Still don't get it? The German hero portraits are like the usual actor units in idle but zoomed-in; notice the gear are apparent in Teutobod and Boiroix's cases. To spare checking the Gitea .pngs I made a Wiki article on the civilization with headers. Before replacing them with artificial intelligence @wowgetoffyourcellphone used to do this with some the lesser-known Greek factions. These for Aristedes and Militiades, as examples. Stick to the 500-1 BC timeframe and try not to drag those after... Also, avoid double-posting; there is an "Edit" button at the three dots on top-left corner of the post.

Did not want to name names that time, but since Alpha 24 most of the hero portraits were updated thanks to volunteers such as @m7600 (no longer with us, but mention remains at the thread below) and @kul. The rest are just putting the new sky-blue background. No offense, but the current German counterparts are like going back to antiquity with modern sugarcoating. Point proven; little information to add. What have you been contributing to the Han civilization lately? Appreciate the extra hands towards that "completion"... Don't take it seriously; unlike this time, there weren't things like Gendered Citizens and messy code back then that compromised the release of Alpha 26. Few more years and everyone wouldn't mind another faction added; this is a blatant departure in the name of balance. Honest opinion, Germanic needs not to divide into separate Cimbris and Teutons; early Suebi elements could be integrated. Iberians are another story. I must protest that the current Roman civilization situation is worse. Don't even want to know where to start, the insertion of auxiliaries after promoting elite Roman and Social cavalry?

Sorry, meant no disrespect there, just so much concern; this is unlike the process with the Han civilization, which took at least double that time after about a decade in the making. A case of bad timing or coming late to the party, so I see... my share has been accounted for. My disagreement stems from that I forgot to add "Hero"; someone might notice the departure from the norm, as with the Han counterparts, Cleopatra, or those since Alpha 24. Still awaiting a volunteer for Candragupta... Anyway, the game breaks if setting at least one player with the German civilization: 0 A.D. 2025-11-18 09-48-54.mp4 Has anybody also noticed that the select sounds like Ti estis, Quid ests, and Salaams as well as for buildings etc. lost the pitch differences?

What a total disappointment; German civilization comes out unfinished, unpolished for this release. Don't start with the portraits... the city phases haven't yet been decided upon.

Also @Vantha the "Germanic tribes" sandbox has a little problem:

Atlas crashes after clicking on Player tab.

Created a new work-in-progress Civ entry on the Wiki. Better update the portraits ASAP? Especially the heroes... who was that doing the Han heroes and Cleopatra?

Round 2 is out: pull request Any answers to questions on the above replies still pending.

"Ti esti?" (What is it?) Female citizen spawn-out.

Could add in my Yahoo! and Skype details, but doubt if any of ye here would do due communication with yours truly through either?

Haven't been editing my Profile in a while, but now there's a red asterisk beside the Lobby Name parameter: Never been in the multiplayer lobby, though. Just wanted to expand the About Me and that above stops me from updating my profile; can't leave blank. Any ideas? Could put either "N/A" or "Carltonus", but it would put the Lobby Name label on my forum posts.

I do have, and it is most direct of translations: "Chosen Hoplites". Though, the gear (actor) is in the Iphicratean fashion... might as well make a separate Champion hoplite to let players decide on either the speedy or the bulky. The latter is what I suggested as logades on a thread from long ago.

For the faction to be in a future Release, match the art-style of official factions? brush-work, that is. They do appear similar to certain Rise of the East factions...

Would assume to be in parallel to the Athenian faction with their Prythaneon and Gymnasion, respectively. Between alpha somewhere and 27 the Gerousia had been but an Atlas-only structure. Since 24 the stoa units were overlooked, gameplay and art-wise. My suggestions to both Skiritai and Iphicratean champion skirmishers fell on deaf ears. Helot archers and slingers are wonderful additions to the main game, if not Cretans for the former.

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