  1. On the matter, I think the Celts still have their scabbard on the left instead of the right. Diodorus Siculus, The Library of History, 5, 30: "In place of the short sword they carry long broad-swords which are hung on chains of iron or bronze and are worn along the right flank."
  2. From Udayagiri caves, 2nd c. BC to 1st c. AD https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Udayagiri_and_Khandagiri_Caves
  3. By the way a falcata is a double-edged weapon, at least the first third of the blade is double-edged. It should not be confused with a machaira or a kopis. An example of machaira/kopis: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/322930367_A_One-Edged_Curved_Sword_from_Seyitomer_Hoyuk
  4. Age of Empires IV - Official Gameplay Trailer
  5. In this case, this is a kind of helmets in use among officers in the Roman army. Due to inspiration from Hellenistic territories recently acquired.
  6. So it is not "peak expansion Etruscans"
  7. The picture comes from Osprey, so you should simply check the description. Someone copied it there: https://weaponsandwarfare.com/2020/02/16/etruscan-warriors/
  8. Iberian is much more difficult and much less known, but we find a workaround.
  9. This is inclusive for people suffering from stuttering.
  10. I really doubt 0ad will move on beta. I don't interpret the message from wraitii the same way.
  11. I suggest dropping the alphabetical order and keeping the only good idea of using old names to label the alphas
  12. Just one big Thracian faction. Illyrians + Dacians + Thracians is enough I think?
  13. In my opinion, this is a terrible idea. First, because most of our evidences, archaeologically and historically, are related to the Odrysians. Second, because this is incoherent, we don't do the same for other cultures. Else, why not dividing Getae and Dacians? The same for Illyrians with the Autariatae, Dalmatiae, Dardani, Ardiaei etc.
  14. By the way, you have missed several Odrysians from your list.
  15. I am not supporting the idea of two Thracian factions, and I don't have the time nor the will to argue about heroes. So you have free hand on the matter.
  16. Knowing how much @Nescio was a good nitpicker, I would be surprised if there are any issues like this remaining for the Hellenistic factions.
  17. I refuse, and I suggest you to read something more rigorous than wikipedia, like Thucydides or Herodotus. Or to check the accounts of battles directly, if you want to stick with wikipedia.
  18. Zyraxes: Bonus to archers, cavalry archers and arrow-shooting towers. Burebista: Bonus in territory extent and bonus in capture. Decebalus: Bonus in training speed for infantry.
