Yes it is. Good news for all Georgia fans I guess. There will be two Georgian factions in this mod: The Kingdom of Kartli (Iberia) and Lazica.

**JERUSALEM** · July 21, 2011, 10:07 AM

The mod is really Great ! Cheers to all members who work for it

But I have some suggestions for you guys and hope you do not mind those advise.

1. First of all i think the banner of the Sassanid Empire has to be changed - the Old Eagle for Sassanid Persia
is more historically accurate.

2. the banner for the Kingdom of Kartli is taken from the Colchian tetri (lit. Colchian silver coin) which was actually
the banner used by Colchians (Kolhida or Colches. Western Georgia. The Kartli is Eastern one) from BC. 6th to 3rd cc. later in the beginning of the 3rd century
Kingdom of Kartli annexed the Colchian Kingdom. but later in BC 107 Kingdom of Pontus conquered the Colchis.
After the fall of Kingdom of Pontus the Roman rule was established and later in 2nd century AD the new
kingdom of Lazica was established under the protection of Roman Empire in order to protect the Roman borders from
North-East where the North Caucasian step people lived. And this new Kingdom of Lazica established in ca.100
maintains that they are the successors of mighty Kingdom of Colchis hence Kingdom of Lazica is successor of Colchis
and has all symbols inherited from Colchis. And Kingdom of Kartli/Iberia has nothing to do with Colchian symbols. Consequently the symbol you have used for
the Kingdom of Kartli is better to use for the Kingdom of Lazica

3. As for the symbol of Kingdom of Kartli it is better to use the Christian symbols for example so-called ''Bolnuri cross''
which is kind of national symbol and the Georgian type of cross introduced in the 5th century on the temple of Bolnisi sion (474-494).
That is why scholars refer is as Bolnuri means from Bolnisi. Some even think that they have found the earlier examples of this cross dated approx.
to 4th century AD. (Yes, do not use the modern flag of Georgia as it was not in use for 5-6 cc.)
see the links about ''Bolnuri cross'' (5 c. AD)

(this is original ''bolnuri cross'' from Bolnisi Temple with ancient Georgian inscription. Bolnisi, Georgia)

(this is the same ''Bolnuri cross'' from the Jvari Monastery in Mts'kheta, Georgia)

There are some more examples but i think that is enough.

Good work anyway, keep doing your job guys wish you luck !!!!!!!!!

Thanks for your advices mate! Our Historians will see that and if needed they will tell us if we must change the faction symbols...

Thanks again...

Always ready to assist you!
Thank for your reply.

**juvenus** · July 22, 2011, 07:35 AM

a very well composed and original preview guys! i gave +rep to Deautchland but it's for everyone of u, really.
i'm especially pleased that u intend to implement 10 religions, that will add much diversity to the game and make it very accurate. everyone has huge expectations of this mod

**Deutschland** · July 22, 2011, 07:50 AM

Huge expectations ... that is good. But please remember we are aiming for a Beta, a 1.0. Its not that the perfect game falls out of heaven. But we will constantly work to make it better and better, like the TATW team does.

**The excited one** · July 22, 2011, 08:11 AM

mmmm can i make greco-roman paganism as the official religion of the roman empire again just like the good old days........

**Deutschland** · July 22, 2011, 08:15 AM

Yes you can. However expect major rebellions if you do so since the majority of the empire's population was Christian at the time.
