@wackyserious committed the armor and added to the units however had to disable the chest band because that one clips too much with the full cataphract base armor (the one that will be used for any full armor) i like very much what you did with the stones :). I would like to congrats everyone for colaborating with the mod work since the carolingians where disabled for some time now they are properly playable and have an almost done full unit tree.

Anglo faction no longer have buildings placeholders.
Norse faction no longer has celt ship as ships neither ram.

It wouldn't take too much time to start working on the byzantine faction since the 3 base factions are nearly done.

wattle walls, fences, baskets, firewood, tools and such would really liven up this building set. Washed fabrics hanging out to dry from the windows or outdoor cordage, buckets.

the little prop section on most of our vanilla texture packs should do you some good service in that regard

5. Differentiating the gameplay

My suggestion is that we use feudalism as a keypoint. Personally I had the following idea:

The player would be able to build Castles (rather than a fortress) that would function (maybe with tech research?) as a economic center (Dropsite / Trading site etc. etc.) . However, it is not allowed to build them near your Civic Center (which stand symbol for the cities) Thus a certain expansion is required for the players. Lastly the Castle is the place is where the players recruit the main heap of units. In the City Barracks (mainly) only armed citizens (e.g. peasants with a pitchfork, simple bowmen, levy spearman) are recruitable. This makes the City harder to defend which forces careful placement of the Castles.

let me quote this idea, this is perfect for caro civ and wouldn't harm add more units to civ if we compare to persians who has some good amount of infantry to choose.

Levy infantry as a secondary spearman cheap and weak and maybe upgradeable to basic spearman if allowed by tech and a castle instead of a fortress would be good too if it gets to be walkable inside the walls but that has to wait.

Even the Athenians has a wide range of champion units.

  • Athenian Epibates (Marines)
  • Ephilektoi (Champion hoplite)
  • Thureophoroi
  • Scyhtian archers
  • Thracian swordsmen

it may need change the template and it wouldnt be appropiate use the red icon as champion and neither the green as mercenaries. Champion is stronger and mercenaries are not related to faction it may need use the basic blue colour and the basic infantry template as it is a weakest version of the spearman.
