hey mates
firstly i want to congratulate you in making such a marvelous mod
secondly i think it would be more fun if u can add some cities in arabia such as
the city of The Prophet Saleh Known as (Madian) and the great city of The Tribe Of Ad'd Called (Eram)
the first one was founded in the north of (the holy city of Medina and south of Tabuk)
from over 5000 years ago, this city was really full of wonders ! they say that the tribe of The Prophet Saleh have built their houses inside the mountains !
the second one was founded in the east of (the Region of Zufar) (Sultanate of Oman)
by king (Shadad Son Of Ad'd) from over 5500 years ago, in history there was no such city greater than this city, full of every meaning of civilization and the houses in this city was built from pure diamonds ! they say that over 30000 workers have built this magnificent city !
and here is some pics and maps
please i want to see these two cities in the mod.

Also i have some ideas about adding persia as an independent tribe in the game as the coming new power in late 600 B.C in asia (Starting with Cyrus Revolution in south of Persia = Perspolis)
(it will be just like the coming of the mongols in medieval 2 total war)
with a new faction As Persia ! sounds great, right ?

Adding some events like
Israels carried captive into Media after defeat by Sargon II in about 722 B.C
The Phrygians Overrun Anatolia about 720 B.C
The birth of Zoroaster in 660 B.C,
Birth of Achaemenes about 650 B.C
Nebuchadnezzar Takes the throne of Babylon 605 B.C
Nebuchadnezzar Sacks Jerusalem and destroy israel in 587 B.C
The Defeat Of The Last King Of Media Astyages By Cyrus The Great in about 580 B.C
Death Of Nebuchadnezzar in about 561 B.C

*Lastly*
1.before the fall of egypt in 525 B.C by the persians, egypt have used the greeks and kushs in defending the eastern borders (Sinai) for that you must add some greek and kush warriors to egypt
2.the medians have used the heavily armoured spearmen for the first time in asia so i sugguest adding Median Heavy Spearman as a unique unit for media , also the indian elephants.
that was some of my ideas to improve the mod
i hope u like it...

you can do the holly temple of isreal as a fortress or somthing like that.
in adition you can also do the Ark of the Covenant as if he was the cross in kingdom of jerusalem which will raise the moral of the soldiers.

As you might have noticed, the Babylonian and Assyrian units were of a better quality (though still not 'perfect') than that of say Egypt, or Judah. So without giving too much away, we'll be releasing another preview soon to show that we're reworking our old units...nothing.

Watching a show about Qatna on NATGEO and looked it up. From what I see Assyria hadn't conquered western syria yet after their defeat at Qarqar in 854 and didn't take the levant until the 700s so it could be useful for the rebel Syrian settlements in the area.

Ardashir: If you want to play a Persian mod, go play Rise of Persia for RTW. Also, your information was interesting until you said there was no such greater city, and that it was built with diamonds, which are both lies. Arabia has always been a land that no one cares about. The reason why the Egyptians, the Hittites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, the Persians, the Greeks, the Romans, and every other empire, INCLUDING the mongols and timurids didn't bother to invade Arabia or make it into a province was because it wasn't worth the effort. Sparse lands and small populations, along with a vast desert of nothingness was what kept Arabia independent. A great city probably, but you insult every other culture that has produced far greater things than Arabia has by calling it the greatest city.

Wow, this mod looks exactly like what i've been looking for. Might I humbly suggest that the Lydians and Skythians also be included? Perhaps Carthage could be an emerging faction? What about the Sea Peoples?

Anyway, i'd really like to help with this mod anyway i can, though i have little experience modding. If there's anything i can do to help let me know it.

Thank you very much for your kind words. I'm afraid that Carthage however is a bit to far to the west and the Sea Peoples had already left the stage when our mod starts.

Anyway, i'd really like to help with this mod anyway i can, though i have little experience modding. If there's anything i can do to help let me know it.

We have a forum for public research and so if there's anything you would like to share please feel free to post it.
