Mercenaries then ? none of the factions have yet a mercernary unit

Well there you got, you have some to choose.

This was the armor done, and also another one. Here can be used the kite shield

i'll make the changes later, in any case it would need only to change the front side of the trebuchet and add ropes and make only 1 animation and use it 3 times.

I already have a cataphract armor but of cloth mentioned before in 2 references, tell me if needed for commit.

Caro Walls, ill finish gate tomorrow. in case of wondering the tree mod factions have very different walls:

Saxons attacks caro convoy: Could be good give them whagon as trader instead of the same donkey guy of the other civs https://arrecaballo.es/edad-media/el-imperio-carolingio/guerras-de-carlomagno-contra-los-sajones-o-guerras-sajonas/

Another possibly house variant?

Made a big cape but as the armature wasn't done for this type of capes it clips sometimes or goes through the body, this kind of cape will need their own armature but it will need to be done several walking and idle animations for every unit type.

it may look weird if batallion isn't working yet on 0 AD, other way could be adding an aura to the bishop but affecting only the noblemen and viceversa leaving the base template of the actors as they were useless alone but stronger together.

Well is done @wackyserious it will need icons.

The text didn't speak about torsion but is possibly it may be like picture below. Now that you mention traction it does say that it was a traction catapult but honestly i don't know the difference yet until now, but also speaks about ropes so if maybe isn't counterweighted but pulled by ropes like the ones seen in the drawing but since mod will cover from 500 to 1000 and then 1000 to 1000+ it won't hurt have both. and this is what the autor imagined how it worked (other text)

in page 10 or 9 IIRC theres a text who speaks about a lever "catapult" using cilinder wood, two arms and sling as a stolen technology from chinese for trowing rocks but is also seen in two referencial paintings and none of the 3 references has any relation since 1 is in spanish good information page, 2nd is at Age of Charlemagne Osprey book wich was used for both norse and anglo factions and 3rd is another book "Charlemagne's Early Campaigns (768-777): A Diplomatic and Military Analysis".

It could help if someone start thinking in balancing between high range and strong attack, fast projectile but also very slow reload time whitout being overpowered: Population usage 4, high wood cost, high metal cost and some stone.

Yes the striped one. Trebuchet is almost done just need to sync animations

@wackyserious you could try make a texture for the lance of the cavalry like that one? doesnt matter if its 256 or 128 or if its included in the structure texture it may give more distinction to cavalry champion.

The circle shape indeed looks good but i belive circle shape formation isn't accepted yet by the formation component as mentione when making the rome legion for the orbis.

Thanks, changed all to root prop point since dust prop point isn't really needed:

Trebuchet, the text i quoted last night talks about a trebuchet but also the paintngs.

(WIP) Weight will be filled with some rocks as props

Could be La Chapelle the wonder and la salle du trone the palace (they have a palace but i don't know yet where it was proposed and wich purpose will have).

Addon for generating rigid body collision for death animations or that kind of stuff (Isn't free but for those who can afford it it really saves a lot of time): https://www.blendernation.com/2018/04/18/ragdoll-tools/

indeed a trebuchet as seen in both references. I make something soon like the paintings.

This describe a trebuchet as shown in the two paintings but also used by the byzantines as a stolen technology from the chinese https://books.google.co.ve/books?id=6Zt0BAAAQBAJ&pg=PA114&lpg=PA114&dq=carolingian+catapult&source=bl&ots=ze0Pba47vE&sig=IdpxGM9-meSc_7WQF2eLQrLWIc8&hl=es-419&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj827Sl4c_aAhUD7VMKHRmFBDwQ6AEIMzAF#v=onepage&q&f=true
