The champion is strong and should remain that way, especially the cavalry. The real problem is how fast you can train this cavalry once you get p3. I mean, you don't see complaints from Han players abusing cavalry. If I'm in Athens, I'll hardly be able to create champion soldiers as fast as Gauls, because I need to build gyms. The real problem is in trainable champions in the barracks and stables, we need to put them in appropriate places, for that, we need new contraction models I think.

Cavs meat collection should be the same as that of other units (1.0). We could have a technology that increases it to 2.0 and also another that enables cavs to kill and carry animals, similar to aoe4.

Well, I have played and still play some other competitive rts, and I can say, 0 a.d is extremely slow for me, and I often get bored during matches, especially against opponents 1800 and below. The amount of actions I need to do in 0a.d compared to aom is ridiculous.

How about borg (2025 a.c)? - Usually destroys its enemies with ease.

It is currently: top 1 - Borg- / Valih top 2 - Vinme top 3 - Stockfish top 4 - FeldFeld top 5 - SaidRdz For me the surprise is SaidRdz, is really playing at a good level, the others are usually always the same within the top 5. There have been no new players at the last years, to enter the top 5, not even close.

I'm honestly fine with it, I don't think units die too quickly now, it seems to be in line with what 0a.d has always been. If units take longer to die, could we have bigger performance issues as well? Furthermore, lag has been a painful part of 0a.d for years, games already take much longer than they should, these changes would make it even worse.

I'll mention the ones I don't like. Han and Kush.

How do I do this?

This is where Borg- the annihilator makes his enemies cry

The fact that he is not Athenian does not mean that he cannot be trained with this civilization, since he has a very strong identity with the Athenians. I based my idea on Pericles' invitation to Hippocrates to save the city.

Both, it made no difference to me.

Well, I'm short on time now, but I'm still willing to help with the gameplay. I think I've always had good ideas and I can continue contributing to make the A28 even better. I'll take some time to put together some patches.

I don't know how the financial health is, but could some of the money raised be used for development? I know it's not much, but I think we could make some progress on that.

I also didn't notice any changes in performance, although I thought we would see a significant improvement in this alpha.
