你不希望我们尝试解决这个问题吗?

有些人可能会这样做,但...

In fact, 0 A·D can't express too many elements, and it is too difficult for me to translate this ancient Chinese into a foreign language. I just put it here as a reference. Among them, I think it can be reflected in the game. Yes, there are iron rods, hammers, axes, and two chariots equipped with winch crossbows.

你应该把它翻译成现代汉语。

I posted two parts, the second part is modern Chinese, but it is difficult to translate from modern Chinese to foreign languages, because the key words in the translation of modern Chinese are still ancient Chinese words.
To be honest, I don't understand the full meaning of it myself, even if I spell out these words in Chinese Pinyin, you still can't understand the meaning of these words.

I remeber reading something about unmanned charriots who fired crossbows on their own years ago.

I tried looking for the source, and could only find this  article.

Fire Horse Chariots
Unmanned Chariots armed with automatic crossbows, pulled by horses with burning tails. This ancient weapon would have been terrifying for the soldiers who saw it coming/ In a time where superstitious beliefs were widespread a chariot that was being driven by horses coated in fire, and guns fired by no one, could make people think they were being attacked by ghosts or demons. In 180 ad there was large rebellion against Yang Shuan. Yang Shuan was completely outnumbered and needed to come with something to break up the army, without costing him any lives. He thought of creating crossbows that could fire on their own, and attaching them to chariots. The chariots would be pulled by horses who would be pointed in the direction of the enemy, and have their tails set on fire.

我记得读过一些关于几年前无人驾驶战车向自己发射弩的文章。

This is also the first time I have seen this story, and I have to go back and check Chinese history books to confirm the authenticity, but the winch crossbow mounted on a wheelbarrow or a two-wheeled carriage appeared very early, which is certain.
