Looks neat and works as advertised. Testing it in Atlas though, the Catapult doesn't die when the ship does.

Should go ahead and place all special buildings into the Builder mixin so they call can be placed strategically.

However I feel it could be improved if the marines had a special bonus when garrisoned in ships instead of being generic swordsman champions.

Those corpses are still getting chopped up though. ;)

The problem with the cursor in 4K seems to be a rendering issue rather than a texture issue. Perhaps someone else can verify?

I'm not sure if "Mangonel" is a Chinese word. Seems more like it should be the GenericName instead of "Trebuchet."

I could support moving the Market to P1 for these 3 civs. But that's not a team bonus, that's a civ bonus. This diff is meant to address their team bonuses. :) I do agree also that trading bonuses for a team bonus seems kinda mediocre, but I wasn't trying to reinvent the wheel with this diff, just address some issues with differentiation and effectiveness.

Adjacent but of topic question: what happened to that infinite resources trade bug?

Is this planned for only those items in the options menu?

Oddly enough, prior to this patch, I had no NPOT errors. Only after this patch hit the repo do I now get NPOT errors. The exact opposite effect. Who is this fix for? More ancient hardware?

I originally intended this map to be difficult to see, to simulate a snow storm, but since players can simply turn off fog (I hate this btw) they could "cheat" and see better than a player with the fog turned on it would be better to just reduce the fog by default. I have no problem with these settings.

I would not disable formations for siege and eles, which seems to put a kibosh on this particular fix. :/

Honestly, I think gray or brown would look nicer than plain white, but the other improvements are really nice.

I wonder: Should one be the baseline and then the other be lesser or greater than that? So, should elephant_african be the baseline stats from/in the template (no elephant_african mixin) and then elephant_indian be a mixin that increases those stats?

It would be cooler (IMHO) to make these upgrades of the Defense Tower instead of standalone structures. What do you think?

Good commit. Siege are in good shape.

Yeah, makes sense then. Well, then the random map code needs extending. I hear someone has a working patch for that. ;)

I show you the way. Do what you will. :)

Why did they say this is the right thing to do? Bushes no longer prevent construction or pathfinding.

@ValihrAnt @chrstgtr @wowgetoffyourcellphone any opinion on the new values?

@marder We can play with the projectiles later. :) That's an art thing.'

You'll kill me.... but I'd keep the additional pierce armor (I've always thought cav fall to ranged units too easily), but nix the additional hack armor. Then bump up the attack vs. cav bonus to 2.0 as others suggested.

Would be nice, although one has to take control groups into account on a 1024x768 screen.

Trying again. This time remove the extra "Fog" settings from the last patch and using a better default texture that isn't so green. Also made the Han the #1 default civ for this release. Lastly, using the 'desert' skybox which has a nice horizon line.

What are "old" shadows? I use whatever options are in the game.

"Cover whole map" enables old flickering (on camera movement/rotation) shadows.

I too Accept this as an improvement, and in addition to the Auto-Attack patch would largely fix the odd animal behavior.
