I installed Alpha 28 on my computer and it launched, but then no action was recognized; even just clicking on "OK" in the intro menu had no result. I tried both through the Snap and through the Backports of Debian Trixie, both had same results.

Are you implying that berry bushes regenerate ? Since when ?

AFAIK that's how they behave in the wild. And I agree that foxes should not attack unprovoked.

I played Rus on a26 and the Hunting Lodge wasn't available to build, so I didn't have a way to research Rogatina and get Hunters... Same for the other military unit, it required Embassies but there was no way to build those. Also, the Rus don't have a Wonder ? Is that on purpose ?

Not sure about armour (arrows can be designed specifically to work against chainmail, but afaik not against plate) but shields are good against pierce - which is another way to make units differents.

Why has this been removed ?

What is the point of having two units with the same stats ?

And how do you do that ?

These two posts from Devereaux illustrate well how the game should make missile work, imho. https://bsky.app/profile/bretdevereaux.bsky.social/post/3mfipjgvmuk24 https://bsky.app/profile/bretdevereaux.bsky.social/post/3mfhpqnp2ac2i

Maurya is too unbalanced, but the rest is interesting indeed.

Even for one civilization, I really don't understand the difference between most units... I get the difference between melee and missile of course, between cavalry and infantry, between spearmen (good again cavalry) and swordsmen (good again siege units), but that's basically all...

WTF ?

That is actually very tedious. It should halt, not stop (that is, restart as soon as one of these cows are slaughtered).

But what would be the UI/UX of it ? It's quite visible in land fights when troops are trying to capture a building, how do you want to do it in naval warfare ? Where the garrison isn't visible on the map ?

Well, capturing a fortress was a major strategic objective in many ancient situations...
