I just thought of documenting all these stuff, I don't even have pictures (I'll add them later) 1. Trump Wall As athens you can get a nice research in the sanate that gives you the ability to place walls in neutral territory. this way you can basically partition the entire map in two piece. with Themoclydes or whatever that hero's name is,he gives half construction time and 30% less cost so it's even better. do note that this works very well against annoying cav mfs. also a point to note is to not start to build walls directly from neutral territory. start building them from your territory otherwise the walls you build will fall to gaia. this way you have a literal wall which can act as a root for making storehouses in random places,or making entire forts and stables and barracks and basically a new frkn base without a cc. do note that this costs a shitton of stone and a fair amount of manpower for both gathering and building. so in most cases it's best not to do this,but it's very fun 2. BAKE SOME CITY GUARDS ingredients: Athen civ, Barrack, Hoplite Tradition research, Athenian Hoplites process: P2 Hoplite tradition then bake your Hoplites in the oven (barracks) for about 3 minutes. and voila! you will have fresh champions for barely half the cost! and even before p3! ready to invade with the rest of your army!! it's actually a very strong strat so you can actually do this one quite a lot of times and situations 3. Hippo smash (by now you might have guessed what my fav civ is and who's really the biggest worshipper of Athena) in phase 2,you can invade with peltast mercs, Hippocrates,and a primary citizen spear army with Hoplite tradition. make sure to get the hoplite tradition, and in the forge get the pierce resistance as well as ranged attack damage buffs this strategy focus on constantly bombarding your enemy. the hippo is a very underrated hero,you can spam healers with that hero and your army can be nigh immortal,filled with rank 3 and city guards in little time if the enemy doesn't pay attention. works best against noobs who don't know how to counter. pictures and more troll strats coming soon!!

@Emaczwhat's the speed of 'em horses in your mod? I think vanilla should match it albeit maybe just a tiny bit faster than your mod otherwise it will be too big a change

yeah, I agree I think that's a better idea than increasing the cost, as @LeJardindEpicure explained... it's already quite unrealistic for cav to be so so much faster than infantry

20. (very controversial hence I don't add it to the main list) increase cost of all cavalry by +25 food idea of pand what do y'all think?

19. Liu Bang, (first Emperor of Han China) radius of cavalry damage bonus increase to 60m

who should I ask for to make pull requests for these stuffs? (only the stuff that is "uncontroversial" like the hero speed bonus applying to hero itself if applicable, or ele garrison inside forts etc so that the gitea isnt clogged with balance stuff) ANYONE UP FOR THE TASK? XD

@Obelix in gymnasium the spear champs... they are city guards. they can be trained from the gymnasium or the regular hoplites become city guards upon ascension to the "4th rank" over the regular 3rd rank by gaining experience and @Dakara I think the marian is cool... but still maybe 10% more exp is good

the main problem atleast in my system is that 0ad doesn't utilise all of my stuff. and it's still janky. i remember when I had my pc that I could get 100 fps comfortably but in my laptop now it struggle to get more than 60.. what could be the issue? smh edit: My PC had rtx 2060 and my laptop has a rtx 1650

we are NOT close twin

WE GOT BERHUDAR ONLINE BEFORE GTA 6 ever since I joined this game they keep telling me there was a a guy whos goated at this game and i finally meet that guy

they ALSO have a massive damage multiplier on top of all that. also,all ranged cav has one extra pierce resistance than their infantry counterparts. combine this with the extra hp and mobility and you have the best unit for survivability

played multiple 5v5, one 6v6 with others here, and I can say its pretty darn smooth than expected! quite good compared to what everyone would assume it to be... and @kheeva I had the mod installed and I also could not join his 1v1.. it seems to be problem of him.. I am currently in the game you are playing haha even though its without the mod

agree with @real_tabasco_sauce that cav in its entirety is too fast in this game, cav in its entirety is pretty op. one jav cav is about 1.5 or 2 times value of a jav inf depending on how it's used,for example. also,I don't know why @Thalatta went on a rant about units being banned in that first reply... that wasn't even what I talked about?? I just said naked fana is too good economically, they are cheap little cockroaches with high dps,high speed,high capture and they still win against a normal swordsman. the naked fanas should not be able to run around your base like some little- so yeah. that's why naked fana is banned in most games. cus they are annoying for anyone who faces it. it's not fun to play rn.

champ cav is nonsensically fast naked fana has capture speed of a champ despite not having any of the drawbacks of a regular champ palisades are useless,but when spammed are somewhat annoying catas too op

@feneur @Stan`pls ban the bot accounts
