Note that each of those aforementioned units is also available as a cavalry variant. For the future we plan to use horses as vehicles where units garrison in (using Sander's awesome visible garrison feature in 0AD), which makes the current cavalry - infantry redundancy obsolete.
Functionality:
The convert unit functionality has gotten a new algorithm that basically is capturing that decides to convert prisoners instantly instead of making them slaves or prisoner of war. The ethnicity will be kept up.
Maps:
To slowly get ready for the A17 release, we fixed the Egyptian Demo Map.
