This is very welcome, but Tlthe main emphasis should be civ differentiation.

Will you add the balloons as well?

Battalions can be useful if it helps to create features such as directional attack bonuses and formation bonuses.

I think Starcraft 2 had something similar where you could set workers to auto-repair.

I wish we had these before the discussion reg battalions so it can be decided based on how they work...

So true. I see no incentive to utilize them.

I heard this guy made it to WWI:

I love such civilian buildings. They truly enhance the experience.

Are these units dual-wielding? Are there animations for dual-wielding?

I heard upper case [C] captures faster. And don't forget to say: Wololo!

This did not happen much with armies moving in formation like the phalanx, but in the game it does happen . Completely agree. I think this should be the goal

They don't require territory roots after they are built right? You can still only build in own territory?

I have no problem reg shooting over units. When i say melee, i dont mean in game jargon like any hand to hand combat. I mean when the hand to hand combat matures, there is no more clear battle lines, and units from the different sides are disorganized. We should definitely not forbid, but make it costly and a tactical decision: is it critical enough for me to destroy the target quickly so that i accept losses due to friendly fire.

The historical reason for missiles not dominating is friendly-fire. One should not be able or willing to fire missile in a melee due to fear of hitting own units. Missiles should be for skirmishing and harassing.

I have the impression many players and frequent users of the forum are from the Age of Forum... (or the Age of Fora? Which in retrospect sounds like an Ensemble Studios title)
