    What, you don't want to only do imperials vs imperials game? :-D

    Well I figured out the issue. As a temp workaround you can probably add just the civ requirement in the pair tech (which is close to what nescio suggested above).

    Right, the files are okay, but if I'm playing as another civ and I capture an IMP civic center, then I get that reqs iterative error. It's very very strange and I'm stumped.

    Any ideas?

    Does it happens in the version in your github repo?

    edit: ok I checked the repo is up to date.

    edit: Unrelated but I think you can remove the genericName entry in the pair tech.

    edit: I will test it on Fork AD

    edit: @wowgetoffyourcellphone I got it, your files are ok, you won't get the error if you play with imp.

    I don't think the Stoa units should be champions to be honest. They should just be merc citizen-soldiers. I actually wish they were removed and the stoa used for something else other than just a barracks.

    I kinda agree things should be make clear for those 2-3 stoas units.

    That's perhaps not a good a ref but I really like the book of Duncan Head "Armies of the Macedonian and Punic Wars 359 BC to 146 BC". It appears to me like a design doc for rts in ancient times.

    This is a thread for the visual rework of the current thureophoroi champion mercenary for the some of the Greek factions.

    - Will you change also ptolemaic mercenaries thureophoroi javelinist?

    - There was not really clear explanation about the thureophoroi, should it be a "champion", a "mercenary" and so on.

    This kind of feature would be useful for male/female variations of units, such as Villagers/Citizens and/or Male and female variants of Scythian units. 

    You want them different from simulation point of view, not only from art point of view, right?

    I see that they use classes to block which unit can capture a certain entity.
    Is this correct or is posible to make somenting like this? 

    Sure you can use restrictedClasses to tweak it.

    You can see how it works in the Delenda Est mod in action.

    Ok
    How i add a the capture component, or other components? 

    For the capturer (lines 4-9):

    https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est/blob/master/simulation/templates/template_unit_infantry.xml

    For the capturable (lines 11-15):

    https://github.com/JustusAvramenko/delenda_est/blob/master/simulation/templates/template_unit_support_citizen_female.xml

    But that's just using the current system which is more design for buildings.

    Yes I'm working on a submob for Hyrule Conquest; adding a couple of extra factions but struggling for certain mechanics we have in mind. And thanks for the conversion ^^ I will look into that !

    EDIT : If I understand you can set some units to be capturable but not give the ability to convert to specific units ? (like the priest in AoE)

    Nice !

    If you want to use the current system (currently used for buildings and some siege engine):

    Give an Attack/Capture to the capturers and the Capturable component to the other units.

    But it would be perhaps only a temporary solution.

    If you want a proper conversion ability would you prefer something passive or active?

    (While I am at it, is there a way to convert ennemy units ? (think wololo)) 

    In alpha23b there is:

    - wololo cheat code

    - you can give Capturable component to that unit

    Else that's not really hard to do (depending of your needs). Here is an old example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BHJs81pwtts

    Hi again ! Here to ask more questions !

    I would like to create a unit that can spawn with either a spear, a sword or a mace, which mean different damage types and different actors (though I suppose it would be possible to create a single actor for all three). Is there a way to do this at the moment ? I didn't succeed in using variant in a template but it might just be stupidity. I thought of creating 4 templates (1 base and 1 for each version) and have a random version be picked when the unit if trained. But I have no idea how to do such a thing either.
    
    (While I am at it, is there a way to convert ennemy units ? (think wololo)) 

    Do you need that for a mod you are working on?

     Ranged units could add arrows, but not contribute much to the loyalty, and melee units would only provide a substantial boost to loyalty

    One of the two points is just template editing. The only annoying point is the micro needed to put the right units in the right place (I guess currently people use the military selection filter)

    Is it possible to make capture attack as an area of effect and auto-attack? (More like an aura that drains loyalty points)

    This way units will not bother to switch attacks or capture enemy buildings but focus on combat.

    That's already doable with an aura.
