  1. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sicels I don't know if they are related. The Sicels (/ˈsɪkəlz, ˈsɪsəlz/ SIK-əlz, SISS-əlz; Latin: Sicelī or Siculī) were an Indo-European tribe who inhabited eastern Sicily, their namesake, during the Iron Age. They spoke the Siculian language. After the defeat of the Sicels at the Battle of Nomae in 450 BC and the death of Sicel leader Ducetius in 440 BC, the Sicel state broke down and the Sicel culture merged into Magna Graecia. Sicel leader, Ducetius, was able to create an organised Sicel state as a unitary domain in opposition to Greek Syracusa, including several cities in the central and south of the island. After a few years of independence, in 450 BC, his army was defeated by the Greeks in the Battle of Nomae and he died ten years later. Without his charisma, the movement collapsed and the increasingly Hellenized culture of the Sicels lost its distinctive character. But in the winter of 426/5 Thucydides noted the presence among the allies of Athens in the siege of Syracuse of Sicels who had "previously been allies of Syracuse, but had been harshly governed by the Syracusans and had now revolted". (Thucydides 3.103.1) Aside from Thucydides, the Greek literary sources on Sicels and other pre-Hellenic peoples of Sicily are to be found in fragmentary scattered quotes from the lost material of Hellanicus of Lesbos and Antiochus of Syracuse
  2. The descendants of the first colonists, called Gamoroi, held power until they were expelled by the lower class of the city assisted by Cyllyrians, identified as enslaved natives similar in status to the helots of Sparta.[18][19] The former, however, returned to power in 485 BC, thanks to the help of Gelo, ruler of Gela. Gelo himself became the despot of the city, and moved many inhabitants of Gela, Kamarina and Megara to Syracuse, building the new quarters of Tyche and Neapolis outside the walls. Here is material for the following maps. Enemies and above all a conflict to resolve. About Cyllyrians: After this stroke of good fortune, Gelon brought back from the town of Casmena to Syracuse both the so-called landed gentry of Syracuse, who had been driven into exile by the common people, and their slaves, the Cyllyrians. He then took possession of that city also, for the Syracusan common people surrendered themselves and it to Gelon at his coming. Herodotus, with an English translation by A. D. Godley. Cambridge. Harvard University Press. 1920. https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0126%3Abook%3D7%3Achapter%3D155%3Asection%3D2
  3. I am not opposed to Syracuse idea, it will be the same, but there must be enemies for it to be functional.
  4. Some sources speak of 734 BC: Syracuse was settled about 734 bce by Corinthians led by the aristocrat Archias, and the city soon dominated the coastal plain and hill country beyond. The original Greek settlers of the city formed an elite (gamoroi), while the Sicel natives (Siculi) worked the land as an oppressed class. https://www.britannica.com/place/Syracuse-Italy
  5. it dates back long after the first campaigns. There is also already an Alexander's campaign in progress. Furthermore, Alexander did not found cities until after many battles. Mostly in Asia. Aristotle was not Alexander's only tutor. The problem is that the Athenians, Spartans and Persians all date from before 500 BC. The only relevant fact is this one regarding a city in Greece. "Refugees from Teos resettle Abdera". https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdera,_Thrace https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/5th_century_BC In 499 the Ionian rebellion begins. There is not much history before 499 BC.
  6. Watch the Empirre Earth video and it looks like our idea.
  7. https://empireearth.fandom.com/wiki/Learning_Campaign Empire Earth Learning campaign. Again, history is not as relevant as in the campaigns.
  8. @Genava55's idea could be Challenge campaign. Our art of war versión.
  9. https://ageofempires.fandom.com/wiki/Ascent_of_Egypt That's why my intention was for it not to be something relevant. They are easy fights and city building.
  10. I don't think the campaign should be that complex, the history Bar should be practically nonexistent, so the player can focus on learning the mechanics. That idea is a good story, but it might be better suited as a normal campaign People won't notice that, it's just a background story. I didn't even notice the story behind the Egypt learning campaign in AoE I. It's like the Empire Earth ones, I don't remember the story behind it either. There will be no cinematics and it will be pretty freeform except for locked technologies and units.
  11. If you pay attention this story is linked to Egypt, Kushites, Persians and the Greeks obviously.
  12. There is the idea of the Greek colony in Cyrene. Cyrene, also sometimes anglicized as Kyrene, was an ancient Greek colony and Roman city near present-day Shahhat in northeastern Libya in North Africa. It was part of the Pentapolis, an important group of five cities in the region, and gave the area its classical and early modern name Cyrenaica. By the fifth century BC, they had expanded their control over the other cities of Cyrenaica. It became the seat of the Cyrenaics, a school of philosophy in the fourth century BC, founded by Aristippus, a disciple of Socrates. In the Hellenistic Age, the city alternated between being part of Ptolemaic Egypt and the capital of an independent kingdom. It was also an important Jewish hub. In 96 BC, it passed to the Roman Republic and became part of the province of Crete and Cyrenaica. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyrene,_Libya
  13. Of course not, I don't even know about integrations. I only have Empire Earth installed. +++++ I didn't know there was a wish list, they should have come here instead.
  14. https://gitea.wildfiregames.com/0ad/0ad/pulls/7139 Based on this post about increasing chickens, you should do the same with rabbits.
  15. Why don't we make a topic just about Germanic symbols? Then we choose for various factions, it can serve as banners, flags, emblems, mini map symbols. It is not precisely the last German faction that will be made.
  16. I was thinking... How many sub-tribes are there in this faction? can we make a technology to get other factions from a parent faction? How many mercenaries and other units can you field? Each could specialize in a dynamic, something like embassies and Roman reform. You choose between 2-3 tribes and reform the army, it's like the Seleucid reform.
  17. https://www.imperivm.org/vidas-paralelas-gayo-mario-por-plutarco/ Lives Marius by Plutarch. Spanish version. It's easier for me to read it in my native language.
