AOM is due to ship by Mid April. Time is still available for minor changes to some things.
AOM has many special historical units, made up of WONDER UNITS and HEROES.

The ancient WONDER_UNITS are; HAMMURABI, RAMSES, NEBUCHADNEZZER, ALEXANDER_THE_GREAT, CAESAR.
The Medieval WONDER_UNITS are; BARBAROSSA*, HERACLIUS, SALADIN*, CHARLEMANGE, MONTEZUMA*, SOLIMAN_THE_MAGNIFICENT*, SUN_TZU* AND WILLIAM_THE_CONQUEROR*.
Wonder units with a * after their name are limited to the wonders available to the specific governments of the middle ages.

Ancient HEROES ARE;XENOPHON, EPAMINONDAS, HANNIBAL, SCIPIO AFRICANUS, MARIUS AND VERCINGETORIX.
Medieval HEROES are;BELISARIUS, CHARLES MARTEL, RICHARD THE LIONHEART, BOHEMUND, DE LA VALETTE, ALP ARSLAN AND EL CID.

I would like to include one more Ancient and one more Medieval Hero. If you have some favourites, you can suggest up to two, one a new one and one a replacement for an existing one.

I will start the ball rolling by suggesting LEONIDAS as a new Ancient Hero.

Awesome!!! How the heck have I missed this for so long! Looks like some very impressive work Stankarp, nicely done, I'm very much looking forward to giving it a go (...if I can ever find enough hours in my day )

Is it still going to be hosted on Apolyton?

I noticed on the units.pdf on the AoM website theyre sorted alphabetically, this makes it hard to understand anything of the flow of the HUGE unit tree, sorting by age like the Cradle units.pdf would be better.

Also are you planning to release a misc info.pdf like Cradle with the unit upgrade paths, government stats etc? That was really useful to me learning Cradle.

I will be reviewing it after I play it some. Which is, 3-4 days after I play it (after downloading), plus possible 1-3 days delay because of RL issues. In other words, I will put my review up about a week after it becomes available for download.

Looking forward to it. I know that you have worked on CtP2 AI files for awhile now and might give your thoughts on what changes should be made if any.
Its hard to believe that a game this old is still many steps ahead of alot of new strategy titles.
The game has been refind
