    Default [Official AoB Preview #4] Mycenae




    -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    The fertile plains of Greece have sheltered all manner of folk through the ages. Since the time before metal and fire, stone fortresses have ruled the land
    while elegant ships ply the waters. Now the kings of Mycenae, glorious golden Mycenae, must take up the ancestral mantle of Greece, and rule as their fathers have d
    one. This world is a hostile one however. To the south, the vain lords of Crete idle in sprawling palaces and bathhouses whilst Minoan ships selfishly hoard the Aegean. In the East, the city of Troy languishes inside its high walls, halting our ships from trading freely , as is their right. Beyond Troy, the Hittite empire lies in wait to pounce upon any perceived weakness, and take all Anatolia and Greece in its grasp. Worry not, however, for the Greeks are a proud and powerful people. When the palaces of Knossos and Akrotiri lie in flames, when Hattusas bows under the heel of Greek admirals, and when petulant Troy is reduced to rubble, the whole world will know the power of almighty Mycenae.

    Unit Previews

    The Mycenaean army is a army built upon raw power. At its core is a legion of armoured nobles, coated head to toe in mighty bronze armour, and able to stand against all but the most vicious of enemy assaults. In support of this glistening spearhead stands light, highly mobile spearmen and melee infantry, with magnificent chariots ready smash open any lines that remain intact. The Mycenaean general should be a peerless commander of heavy infantry, his glittering bronze phalanxes the rocks upon which enemy armies break again and again.

    version .1 is only custom battle. Grand Campaign is not our immediate priority. Way to much work for a team that is, as of now functionally 3-4 people.

    Can I suggest to change orange to a cold colour? Cold colours (blue, white, purple...) combine and contrast much better with bronze coulour than hot ones (orange, red...) Unless is unhistorical.

    We chose to stick with unilaterally warm colors for Mycenae, simply because we felt the warm reds and oranges best fit the personality we tried to develop for the faction. Its very subjective.
