Chapter 2: Revenge You have had to flee Tyre, along with your most loyal supporters and adventurers seeking glory in battle. Stricken by grief due to the murder of your husband, you decide to pay a visit to an Assyrian fort on the way to Cyprus - and not just any fort, one that currently hosts the general Abibaal as an ambassador, who is (secretly) your brother's lover. You will have your revenge! Your objectives are to establish a settlement and raise an army to kill or capture Abibaal. Abibaal is bound to be located in one of the civil centres in the Assyrian fortress. You must search for him and have your revenge! Screenshots from game play and a view of enemy fortress: There are multiple ways to win, some smarter than others

I think the fact we used famous names was to give an incentive for people to learn about them Just like Pyhric victory in Medieval 2 Total War made me wonder about Pyhrus

Added a small update to the wiki page.

Two things? 1. Could we set it up that you lose if Phillip/Alexander dies? If I remember I had him die and I could still play 2. Do you think some sort of dialog could be added in game? When I tried a play through, I found it somewhat difficult (I kept forgetting what to do) furthermore it was somewhat bland on the story side of things, which is what I think is necessary for a campaign. I am more than willing to add the dialog, myself, if it's possible. I'd also like to take a swing at the in between level descriptions to try to get them in a more narrative tone. If you'd like, I can show you what I mean.

They are undocumented at https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/ParticleFormat. I just tried to do so but after trying to pass the the captcha about 20 times without success I give up

Hey @Allan You need to add the following tag to your particle effect: <use_relative_velocity/> So in your case: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <particles> <texture>art/textures/particles/flame.png</texture> <blend mode="add"/> <start_full/> <use_relative_velocity/> <constant name="emissionrate" value="20.0"/> <uniform name="lifetime" min="1.0" max="1.5"/> <uniform name="velocity.x" min="-2" max="-2.5"/> <uniform name="velocity.y" min="-0.3" max="0.3"/> <uniform name="velocity.z" min="2" max="2.5"/> <uniform name="velocity.angle" min="-3.14" max="3.14"/> <uniform name="size" min="1.0" max="2.0"/> <uniform name="color.r" min="0.8" max="1.0"/> <copy name="color.g" from="color.r"/> <copy name="color.b" from="color.r"/> </particles> I removed the following line in my screenshot for it to be straight. <uniform name="velocity.x" min="-2" max="-2.5"/>

I don't really understand the trapezoid in the minimap. As you can see the marked rabbits are in the top half of my screen while their dots are in the lower half of the trapezoid. (Especially the wabbits can be hard to spot.)

Their punches and especially their kicks can be pretty mean. Of course then we also need a war emu! Should there actually someone who doesn't know: the Australians once fought a war against the emus - and lost. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emu_War

In my opinion, this is a terrible idea. First, because most of our evidences, archaeologically and historically, are related to the Odrysians. Second, because this is incoherent, we don't do the same for other cultures. Else, why not dividing Getae and Dacians? The same for Illyrians with the Autariatae, Dalmatiae, Dardani, Ardiaei etc.

Mardonius is a notable general who is not included in the Persian list. Cyrus the Younger is also not represented. Tissaphernes, a prominent satrap could also be a leader. At the moment Persia basically just uses monarchs as leaders. Satraps, princes, and generals would also be reasonable candidates. I have little to say for the Seleucid and Maurya Empires unfortunately.
