    The Celtic and the Norse do not have ranged sieges. This role is served by their "Palintonon."
    Persian War Wagons cost more wood but less gold. They have more health, reduced range and line of sight but instead of dealing crush damage and bonus vs buildings, they deal splashing pierce damage. They can be championed to increase their health and the splash effect.
    Roman Scorpios cost less wood, and gold, move faster, train faster, start with melee-infantry armor and take up 2 less population space. They can also be trained earlier after the Silver Age. They have reduced health, damage, line of sight, minimum range, maximum range, and splash, and deal bonus damage to infantry and ranged instead of buildings. They can be championed to deal more bonus damage to infantry, be allowed to snare, and have their minimum attack range removed.
    Roman Onagers cost less wood, train faster, have reduced health and damage. They can be championed to increase their damage and movement speed.
    Babylonians do not have ranged sieges. This role is served by their Melee Siege.

    Palintonon
    [​IMG]

    Greek, Egyptian, Persian, Roman, and Babylonian Palintonon can all be championed to increase their range and line of sight.
    Egyptian Palintonon takes the longest to train as they are trained in the Siege Workshop as opposed to the Fortresses.
    Celtic Stone Throwers cost less wood and gold, train faster, and take 1 less population space. They have reduced health, damage, minimum attack range, maximum attack range, and line of sight. They cannot be repaired but healed instead. They can be championed to deal bonus damage vs siege and take up 1 less population.
    Norse Log Throwers function identically as Stone Throwers with a bonus vs infantry. They cannot be repaired but healed instead. They can be championed to deal bonus damage vs siege, move faster, and take up 1 less population.
    (Dev Blog #6) Indian Palintonon are no different than the rest of their counterpart.

    Military Support Units
    [​IMG]

    Greek, Egyptian, Persians, and Babylonian do not have a support combat unit.
    The Celts have a military support unit in their Support Priest, the Druid that can increase the damage of any friendly units recently healed by the druid by 20%.
    Roman Aquilifier are infantry that can boost the damage of any friendly military unit by 10% (including military ships).
    Roman Primus Pilus is a cavalry that can reduce the damage of any enemy military unit by 10% (including military ships).

    [​IMG]

    Support Priests
    [​IMG]

    Greeks, Persians, Babylonians, and Norse do not have a support priest.
    Egyptian Priests of Ra take the longest to train and have the most health. They may empower buildings to generate more resources from dropoffs, train units faster, and build faster. They can be upgraded to increase their healing rate, healing range, line of sight, movement speed, and health as well as to cost cheaper and train faster. They can potentially be the fastest in speed and training as well the cheapest support priests.
    Celtic Druid cost less gold, and have reduced health, and healing but they can deal damage. They apply a temporary damage buff to the recently healed. They can be upgraded to increase their health, damage, and healing rate.
    Roman Clinicus can only be trained after the Silver Age. They have reduced health, one of the strongest healing in the game, but cannot area heal. They can be upgraded to area heal.

    Converting Priests
    [​IMG]

    Greek Priests can be upgraded to increase their conversion range and line of sight.
    Egyptian Priests of Set have reduced healing rate, healing range, and health. They also inflict chaos (converting to neutral) rather than converting enemy units to their side. They can be upgraded to increase their healing rate, healing range, chaos range, line of sight, movement speed, and health as well as to cost cheaper and train faster. They also can be the cheapest, fastest, and provide the most line of sight. THEY DO NOT COUNT AS CONVERTING PRIESTS FOR OPTIONALS AND WILL NOT FAIL THEM.
    Egyptian Priests of Ptah cost more, take up 1 more population, convert slower, have reduced conversion range, healing range, line of sight, and movement speed but can convert buildings and multiple units in an area of effect. They can be upgraded to increase their healing rate, healing range, conversion range, line of sight, movement speed, and health as well as to cost cheaper and train faster. They also can have the most health but are also the slowest.
    Celtic Augur cost more in gold but can cast rites on huntable/herdable to provide training time reduction, bonus vs buildings, increased damage, or movement speed. They can only be upgraded to increase their healing rate. They can potentially be one of the strongest healer.
    Persian Magus converts slower. They can be upgraded to increase their conversion rate to become the fastest converter.
    Roman Pontifex have increased conversion range but cannot heal. They can be upgraded to increase their conversion rate, conversion range, and line of sight. They have the largest conversion range.
    Babylonian Priests can be upgraded to increase their conversion rate, conversion range, and line of sight. However, they can be trained the fastest with all the garden training time reduction.
    Norse Seers cost less gold but cannot heal and have reduced line of sight. They can summon a raven that can move unobstructed across the map to explore. They can be upgraded to increase their line of sight and of their ravens.
    Norse Rhapsodes cost more in gold, and have increased health, reduced healing, and line of sight. However, they have the largest healing area. They can be upgraded to increase their healing.
    (Dev Blog #4) Indian Gurus are unique in being able to convert and heal in-combat at one's choice.

    Armories
    [​IMG]

    Egyptian Armories are unique in replacing their Scale Mail/Shield Rim, Chain Mail/Shield Truss, and Laminar Armor/Shield Boss with Scale Mail and Hide Armor; Chain Mail and Boiled Leather Armor; and Lamellar and Lacquered Leather Armor respectively saving down on upgrade times and cost efficiency.
    (Dev Blog #1) Indian Armories are no different than the rest of their counterparts.

    I think I documented the differences between every civilization as well as included in some India blog notes that can differentiate the Indian civilization already!
