Yes, I did, that's usually the first thing I do. I just realised the champion archers are chariots, a text about chariots will fit for them. Also, for one of the basic cavalry units I thought I could write about the War Over The Heavenly Horses. It's the story of how they got powerful horses for their cavalry units. Do you think that's too unrelated to the unit (e.g. cavalry spearman) itself?

Quick question: what historical unit is the 'Wu Wei Yin Cao Cao Guard'? Is it the 'tiger and leopard cavalry' by Cao Cao? And what about the other champion units? The spearmen are obviously the palace guards. But the champion archer cavalry and the champion crossbowman? Are they anything more specific than just a professional elite unit? Btw, as I already said, the mock-ups look phenomenal, I think the beige and white colour scheme fits very well.

You mean (for example) Pericles would go all-in on turtling, build walls and avoid fights (on land)?

That looks very cool! I like it a lot! Is it be possible to have some units do their animation (like a GIF) there? That would help paint a clearer picture for the reader, for example how a certain catapult works. And let me know if you need any help with testing or designing! I have a bit of experience in UI design myself.

Another interesting text: Han cavalry and infantry swordsman https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/93 Question just out of curiosity: Why is the infantry swordsman (who I believe is currently not in the game) called infantry_swordsman_special? What's the special part?

3 new articles: Han pikeman: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/92 Han catapult: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/90 Han spearman: https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/91

Then it would at least accurately resemble the original. Edit: (Because the real Tesserakonteres was so big that maneuverung was almost impossible and it therefore was completely useless in battle)

I would prefer the Tesseraconteres being a ship rather than a tech. But of course, there isn't even a unique 3d model for it. (A big new Tesseraconteres model, maybe as a catamaran, would be so cool, though)

Han Trader (even though we already created a mixin for traders, Zhang Qian's story fits very well and it's worth writing an extra text about him) https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/84/files

Han market https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/83

The units trained from the army camp are rank 2/advanced which means they have better fighting stats but are slower in resource collection. They don't stack because, even though they are the same unit, because of the different rank, they have a different set of stats. I got confused by this in the past too.

I completely rewrote the Han Healer text, since it was not focused on what the encyclopedia should be and didn't fit. I commited directly into the old Han Healer branch and pull request. https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/81/ As you can see, I wrote about Zhang Zhongjin, because for the Greek healer I wrote about Hippocrates, and Zhang Zhongjin seemed the most logical parallel to me, even though didn't live in the time frame of the Han Empire that the civilisation in 0ad represents. And I will write the soldiers, siege engines, and maybe the market next.

Han temple https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/82/files

Han Healer https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/81 I am just now noticing that this text might not be related to the Han enough, if you think I should change something, let me know.

Han ministers https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/80 I will write the temple and healer next and then probably start with the soldiers.

First text for the Han. The Civic Center! https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/78 Quite honestly, I had a lot of struggle with this text, it took me way too long to write it, maybe because it is the first article of a new civilisation, I don't know. I think I will write the ministers next, since I have already done a lot of research about them. Also, is the civ in the game more oriented towards the Western/First or the Eastern/Second Han Empire?

I totally agree, narrative campaigns, especially if connected to an actually useful tutorial, would be awesome. If someone starts working on it, count me in, contact me. Im down to helping as I can.

Okay, I corrected it. I know about that rule, we've adopted it from 0ad's official style guide into our encyclopedia style guide. My question is: Is this rule uniformly followed all throughout the game? For example, shouldn't the Skiritai be actually called Sciritae?

Athenian walls https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/77/ With this thext weve completely finished Athens! As @ShadowOfHassen has announced, we decided to take the Han next.

Ive revised the articles of the Spartan heroes. They were the very first texts I've written, and I've corrected some minor factual inaccuracies that I found and text parts that I was not happy with. Ive been wanting to do this for a long time, these texts are the last ones the I had and have planned to revise, now I can fully focus on writing new texts. https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/76

Themistocles This time I made sure to talk about both of the bonuses he has in the game, that's why the text got so long. https://github.com/TheShadowOfHassen/0-ad-history-encyclopedia-mod/pull/75 What about Xenophon? There are game files for him as a hero, but he is not implemented in the game. Should I write a text about him?

Okay thanks, I'll add the paragraph to the article. That was formulated misleadingly, the walls were built under the rule of Pericles, but the idea was proposed first by Themistocles, I think.

Oops Yeah... 'multiple centuries' sounds a bit too long. Fixed
