I wonder if I should change the Stoa aura to one that increases building loyalty instead of health, since capturing is so important in EA.

Indeed, and if there were fewer resources parked right up next to the starting CC, it would behoove the player to scout out the nearby resources.

Thank you @Stan` for help fixing the problem. THEBANS ARE NOW ON MOD.IO AWAITING APPROVAL https://0ad.mod.io/theban-greeks

My original idea with 'Cultures' is that each 'Culture' came with a set of features or bonuses, and that a civ could be a "member" of more than one culture. So, Seleucids could be of the "Greek" culture (Theatron structure and "Hellenization" aura, plus a set of armor techs in the Forge and spearman bonuses) and the "Persian" or "Eastern" culture (a trading bonus and cavalry bonuses). It would show that cultures can and do meld. Carthage would have a "North African" culture (North African War Elephants) and a "Semitic" culture (Mercenary and Naval bonuses), each culture bestowing a set of techs, auras, buildings, or bonuses. A civ with only one culture would then be allowed 1 or more unique bonuses to that civ.

I'd think then it would be better to load up a list with check boxes so you can check (or uncheck if checked is the default) which biomes you want.

Yeah, this one really annoys me. ^ @Angen @Freagarach What do you guys think? Relatively easy fix?

How about we improve the biome instead, bruh?

The problem with that one is that it is designed for HD+ resolutions. At least Gomez's design fits our ridiculously small 1024 min resolution. @Sebastián Gómez I tweaked it a bit:

The good thing about starting with a mod first is that mods are insanely easy for people to try out and test your work. A mod directory is pretty easy to set up too. Just a thought. I really like your initial concepts.

Yes, but this is a video game where such delineations can be useful.

I WANT THE GAME TO GO BACK TO ALPHA 7, WHEN MEN WERE MEN AND WOMEN WERE MEN

I meant it was introduced in Age of Mythology, and then abandoned by the Age franchise.

Remove the Wheelbarrow and Handcart upgrades for Mauryas?

Are you looking to add organized "battalion"-style combat?

Indeed. My preference would be to boost the other civs, not nerf Mauryas. That said, it's possible to nerf the Worker Elephant slightly without overdoing it. I think requiring a Storehouse first or other such thing wouldn't automatically "cripple" the ele. Simply removing the free one at start might be enough.

Perhaps train them at the Storehouse, so the player is forced to build a Storehouse first. EDIT: Also, 1. Maybe reduce Worker Elephant health, so they can be sniped earlier 2. Maybe increase train time, so that they take longer to replace 3. Maybe take away 1 or more of the carry capacity techs. 4. Or maybe increase pop cost of Worker Elephants.

I think adding the Han would kind of bring 0 A.D. to a larger audience. I think they'd be a big hit.

Honestly I just don't like the feature. If anything, it's something else you have to manage to prevent your eco from drying up at crucial moments.

I don't mind having auto-queue, but keep in mind that it was introduced once, and then abandoned for almost 20 years now for some reason. Could make it a game setup option.
