you call Scythed Chariots a siege engine?

[Clagius]

No I don't. I was mentioning them, because that guy said siege engines were introduced to Greeks.

then you imply Scythed chariots are siege engines *facepalm*

anyway, back to topic

[Clagius]

Spike, what are you on? You didn't understand what I said...

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Scythed chariots were pretty useless if we take ancient sources at face value. But for some reason people kept using them for 300 years or so, so there must've been something to it.

I would guess the psychological value, same with elephants (those had a better record though)

EDIT: sorry, double post.

I think it would be really great if there was a talented artist among the comunity able to create a set of historcaly acurate portraits for Iranians and Easterns of RoP timeframe..
just a little bit off topic dreaming..

You mean like removing the maille aventails of their helmets?

Heh, too bad I suck at photoshop...

[demagogos nicator]

You mean like removing the maille aventails of their helmets?

Yes, exactly. Also giving the generals helmets and tiaras of the style that achamednid and neo-babylonian generals used.

I got a brilliant idea, Can you make that you can rebelion against a nation or province with your own nation (you can choose name) own made flag or symbol and start your own empire. Like choosing a province where to start.
It would be great and fun.
I would recommend a bigger map like the other guy above me said and have western europe and scandinavia in-game

[Blatta Optima Maxima]

Where should I start...

[tianzong]

Where should I start...

You can better not start cuz it's impossible.
(atleast that's what i think cuz i don't know much of modding)

Are going to continue developing the Greek political system traits that you were experimenting with in 2.2? They looked interesting, plus I want to create a unified but bloated, giant bureaucratic Greece. Plus will there be traits for other government types as well?

Just downloaded it great game..

here is some ideas

Have some Historical Battles

-Marathon
-Halys River (End of Lydia)
-Battle of Pelusium

Could we also have events triggering an jewish return to Palestine (as happened in real life)

Anyways great job hope you release another version..

Perhaps have something about the rise of Buddha in India?

Anyway agreed with nein, i think the native names should be optional if that is possible. Also as i said before, i think the map should be a bit smaller, the interior of India was not significant and the Magadha were not an expansionist power on the world stage, i don't think any native Indian power has ever expanded out of the subcontinent significantly. Also having a lot of southern Russia on the map gives the Medes a chance for cheap expansion which is also unrealistic.

I disagree with the India Part

I think this campaign should actually expand east, obviously Manghndala was not very expansionist should let us add some more Indian factions to represent Aryan Cities

Also I would also like to report a problem with the custom battles

- Usually 6-15 seconds into the battle the game crashes

And are some of the factions unplayable?

[Clagius]

Usually 6-15 seconds into the battle the game crashes

There is a patch for it.

-Halys River (End of Lydia)

Not really, at Halys river Lydia and the Medes made a peace treaty because their final epic battle was disrupted by a solar eclipse.

oh I remember now


Downloaded the patch battles work now yay!

But I have another issue
For some reason playing as Magadha I can recruit Lonian units from Mathara

Oh Pardon me took another look they are actually Lydian Hopliites my bad...

Whoever is in charge of the sigs and stuff, this could be modified to suit your mod:
