About Amazons. Herodotus, with his usual flare, tells a remarkable story of how the Amazons came to be with the Scythians which makes a great deal more sense when one understands that the nomadic Scythians were later arrivals and the Amazons were part of an earlier civilization still existing to the south of the Black Sea but in constant threat from the Greeks as the accounts of many battles suggest. He recounts that after the Battle of Thermodon, several galleys carrying Amazon prisoners were retaken by the captives and the women came ashore in the land of Scythia on the north shore of the Black Sea They engaged some of the Scythians in combat who upon discovering that the dead were actually women decided not to try to kill the newcomers but woo them instead. They eventually approached them unarmed and the two groups decided to merge but not without negotiations. The Amazons refused to live as Scythian women, they would not give up their place in society so their new Scythian husbands agreed and asked for their inheritance to be given them and they left for lands to the northeast. This story seems to tell of a merging of the nomadic Scythians with the earlier matriarchal society and their migration away from the patriarchal societies rising to power to the south and eventually the entire world. http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/tattooed-scythian-warriors-descendants-amazons-part-two-001158 The Ice Maiden. Also called Princess of Ukok or Altai Princess. Her mummified body was found in 1993 in a kurgan (burial mound) of the Pazyryk in what is now known as the Republic of Altai. “She was dressed in a long shirt made from Chinese silk, and had long felt sleeve boots with a beautiful decoration on them. Chinese silk before was only found in ‘Royal’ burials of the Pazyryk people - it was more expensive than gold, and was a sign of a true wealth. 'There was jewellery and a mirror found by the log. The great value of Pazyryk burials is that they were all made in permafrost, which helped the preservation. It was quite unusual to have a single Pazyryk burial. Usually men from this culture were buried with women. In this case, her separate burial might signify her celibacy, which was typical for cult servants or shamans, and meant her independence and exceptionality. She had no weapons buried with her, or on her, which means that she certainly was not one of the noble Pazyryk women-warriors. Most likely, she possessed some special knowledge and was a healer, or folk tale narrator. Her head was completely shaven, and she wore a horse hair wig. On top of the wig there was a symbol of the tree of life - a stick made from felt, wrapped with black tissue and decorated with small figures of birds in golden foil. The princess’s face and neck skin was not preserved, but the skin of her left arm survived, and we saw a tattoo, going all along it. She had tattoos on both arms, from shoulders to wrists, with some on the fingers, too. The best preserved of all was a tattoo on her left shoulder, featuring a deer with griffon’s beak and a Capricorn’s horns. A bit below is a sheep, with a snow leopard by its feet. It is said tattoos, once done, are for life. In this case, though, it was a whole lot longer. The experts say they were made with paint, partially concocted from the burned bits of plants, their soot or ashes which contained a high level of potassium. The drawings were pierced with a needle, and rubbed with a mixture of soot and fat.” (Siberian Times) She died between 20 and 30 years of age, she was around 1.65 metres tall, and the cause of death is unknown, the only sure thing is that there are no traumas present on her skull or on her bones. The mummified remains of the “Ice Maiden,” a Scytho-Siberian woman who lived on the Eurasian Steppes in the 5th century BC, were found undisturbed in a subterranean burial chamber. From Wikipedia The Pazyryk culture is a Scythian Iron Age archaeological culture (c. 6th to 3rd centuries BC) identified by excavated artifacts and mummified humans found in the Siberian permafrost, in the Altay Mountains, Kazakhstan and nearby Mongolia. The mummies are buried in long barrows (or kurgans) similar to the tomb mounds of western Scythian culture in modern Ukraine. The type site are the Pazyryk burials of the Ukok Plateau.(NOVA 2007) Many artifacts and human remains have been found at this location, including the Siberian Ice Princess, indicating a flourishing culture at this location that benefited from the many trade routes and caravans of merchants passing through the area.(State Hermitage Museum 2007) The Pazyryk are considered to have had a war-like life.(Jordana 2009) Other kurgan cemeteries associated with the culture include those of Bashadar, Tuekta, Ulandryk, Polosmak and Berel. There are so far no known sites of settlements associated with the burials, suggesting a purely nomadic lifestyle.

http://newobserveronline.com/how-the-scythians-vanished/ so they have Tatoos? And they are from Europe? The Amazons...

This must be their elite warriors. look like somebody makes its own 3d models for Total War. http://exilian.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=2938.75

Have sense... I thought the same... but if they dont have properly defense need an alternative. we need keep in mind victory conditions. by structures and by units.

Scythians Camp https://smallsagas.wordpress.com/my-armies/dba-i43-cimmerian-scythian-or-early-hu/ if this not gorgeous pic... I'm not sure what is. its like to travel in time.

ok we need define that now. which buildings werre replaced by a Oxcart, may be Storehouses...

so this kind of tents is called Yurts, with what is it exactly a Yurt? some History...

OK I found, isn't planned(or have a ticket) but exist the concept in the trac. http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Background%3A_Weather

and their units are own looking but with influence by their neighbors. this process is know as transculturation. Transculturation is a term coined by Cuban anthropologist Fernando Ortiz in 1947[1] to describe the phenomenon of merging and converging cultures. OK this mean , have Greek, and Iranian(Persian) clothes and stuff. see the armor and helmet or caps/hood.

the CC must be something like this.

Now the building Concept. even can be easy have a variant of this one and each building only are determinated by props.

Never mind, isn't my mother language neither . probably you know English better than me. I'm not sure, may be create an alternative version. and the cities start as Gaia and can be captured.(can be the first one map with this mechanic)

I found the first problem. the padding and the height, I'm not familiar with "em" display : black? can be ... these codes give an idea isn't have a properly mobile version in the HTML. the HTML can call CSS style in some cases.

C. I can do it in many professional text editors, even Indesing by Adobe to create a high Standar profesional PDF. but this can be nice do it with a finished relese, in other words now don't care. this can be useful text give to donators. I suggested this before. and add conceptual work art in them. its can be possibly call from translation string to plane TXT or HTML? they idea was given by @fabio in #3802

yeah the actually system only emulates a cycle of day don't have variant by weather.

Its not Romanian , Its Roman. I know the origin of Romanian is closet to Roman ( because was part of a Roman province) but that term isn't correct.sorry for the off topic. now returning by the topic can be nice use this maps as nomad game style starting with a dock or give enoght resources to build one.

interesting... the cattle can fatten like AOM and Husbandry can give 30% more of that. http://ageofempires.wikia.com/wiki/Husbandry_%28Age_of_Mythology%29 @wowgetoffyourcellphone at this point I need your opinion. and I give to you another idea about art concept. first as art designer I need have solid defense of my own concept. Archeologically acepted.

at this point, may be we need a new game system. to reproduce or train cattle.

Clay models of Scythian covered wagons recovered from archaeological sites in the Crimea. Dated about 600 BC. From "Die Welt der Skythen" by Renate Rolle, 1980.

first as some user agreed, a mobile town center I know isn't the best image or more accurate, but have sense or an idea. http://www.karakalpak.com/yurthistory.html

Look like a problem with CSS style, may be the menu is sticky to same position or the other possibility is don't have its own space. May be given a look in devs mode.

In empire earth 2 you have two two kind of Heroe system, one made by his kills ( you know the confirmed kills in the real life) and other given by crowns given for player merits. The first is like a normal unit with boosted skills and the other have abilities. the officer can be like the first but with abilities, raised by own soldiers to give the other boost in battle, the national kings would be risen by your own player skills ( baased in glory) or trained by traditional method.

0A.D is represent with a light by a sunny day. And the engine don't have a cloudy one.
