It sounds true for a25. I've had problems garrisoning eles, maybe it was because of a corner. Can't judge on the Athenian dock or the MP issues, but units blocking a construction site and gatherers making terrible decisions on where to go are definitely majorly annoying in a25.

I always hated it. Just let the merchant do his business; instead when I scouted sth with my warship I had to send the commercial nutshell after it. Which is especially annoying when you have hostile ships & fortifications around. But I hated ships anyway and often wouldn't play naval maps because of that. Now ships are less stupid & annoying, but naval maps don't seem to come up with random random maps & default filter.

When a selected target didn't get hit I attributed it to spread. -
Windows 11 codename : Sun Valley

Hey @Lion.Kanzen, you couldn't fit in a phrase against socialism in your post?

Yeah, I also don't think it's necessary to thin out rosters.

So, I read around a bit. My impression is that Visha Kanyas absolutely were no battlefield units, so I think the name should be changed; in the thread @Yekaterinalinked @Pottersuggested the name 'Raksha Kanya' instead, which I guess would be fine. From the sources I looked at it seems like maur didn't regularly use female warriors and that the Maiden Guards were only on palace duty; but I guess if we're lucky and our historians keep quiet we can keep those bad*ss chicks.

For anyone especially interested in the 0AD/sexist thing: it starts at 10:42. IMHO not worth the watch. ('No, 0ad is not sexist, men are fighters & builders while women are not into tech and they're nursers & caretakers.')

Hello @eTrey, there's a thread for that: -

'Turret mechanic for ranged cavalry units' What does that mean? -
suggestions for Next Alphas (A26-30)
Gurken Khan replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in Gameplay Discussion
What? Declare all Delenda Estians terrorists? ;P Since I had massive stability problems with previous alphas I didn't feel like experimenting, I might check out mods like DE in a25. -
The Term Citizen-Soldier is Problematic
Gurken Khan replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
While you're at it, do the same for the quotes you don't condone; some of them make me go 'What?'. But seriously, I don't think that'd be necessary; and as mentioned before we technically already have slaves in the game. -

@wowgetoffyourcellphoneLet's hear it anyway, I'm all for radicalism! -
suggestions for Next Alphas (A26-30)
Gurken Khan replied to Lion.Kanzen's topic in Gameplay Discussion
I think it's possible to merge the replay files for one game, but I never did it. Suggestions: - reconsider the availability of Cretan merc archers only at dock/trireme (Athenians); I'd love to have archers, but there's not a single puddle on the map (like a lot of MP maps) - reconsider potentially useless team bonuses (ele bonus for non-ele civ, naval bonus on land maps...) -
The Term Citizen-Soldier is Problematic
Gurken Khan replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
I just wanted to mention that currently all our civs have slaves: as a stone gathering tech (along serfs and servants). I don't know how accurate that is. -

Gurken Khan replied to Thorfinn the Shallow Minded's topic in General Discussion
Small nitpick: healers are not, though I assume with their status they would usually be citizens. I agree that the terminology should be as correct as possible. -
Probably the easiest way would be to shorten the description by one or two sentences. I don't know by how many characters the languages we support usually differ from the English version.

The problem with defining profanity would persist. I consider myself to be pretty civilized, but I'm also able to use language that would make sailors and prostitutes blush. In fact my stupid pixel people are regularly the recipients of the worst insults I ever utter. I guess 'oh darn it' would be acceptable while the somewhat stronger 'oh da_n it' would not. (The forum's nanny-bot actually changes the m to an r, as I've found out...) So ~we would still have to draw lines, define what profanity is.

Remove the pop cap bonus for Mauryas and Persians. Maur are already op. Pers I guess halving it would be ok, too. What I'm sour about is how crappy the wonders are currently. If they'd get the +10 pop cap by itself back and make the 'Glorious Expansion' tech more reasonable, I'd be fine with those pop cap bonuses, because you could close the gap at least relatively. Until then, I stick with my first line.
