Israel Total War (Gathered Info)

[Dea Paladin]

Israel Total War is a mod for RTW-BI about the lands of Israel and the wars of the ancient holy lands.


The Israel faction is going to start off as a group of nomads ready to invade the promised land of Canaan... it will have to battle numerous Caananate tribes to conquer the region... And that is where it all begins.. To the east lie the states of Ammon, Moab, and Edom that pose serious political, economical, and religious threats to Israel. To the west lies a new threat... the Philistines!!!! In Mesopotamia empires of the Assyrians, Babylonians, and the Meades are begining to grow... to the south, Egypt is striving to obtain its long lost glory, the Hittites are about to unleash! What will happen in the Holy Lands?

We are currently in great need of anyone interested in helping.

Currently we need:
Modelers (Desperatly since we dont have one yet)
Historians
Text editors, scripters
Mappers

God will also be included in the mod. He will appear as the senate and will be placed in an unreachable region. The israelite people may pray to, and worship pagan gods, which will result in God becoming very disapointed in his people.

[Nikich103]

Wouldn't the star of David be better ?

[Feragorn]

Just to let you know... No army had cav except the philistines (which weren't majorly influential during this period) and Egypt.

[Nikich103]

Wouldn't the star of David be better ?

yes..... i though so too, but if we wanted to make this more historical then we would have to change it.... the only thing I could think of was 2 angels.... if u have a better suggestion please share... the star of david wouldnt be historical because the mod starts a couple hundred yeats before David...

High fiving each other?

Yep!!!!!!!!! well, someone gave a suggestion to make a ray of light coming from their hands but i didnt like that

Just to let you know... No army had cav except the philistines (which weren't majorly influential during this period) and Egypt.

UM no ur wrong completly wrong Armies of this period did have calvary, and the philistines were majorly influencial during this time....

[Feragorn]

Read the bible. it's the best source of history on this period in israel.

[Nikich103]

um yes.... i know............ apparantly u dont read it at all...
"When Jabin king of Hazor heard of this, he sent word to Jobab king of Madon, to the kings of Shimron and Acshaph, 2 and to the northern kings who were in the mountains, in the Arabah south of Kinnereth, in the western foothills and in Naphoth Dor [a] on the west; 3 to the Canaanites in the east and west; to the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites and Jebusites in the hill country; and to the Hivites below Hermon in the region of Mizpah. 4 They came out with all their troops and a large number of horses and chariots—a huge army, as numerous as the sand on the seashore. 5 All these kings joined forces and made camp together at the Waters of Merom, to fight against Israel. " Joshua 11:1-5... Most Caananite tribes had both heavy chariots and horsemen...

"Moreover, David fought Hadadezer son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to restore his control along the Euphrates River. 4 David captured a thousand of his chariots, seven thousand charioteers [a] and twenty thousand foot soldiers. He hamstrung all but a hundred of the chariot horses." 2 Samuel 8:3-5 The Arameans had chariots and horses.

"Solomon accumulated chariots and horses; he had fourteen hundred chariots and twelve thousand horses, [a] which he kept in the chariot cities and also with him in Jerusalem." 1 Kings 10:26 And the Israelites also had chariots and horses.

ANd Assyrians also had chariots.... and Babylonians also had chariots....
or do all these nations don't count?

[BLACKfalco]

yes..... i though so too, but if we wanted to make this more historical then we would have to change it.... the only thing I could think of was 2 angels.... if u have a better suggestion please share...
