    Akrit, I'm not sure what you mean by Aram. Thanks for your response, but I am having a difficult time understanding you.

    EDIT: Okay I re read it and i think I understand. One of the problems with the Hebrews is that we just don't know when the kingdom was started. Somewhere between 1400 BC and 12something? Oh well. Great mod! =).

    EDIT: THe Hebrews did have their own kingdom by the mid to late 12s >__<. plus that's going by a late date. it could have been a 100 years earlier.
    EDIT: Oh fumble monkeys! The date is 1290-1150?

    Hebrews will be presented as "Ivri".
    "Ivri" will be one of fraction "Aramaeans" components.

    Hebrews kingdom most likely has arisen not earlier than the middle of XII century BC.

    There are no acknowledgement of earlier existence in written sources. Is not present as well archaeological acknowledgement.

    In XIII century BC it is correct to speak about nomadic tribes Hebrews

Although some bards of the "dark ages" such as Homer and Hesiod remember about the past greatness of a court of Mycenaean civilization, it sank into obscurity, until archaeologists began to excavate. In the Anatolian peninsula the losses were even greater. Famine, plague, and on top of the invasion of the Thracian tribes destroyed the Hittite empire, gave the Anatolian plateau level of stability and prosperity, which this area will not see in the follow thousand years! Levantine trading cities suffered the same fate, and although recovery was faster here, but urban life was severely set back, and the major cultural centers such as Ugarit and Alalakhceased to exist altogether. In Egypt, with difficulty repelled an attack by "Sea Peoples" XX-th dynasty marked the end of the New Kingdom and the end of the achievements of the Pharaonic era.

Assistance in preparing them have professional historians of the Institute of Oriental Studies, Russia Academy of Sciences - A.A. Nemirovsky and A.V. Safronov for which many thanks to them!
    The basis of the armies of the Bronze Age was the infantry, cavalry and chariots had only been provided through this particular change to the gameplay and the tactical map, the role and importance of the chariots will increase substantially compared to the original game or other mods.
