I'm guessing it's something position. Like "great position" or "prime position".

Well done, here's the current progress:

And the hint for today is on [20]. Might be a good cliffhanger for the finale, but lets do it now:

Spoiler

With this attack even woman can deal 1000 damage with it.

I hope this does not cause some havoc in games

One more note:

You won't find any information about this inside the graphical game AFAIK (and I double checked). But it's certainly not unused code. And no custom mod is involved, I talk about pure vanilla 0 A.D.

I thought it would be about something represented as a damage type internally that wasn't really damage in the original sense. Maybe something about capture defense when garrisoned. Or something with auras, healing, building or farming rate, gathering (but that one is separate I think). There also was poisoning and setting something on fire, which would seem like good candidates to possibly cause a lot of damage, but I don't see them fit. Then there used to be this damage dealt by fire ships when they were destroyed, but I don't see it used now. And the only word that I can think of as fitting the letters would be "clustered".

[20] not: SPLASH, CLUSTERED

Now I am really questioning why I didn't get this one earlier. You remember how on the wolf map you didn't really have to actually fight the wolves (like when hunting deer), but you'd just somehow kill them instantly? It's been years since I last played that map, but that was when I learned about this type of sorcery. Who'd have thought back than that that piece of knowledge would become critical years later?

We've been doing it figuratively by champion cavalry, yet I forgot that you can quite literally just do it.

What is slaughter?

[ffm2]

Yes, but this isn't jeopardy. No need to phrase it like a question

Spoiler

But I think it's only domestic animals now. Didn't check right now.
