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"... :D

Why can't I queue the upgrade?

Because upgrades are susceptible to change the proprieties of the production queue etc. So it is only supported to upgrade an entity that has an empty queue be right now, else bad things could happen. I project to make a mitigation for this and allow for upgrades to be queued regardless but not sure how this will go.

What I would like is an option in the Settings to change Gendered Civilians back to Women. Having female Civilians and male Citizen gives a more clearer feedback which units are civilians and which are citizens.

This is exact my feeling about this too.   It was better oversight over eco due to very different gather rates, especially for stone and wood. 

Not that fun observation: When a worker gets killed, a male dies as female amimotion and a female as male. Watch this in 0.1x speed and you can recognize this.
