I'm confused by Greek houses...
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Hemachandra's topic in Gameplay Discussion
We can eventually have bigger or more luxurious versions of houses for the civs, but as far as gameplay goes having 2 different houses isn't very cool or interesting unless it's something special like the Carth houses. I can envision having Insulae for a hypothetical Roman Empire civ in the future. -
Art needed: remaining nomadic structures

We can call this an "Altar" instead of an Ovoo. Here is some relevant information: Quoted here is a passage from Herodotus regarding Ares and the sword cult: Also: -
===[COMMITTED]=== Achaemenid Siege
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to LordGood's topic in Completed Art Tasks
Well, yeah, I also believe that a nerf to their infantry could come with it. Even with their max population bonus, I don't get the feeling of giant armies from the Persians, Mauryas, and Han, so that's another thing we could look at. -

wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to LordGood's topic in Completed Art Tasks
Well, they have no swordsmen or slingers. -

Also, Persians did have access to catapults. The inhabitants of the Persian city of Tyre famously used many types of catapults and bolt shooters against the attacking Macedonians. Their defense was so dogged, they angered Alexander so much that when he finally took the city he had all of its citizens enslaved or killed. -
Parthians (or Arsacids) and Sasanians
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Mega Mania's topic in General Discussion
Sasanians I think can have a full roster of siege and armored War Elephants. Siege, I'm thinking of Dura Europos and how the Sasanians took that city. Parthians I think maybe just Battering Ram and no elephants. -

I very much appreciate the enthusiasm. Are there other areas that you think need improving? -

It's because you have to fit the idea into little 3x3 blocks -

Thank you. I was going to answer the question, but I forgot. -

0 A.D's Built-in Encyclopedia
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in General Discussion
Yeah, it was rare for cavalry to be used as shock troops until the Macedonians raised the Companion Cavalry units and altered their tactics. Persians had the Bactrian cataphracts and some other melee cavalry units, but almost always used skirmishing tactics instead with javelins and bows. As far as Greek cavalry, yeah, you don't see them going into shock combat until after the rise of Macedon. A Greek cavalryman in the Classical period was used to harass and skirmish, maybe driving off the enemy skirmishers in the process to prevent them from disrupting the main phalanx body of infantry. -

This is wrong. Athenian cavalry were almost always used for skirmishing, scouting, and chasing down routing enemy troops. Athenian cavalry was never used a shock troops in pitched battle. -
THREE HOURS, lol. Very nice.

Wonder: Royal Kurgan tumulus. A large earthen mount with eye candy around it (see how the mound is ringed by standing stones/stelae; we can add additional culture by using the enigmatic Scythian "stelae" found throughout the steppe). Can have various "stages" of construction: We like the Mongolian stable from AOE4 as an inspiration: -

Right, the Garamantes files can be deleted from that repo -
"Elephantine" map - How do you get across the Nile?
wowgetoffyourcellphone replied to krt0143's topic in General Discussion
Might need a new height map for each map size. Kind of makes sense -
This is a bug from the alpha you are running, I believe (it's been a while). Fixed for the latest alpha coming in the future. As for the other stuff being "missing" and whatnot, they may be mockups. And if I remember correctly, Atlas has been re-programmed a couple times in its history. Similar to how the civs keep getting revamped or tweaked, so the civ profiles are now somewhat outdated. Keep in mind, this is a huge project with only 10 people currently active, most of those being gameplay balancing people. 1 graphics programmer currently active. A couple of very very key personnel on hiatus/extended vacation. A few people submitting some good patches on Phab, but all part-timers/hobbyists. And while I enjoy writing, I'm assisting in committing gameplay patches, got my own huge mod (Delenda Est), my own non-0 A.D. related writing projects, a full-time job at a factory, fostering kittens/cats, girlfriend, my laptop recently took a shite and no money to replace it (I'm typing this on my GF's laptop, which is not ideal for development and gaming, but it'll work for now). Now, take my situation and apply it to everyone else too (with their own challenges). You seem passionate. Maybe apply some of that passion to helping us!

Another idea would be for the editor to dynamically create a biome tab with all the terrains used on the map
