! Commit! The helmet is a step backward though.

I think Epirotes will be tough, unless we count Olympias, which is a stretch.
