Suggest changing the Ballista's GenericName to "Stone Thrower" as in some previous Alpha(s)?

They have been accounted for on my names project: syssiton and gerousia.

This could be a temporary work-around, set your army in-formation to Standground stance and command them to move towards enemy 1929427167_0A.D.2025-01-3104-24-38.mp4 :

With the release of the final-named "Alpha" 27, just spotted an oversight regarding the Gerousia and Syssition tooltips. The TL:DR is that the latter no longer trains Heroes per previous Alphas with the revitalization of the former. Part of a new round of changing GenericNames and SpecificNames, among others; the current progress on Gitea: Personal naming branch to be added a separate Pull Request. Edit: Can the final Greek alpha be rendered in SpecficName as "-ā" (per Wiktionary) or no need? It has been done for the Spartan villagephase, and will affect a lot of Hellenic entities if be done.

0 A.D. 2025-01-30 08-01-45.mp4 The very hard Petra AI on both sides didn't bother to capture the nearby fire altars ("Shrines", not temples), the "rotary mills", or the trading posts. Also, the siege engines seem to have torn down the stone fences enclosing the farms. Thoughts and potential fixes? commands.txtmetadata.json

Current progress on Gitea: Pull request Still waiting for the "diacritics inconsistencies" examples requiring the fix... you mean like this "Redundant acute accenting it seems, even in Doric Greek"?

Am curious, were you playing from a previous Alpha or read the "siege engines trained in Fortress" somewhere?

Able to replace some Unicode characters with typical ASCII counterparts on the Main wiki page. Also made a proof-concept entry for the Han civilization, it just needs some additions based on the Trac counterparts. On a side note, @wowgetoffyourcellphone: what are the Chinese characters used in the term "Wu Wei Yin", and any basis for the Sun Wu Trouble Freeing Forces?

Am ready to help on this "Gitea" fork, how do I at least begin? Don't want to lose my Trac data since I have contributed much on the wiki and added a handful of tickets...

Has the Seleucid cavalry javelineer portrait been updated to not have the duplicate Achaemenid Persian counterpart? Also the Dahae horse-archer to distinguish with said counterpart now called "Parthian".

Just to let you know that the current actor used for the Champion "spearman" is in the Iphicratean manner (gear and all), not a mere typical "elite" force in the literature you provided.

As Nibbles said twice in Tom & Jerry, "C'est la guerre!"; well, c'est la vie to all of us... Am grateful for your service to the free world; 0 A.D. will never be the same again after this passing of torches.

They're all in the Norse faction in the Millennium A.D. mod.

It has reasonable changes for the next alpha, but will the reformed Spartan Pikemen be of good use in the future? A further suggestion could be a forked technology for city phase: one for traditional and other reform; the latter will have the pikemen, walls, and three new heroes of the late era, among others. Another distinction for the Spartans!
