Also how about some buildable ancient artillary/war vehicles, you dig up the remains in diffrent biomes and then build working copys of them after you glean enough knowledge about them them from your digs

Briton Cidainth:

A form of sythed celtic war chariot used to great succsess by the Britons. they wrecked havok on the romans during the invasion and were later used by the picts in the 5th centuary.

Found in broad leafed forest biomes

comes in 2 forms a smaller faster 1 man chariot and a larger 2 man version with room for a bowman.

Roman Scorpio: The roman Scorpio was a type of ballista used by the roman army specifly designed for anti-infrantry use. At full power a foot long iron tipped bolt can be shot over a mile and stll be deadly to anyone unfortunate enough to be in the way!

comes in a non potable turret form or a carrage mounted form that can be pulled by a horse

Persian Cataphract: While not an atilliary piece or vehicle the Cataphract was a formidable foe. Both rider and horse were armed head to toe in scaled iron or bronze armor and armed with a lance and sword, the cataphract was effectivly an on field battering ram that charged at an enemy head on at full force. It was used so effectivly by the parthians and persians that the Romans developed there own forms that became the precursors to the knights of the later medival ages
