Do mine eyes deceive me? Three new pieces of gear? Excellent.

That's a really nice shield... i'd put it on my centurions but it overrides their awesome looking scutum.

Ah, missed a trick there... could have had the mission where you kill Aha be called "take on him" or something.

Yes, I've been asking if we can have this for a very long time, and have received some remarks from the team that they'd like to, at least some of them. I'd like to keep asking but I do get the impression it's one of those things that, simply because the game wasn't made with it in mind, it's...

It was difficult choosing only three screens of my city to upload (RIP temple district) but here are three of the main areas of my greek capital city. IGN: MechSmith

In the past, announcements on this date have been part joke and part real, right? I'm really hoping for Roman advisor units, or a little extra attention to existing ones to make them more useable Perhaps give the advisor small stat effects, and leave the unit in as a bonus? - For example...

I love the upgraded gates, for one nice little bit of attention to detail- the spikes. Larger indian fortresses often had spikes covering their main doors from 1-3 metres above the ground specifically to prevent enemy war elephants from being able to easily brute force their way through. My...

I play a lot of celts, but because i switch between greeks and romans too i often forget to use gold mines (when i can) since they don't ever feel like they do very much. Maybe it does need a slight tweak, a small rework, so that it offers something unique? Celts never seem to feel short on...

the crush is the melee attack, the pierce is the ranged, i just managed to get the two mixed up and with the lacking arrow icon, I thought there was an actual bug, rather than just a missing icon.

I'm just double-checking that, i suddenly realised i might be mistaken. *edit* yes, i was mistaken about the range damage not scaling. I was looking at the crush DPS which doesn't increase because there aren't upgrades for it.

It does, and displays the correct armour/shield icon on its unit card.

Title says it all, i've noticed recently that my purple helepolis are sitting at ~150 pierce dps and not showing the little arrow symbol from blacksmith upgrades.

Before the Romans, Celts and Greeks were my favourite two factions, now all three share a top spot, and though i've got all of them well geared, I play this game quite casually but can still do most legendary quests... eventually. Hopefully, that means I can offer suitable advice. Celts Celts...

I really like the decision to give attack rate rather than regen, or just making it have really high stats. It provides a unique benefit without making it automatically best in slot. I hope we'll see more interesting side-grades like this for future event weapons, perhaps things like melee...
