This mod will behold the beginning of advanced civilisations at around 2500 BC. This was a part of the early bronze-age. At this time at near east (modern Irak) which was the old paradise of the bible, in Egypt and at the Indus-River the first Empires grew up...This was the time of the deluge and the empires afterwards. The time of Gilgamesh alias Nimrod and his "Tower of Bab-Ilu", and the Pyramids.

i wish you good luck , seems very promising


do you currently have all modding areas covered (2D, 3D, mapping, scripting..etc) or there's some lack?

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

I think you should also add the "Phononecians" as they signified a big step in civilization: writing
( could do a whole sequence of historic events about the birth of writing)

[Swagger]

"Phononecians"

Phoenicians?

[Odoaker]

@ druvatar

The phoenicians appeared at 1200BC, that's 1300 years after this mod. Here you will find their ancestors, the Canaanites
The Phoenicians are the inventors of the Alphabet between 1200BC and 1000BC
First writing were invented by the Sumerians, Egypt and Meluhha...
You like to made a whole sequence of historic events about the birth of writing at 3200BC?

@ Swagger

Thank you very much!
hehe^^ I am dicsovering all modding areas at the time as well, but there are still heavy lacks
But my 2d arting seems to be enough for the faction symbols

[Horsa]

Sounds very interesting. I've always been fascinated with this time and place.

[MrConor]

This looks quite interesting, i think i will be going as Meluhha when it comes out.

[Automatix]

[Antiochos VII Sidetes]

Good luck on this mod. You certainly display startling initiative, and that's all the rarer for a random proposal such as this.

I'll be watching!

[Druvatar De Bodemloze]

@ Odoaker hey how are you how is your project? lets see how much progress you make! so let me understand clearly! finish your map and as I understand it you have base faction to modify chosen? well get back too ( feel free too p.m. me) I am more than willing to help you with this (I am working on my own project and Patria Libera and some other things intermittantly) but I will try and help you! I see promise in this but all good modders no modding is and can be easy just be focused and determined! good work so far! and when you actually have your map up and running post some screenshots and we`ll work towards factions and thier symbols

[EVYATAR]

nice idea!
i hope thet this mod will be releas!

Stephan it new for me thet you leader of other mod

[Odoaker]

I put Stephan to a second mod-leader, because he has experience with your nice mod "Shadows of Ishtar" in developing as opposed to me...

[Stephan]

i dont see myself as leader, its odoakers project. im just someone who oversees and helps wherever he cans
