Excellent idea to limit number, this way they keep champion status and do not have an overwhelming presence. Also excellent idea to train from the Prytaneion, so it is useful after techs are researched and heroes are trained. The Fortress is already useful later in the game. Since they are acquired to maintain order among citizens, why don't we limit their number to a percentage of citizens than a fixed value? This would be an interesting novelty. And, training from the Prytaneion is in line with their official role.

The main strength of Ancient (Classical) Athenian army was indeed hoplites; maybe not as good as Spartans', but that was their focus nonetheless. Epilektoi were elite and full-time hoplites. Since champions are elite (strongest) and full-time (cannot work), it makes perfect sense for Athenians to have hoplite champions called Epilektos. All great ideas to differentiate them from the other hoplite civilization Spartans. In fact, being superior sailors, Athenians would prefer less non-rowing crew and focus on manueverability for ramming. I think such a bonus makes sense when ship ramming is introduced. Nevertheless, Athenians did perform many amphibious assaults (Sicilian Expedition, campaigns against Persians), this sets them apart, and the idea of a landing unit sits well. My only concern would be: does it make sense for it to be a champion? Should Athenians have swordsmen on par with swordsmen specialists like Romans, Iberians etc. I will propose to make Scythian Archer not a champion from the Gymnasium, but rather a mercenary either from the barracks or simply replacing the current Cretan Archers for Athenians. My justification: should Athenians rely on elite archers the way archer specialists like Kushites do, or should they have foreign mercenary archers which complement their main hoplite army? I can't imagine these guys training in the Gymnasium side by side with Epilektoi .

Hello friends I am from Turkey, but currently living in Germany (01:00 GMT). I was born in Istanbul, so know the Marmara map by heart :D. I lived on the Aegean coast, what used to be ancient Ionia. I visited all the twelve Ionian city-states. My wife is from Iskenderun, ancient Alexandretta near the site of the Battle of Issus. I love learning about history (you get the idea :D), especially Ancient Greek history. And you can tell I love Greek mythology; my nickname is the name Odysseus uses to introduce himself to cyclops Polyphemus as a trick to avoid retribution from the other cyclopes after blinding him. I speak English and Turkish, and am learning German. I cannot speak Greek (yet :D), but I can read Greek letters and understand enough to order a nice dinner.

Hello friends Is it possible to add the option to copy a section of map A to map B including terrain and objects? I checked the history and copying of objects is already implemented in https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/96. And https://trac.wildfiregames.com/ticket/92 is raised for copying terrain, but not implemented yet. I also see that there is no possibility to keep 2 maps open simultaneously at the moment.
