So far, only 6 of the 50 U.S. states, Delaware, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island and Pennsylvania, have completely banned child marriage, and 4 of these 6 states are in Laws just changed in 2020 and 2021. Child marriage is legal in 44 other states.

Westerners also eat crocodiles. I used to watch TV shows where American hunters shot crocodiles and made them into croquettes to share with family and neighbors.

It may also be the helmets worn by the Assyrians or some other peoples. The Persians and the Medes were archers, and their habit of wearing breastplates without helmets now seems strange.

If we want the Persian faction to have more professional melee infantry, adding Assyrian infantry is a good choice.

Actually in my opinion one should do a dedicated Assyrian spearman and then have the sparabara as a switch form of the archer, and then like you said, an infantry that is more resistant to projectile weapons but is more vulnerable in melee combat .

Siege towers that can only attack buildings, and walls with very high fire resistance.

My suggestion is to make siege towers only attack buildings, then replace normal arrows with flaming arrows, and of course, set different fire resistances for all buildings.

In my impression, the spabara do not seem to be spearmen in the general impression, they are also archers themselves. According to Herodotus's account, the Persian infantrymen all carried wicker shields, bows and spears, that is to say, the Persian infantrymen were all archers with shields and spears, except that the archers in the first row did not shoot arrows during battle. It is to cover the comrades behind with shields and spears. If he is killed, the soldiers in the second row can also use their shields and spears to fill the vacancies in the first row. Of course, the army of the Persian Empire was not only of Persians, but also of many other ethnic groups. Those ethnic groups had specialized spearmen, such as the Assyrians. According to Herodotus, they were still armed as in the late Assyrian Empire. He wears a bronze helmet, linen armor, and holds an Egyptian-style shield, as well as a sword, spear, and mace.

Because in real history, the ministry building (Guanshu) and the civic center are one building. Or, if you are unwilling to give up any architectural models, then I suggest changing the current ministry building to the Imperial Palace (Weiyanggong) to represent the central government, and the civic center to the official hall (Guanshu) to represent the local government. The palace can train heroes and issue central decrees; the official hall can train local officials.

In reality, only men in the UK can practice archery to become archers. So if we really want to give Persian civilians a bow and arrow to strengthen it, then we can only make a male Persian civilian with a bow and arrow. If we introduce the design of male and female civilians, then we can only delete the Persian women's shape , leaving only one type of male civilian with more fighting power, like the "Coureur des Bois" in Age of Empires 3 France.

I agree, and I think there should be two halos with different maintenance efficiency for small fishing boats and large merchant ships and warships. I designed this in the "mirror" mod.

In this case, I don't think it is necessary to make a separate Scythian female warrior unit, just make the Scythian soldiers have both male and female appearances like male and female civilians.

Yes, women of other ethnic groups are not incapable of fighting, there is such a thing in the Han Dynasty, seven sisters in a family were armed with JI, shields, bows and swords after their father and brother were murdered by corrupt officials. With Gouxiang (a shield with iron tips and hooks), who ambushed and killed officials to avenge father and brother, the story has been celebrated and sung to this day as a classic case of blood relatives' revenge.

If resistance with any weapon is justified, or that's the problem, other peoples also hunt with javelins or boomerangs, so why not add these weapons to them for self-defense? Why not give them a chopping axe so they can chop down their enemies? In addition, when mentioning this kind of education in ancient times, the default is to refer to men, unless women are specifically mentioned, the Han Dynasty also recorded that Xiongnu people learned to ride horses and bows and arrows since childhood, but they only refer to men, and women of nomadic people may ride horses for herding. , but with the exception of the Scythians, they rarely fought with bows and arrows. And the Persians are not nomads. Their men practiced combat skills from a young age in order to serve the king in the military. Therefore, the king gave the Persians tax-free, and the Persians who were recruited into the army were also men, so women did not need to learn these. Skills that have nothing to do with economic production.

Yes, there is no need to construct an anti-reality stereotype in order to design a "national trait" for the Persians in the game.

Daggers are a special case, because daggers were tools that people would carry with them when they went out, whether it was for self-defense or for cutting food. This has not changed in the Middle Ages, just like people in modern times will carry their mobile phones with them when they go out. And even if they didn't carry a dagger, they would pick up roadside branches and use them as clubs, or pick up stones from the ground and throw them at the enemy.

But the reality of the Han Dynasty is like this. If you feel that it is breaking the balance, then don't make this faction at all. Moreover, the variety of soldiers destroys the balance, and the game makes the advantages of swordsmen and sword cavalry too obvious, and I think they should be made less important.

Even if you join the male and female civilians, I do not recommend letting civilians use bows and arrows to fight soldiers, because bows and arrows are just hunting tools for civilians, not weapons, otherwise why don't they use logging axes, pickaxes, and hoes to fight?

In reality, the crossbow cavalry is weaker than the archer cavalry, so there is no need to do it. I don't know why some people are obsessed with this unit. It is necessary to know that the Han Dynasty is played in the game, not the Qin Dynasty.

Chariots use bows and arrows. High-strength crossbows cannot be used on horses or chariots, so the Chinese feel they are inferior to bows and arrows.

You have to realize that the Chinese do not like to use crossbows on horses or chariots, because it is very inefficient. Although chariots and cavalry were equipped with crossbows in the Qin Dynasty, that was because the Qin army recruited many to expand the size of the army. Caused by people who are not good at riding and archery. The Han Dynasty controlled the army within a certain size and preferred to use a small number of elite soldiers.

Elite crossbowmen use high-strength crossbows, called "蹶张Juezhang" in ancient times, so champion crossbowmen should keep it. Xiongnu's advantage lies in their cavalry archers, their infantry archers are not as good as the Han Dynasty, and the Xiongnu soldiers who surrendered to the Han army in reality only have cavalry.

No, they converted to Buddhism, which is somewhat similar to Manichaeism, and were finally driven by the Mongolians who believed in Islam to Gansu, China, which is now the Yugur. The Uyghurs that China now defines are not really Uyghurs, but the settled indigenous people of the older oasis, who cannot leave their homeland like the nomadic Uyghurs, so they can only be conquered and believe in Islam.

I don't recommend deleting archers and spearmen, because JI is not equal to pike, and it is often not used with shields, but I am in favor of putting crossbowmen in P1, Han should have crossbowmen and spearmen to combine in P1, and archers should shoot Faster and placed in P2, JI should have stronger attack but weaker protection against projectile weapons. Abolish the crossbow cavalry, although there are such units in reality, it is rare, because the use of crossbows on horses is considered to be poor equestrian and not good at using bows and arrows. The cavalry should be sword cavalry for P1, spear cavalry and archer cavalry for P2. Champion I don't know why the chariot should be cancelled. It should be a spearman, a crossbowman, a spear cavalry, and a chariot.

The conversion of the Khazars to Judaism is similar to the conversion of the Uighurs to Manichaeism.
