Economic historians point to the emergence of Feudalism here. he Roman Road to Feudal Serfdom ...was an imperial road. Monday, October 10, 2016 Donald J. Boudreaux Politics Ancient Rome Regulation Taxation Here’s a post from ten years ago; it features some important history from ancient Rome – history that’s important because of the relevant warning that it offers to us today, namely: government economic interventions in general, and mandated price controls in particular, are barbarous. Feudalism Sparked by Rome’s Regulations On pages 642-643 of Will Durant’s remarkable book Caesar and Christ(1944) he discusses Diocletian‘s economic policies. (Diocletian reigned from 282 to 305 A.D.) In years of peace Diocletian, with his aides, faced the problems of economic decay. To overcome depression and prevent revolution he substituted a managed economy for the law of supply and demand…. To ensure the supply of necessaries for the cities and the armies, he brought many branches of industry under complete state control, beginning with the import of grain; he persuaded the shipowners, merchants, and crews engaged in this trade to accept such control in return for government guarantee of security in employment and returns…. In 301 Diocletian and his colleagues [joint rulers of an administratively divided empire] issued an Edictum de pretiis, dictating maximum legal prices or wages for all important articles or services in the Empire…. The Edict was until our time the most famous example of an attempt to replace economic laws by governmental decrees. Its failure was rapid and complete." ------ It would be interesting to have a loyalty system with some units, if you raise taxes to a very high level your units lose loyalty and become foragids and bagaudae, like neutral player (Gaia). You could capture it again or they would simply walk around the map creating problems in exchange for money. You would have fewer units in exchange for money, it is like exchanging population space for money, Obviously it should have limits. Maybe it could be a mechanic on some single player map. ----- Durant goes on to explain how these economic regulations, combined with higher taxes, caused people to engage in unprecedented levels of hiding their productive activities from the state and in to fleeing Rome. Medieval feudalism, Durant argues, finds its chief root in the restrictions that Diocletian and his successors imposed as they attempted to tie people to the land in order to prevent them from fleeing: "It was probably to check this costly mobility, to ensure a proper flow of food to armies and cities, and of taxes to the state, that Diocletian resorted to measures that in effect established serfdom in fields, factories, and guilds [p. 644]." Durant concludes this discussion with the sorrowful observation that relatively few Romans protested, as they apparently were hoodwinked into believing that in exchange for their freedom they were gaining greater security. https://fee.org/articles/the-roman-road-to-feudal-serfdom/

Hunnish Mercenary It should be the improved version of Hippotoxotoi. Maybe swordmen (cavalry)when we have the secondary attack available.

There is no cease-fire as such. I don't know if changing perspective in the developer menu can change diplomacy.

This is all there is, this is all you see, this is the official forum and @wowgetoffyourcellphone is the creator. There is no discord server because we do not belong to that generation that uses discord. I have used it but, this is our home, this forum.

Yes that file exists in Windows.

I am working to bring you a great diversity of cultures in the form of factions and mercenaries, including the concept of mini-factions. As I am living in Central America it is up to me to bring you the Mayans as I can show you plants, animals and geography as well as biomes. I know that our players always ask for new exotic and flashy things. I moved this year to a tourist town .Here I have more possibilities to record nature.

The Huns only used infantry as auxiliaries. Despite contemporary and modern popular opinion that the mounted archers of the Huns wore no armor, it is currently believed they did indeed wear it during battlefield confrontations. However, the Huns favored scale or lamellar armor and not the mail that was becoming more prevalent throughout the fourth and fifth centuries. This preference is remarked on by several late Roman writers who seem surprised by it, perhaps giving an indication that scale armor was not considered to be as protective as mail at the time, or perhaps they believed the Huns should have been able to afford the more expensive mail coats. A simpler answer could be that mail was more fashionable among Romans than scale, but the opposite was true with the Huns. One late Roman author, writing in the fifth century, also describes a Hun who wore no sleeves on his scale armor, provoking some surprise. This might indicate a general trend, especially among these mounted archers who may have thought the weight and bulkiness of such armor impeded their ability to fire their bows accurately. No doubt both scale armor with or without sleeves was used by Huns; again, there was no standardization. https://www.google.com/amp/s/about-history.com/the-weapons-armor-and-tactics-of-the-fearsome-huns-which-dominated-europe-and-asia/%3famp?espv=1

Related with Goths , Vandals https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gothic_and_Vandal_warfare Late Roman representational evidence, including propaganda monuments, gravestones, tombs, and the Exodus fresco, often shows Late Roman soldiers with one or two spears; one tombstone shows a soldier with five shorter javelins.[48][49] Archaeological evidence, from Roman burials and Scandinavian bog-deposits, shows similar spearheads, though the shafts are rarely preserved.[50][51] Aside from the traditional mail and scale armour of Roman armies, it also known from archaeological finds that the Goths and Vandals commonly used lamellar armour. Constructed of overlapping metal plates laced together, lamellar was more rigid than mail or scale armour and offered considerably greater protection against blunt force trauma from weapons such as maces or axes, commonly used by heavy cavalry of the time. Late Roman representational evidence sometimes still shows Roman swords.[52][53] Archaeological evidence shows that the gladius has disappeared; various short semispathae supplement the older pugiones[54][55] while medium-long spathae replace the medium-short gladii.[52][56] These have the same straight double-edged blades as older Roman swords.[57][58] Representational evidence and recovered laths, as well as arrowheads and bracers, show Roman use of composite bows.[59][60] Representational evidence, recovered bosses, and some complete shields from Dara, show that most Roman infantry and some Roman cavalry carried shields.[61][62] Although the representational evidence, including gravestones and tombs, usually shows soldiers without armor, the archaeological evidence includes remains of scale armor, mail armor, and helmets. Philippe Richardot in his book La Fin De L’armée Romaine (284-476) wrote that the Alans fighting for Aetius at Chalons would have looked a lot different to the Alans that fought with Saphrax and Alatheus at Adrianople as they would have been armed & equipped with Roman equipment but they probably would have still used the classic steppe tactics though with feigned retreats and massed disciplined charges a feature of their style of warfare. They probably faced Alans fighting for Attila as some Alan tribes submitted to the Huns and there were a lot of Alan/Sarmatian connections with Greuthungi Goths & the Amali rulers, who fought with Attila at Chalons. Apparently Attila was angry with the leader of the Alans, Sangiban as he thought there was an agreement where Sangiban was supposed to surrender Orleans to Attila thereby allowing the Hunnic army to cross the Loire river and raid Visigoth territory so there was still contact between Alans to a degree, on both sides of the fence in 451AD. The Roxolani were famous for the use of the contus and the long heavy sword but the Iazyges, as noted by Cassius Dio used a shorter lance and carried shields, probably because they had more contact with their neighbours the Quadi in regards to weaponry and fighting tactics as the Quadi would have by contact with the Iazyges with cavalry playing an important role in their forces. So in a nutshell there are lots of reasons why the Alans changed over time, just a couple of generations I think. The Romans did not allow large groups of Alans or Sarmatians to settle in Roman territory only small groups with favoured leaders in an attempt to play one group against another. Of course the wealthier leadership of the Alans would have fared better than the poorer ones with larger landholdings and tenant farmers to do the work & they could afford quality horses & maintain their equestrian skills with hunts and falconry. 8-) https://www.romanarmytalk.com/rat/showthread.php?tid=18685 About Huns, Alans, Sarmatians and Xiongnu.

Alan Infantry This Lombard but share same armor and equipment with Huns. The armor is like that of the Chinese, Lamellar.

Sassanid Infantry Is very light but with interesting shield.

And Centurion with Celtic helmet

Add Italiotes Greco-Italic tribes like Tarentum, Apulia, Croton https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italiotes https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Italiote_league https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_Graecia

I found a good candidate for the Roman. Check the she wolf head in Aspis shield.

Very entertaining. I like that you make the action look good, even with fast speed.

Sertorius Helmet

Maybe some Celtic helmets

Suggestion : Support unit https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sophist The Sophist means wise man. The Greek word σοφός, sophos, 'a wise man' is related to the noun σοφία, sophia, 'wisdom'. Since the times of Homer it commonly referred to an expert in his profession or craft. Charioteers, sculptors, or military experts could be referred to as sophoi in their occupations. The word has gradually come to connote general wisdom and especially wisdom in human affairs such as politics, ethics, and household management.

Yes is like to split a single faction in several variations or versions. These changes are subtle. In what IV is talking about factions.In our game, what is already thought about factions is to talk about their variant factions or versions. For example, this problem of variation would be excellent to settle the problem of the third century with the Romans. That it has been planned to have three Romes and not four. So, for example, Aurelian's Rome would be a variant of imperial Rome. For example, we would have a more African Carthage and less about mercenaries.
