Is this the actual Koine Greek? (Doric Greek may be used for the Spartans, while Koine for the others)

Without looking at the specific templates, you may need to replace="" or remove (-) the previous tech requirement.

Bring it back.

The map is good, but I'd approach the naming in an opposite direction and just name your new map 'Land Grab' and leave the name of the current 'Migration' alone.

Can we have construction animation in the upgrade? Just like the towers.

A fine compromise for now.

Maybe make it similar to the Roman "Marian Reforms" by turning the women into a viable late-game/Hail Mary combat unit at the cost of their economic prowess.

Meh, I think @marder 's original instincts were fine, by replacing the berries with deer. Should we always wait for code to catch up to do things? There's currently no other way to have done it by biome, and differentiating biomes is a legit desire, to make players have to adapt their strategies.

You could pick this back up since it's no longer feature freeze

(I could rebase D1838 but who's going to review that,,,)

Updated with suggestions

They're currently ranged cav because there's no other way to depict their actual usage without a deep rework/some new code. Most chariots did have an archer as one if their riders, but acted more like "turrets." The true effect of a chariot in this period was their charge attack. I wonder if we could make the archer a turret and then give the chariot itself a melee attack with splash damage.

This doesn't affect balance or gameplay, but it would be nice for someone to apply the patch and at least see if everything works as advertised so I can commit it.

You could make the Jav Cav turn into Numidian Cavalry with merc stats. The Numidian cavalry became a small but elite corps of cavalry at this time. Maybe these Numidian Cav have a +10% bonus in accuracy and speed to make them distinct in combat stats from the Sociii Allied Cavalry they replace.

How would that work? How can I switch between healing / attacking?

Approved. Been in DE for years. ;) I like the back and forth discussion too.

For the splash attack, it could be given in Hack damage, since that is inherently more effective against units than structures.

Maybe have the females unlocked with Town Phase or something, which essentially makes it free since Town Phase is a tech you will research as quickly as possible anyway.

After testing it, I can say this does patch up the original issue on OGL.

Sounds fine to me and makes sense for Rome.

Would 1 meter be noticeable by players?

This one made moot by latest Athenians update?

This was cool. Any chance a "rankicon" tag could be added for each new status so each promotion can be given a rank icon? Currently this is done in the identity component of subsequent templates.

3 Alpine grasses = mistakenly committed. They were there for a purpose, but that purpose is fulfilled. Will remove.

I tried these settings in DE. It's hard to see any "improvement" without more testing, but I see no new negative effects. I'll test them some more.
