    This discussion is pretty interesting. it is noted that romans typically wore their sword on the right side seemingly regardless of what hand you are fighting with. However it's also noted that centurions wore it on the left side, of which the image i quoted is about.

    Small nitpick, but i think the sheaths are on the wrong side of the hip. They were generally worn on the opposite side of the dominant hand.

    I'm gonna be honest, i don't play my own mod (only tests). There are a couple of reasons for it. 1. Bots are no challenge 2. I made this mod for others, not for myself. 3. I'm using it as a learning experience. I haven't experienced a teamgame with players with the mod either, so it's hard to judge. You also can't really isolate and judge the ammo mechanic from the rest that's new in the mod though. e.g. Ranged have much more damage because they now have ammo, and they are generally lightweight so can manoeuvre fast but die easily. And they also have secondary weapons in case they run out of ammo. I think it's best to leave ammo as an optional thing because i think there is a great divide with people that are against it and in favor for it. It could be fun though if it was a game option you could check, but imo you at least would need to buff their damage and give them secondary weapons too to actually pay off that they have ammo.

    It could be but I think doing it via a button or formation might be better, otherwise you'd need to make a workaround for melee units if you do it via stances.

    Nice work on the wiki to everyone who contributed, very helpful ^^

    I personally like the way it is tbh. Capturing can be- and often is- done faster then just bashing your melee weapon against a building. Which means you need to have a little more awareness and have some troops ready to garrison your important buildings. But the capture and instant delete mechanic is pretty awful. There at least needs to be a timer before the user can delete the building after capturing e.g. 1 minute.

    Alternatively, there could be made a button to reverse the targetting behavior when enabled. When the button is enabled, they target units furthest first, when it's disabled they target closest first.

    3.1.6 update Added statistics for ammo and energy when multiple units are selected. Contributed by @beryll1um on github. Updated original post download links (and once approved on mod.io).
  9. Grapjas
    Yeah in templates > special > player.xml

    It's a feature, you shall not quit.

    Just because you have an option to play with cavalry doesn't mean that it should always be viable. RTS is simply about adapting to the game you are in at that moment with the tools you've been given. Which is why pizza maps (or other weird settings) can be fun, because it shows when someone relies on a strict strategy across the game.

    3.1.5 update Minor unit fixes and fixed xerxes_chariot even though it's not used at all anywhere in the game afaik. @Unkind98 Sorry for the long wait, the issue was more annoying than anticipated and didn't have much time. Updated original post download links (and once approved on mod.io).

    Hi @AlphaEpsilon290 and welcome, My tips would be to try break pattern in terrain textures, take about e.g. 3 main terrain elements and add to it with a small brush where needed. Play around and note the difference between left click terrain painting, and right click terrain painting. It's also nice to not only break terrain textures, but the terrain itself too by adding some height differences like holes, bumps, mountains, hills (and by texturing those accordingly) etc. Wildlife and nature can do some wonders to the atmosphere and setting aswell. If you want this map to be played without the unlimited resources setting, it's standard to have the following resources near the civic centre: About 10 chicken and 5 bushes for food, some straggler tree's nearby for early wood without needing a store house, and a big metal and stone mine about a farms reach away from the civic centre. Ofcourse you don't neccesarily have to follow this standard, but it can give you an idea. Good luck and have fun

    @Unkind98 thanks once again for reporting an issue. Chariots aren't supposed to have a melee attack (yet), which is why it errors. I did it by mistake and will be fixed soon. I appreciate it. (github was actually updated just didnt make a release for it yet)

    3.1.4 Update Fixed brit hero Cunobelin which in turn made brit fortress unusable as reported by @Unkind98. Updated original post download links (and once approved on mod.io).
  16. Grapjas
    Thanks for reporting, i'll look into it.
  17. Grapjas
    I kind of like the idea. More logical would be to do this for archers i think as they generally came in larger numbers than skirmishers. But gameplay wise i think doing it for skirmishers is better.
  18. Grapjas
    Best one so far imo.
  19. Grapjas
    Sounds like a feature! You shall not leave... /s
  20. Grapjas
    @Gurken Khan @Lopess you can change the content view behavior in the account settings, might have what you want.
  21. Grapjas
    @bb_ the interesting part is this: But i guess you still answered it with this:
  22. Grapjas
    I suppose you could make this a mod for personal use if you want to / are able to.
  23. Grapjas
    I think it might be linked to this. The first part of that thread anyway.
  24. Grapjas
    That's ok. No hard feelings or disrespect meant or anything.

    Individually micro'ing units pays off more than it doesn't and makes your army fight more effective than the enemy who doesn't or who uses all that time to walk close to your army and then to press H. And i'm not saying it's viable in all circumstances. You assume to much. Anyway, at this point there are alot more things to consider that's not even related to what we are discussing here like army composition, how cooperative pathfinder is for the player that doesn't micro, player skills etc. In that new context the point remains the same, it will get easier the better you get at the game. It's just something to get used to for a short moment and then it comes naturally. And when it does it's much less micro then before.
