Should we go ahead and make this change/correction to the templates (and I assume AI, maps, and civ.jsons)? Would be a pain in the butt (though not very difficult), but might be worth it to maintain consistency?

We need mountain objects.

Nearly finished with Nuba Mountains. In the tweaking phase now!

In your POV what are the pros and cons of this approach? I don't think balancing changes are like adding new code or features. It's basically just tweaking stats or enabling things already in the game. Perhaps balance changes could be given fewer restrictions.

Why so much fear in experimenting? Make a change and if it doesn't have the desired effect then revert that change or change it some more. I swear the team didn't used to be so tepid when it came to this stuff. Who cares if some people howl at the changes? Listen to those who make constructive suggestions and ignore those who don't. Battering Rams have been OP for 3 years, Bolt Shooters have been UP for years. Siege Towers are just weird. People spam Slingers, when really melee infantry is what they should spam (ranged units should support the melee infantry and cavalry should be for raiding or targeted strikes). Perhaps it's because there hasn't been someone designated to decide these things?

Yeah, shields, stacked weapons, crates, barrels, cooking fires, etc.

Exactly!

Thank you. Ironically, I am wanting to add player color to a few of the textures.

Yes.

Errything I personally do for DE is the standard 0 A.D. licence.

Nice! Everything looks nice and authentic. I acquiesced on the player color because I realized a lot of the Persian textures already had a lot of player color. I like your textures, you do an incredible job. I even used some of your new textures for DE's Kardakes. Request. Can you re-commit them has RGB color instead of indexed color? lol I can't import them to Photoshop with SuperPNG for some reason. lol Request 2: Maybe look into the Persian Female Citizen textures. They could use updating, improving, and variation.

@borg- please link me to your mod.

I desaturated the Ptolemy buildings in Delenda Est and nothing was sacrificed.

I have some of his models. He's making progress.

How's it coming?

Bro, you should keep going with this. The game is looking so nice now. Also, keep experimenting and expanding on your cliff objects. Maybe wider/taller/shaped cliff objects with some nice AO mapping (and match the current cliff textures).

mmmm nah. lol

I've been using these texture in DE for a long time already. lol I gave the "quilted linen" textures to other units, while keeping the scale textures for them. I also have 2 versions of the Anusiya. First, they start out robed in their palace garb, then you can upgrade their armor to "Campaign Panoply" to get them as you see there. Here are my bebe bois: (One more mention of how badass they'd look in a battalion with a standard bearer dude on their right position of honor.)

Sometimes they go into "run mode" and move at run speeds, other times the run animation plays randomly with no corresponding movement rate increase. Here is a replay of the latter, where I send a cavman to scout the southern part of the map at around 3:20 and he randomly goes in and out of run animation for the next couple of minutes. commands.txt metadata.json

@wackyserious I do like the textures though. Let's see them in game.

Not that I'm not complaining, but sometimes some of my units get stuck in run mode and move very fast when tasked to do various tasks. Not sure if this is related to the new running code changes.

Can I have this POG for my new Palmyra map?

What do you mean? Another shot:
