    The Greek name used in-game is (again) a bit misleading and inaccurate. Seleucid military colonies were actually called “Katoikiai” and the settlers “Katoikoi”.

    Here are two good articles I found on the matter:

    https://www.academia.edu/13665364/katoikoi - requires registering an account I think. So here is the pdf:

    Thanks, I'll check them out.

    Similar to what the Ptolemies tried to do, the Selecids also invited Greek colonists to settle in their lands in the East. The colonists would then be beholden to the Seleucid for military service in exchange for gifts of land.

    I might rip off most of that paragraph for the article, because that seems like an excellent thing to write about.

    Wow, you've been busy. You went from not knowing where to start on GUI development in January to an integrated GUI in April. I'm guessing that you got some help along the way. ;)

    It's great to see an encyclopedia being implemented in 0ad. It helps make the game educational instead of merely for entertainment.

    Yeah, @Vanthais pretty amazing. Even with the ui work he’s still writing articles.

     

    For me though the articles are not just educational but also entertainment . Learning is fun.

    I just restricted PoppaSmurf, I don't know how it appears to you. I can't contact users but I do have access to their email addresses (pretty much like in Trac).

    It is actually a good thing in my opinion that Gitea doesn't have a PM system. I would be unhappy so see communication even more split between platforms.

    I think an email is good enough to contact someone. We just need to be certain that mods email offending people using a wildfire game account.

    The ban makes me un able to see any repository that I hadn't' created, so that's something.  See if you can un restrict Poppa Smurf, and then I'd suggest attempting to remove repositories and/or users.

    2 factor authentication (github)

    It is somewhat of a pain, but I can also see why they did it. I use the GitHub mobile app for 2FA it works pretty well.

     

    I take it that because you’re trying to get into GitHub you have something to contribute to the encyclopedia?

    @ShadowOfHassen As in real life I'm all for blindly following the government in everything! And as they were a Macedonian dynasty... ;)

    But seriously, all their buildings are Hellenic; I doubt every house in Egypt was remodeled/rebuilt to look Greek at that time, still we go with it. I'm not particularly against an Egyptian temple but I'm fine with just keeping the Greek suite.

    That's a fair point, except, changing up the temple might be useful. There are like four other civs that use the same model.
