It's armor, so we're going for more protection. Other considerations like flexibility and whatnot is getting too far into the weeds. And as a reminder, it's not supposed to be a historical progression through the timeline either. Several of these cultures are depicted compressed into a representation of about a century of time. Several decades in the least. So, for body armor, which is supposed to give a +1 hack resistance for each tech up the ladder, going from a bell cuirass to an exomis, which is the historical progression, is not intuitive to its effect. During Sparta's height, sure, most Spartiates wore the exomis instead of a cuirass or linothorax, but they had the technology and knowledge of those things and they were available and some of them wore the heavier items, so they make sense as techs.

This is fantastic! I'll add it. Well, I'm down foe making a more realistic 'progression', but you gotta remember that the 'progression' in the game should be from light -> medium -> heavy. That's a general trend throughout the game for many types of tech progressions. Like how it goes from baskets -> wheelbarrows -> large carts. I know this particular example is problematic too, but it's illustrative of the concept and its pitfalls. In your example, going from patina bronze cuirass -> different looking bronze cuirass -> different looking bronze cuirass -> iron thorax isn't an intuitive progression. Some Spartans certainly used the linothorax at some point, so it seems a better progression to go with: Quilted Linen Corselets -> Laminated Tube-and-Yoke Corselets (Linothorakes) -> Bronze Cuirasses (Chalkthorakes) or something like this. Or Linothorakes -> Scale-Reinforced Linothorakes -> Bronze Cuirasses. Not sure myself. Several directions which can be taken. -> ->

The About page and moving that info from the top ribbon to that page is now a must have for me. Good job on that. Let's make a PR for it! About the color overlays: I'd much rather just have a visible timer like any other RTS in existence. The color overlays are a neat idea, but not intuitive at all.

There are subscriptions which supposedly do this, but I'm loathe to sign up for yet more subscriptions.

The WFG team is in current discussions revolving around the inclusion of LLM content in the base game. The consensus seems to be swirling around these points: No LLM-generated Art or History articles in the base game. Must be written or created by a human. LLM-generated code is only okay if the one presenting the code understands the code. This is important for further improving the code and in being able to communicate with the other programmers. I support both contentions. However, for mods, I think the sky is the limit and we should be able to push the limits of what's possible. For the base game, let's push the limits of what's possible by volunteer human minds and hands. I think being looser with mods is a good trade off. So, yes, in Delenda Est you'll see these LLM-generated images.

What was the main temple on the Cadmean Citadel in Thebes? So, for the wonder, I'm thinking the "inner sanctuary" of the Cadmeia:

There is no deep plan yet. I'll need someone with a deeper understanding of the game's code to help me do this part, or, at least, make it possible in the base game's code for mods to add battalions of this type, even if public mod ("Empires Ascendant") doesn't use the feature.

How much variation reduction is necessary to support instancing?

@Thalatta The actor actually uses several variations, so that it can be all things at once.

Beautiful, bro! Always a pleasure when you're bringing us good work!

What's funny is that I have to approve my own posts. lol

A proposed upgrade for Han houses: The Tower House +5 population bonus +5 vision range +1 projectile (short ranged attack added)

Yep! "Slave Trade" is another one of their techs/team bonuses: Effect: Allied Slaves -50% train time as long as the Scythians maintain a Market.

Concept for a new Temple design? New Civic Center design?

I'm currently using Ossetian for specific names, but if you come up with something closer, let me know.
