  1. I was watching a video about the martyrdom of the Sassanids. The video is obviously in Spanish but I know that some very interesting conclusions regarding religion and also Parthians. The video talks about how the persecution of Sassanids was much more brutal than the Roman persecutions. The video says: Also that the Parthians were completely tolerant towards Christianity. And not only towards Christianity also towards Manichaeism. In fact, it was more intolerant to practice Manichaeism than Christianity. Christianity was well established in Western Persia. During the 2th and 4th centuries, the Church spread much deeper into Persia. On the other side of the map, in Rome, the harassment of Christians was generally of a local character, that is, it was confined to a region. But there were two major periods of persecution, which encompassed the majority of the population. regions at the same time. These are the ones that emperors Decius and Valerian. [...] was much closer to the Christian faith than Roman polytheism. Zoroastrianism was a dualistic religion centered on the conflict between good and evil, and there were superficial similarities with Christianity, such as the belief in a messiah and in the judgment after death. As a result, Christians did not emphasizei n Persian society as much as they did in the pagan society of the Roman Empire. The political situation in Persia changed radically at the beginning of the 1st century. The major invasions by Roman forces fueled a popular rebellion against the Roman The political situation in Persia changed radically at the beginning of the 1st century. The major invasions by Roman forces fueled a popular rebellion against the Roman peaceful Parthian dynasty. The Sassanids, a regime much more authoritarian, they won popular favor. with the platform of keeping Persia safe from the Romans and, in 224, they took control. The Sassanids were strict Zoroastrians they became of this religion the national faith of Persia. This period also saw the emergence of Manichaeism, another form of dualism, which competed directly with Persian religion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martyrs_of_Persia_under_Shapur_II https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manichaeism
  2. Sorry I thought that when you removed(the content)it it would disappear from my quote.
  3. I don't know if anyone has noticed that bots always come back to this post to post here.
  4. Off topic but still... Definitive I want unconventional war units.
  5. That is always the problem. They will reject it and throw tantrums.... They have complained about less serious things. I'd rather have a burning hay wagon as a suicide unit.
  6. It occurs to me that it could be a unit that as it loses health increases the trample attack but only in melee mode. Something like a state of madness and chaos. But as it attacks it loses health fast. I wouldn't want it to be like the iberian fireship.
  7. Let's give it about 100 more years of glory. It would be replaced by the Cataphract as heavy melee unit in the history. Pontus would be the last to use it in the Mediterranean.
  8. 1. Bhadrasala: A Maurya general who challenged Ashoka before he became emperor. 2. Sushim: A nobleman and military commander who served under Ashoka's reign. 3. Pusyamitra: Not to be confused with Pushyamitra Shunga, he was a general who served under Ashoka's reign. 4. Bhadrasena: Another military commander who played an important role in the expansion of the Maurya empire.
  9. This what Chat From Chat GPT bot: Ah, I'm sorry! There seems to have been a mix-up. The Maurya dynasty had only nine known kings. However, if you are interested in prominent figures or leaders associated with the Maurya dynasty, I can mention some other relevant characters. Apart from the kings, there are figures like Chanakya, who was a sage, philosopher, economist and political strategist who played a crucial role in the founding of the Maurya Empire. There is also Ashoka's empress consort, Devi, who played a significant role in his reign. If you're looking for leaders in the broader sense, we could also talk about governors and military commanders who played a crucial role in the expansion and stability of the Maurya Empire. Just tell me what kind of leaders or figures you're looking for and I'll be happy to help! _--------- Devi is good choice. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Devi_(wife_of_Ashoka) But we can expand more the list according chat GPT.
  10. I don't like that it's going to be a suicide unit. Sound suitable for a trash unit. ----Which by the way gave me an idea for a suicide unit.----- Chariots were considered elite.
  11. Yes, but I need confirmation that this is the only wonder proposed for Macedonia, the others may well be eye candy. @Stan` It would be better move to finished tasks.
  12. Should this task be considered completed?
  13. According to Chat GPT 1. Chandragupta Maurya 2. Bindusara 3. Ashoka 4. Dasharatha Maurya 5. Samprati Maurya 6. Shaliastambha 7. Satadhanvan 8. Brihadratha Maurya 9. Devavarman .
  14. Is a Palace located in Pella or was. https://www.palaceofpella.gr/?lang=en
  15. I like how visually the cataphracts are explained in AoE 2. The video is in Spanish, it talks about trample damage, but visually the combat power is understood. The description said the cataphracts sweep through.
  16. My idea is that they were a unit with a dual role, melee and range.. With melee it would be like AoE 2 Cataphract. And with the range damage it would be another horse archer.
  17. The current one is capable but his advisors wouldn't let him.
  18. " I will" I think that phrase works well. It will depend on the language of each faction how it is heard. The shorter the sentence the better.
  19. There are many things that have not touched yet. For example techs for increase range of sight.(First it would have to be reduced)
  20. It must be clear that it is not exactly the same God. It must be clear that it is not exactly the same god but their equivalent. Nor can we say that one god's culture copied another; that does not exist in the ancient world. I am also a little into theology, mythology and things that have to do with the metaphysical world. Then I heard about an author who said that basically Zeus was a kind of Baal. Storm god who lives on a mountain. Or Marduk and Baal, even same mythological lore or almost same. The same thing happens, for example, in the Mediterranean with the mother goddess, among the most famous of which is Isis. Isis can be found from Spain to Arabia.
