What are 3 dmg ??
They get 10% more attack...but it might depend on installed mods. -
I think some infoscreens while loading are outdated. For example the iberian fireship is only effective against ship, not against harbours, as ist was. But strongest Infantrie unit is true with the agape technology, which can be explored in the military cantine. Then they go to 250 health, with a penality in training time. Silver Shild only yield 220 health.
The spartanian hoplite with +10 health bonus is also pretty strong for citizen melee units. With rank they upgrade from 111 over 138 to 172. They also get stronger from 3,0/ 2,5 hack/pierce damage to 4,3/3,6. Their resistance increase from 5/5/15 to 7/7/15 (hack/pierce/crush). No forge upgrade. So they get really cavaly killers. With the hoplite tradition they are much more likely to reach a rank in gameplay compared to other melee.
Albeit the potolomies pikeman, when ever they get rank promoted with 157 health and the Ptolomy IV Champion bonus +40% health, they end up with 219 health having pretty good resistance, they become tough to fight in the champion aura.
What I do miss on the spartaniens is chamion cavalery, or a replacement. The Siritaki can gather, but like all promoted units their effectiveness goes down. Wood chopping rate of 0,37 for example is little more than half of woman wood chopping. So best they are used for building/repair.
When I started with 0.ad Version 0.24 spartans had two special buildings. The stoa and the royal stoa. When you look into the scenario "Laconia" you can still see them because player 1 is starting with each one of them. Albeit.... they are both called "stoa", and not much of use now (okey you can garnison any unit in the royal stoa, this is good when under attack, and they are pretty).
They were able to train Thracian Black Cloaks ( see Macedon), as soon as you get into phase two. I really liked that feature of the spartanians. The black Cloaks saved my ass serveral times when I was fighting computer AI on alpha 0.24.
Generally it seems to me units were more different those days. From my remembering their walking speed was like the naked fanatics of the gauls. Nowadays they are like all other chamion melee, except for fanatics.

I am using english user interface to be "compatible" to forum etc. But it is not my native language.

Oh, so I did not get that detail in foreign language.

When playing ptolemies I build a libary which supposes to reduce building cost and time for 15%.
But when I built a wonder thereafter, It cost me 1000 metal as usual and my resource counter was lowered that numer. Should be 850, with 15% discount. Other buildings the same, and building a house with 1 worker is the same 30sec built counter starting with 29 sec left as without a libary.
It seems to me this is an error, because I do not notice an effect
It is Aplha XXVI Zhuganzi where I noticed this.

Thanks to Stan for his leadership. For his gentle style to moderate and his way to give motivation even for small contributions.

Thing is, the reason you can't train Julius Caesar is precisely because of the time restriction. JC was born 100 years after the final Punic War and the Romans in the game are depicted in the Punic Wars era.
I was not aware of that. The name of the game is 0AD, which refers to a later period. So It would be not far to seek for a second roman Series which is picted to a later period.
Some day I was examine the "sandbox-Themes" of several cultures, and realize some of them have more designs for heros than you can select in alpha 0.27. Maybe there can be found a way to make them accessible within the 3 hero limit.

Even older ubuntu, could really be a SDL bug
Hmmmm....https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simple_DirectMedia_Layer
If it is used in other applications ... sometimes I noticed bad behavior in other programs too. Not all the time.. This is why I thought I need a new mouse.

You can also play with a bigger dragdelta in user.cfg. default is 4
Now I tried this. dragdelta was set to "2" (dont ask me why). Now that I changed to "4" game is much smoother. Albeit I have to try it in a big battle. At in built up an some skirmish it feels much better.
Maybe I need to try new Debian. Hope my graphic card is supported now. But system update always need more timeand preparations, don't want to do this in a rush.

There is an annoyance when you garnison units into a building which is full when you command them to go into the building. They
rungo to the building -response is looking fine- and on arrival they stand there waiting for better times. They do this even when you have made the building empty. you need to give them another command to go in. Would be nice if there is another check to go in, when they arrive at the building. When a empty building has gotten full at arrival, a second check works, so this should be possible.Just lost a group of promoted archers due to this, albeit I thought they were secured while my attention was needed otherwise...

This is a bug. And the autociv mod could give you some hotkeys for selecting some additional unit types. Maybe then you could handle control groups even better...
I use autociv, this really enhances game altough currently I do not use all features, I noticed no difference at install of autociv. Did not bother because I adressed the problem to my old mouse.

Thanks for the report. Can you give us more information about your system(s)? OS Name + userreport_hwdetect.txt?
It is Ubuntu 20.04. I use the proprietary nvidia driver because this was the only one supporting 1650 super at install.
See https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/GameDataPaths
Do you have 2k 4k, or widescreen monitors?
I was playing at 1980x1200 and now at 1600x900 because this is a TN Display the other not. Not much difference
Where was my test gone??.. oh it is in the quotation.
I use Ubuntu 20.10. Generic nvidia driver, because this was only on supporting 1650super on install. My desktop environment is mate. I feel no difference in windowed or full screen mode, excpbt some Hotkeys which are used in mate.

I noticed same but it happens only on game start in online multiplayer game. And it sometimes never selects units so I have to restart. In game it's fine.
I do observe this anytime. Altough it is not always that bothering when in combat.

When I want to select an entity I often do need to do this twice or three times, until I get the control panel. I see the entity is highlighted but I get no response to my try to select it. 0ad is a time critical game, especially horses often get lost, because I can not select them in time to draw them back. I play in 0.1x turtle speed and do a lot of micro managing especially in small battle situations, and this unnecessary losses are annoying.
I thought this was due to my trusty PS2 mouse which served me well in non gaming tasks several years. So I bought a "gaming mouse" (GEM SPG 147) but it is the same. Or is my hardware unsuitable? I do have an Intel 9600k which is mostly running around 4.4 GHz and a nvidia 1650 Super on medium graphic displays.

This replay the javelineer take out did not work. I had to go into a pullback.
I had some more issues with the 0AD user interface. To get town phase soon enough did not work as inteded because screen refresh was not fast enough and time was over when would have to do a "recklick" 0AD is awfully lugging to user interaction. At least on my intel 9600k@ 4.4 Mhz.
Also the destruction of my barrack was not intended. I wanted to enable autoque....
(The game crashed later, so only commands.txt. At least here I can do the replay anyway)

I guess this is my fastest victory in minute 5.
The strategy to take out the enemy javelineer group worked out well, despite the good result I am still unhappy, because of the uneccecary losses in Minuit 3. I thought using formation close order brings distance fighter to the back. But it did not work out well enough. as usual they ran into enemy too fast.
-
This is a game where I just tried a start which came out mediocore, but I played to the end and finished with a rather short built up phase.
Instead of waiting for an attack of enemy I was attacking as soon as my army was regeneratetd, which led to a victory in minute 13.
-
This time, I tried to just walk home to fight with help of infrastructure. A win in the end, but a build up phase was necessary.

This is how I do it. It is a time consuming iterative process. From my observation I'd say fisher boat and merchantman need a tad less water depth than warship. But this is observation from real maps. Not a precise examination with test layout. I am not IT enough to examine the code.

This is a replay where I lost only 5 entities in the battle against the Macedonian until a victory in min 5.
In 0ad alpha 25 it was possible to outdistance the group of 10 javlineers of the Macedonians which went to work. Making the battle much easier. In Alpha 0.26 this is not possible any more. So I was surprised over the overall outcome of this match, as good as my best fights with alpha 0.25. I must admit this was only possible with the help of the autociv-mod. And sure it was only possible in turtle speed, to have enough influence on the game evolvement.
This is a graph of this fight:

Yes I know about this tools. They show ship area. but it is not precise in the question which ship type can pass on shallow water and which not.

True but the UI should then show very clearly which ship can go where and which cannot.
It's very frustrating to build a trireme in a port on a river and discovering that it can't go to the open sea because there's a shallow pass in-between.
It is the same for land based entities, when a map becomes mountainous. It is sometimes hard to guess which path is cross able and which not is sometimes surprising.
For ships I have reworked some maps for better ship passage. When the seafloor is flattened enough in atlas, and the stream wide enough, there is a small band of water depth where all ship and all other entities can pass.
It would be helpful, to have better aid in Atlas editor to design waterways the way you want. At the moment it is a litte try and revise process. It is the same with building land.
When atlas could precise indicate how a design works, this would be helpful. There are tools, in atlas but they do not indicate the details.
These are the maps where I improved ship opportunities, because of this reason of "trapped" ships:

Oh well I was stuck by translation, carthaginians are already in the game available.
