The Seleucid Empire emerged as one of the largest successor states to Alexander the Great's conquests, playing a pivotal role in disseminating Hellenistic culture across the Near East and beyond. Founded in 312 BC by Seleucus I Nicator, it initially spanned from Thrace and Anatolia in the west to the Indus Valley in the east, though eastern territories were soon ceded to local powers like the Mauryan Empire. At its height under Antiochus III (r. 222–187 BC), it encompassed the eastern Mediterranean, Mesopotamia, and parts of Iran and Central Asia. The Seleucids governed a multicultural populace through a formidable military - featuring innovative units such as Indian war elephants for shock tactics and heavily armored cataphract cavalry - alongside claims of divine kingship and the establishment of Greek-influenced cities, such as Antioch-on-the-Orontes, which evolved into a vibrant cultural hub. However, the empire grappled with internal dynastic conflicts, protracted wars against the Ptolemaic Kingdom (the Syrian Wars), and challenges in administering remote provinces. By the mid-third century BC, regions like Bactria (c. 250 BC) and Parthia (c. 247 BC) seceded, initiating gradual fragmentation. A major setback came with defeat by Rome at the Battle of Magnesia in 190 BC, followed by the Treaty of Apamea (188 BC), which stripped away western Anatolian holdings and imposed heavy indemnities. Persistent civil strife, rebellions (including the Maccabean Revolt, 167–160 BC), and incursions from Parthia and Armenia further diminished its power, culminating in Roman annexation of the remaining Syrian core in 64 BC by Pompey. Despite its eventual collapse, the Seleucid Empire endured for nearly 250 years and left an enduring legacy by blending Greek and Near Eastern traditions, influencing art, governance, and trade routes that shaped the Hellenistic and subsequent eras.

Yes that's the correct workflow Welcome to the forums and thanks for your interest in 0 A.D.

Currently the whole history-description of athens is: On my screen this covers 4 of 5 lines. If there is more then 5 lines there is a scrollbar. So don't worry about a too long text. While at it, the Seleucids could have a longer history-description. Currently it's only:

If I can provide a longer summary, I would suggest this: Ancient Athens rose to imperial power in the mid-fifth century BC after the Persian Wars by transforming the Delian League into the Athenian empire. This empire, which dominated the Aegean through tribute and naval supremacy, collapsed in 404 BC at the end of the Peloponnesian War. Athens later regained some influence in the fourth century BC through the Second Athenian League (378–355 BC) and remained a leading city-state. However, it lost its political independence after the defeat at the Battle of Chaeronea in 338 BC, when Philip II of Macedon imposed the League of Corinth upon Greece. Although Athens subsequently attempted to recover its autonomy -most notably during the Lamian War (323–322 BC), the Chremonidean War (267–261 BC), and its revolt in the First Mithridatic War (88–86 BC) - all efforts failed. The city never regained full sovereignty and eventually became a Roman protectorate.

You could just zip up the model and post it here in a comment.

Hi my friend, I can make them available without any problem. Just tell me who I should send the files to. Regarding the bodies, they are nude and I create the clothing over them. If I'm not mistaken, the women have about 6 different bodies where I alternate between clothes and accessories.

Those are very good improvements indeed.

Is that a custom model for the body? Looking specifically at the skirt length. These are really well done btw.

I've been gone for long, last played in 2021 and I'm ready to make some new moves in this game, Do people want tournaments with cash prizes still cause i'd be willing to host them again

Oh hey! Can you make that "half skirt" female model available for the base game? I'm thinking it could be used for Persians and potentially Nomads (Scythians, Xiongnu, Huns).

Sorry for that

From Gitea. Ok, I managed to compile everything without errors just now. The issue was that the old version (3.0.5) was essentialy bugged for windows - created path ('../../../lib/ vc_lib / mswu /wx/setup.h') had spaces inside. The solution was to download the latest stable version (3.2.9) and compile Win32. First i downloaded development release (3.3.1) which only has x64 (I didn't notice it wasn't stable lol) and it didn't work, so i thought i have to to use the old version. Thanks for trying to help! Just to be clear - nowdays external contributors can fork gitea repo and make pull request?

EDIT: Deleted the other post, no need for two

Where did you get the source code for the main game ? (Just making sure you're not compiling something outdated)

ban Saidrdz sadly I can't participate because I think it the pauses in between might be too long for me.

Contents of the file: Since the wxWidgets library is quite large (~250MB for the include and lib files), and is not needed unless you want to compile Atlas, it is not included in SVN and should instead be installed manually: * Download the Windows source code from http://wxwidgets.org/downloads/ (at least version 3.0.4) * Open build\msw\wx_vc17.sln in Visual Studio 2022 (same version as used for the game) * Select the "Win32" platform * Select the "Debug" configuration * Build * Select the "Release" configuration * Build * Copy lib\ and include\ into the game's libraries\win32\wxwidgets folder then i executed update-workspaces.bat I noticed that there are some spaces in the path: '../../../lib/ vc_lib / mswu /wx/setup.h' In my most recent attempt i executed these commands to build the library : nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=release SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 nmake -f makefile.vc BUILD=debug SHARED=0 UNICODE=1 I'm reading this forum thread https://forums.wxwidgets.org/viewtopic.php?t=47200 to find a solution. I'll try adding MONOLITHIC=0 to the commands

I don’t see why it couldn’t be added to tips and tricks . as for the wording I think maybe fruit and crops (fruits being the date, banana , and berry bushes and crops being the wheat / rice / whatever else is added eventually)

Hello, Could you share the exact steps you followed? (links as well) You should be able to use a more recent version of wxwidgets on windows.

Thanks @hyperion! This is true for all civilizations, right? @Vantha@ShadowOfHassen Can this also be put into the tips&tricks section? In addition to that - maybe I haven't looked hard enough - but wouldn't it be generally useful having a table of contents or index for tips&tricks? If I am looking for something specific I have to skip through the already quite large list of tips (which I do like a lot and really appreciate, it but takes me quite some time to find things).

The gather rates for civilians: <food.fruit>1</food.fruit> <food.grain>0.5</food.grain> <food.meat>1</food.meat> <wood.tree>0.7</wood.tree> <wood.ruins>5</wood.ruins> <stone.rock>0.35</stone.rock> <stone.ruins>2</stone.ruins> <metal.ore>0.35</metal.ore> <metal.ruins>2</metal.ruins> Berries would sort of work as well as it's the most obvious type of food.fruit in the game.
