I want to draw your attention to a problem that can occur when translating a game. It has to do with the choice of the path you use to receive translations. At the moment you expect to receive translations to your e-mail or via forum, but what happens when more than one person offers their suggestions? For example, Ukrainian localization of Age of History 2 was done in the WORST way possible, which greatly worsened overall experience.

I want you to take a look at the way UnCiv developers organized the translation process of their game (see: https://yairm210.github.io/Unciv/Other/Translating/). UnCiv is an Open-Source project I've volunteered a lot.

The translation file is duplicated for different languages and all the files added to a separate folder inside GitHub project. Everyone can make edits to the translation and offer them to the developers for review (by creating a Pull Request). Everyone can also discuss these edits and make their own changes.

I think this way would help to create a much better translation for the game.

- Campaign: Small Scenarios
  
  Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas, September 27
  
  In this topic, share your ideas for Campaign scenarios.
  
  These scenarios focus on a small part of the map, with the rest designated as wasteland.
  
  For example, a scenario of the Reconquista in 1054, where gameplay takes place only on the Iberian Peninsula.
  
  What are your ideas for small historical scenarios?

  Hi,
  in this topic, I am interested in your ideas for events that can happen for every Civilization in the game.
  I'm also interested in Missions for every Civilization.
  
  Here is some example, have more than 10k army, have more than 5000 gold, build 10 buildings, recruit an Advisor, increase tax efficiency 20 times, be largest producer of some resource in the world, unlock 5 Civilization legacies etc.

- Land units - Ideas AoH3
  
  Łukasz Jakowski posted a topic in Ideas, December 5, 2023
  
  AoH3 will have different types of land units.
  
  In this topic we will write ideas for new land units.
  
  So the AoH 3 will have new battle system.
  
  Representation of the battlefield in the game.
  
  Land units will be grouped into 3 types. Each unit will have a different recruitment cost, attack, defense, movement speed and upkeep.
  
  Groups determine the placement of units on the battlefield.
  
  Each unit can be unlocked by researching technology and then upgraded.
  
  Here is the current list of units with upgrades:
  
  First line:
  
  Warrior -> Light Footmen -> Heavy Infantry -> Infantry -> Line Infantry -> Modern Infantry
  
  Hoplites -> Spearmen -> Pikeman -> Elite Pikeman -> Musketeer -> Riflemen -> Mechanized Infantry -> Modern Mechanized Infantry
  
  First line side:
  
  Horseman -> Elite Horseman -> Cavalry -> Tank -> Modern Tank
  
  Second line:
  
  Archer -> Bowmen -> Crossbowman -> Elite Crossbowman
  
  Canon -> Field Cannon -> Artillery -> Modern Artillery
  
  Early Airplane -> Airplane -> Modern Airplane
  
  This is a very early version, so maybe something should be changed?
  
  Or maybe an idea for a new type of unit with upgrades? I'm waiting for your suggestions.
