Sadly the means for cheating are disproportionate in comparison to the means to fight them.

The text of Tacitus is available here: https://facultystaff.richmond.edu/~wstevens/history331texts/barbarians.html https://classics.mit.edu/Browse/index-Tacitus.html I don't recall a wolf warrior

Cimbrian war is 113–101 BC, so at this time those were still used (iron helmets): and those started to appear (bronze helmets): There is also the Roman montefortino, which used by Gauls too.

Not Britonnic but Gallic, however it is quite close to the current wonder of the Britons.

The basic units are a bit boring: The helmets are not compatible with the Cimbrian wars, those helmets are posterior, and the alesia helmet in bronze never existed: There is a large mix up of shield bosses from centuries much before the Cimbrian war and shield bosses from after. Weird wolf warrior, not sure from which source it came from: Boiorix uses a helmet from the end of the Gallic Wars, so decades later:

Logades means almost the same thing than Epilektoi. Logades was the term used during the 5th century BC. In the 4th century, they prefered Epilektoi. Chosen Hoplites is fine. The other possibility could be Veteran Hoplites. Epilektoi were often chosen from people with previous experience as levied hoplites.

Amélie Kuhrt's book is very useful but if you want something focusing on the society, I would suggest "The World of Achaemenid Persia", "A History of Zoroastrianism (Zoroastrianism under the Achaemenians)" and "Women in Ancient Persia, 559-331 BC". Check the table of contents of "The World of Achaemenid Persia" and see if it could interest you.

Epilektoi means "chosen" or "selected", and it was used to designate elite troops. In Athens, it was plausibly a permanent elite force during the 4th century BC. City Guards is not a good equivalent for a translation.

Scythians maybe, at least the Saka seem to use something similar, although maybe without the dragon/wolf head: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orlat_plaques Although the Dacians clearly should have them, in the future.

@wowgetoffyourcellphone maybe the Eagle standard can be made available when the Marian reforms tech is researched?

I take the opportunity to share this study on the military standards: https://books.ub.uni-heidelberg.de/propylaeum/catalog/book/1394 It is written in German.

Care to add a description?

Interesting. Why?

Carthage deserves a rework, based on sources that are a little more researched than the usual superficial summaries. I don't really understand what the Numidians are doing in the civic center. These were not Carthaginian citizens, but allied troops - in other words, auxiliaries - who fought for Carthage under political agreements. Several Numidian peoples were direct clients of Carthage, so I can see why they're part of the standard roster. But not in the civic center. Slightly problematic are the Libyan lancers, who aren't necessarily at their best in the civic center. Carthage may have massively recruited Libyans into its armies, but the status of citizens for these troops was not systematic. In fact, Carthage mainly enlisted peasants from subjugated states. These peasants also worked in the fields of Carthaginian estates. Their status as peasants argues for integration into the civic center, but their status as foreign citizens argues for the opposite. I find that it also lacks mention of Libyphoenicians. They made up an important part of the Carthaginian troops and were Phoenician citizens in the other North African colonies. Libyphoenicians were known for their cavalry. In this case they could be recruited in the civic center.

What is "full hash" in this context? The control of all values in the simulation?

Warring states China would be nice too.

For the moment, they are the only representatives of these peoples. But potentially, we could have several representatives of certain civilizations. I am thinking in particular of the Romans, the Persians and the Chinese.

Yeah it's lame. Although it is easy to see and identify. Is this a feature that is existing but not used, or would we have to implement it in javascript ? Age of Mythology is in a simpler situation, the game is less realistic. We couldn't have such spectacular changes. But it would still be interesting.
