Nice! But are captured weapons supposed to disappear from a unit?
Playtest example:
On turn 16 my Warrior/Clubsguy captured 63 wooden spears from a Barbarian Spearmen (they went to Rear instead of Front?). I finished building a Spearman unit some turns later in my city and there was no transfer of spears happening during production or when the unit was finished.
But on turn 22 (6 turns after capture) the 63 spears disappear from the unit. They seem to be transferred to the city. Because the city stock says +63 spears.
Edit: In fact I seem to be able to build Spearmen units without having spears in stock. They are fully equipped with spears regardless.
Edit: Horses can't be captured, but I guess that's to be added eventually?
Edit: Melee units can't capture ranged weapons (Wooden bows)?
Also, maybe you could hinder the barbarians from spawning horsemen and horse archers so early in the game? Standard speed, 31 turns in, 3550 BC. Or maybe I should play at a slower speed?
/Otherwise I'm still working on compiling tables of population size, army size, unit size etc. Gonna post as soon as I've got something comprehensible to show.
