Already in-game.

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.

Right. Just use the player.xml class to restrict normally. Use the additional entry in the unit xml to restrict for whole match (if you want to. If you don't, then you don't need that line)

Right. My guess given the information provided.

It's possible to me that the group was multi-ethnic, but wore Phrygian-Scythian caps for easy identification.

Elexis is a ghost among us. Gone, but here.

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

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 Similar to how the civs keep getting revamped or tweaked, so the civ profiles are now somewhat outdated.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!

Did you try it? Did it work? You have to be in paint mode

shift click the texture

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

Intriguing. If that's the case, then I'd support the name change. Can you post the refs?

Indeed, techs that effect other things like reach (range), acceleration (maybe a ship rowing tech), Counters (maybe steel arrows for a bonus vs. Elephants), or unlock things like extra ranks or make promotions easier to attain ("tradition" techs) are far more interesting.

I was thinking of creating a "Civ Variant" in 0 A.D. for the Macedonians based on Alexander's anabasis. Maybe do the same for the Roman army too.

Technically a bug, but caused by an oversight. Are you willing to create a Trac ticket for it? https://trac.wildfiregames.com/newticket

2000 food, 1000 metal then. @alre^

I think the easiest thing to do would be to make formations unlockable with a special tech. For example, if you had a Hellenistic Reforms tech for the Spartans, it could simultaneously unlock Spartan pike units and unlock the Syntagma formation. This is the strongest problem with "formation bonuses" because the game still doesn't have hard formations (yet?). As you indicate, once the formation stops moving the soldiers go off and do their own thing. They are technically still in the same formation, but they path apart. The best way to simulate a formation bonus is to look at what Delenda Est does for Hoplites and Pikemen. It gives a small aura to these units which effects units around them: { "type": "range", "radius": 2.5, "affects": ["Hoplite"], "affectedPlayers": ["Player", "Ally"], "modifications": [ {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Hack", "add": 2}, {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Pierce", "add": 2}, {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Crush", "add": 2} ], "auraName": "Shield Wall", "auraDescription": "Hoplite-style infantry give other Hoplite-style infantry +2 hack, +2 pierce, and +2 crush resistance within range of each other. This does not stack or multiply.", "overlayIcon": "art/textures/ui/session/auras/standground.png", "stackable": false } { "type": "range", "radius": 3, "affects": ["Infantry Pike"], "affectedPlayers": ["Player", "Ally"], "modifications": [ {"value": "Attack/Melee/Damage/Hack", "multiply": 1.05}, {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Hack", "add": 1}, {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Pierce", "add": 1}, {"value": "Resistance/Entity/Damage/Crush", "add": 1} ], "auraName": "Massed Pikes", "auraDescription": "Player and allied Pike Infantry boost each others' attack by +5% within 3 meters. This effect 'stacks', so that the more Pike Infantry fighting together en mass, the more effective this becomes (+10%, +15%, +20% etc.). Resistance also increased +1 for all types.", "overlayIcon": "art/textures/ui/session/auras/attack_bonus.png", "stackable": true } Because the range of these auras is so small, it usually requires the Phalanx or Syntagma formations respectively in order for the auras to apply.

Yeah, I noticed. I chose that one because the faces and hair were distinct from the others

Why so aggressive bruh

Custom unit? Champion?

All civs: "Siege Rations": A late-game City Phase boost to unit health. All units +10% health. Cost: 2000 food. Building: Farmstead.
