Please be more respectful and appreciative of other people's work. The addition of the Germans was certainly not rushed; the pull request was open since well before the release of A27 and being reviewed for a full year before merged.

Sorry, meant no disrespect there, just so much concern; this is unlike the process with the Han civilization, which took at least double that time after about a decade in the making. A case of bad timing or coming late to the party, so I see... my share has been accounted for.

 the portraits

My disagreement stems from that I forgot to add "Hero"; someone might notice the departure from the norm, as with the Han counterparts, Cleopatra, or those since Alpha 24. Still awaiting a volunteer for Candragupta...

Anyway, the game breaks if setting at least one player with the German civilization:

 Has anybody also noticed that the select sounds like Ti estis, Quid ests, and Salaams as well as for buildings etc. lost the pitch differences?

Han took years to develop.And yet it is not complete today.

 

The main idea dates back to 2010.

How are the German hero portraits a departure from the norm?

Even this civ has taken time and will take more time.

 

This is supposed to be a civilization based on the Germanic tribes that attacked the Roman Republic.

We weren't even sure about the name. On one hand, Teutons or Cimbri.

We don't even agree with the marvel/wonder.

 

The current civ is as generic as the Celts were years ago and as the Iberians still are.

Did not want to name names that time, but since Alpha 24 most of the hero portraits were updated thanks to volunteers such as @m7600 (no longer with us, but mention remains at the thread below) and @kul. The rest are just putting the new sky-blue background.

No offense, but the current German counterparts are like going back to antiquity with modern sugarcoating.

Point proven; little information to add. What have you been contributing to the Han civilization lately? Appreciate the extra hands towards that "completion"...

Don't take it seriously; unlike this time, there weren't things like Gendered Citizens and messy code back then that compromised the release of Alpha 26. Few more years and everyone wouldn't mind another faction added; this is a blatant departure in the name of balance.

Honest opinion, Germanic needs not to divide into separate Cimbris and Teutons; early Suebi elements could be integrated. Iberians are another story.

I must protest that the current Roman civilization situation is worse. Don't even want to know where to start, the insertion of auxiliaries after promoting elite Roman and Social cavalry?

You know that this early will be the basis of all future Germanic civs, right?

Goths.

Suebians

Marcomani

Etc ..

They are like the Greeks in the second part.

But what about the German heroes is inconsistent with the norm?

Still don't get it? The German hero portraits are like the usual actor units in idle but zoomed-in; notice the gear are apparent in Teutobod and Boiroix's cases. To spare checking the Gitea .pngs I made a Wiki article on the civilization with headers. Before replacing them with artificial intelligence @wowgetoffyourcellphone used to do this with some the lesser-known Greek factions. These for Aristedes and Militiades, as examples.

Goths, Suebians, Marcomani

Stick to the 500-1 BC timeframe and try not to drag those after...

Also, avoid double-posting; there is an "Edit" button at the three dots on top-left corner of the post.
