  1. should i put this in the title and description?
  2. Umayyads (Omeyas) They need new building textures.
  3. we need a new Chinese faction for the mod.
  4. What about Auxiliary troops for Romans. it is more complex. you need a kind of military barracks and some republican units: auxiliary archer (cretan) , Numidian cavalry, Balearic slinger.
  5. edit: done. tri-color (three chromatic) v1 tri-color v2 bi-color (black-White) mono chromatic outline (white) mono chromtic outline v2 (black) mono chromtic @wowgetoffyourcellphone lopus-iberian.svg
  6. Sound democrat party slaving centroamericans ( call us migrants).
  7. almost the whole internet is like this since 2012. I tell you that I take in clandestine forums in Spanish. basically all the forums (reedits and 4chan clones) and the internet that is not the big tech are like that. except us our specialized forums..The rest of it that isn't trolls, fights or debates is porn.
  8. https://www.worldhistory.org/Serf/ I'm going to leave this here and not get into an argument.
  9. maybe we can have a mechanic like the scholars from Delhi Sultanate from AoE IV. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Scholar Units healed by a scholar gain +50% attack speed for 3 seconds with the Zeal technology. Scholars can also garrison inside military buildings, boosting production by 100% with the Efficient Production technology.
  10. Latin Virtus/Virtue us better for @AIEND concept. The term virtue in Latin (virtus) signifies power, strength, and ability. And even goodness. There are several things that differentiate the Middle Ages from the Ancient Ages and one of them is not exactly religion even though theological issues were still addressed. the only thing he achieved is that the issue of materiality went down the path of ascetism instead of the hedonistic path. From the Greco-Roman cosmological point of view there are two paths Refuse pleasures and escape to an austere life. Or Let yourself be carried away by worldly currents and accept all kinds of pleasure.
  11. we definitely do not have that same vision of medieval culture. It is difficult to subject all cultures to such abstract ideas. How would you define China and its surroundings in the middle ages, especially after the fall of the Han dynasty and the beginning of the dynasty Sui.
  12. Neoplatonism had an enduring influence on the subsequent history of philosophy. In the Middle Ages, neoplatonic ideas were studied and discussed by Christian, Jewish, and Muslim thinkers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neoplatonism philosophy goes hand in hand with religion in the medieval period. Those who could read the Bible and the Greek authors were the lords who could pay for their education, the feudal lords. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/medieval-philosophy/ The common people were tied to the clergy, and were still mired in pagan superstition. Liberal ideas would not appear until later with the Protestant Reformation and the printing press on the same dates. This way people could access philosophical and theological ideas, they would overthrow the ideas about kings and about the clergy. since it would replace the reign of the institutions, the monarchs and the clergy with the idea of the supremacy of the law. John Locke is an example of this new style of Christianity that sought to get rid of the Catholic idea and look for new ideas in the Bible. A more practical idea and away from pagan thought and classical thought . https://blog.supplysideliberal.com/post/2019/2/10/john-locke-on-the-supremacy-of-the-people-the-supremacy-of-the-legislature-over-the-executive-and-the-power-of-the-executive-to-deal-with-rotten-boroughs
  13. Since 0 AD doesn't pay any attention to Greek cosmology and religion, we ironically make everything so detailed except culture and religion. I'll get the concepts out first. and their explanations. -------- In every religion there is a This technology should unlock all religion in 0AD. I will start with the development of Greek and Roman religion. Cosmogony. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmogony This helps order the world in the minds of ordinary people. In the case of the Greeks, not being a centralized religion. They have multiple ideas. "There was no set Greek cosmogony, or creation myth. Different religious groups believed that the world had been created in different ways. One Greek creation myth was told in Hesiod's Theogony. It stated that at first there was only a primordial deity called Chaos, after which came various other primordial gods, such as Gaia, Tartarus and Eros, who then gave birth to more gods, the Titans, who then gave birth to the first Olympians." From here comes the conception of order. The thought of order emerges chaos and from chaos order is reborn. Interestingly, this is the point of the Greek view of time as a cycle. And from other religions as well. Other technology: The Greeks and Romans were literate societies, and much mythology, although initially shared orally, was written down in the forms of epic poetry. Oral tradition (all civilizations) And Epic Poetry. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epic_poetry Another important point is morality. One of the most important moral concepts to the Greeks was aversion to hubris. Hubris constituted many things, from rape to desecration of a corpse,[10] and was a crime in Athens. Although pride and vanity were not considered sins themselves, the Greeks emphasized moderation. Pride only became hubris when it went to extremes, like any other vice. The same was thought of eating and drinking. Anything done to excess was not considered proper. Ancient Greeks placed, for example, importance on athletics and intellect equally. In fact many of their competitions included both. Pride was not evil until it became all-consuming or hurtful to others. hubris referred to “outrage”: actions that violated natural order, or which shamed and humiliated the victim, sometimes for the pleasure or gratification of the abuser. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hubris The Greek word for sin, hamartia (ἁμαρτία), originally meant "error" in the ancient dialect, and so poets like Hesiod and Aeschylus used the word "hubris" to describe transgressions against the gods. In the Jewish tradition and the Jewish religion there is transgression(Peshá), sin (Khatá) means fail/error too, this is no coincidence, the other is iniquity(Avon)(this was not known by the Greeks). Religious Texts The Greeks had no religious texts they regarded as "revealed" scriptures of sacred origin, but very old texts including Homer's Iliad and Odyssey, and the Homeric hymns (regarded as later productions today), Hesiod's Theogony and Works and Days, and Pindar's Odes were regarded as authoritative[11] and perhaps inspired; they usually begin with an invocation to the Muses for inspiration. Plato even wanted to exclude the myths from his ideal state described in the Republic because of their low moral tone. finally comes something that no one takes importance of the Greek religion. The cults, it's almost like politics in ancient times. each political figure had their gods that were part of their image and their propaganda. Above I mentioned Augustus and Apollo. Here we can have a chain of technologies based on the cults. Mystery cults: While some traditions, such as Mystery cults, upheld certain texts as canonic within their praxis, such texts were respected but not necessarily accepted as canonic outside their circle. In this field, of particular importance are certain texts referring to Orphic cults: multiple copies, ranging from 450 BC–250 AD. WIP...
  14. I get the point, but religion is very primitive in this part of history and it's not much different from the earlier period. The part of medieval thought comes from Aristotelianism and Hellenistic thought. ( No all man born to be free, no all men are equal, some born to rule and other to be slave). Especially in the west. The Byzantines are more into Eastern thought. In is Islam they go back to the time of the law of Moses. And every action goes eye for an eye. European medieval thought is trapped by rule of institutions and kings. The greatest contribution of this era are the copyists and the scribes. In the case of religion there are 3 non-Christian elements that move it. Gnosis is to say thought of Eastern religions that were mixed with Greek philosophy. Gnosis is based on asceticism thinking. (The material world is bad, I must flee from it). https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asceticism The pagan heritage, the only thing that advanced was that they no longer sacrificed animals..They continued to rely on charms to combat curses. (This originated in Egypt many millennia ago). The Christianity of this time quite limited. They continued with the idea of needing priests.
  15. this is good output. It's a good idea, it's the best way to solve it.
  16. For example, if we have archers with fire damage. This would need to be considered.
  17. It would be excellent to propose a rework of this. how is it going with the changing default capture?
  18. WIP I need to balance everything, it's not symmetrical but first I had to add some objects to the composition. it lacks symmetry. balance.
  19. I came up with this idea after watching some videos about technology like Greek fire. For example the favor and me could not exist without the siphons perfected in the 3rd century B.C. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon And I would like here more than a whole discussion of ideas that can be included and that cannot be included. Interesting for example which characters like Caesar Augustus Includes in some religious technologies. Like cult to Apollo https://ancient-history-blog.mq.edu.au/cityOfRome/ApolloBlog https://mythopedia.com/topics/apollo-roman During the reign of Augustus (31 BCE–14 CE), the first emperor of Rome, the cult of Apollo witnessed a surge in popularity and importance. Much of this could be attributed to the emperor himself, who believed Apollo favored his cause in the long civil war against the republicans and Marcus Antonius. The final battle of the Roman civil war, the naval battle of Actium in 31 BCE, took place next to one of Apollo’s temples in mainland Greece. To repay the debt he thought he owed, Augustus dedicated spoils to Apollo and constructed a new temple in his honor on the Palatine Hill.
