Whatsoever - this is a GREAT achievement! Thank you so much to all the contributors and developers!!!!! Certainly , no software is perfect and there will be always observations and issues. Doing your best to provide a consolidated release is a huge endeavour. We as players are extremely grateful!

I love your academic exchange!!!

Frankly, I actually do enjoy the quest two of you are into as your both try using arguments and evidence as far as possible instead of entering into personal attack mode (which is too often the case today). Your examples and references - although not conclusive for me - are providing new insights and background in any case. To me as a complete ignoramus in this subject (except for being a native German speaker), it is of course impossible to decide for clear right or clear wrong. Maybe it is not possible at all as Germanic tribes of that time might have been quite diverse? Should we try finding a more generic solution that could be good enoughfor players to grasp the spirit? Three words describing three phases (knowing that some tribes of that time did not (yet) develop cities as you wrote). Afer all this is a simplified game.

Sounds inteersting - we might also consider that - if you stop paying your mercs - they may turn hostile against you, join your adversary or at least revert to gaia "raiders"? The bribery mechanics could also be used to convert mercs to the other side. Not sure if this turns out to be too complex micro-managing for gameplay.

could this be a motivation to showing garrisonned troops on the upper deck? (symbolically- not true numbers)

Still, it is phantastic with all this atmosphere!

Sorry, I just have to express it: I am loving it!

Phantastic! Absolutely stunning!!!! My mild, but undue criticism, as - you know - I am a beancounter, few little details like : - the arrow might better be placed on bowstring and I also would have thought the arrow has to go along the gripping hand on the bow, not across it : - the face and helmet seem not to match the illumination, looks a bit like "photoshopped". The right hand looks strange, both hands larger than feet. -

Superb! The old ones were already great but this is even better!

@Duileoga unfortunately, I can only give you and the team only one like, but you would deserve many!

Absolutely! This appears to be a giant effort! Thank you @Duileogaand @Lopess and all the others for your ambition! (And still looking forward to seeing it - one day - in game )

Thanks @Duileoga! I am absolutely looking forward to seeing your new creations in game!

@Duileoga: This is beautiful! Awesome! Phantastic! Thank you so much! I am sure this will be a superb extension to the game. Maybe I am too impatient or too ignorant , but, one question occurs to me: How to present the different players' colors? (I am sure you have considered that and have the solution already.)

Happy and prosperous new year to all of you!

Thanks @hyperion! This is true for all civilizations, right? @Vantha@ShadowOfHassen Can this also be put into the tips&tricks section? In addition to that - maybe I haven't looked hard enough - but wouldn't it be generally useful having a table of contents or index for tips&tricks? If I am looking for something specific I have to skip through the already quite large list of tips (which I do like a lot and really appreciate, it but takes me quite some time to find things).
