Why do the Persians have two Champion Cavalry Archers?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Vantha's topic in General Discussion
Latest version of the game includes differentiation for cataphracts and chariots, but I agree it does not go far enough. We need trample component and secondary attacks. -
Maybe, but I wanted to make realistic first, then turn them into an illustration.

Civ: Yamatai Japanese (aka "Yayoi people")
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to wowgetoffyourcellphone's topic in Delenda Est
There are some synthetic voices in DE already. Carthaginians, Han, and (something else, I forget, lol). They are not perfect. The Carthage voices sound synthetic and not natural, for example. There is a thread on this forum about it. -

The article I posted makes the same point though. Using an idealized view of Sparta for political or philosophical reasons.

It's because it's talking about the modern idealization of Sparta

I think the point of the articles is that mythology omits large portions of Spartan culture and history and is probably not something we should emulate in modern times.

Non-random BuildingAI
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to real_tabasco_sauce's topic in Gameplay Discussion
Y'all act like this hasn't been solved in like 100 other games, the most applicable being AOE2, which has non-random fire and does not "break" the game. -
Non-random BuildingAI
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to real_tabasco_sauce's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I would like this, actually. Random arrows by default, overridden by the player to target a desired enemy unit until it is dead or out of range, then it's back to random until it's retargeted by the player. -

The "random arrows with no control" just feels like a gimped or bugged feature rather than something desirable. -

0 A.D's Built-in Encyclopedia
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in General Discussion
It was a literal translation, yeah. We can call it "Taixue", since that is an actual institution. It's not a military academy, but it's an opportunity to teach something about the Han. -
Coming in Alpha 27: Marian Legions. I took some Principe chainmail textures and added cingula and a little extra mail on the shoulders. You'll notice some Ptolemaic and Seleucid-inspired helmets mixed in a little, too. This is to show perhaps some war booty collected from these foes and does show up in a few references.
