Indeed, the statue is just a placeholder. Someone may be modeling a better, more period appropriate statue for us.

My skepticism was with the texture pattern, which looks Thracian to me. Not that they wore cloaks at all. Of course, almost every culture has a form of cloak.

What is the point of archaeology if most of your findings are published in an obscure journal only a hundred people will read and then it's all buried "for the future"? So, you find something unique about a wall in Pompeii (it has some kind of interesting material embedded or something), but reinforcing it "for tourists" allows this to be seen by thousands or tens of thousands. You note the peculiarities of the wall in that obscure archaeological journal, where that information would have sat on microfiche for decades anyway, and you reinforce the wall so that the space can be experienced by living breathing human beings.

I've never understood why an archaeological site should "never" be fully excavated. What's the point? Hopes that future technology can be less invasive or what? That's really the only real good reason to me.

looks fine

Yep! The feature would be useful even without anything else.

This is nice. Is there a way I can rebase my main branch off of 0ad/0ad?

This model was problematic (the crenellations are taller than a man; scale is off) and didn't have animated doors, unfortunately.

I would like to try to use these. Do you have the latest files?

Considering it needs player-input, I think you need some time for at least a little maneuvering.

Most civs don't have fire ships, so what's the natural counter to ramming ships? I put thought into this too.

I have never encountered that in a million years. I have encountered foundations stuck at 99.999% or 100% or whatever, but not be complete

I think the general consensus was that is was shite, historically. I have not seen it.

I tend to agree. Much simpler to just make hack = melee weapons.

For base game, I'll change their helmets to Coolus helmets and their body textures to Germanic tunics or something. They can keep the same shields and spears.

Auxiliary Spearmen work too. Pedites Auxiliaris
