Water, revered and respected for the precious resource that it was/is. We started investing in this idea in L'Outremer* and wells/springs/oasis' were a marketable resource...


*Swagger's Old Mod.

may be yourthinking making this a "Dune" sorta mod I like the idea!
hopefully if I get some modelling help I would like to put "Camel Caravans" on the strat map so when your moving around there "caravans moving on the map too!"

[Russian Gondor]

Well, I think water can be used like for example in a very minor village, give bonus 5 free upkeep or something.

[Polycarpe]

I coud suggest that having an oasis building (or water-based building) will give a great growth bonus but without it, the growth wil be very very low since water is life

final seven factions & their symbols this a "big" map so the way it will work is each of the factions will have at least a (a secluded Oasis area) military compound (castle) and a minor city & like three rebel small towns close in proximity to conquer initially before they embark on trekking through the desert & taking on the other factions & more rebels (which will be very aggressive and tough!) each Oasis area will have something unique about it (wonders, topography) so strategy is secure your local area then you can build until you are ready for continental conquest!

thank you very much Oneill, but at this point Russian Gondor is an equal leader of this mod with me~ he has already done a wonderful mapping environment ( the ground types & climates) & he will be seriously involved in developing the descriptions for the factions and a general storyline plus he already has offered to take on a large portion of coding units & other stuff like that!
Ok the druvatarian notion of the day! LoL
ok I have put five fortresses in the center of the Island, which will be rebel heavily garrisoned & having these five fortresses will be part of the win conditions
my thinking is gameplay will work like this: you secure your Oasis area on the outskirts & build up then you branch out & expand finally culminating in a " big, big," battle for these five fortresses in the center (than you can just burn & pillage all villages & sail off to the next mod) ok my final question is I have removed all gunpowder & gunpowder units was that a bad choice & should I re-add them?
