don't know why you'd say that. Compared to last year, the model has improved and also apparently acquired some understandment of the game, but still the strict majority of the recommendations given in that answer are trash.

so maybe there were about two olympic champions in the spartan army who served as elite soldiers, while hippeis were an established elite contingent. name should be changed already.

if someone needs it, I have a dateaset of some (many, can't recall now) thousands of results from rated 1v1. I'd also add to the problems with integrating the old rating system that it's a particular custom version of elo, which makes very little sense to me and, while similar to elo in the results, it's very different in implementation, so I wouldn't know how to touch it.

rated team games.

some time ago, there was consensus that major reasons for lag - especially during big fights - were javascript attack/die routines and c++ proximity search. In particular, I remember the latter was a very simple function and a relatively low hanging optimization opportunity.

there are multiple accounts of attackers throwing at targets behind city walls (usually incendiary projectiles)

red sea is a good map, I've played it a lot in A23-25

just change captured buildings behavior. I swear, the biggest obstacle I can see to 0ad progression is bogus features that won't ever get corrected because some random dev likes them in spite of all reason.

shooting wall joints were canceled because they didn't have any positioning restriction and this made it possible to cram a lot of firepower in a small space. this is what I remember.

I'm not sure how to read the results...

Gastraphetes also had very long draw length, don't get confused with medioeval crossbows that evolved into a shorter draw length. I don't think they were considered an "elite weapon", nor that they were used by soldiers of particularly elevated social status. They were produced as a mean of defending city walls and kept by the city guard, or produced before sieges by campaign engineers. I don't think they were usually sold. There are not a lot of sources or archaeological evidences though.

they were siege weapons

very good video and channel. I love a feminine take at experimental archeology.

corrals are slower than farms to set up

did you drop the "blood meter"?
