Because we have to come up with something for pierce armor techs, and shield details are a natural fit. Also, not all techs are "technological advancement," but can also be looked as "Equip" or "Buy." But if we have better names for things, we can change them, so we're open to suggestions and I can eventually make a Pull Request.

What's cool about ChatGPT is that it lists sources for its answers: I know some peoples' cognition has been undermined by overreliance on LLMs, but I'm learning so much:

I've done that with the hack armor techs in the Forge for the Han just now. I won't do it for every tech, but where the differences make sense I will. For instance, the "Wooden Shields" tech icon seems pretty applicable to every civ.

Respectively:

Some special technologies I'm thinking of adding for the Scythians: Advanced Metallurgy Forges -20% build time. Forge Technologies -20% research time. Unlocks "Goldsmithing." Goldsmithing A trading bonus, but researched at the Forge. Felt Textiles Production Civilians and Buildings +20% health. Gorytos Bow-and-Quiver System Cavalry Archers +20% attack rate. Steppe Saddles Cavalry +10% speed. Scythian Bow Ranged Units +10% projectile range.

We need a toggle so everyone's score can be seen in-game like in AOE games.

I think surely all special techs and hero techs will be unique, while standard technologies will stay common. For instance, I just committed a big change to the Ministry with an all-new tech tree and all-new tech icons, while the common Forge tech icons remain the same as other civs. A nice improvement for techs and their icons would be to allow a _civ or {civ} element in the icon line of tech files: https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/issues/8734 This would allow for techs to look unique in the UI, but underneath still be common among civs.

We need ideas for Han Xin and Wu Han. Global Aura, a Ranged Aura, a Special Technology, and an Upgrade (usually to a mount, but sometimes some other kind of upgrade, such as Empress Dowager for Empress Lu).

It honestly sounds like you either had Terra Magna installed or Delenda Est. Delenda Est can be found in release 28's mod download section at least.

Yeah, we haven't made any moves in that direction this cycle. Maybe next cycle.

What do y'all think of adding Empress Lu Zhi for a hero? She was a very strong ruler, brutal even. And then, how she'd look in her Empress Dowager form:

Why does this keep showing up in my feed?

100! I totally forgot about that! Wall Tower replacement is a crucial item. Let's fix up walls to be really nice abd feature-complete, then let's design countermeasures for them.

Not crucial to the features of a Siege Tower, but I think their model needs updated. Perhaps 2 or 3 different Siege Tower models, or the player starts with the generic wooden tower, but with the 'Armor Plating' tech their actor updates to an armored Siege Tower which has a civ-specific look (same goes for Battering Rams for that matter).
