Welcome back to another update for Ancient Empires!
Today's update will be small, and feature a look at some of the Faction traits in the mod, along with in-game screenshots.
But before that, we'd like to reach out to the community and ask for your help. With a small team of only a few modders active at any one time, there's often not enough time to complete some of the less technically demanding tasks. This has left some campaign descriptions unfinished - which we cannot have! As such, we're asking for the help of you, the community, to aid us in composing campaign descriptions for some main areas like Technologies and Building lines where these are still scarce. If you have a major degree in history, consider yourself a history buff, love writing or simply would like to help the project, please contact me (Sheridan) on TWC.
