Until you denied I didn't think you were specifically to blame; but now...

He needs lumber for his farming tools 

[Grautvornix]

My non-scientific ahistorical assessment: People on the lower end of society were always somehow farmers and sometimes ordered to do lumbering. I am not sure if in these times specialized professions were so common (like lumberjack, other probably)

Don't take my assessment serious, please.

You can blame me 

This is actually not a mistake, it was a deliberare decision, which I was involved in. See the discussion in https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/8062

The idea was to make the civilians' names more interesting, to change them up a bit for some civs and add historical flavor; most of the lower-class civilians in the Han dynasty were indeed farmers, and after all, the unit is best at working on fields.

I was aware at the time already that this idea was not without its flaws and that someone would bring it up eventually. But I still stand by the decision, I think it's a good opportunity to reflect and teach what kind of people actually formed the lower societal class in those civilisations; and for me personally, that outweighs the oddities.

And if you really need one to pick on, then please the "Carthaginian Artisan"...
