I'm not so convinced - Why do spearmen do now more damage against rams? Not good for the Seleus that now every civ can make rams in siege workshops - Seleus don't have bolts or crossbows

What has teleportation to do with promotion?

Don't worry, promoting units like that seems to be just a cheat, not a normal feature. In multiplayer matches, cheats are disabled by default. Btw this thread is a bit confusing

Thanks for the mod. Is it intended that green apple trees are not touched?

Why the Seleucids in S-tier? Why the Celtics in D-tier? They are still the Celtics ; )

Ok it works. Maybe it just didn't work in a specific situation. Or it didn't work because I modified one hotkey: I've set AltGr as alternative Hotkey for the single Alt, and this has been somehow interpreted as Alt+Ctrl (Windows issue?). The reason for this was that I could not select "fighters only" by holding AltGr anymore. However, when I removed AltGr again, the garrison-deselect-combo worked again : )

Dont think that it has anything to do with the new setting. The problem is: If you release shift now a nanosecond before releasing the number, then it will immediately trigger the number command, which is chosing the selection. In A23 you had more time to release the number which was helpful. Can someone confirm and fix? Another annoyance: Garrisoning plus deselecting via alt+ctrl+rightclick does not work anymore at all.

- If you have multiple buildings selected, it can happen that it's not possible anymore to give them a build-ralleypoint, for example if one of the buildings is a siege workshop (which cannot produce builders) - Adding Units/Buildings to control groups by shift seems to be buggy now, often it doesn't work

Elephant Archers are no real citizens, they are rather champions. And in A24 they are also a spam unit, this brings the following new unit type into the game: Spampions!

Of course it's good that one can configure hotkeys now, but this will look very confusing and hard to understand to newbies. In A23 we had descriptions for all the hotkeys, that has gone. Plus, the new surface is not translated. My suggestion: Bring the description back and implement the autociv-mod, which delivers one additional surface for changing hotkeys. That the mods autociv and fgod don't work anymore is an unpleasant regression. All mods which are feature mods without changing the game too much could be implemented.

Pikemen are a subclass of spearmen. All civs have spearmen, Macedons only champions though. Civs with pikemen: Ptol, Seleu, Kush, Macedons. Citizen Pikemen deal half a point hack damage per second, so they are terrible against rams. (In A24 they have 100% hack bonus) Citizen spearmen deal 3 hack damage per second, which is not too bad against rams.

"Ben Kenobi???" "These are not the druids you are looking for..."

So Agis simply got forgotten. I understand. I suggest to give him his extra lifepoints back before releasing, otherwise it will look a bit dumb. Have extra costs of elephant and cav heros been taken into consideration when reducing their lifepoints to 1000?

Let's see. Why have the lifepoints of the spartan hero Agis been reduced by 50%? The extra points have been his only bonus! Wouldn't Agis be super pointless then, because Leonidas is clearly much better without any disadvantage? All in all there are too many changes of the game imho. A good civ balance cannot be easily achieved if the game gets turned into another game like now.

I'm sorry to say it, but the German translation contains a lot of mistakes. For example skirmishers are falsely translated as spearmen.

Anybody else who wants to join this Punic War?

The first hero of the Romans is the "Sword of Rome". The second one the "Shield of Rome". So the third one should be called the "Club of Rome"! (Scipio Africanus, 20% attack bonus)

When I traveled to Athens, I saw a lot of the mist ogles! Okay, I'm out...

+++ Carthaginian catastrophe: Italic embassy collapsed! +++

Boudica yesterday in the Lobby to me: "Hi, long time no CC!" Not only a way to say hello, but also a subtle way to roast me, reminding me of the matches where he destroyed my Civic Center, which I had to rebuild then...

The Persian immortals are very mean: Before killing someone, they insult him with "Anus, see ya!"
