  1. Cilician Epibatoi (Cilician Swords) Note: We can the mix of infantry with cilician pirates, pikeman, skirmisher and sword. Cilician pirates got a long tradition of raiding behind them. Those boarding troops could also use their skills in a regular melee. Native troops supported the Greek phalanxes of Ptolemaic Egypt. Brave and proud warriors, Egyptians fulfilled several roles, but were most commonly used as peltasts, skirmishers on the flanks of the phalanxes, or as non-phalanx infantry in difficult terrain. Although the Ptolemies adopted all the trappings of the Pharaohs and their religious infrastructure, there was still much unrest among the native population long after the succession. This was due mainly to the way the Greek overlords used the traditions of the Pharaohs to fill their coffers at the expensive of ordinary people. The core of Ptolemaic armies was always Greek until the Battle of Raphia in 217BC, when they faced such a large Seleucid force that Ptolemy IV was forced to muster some 30,000 native Egyptians for the first time. Need overcame suspicion of the disenchanted natives. The performance of the Egyptians in battle eventually led to a greater proportion of native troops in the Egyptian army and, in time, more diverse roles for those men as they gained the trust of their Greek commanders.
  2. Illyrian mercenaries. http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showthread.php?378102-RTR-VII-Preview-III-The-Ardiae This are very rare units mix celtic with Greek. Very exotic. The Illyrian Grosphomachoi are effective and renowned skirmishers, pirates and raiders. These hardy warriors are found in Illyrian armies as capable skirmishers, quickly moving across the battlefield to harass enemy formations, occupy key points, or conduct ambushes. Armed with heavy throwing spears, and a large Celtic-style theuros shield for protection, these men are capable of close fighting with their secondary weapon, a small one-handed axe. Unarmoured except for simple bronze pot helmets, these troops will not stand for long in close melee with heavy infantry, but are well matched against enemy light troops. Hoplite Dalmatae These men are usually simple farmers, seafarers and pastoralists, who are mustered for war by their chieftains and war leaders with the promise of slaves and booty, or perhaps the need to defend their homeland from invasion. Politically, the organization of indigenous groups in Illyria was deeply rooted in its kinship structure, rather than in the development of the more sophisticated institutions of the polis or kingdom. Although the thuereophoroi type of heavy skirmisher only became popular in Greece after 280 BC, it was a long-standing type of warrior in Illyria. Illyria was famous for its pirates, who typically prowled the Adriatic Sea in their small lemboi, simple biremes that may have held as few as 50 men. Fleets of these lemboi were able to sail into Greek and Italian waters, and disgorge their crew, who, armed as Grosphomachoi, were able to quickly move inland and pillage coastal regions before a coordinated defence could be mounted. These are the standard line infantry of the Illyrians, and they fight as close order spearmen, armed with thrusting spears (dory), round theuros-style shields, and carrying a simple sword - the distinctive Illyrian sicca - as a secondary weapon. Largely unarmoured except for a simple helm, these warriors rely on their shield, mobility and fighting prowess for protection. Although equipped with the Celtic-style theuros, these men still fought as close order spearmen, in a phalanx formation. The appearance of the theuros became widespread among the Illyrians from c. 280 BC. At this time Illyria came under the strong influence of the expansion of La Tene cultural templates from Central Europe, and the most significant exponents were the Celtic Taurisci and the Scordsici. These Illyrian warriors were recruited in large numbers from among the men of the southern Illyrian tribes, and formed the backbone of the Illyrian armies that threatened Macedonia and Greece throughout the fourth and third centuries BC. Although these men operated as raiders and freebooters, they were capable of rapidly concentrating their strength and forming strong battle lines with which to confront their Epierote and Macedonian enemies in open battle. The Illyrians in 233 BC had no compunction about charging a larger Aitolian army (the League's whole levy), brushing aside their light infantry holding hilltops and following up with a fast downhill charge which swept away the Aitolian cavalry and heavier troops. The good order and the willingness to hold firm and fight hand to hand, displayed by the Dardanoi in 200 BC, is seen as early as 358 BC when Bardylis' men formed square when outflanked by a Macedonian army with more cavalry, and though eventually beaten put up a prolonged resistance. The contrast between 5th-century Illyrians fighting individually in no order and their 3rd-century counterparts in formed speirai suggests a marked improvement in battlefield organisation probably related to the new tactics. The Macedonian example probably had a lot to do with these changes, and improved organisation and more resolute tactics no doubt contributed to the successes of 3rd century Illyrian raiders. The southern Illyrian communities such as the Ardiaei, Daorsi, Pleraei, Narensii, Taulantii etc, the so-called political Illyria, were under stronger Hellenistic influences, more engaged in maritime trade, economically more advanced than the peoples in the hinterland, and they enjoyed the highest levels of urbanisation in the region, apart from Liburnia. The nature of the internal structure of the Illyrian kingdom is disputed, as some scholars, such as Hammond, see it as the dominion of the most powerful people over others, while Papazoglu sees it as a strongly centralised kingdom with an unbroken tradition from the fourth century BC. The Illyrians kings had major difficulties in controlling the power of the leaders of neighbouring communities nominally subjected to their power in the third and second centuries BC, while attempting to establish a more centralised kingdom following Hellenistic models, in particular the Macedonian kingdom. Some of the stronger and economically more advanced south Illyrian peoples, such as the Daorsi or Taulantii, had an interest in forming an alliance with Rome and escaping the dominion of the Illyrian kings. Hence, the kingdom of Illyria existed among the Illyrian peoples of southern Illyria, and appears to have consisted of certain tribes and strongmen called kings in the ancient sources establishing their pre-eminence among their neighbours. Ancient sources mention a certain Galaour, the ruler of the Taulantinoi, who, towards the end of the seventh century BC, waged wars against the king of Macedonia. Modern historians, interpreting a passage from Herodotus, have indicated that at this time an army of Encheliae, who lived around Lake Lychnitis (the present Lake Ochrid), invaded Greece and pushed as far as Delphi where they pillaged the sanctuary of the Oracle. For the next two centuries, wars became more frequent in southern Illyria and on its boundaries. The Illyrian tribes aimed not just at pillage; the Illyrian kings aimed to subjugate other Illyrian tribes into their federation.
  3. This image can be helpful to find tribes. From Total War Rome 2. May be this most relevant legacy of that game.
  4. but I never use Unix. I'm not IT guy. Mac OSX have some differences. It's more practical for some things and unpractical for other (snow leopard).
  5. Yeah I want put some order to do it this. And I be mentioned even the units thst are in a faction. Other reason is the user can suggest other relevant warriors. The first sort is for Culture Faction and the other for class, style weapons and armor, and fight. The third by version of game first part and second. ###################### my list is by Ethnic-region or Minifaction.mercenay. ####updated############ Mythos basic mercenaries (sort biome) These are first approved basic.

Now you can comment and add info and ideas for other mercenary units http://www.honga.net/totalwar/rome2/unit.php?l=en&v=dei&f=rom_seleucid&u=Gre_Marines
  6. need improve the perspective Of walls. But is nice. I want join to share images from Han dynastyI want to lean some OFar eastern history.
  7. we have a tech discuss wephere can propose ne tech. You can keep some about copy here but is best have there, you know order and relevance because that is pinned topic.
  8. Why? ( yeah I see today 300: RaE haha and I was think same when see Temisthocles riding a horse over a Trirreme.) But can represent he cavalry invasion force.
  9. You register easily put a user that you want and a password. Then you can acces.
  10. Tavern and other ancient comercial building. A mint is like a Bank. We need know were can found buildings in each civilizations thst works in same way. Tavern is in all cultures. But they don't loan money. Temples in some cultures. Civil buildings in others.####we can add Cultural neutral eyecandy buildings like "machine workshop" ( siege workshop+ civil improvements with machines! like Archimides innovations machine and other scientist and mathematians
  11. I need take some time for install the libraries. Can be helpful if the main team help the user with that external. I'm not expert in linux I'm like Colombus crossing the Atlatinc sea. Never I do this before and linux is mysterious OS for me.
  12. Special units. I think in that. Assassins, spies, saboteurs, and all rare units that are used to perform black operations. We need something like that, but I'm not sure if a mint is the best. Because we have a market.
  13. Yeah but we need a naval version. That can be great for non naval cultures like Iberians.
  14. Good questions in Age of Empires all are very diferent between, but have same space in map.The differences here is the accuracy that we can get, if we don't found a example we use artistic license ( imagination) to create one. Some can be abandoned buildings, other can be like a mix beteween barrack and fort.
  15. It's possibly have the building system from AoM. If you try to drop a building over other structure the system try to snap it more close that can it's possibly , that make more easily place building near others.
  16. Is important add more gameplay, the people are curious to try new things that are based in old and traditional ones.The fan art is important, we represent history with this. We show that humans were legends in human history. To bring more be need create legends and fun time.
  17. And extra stuff are almost a third like a sims expansion hahaha.You know is same game but extras. Is other version like Gold Edition in Age of Empires. And a logo with golden and silver details.
  18. Be can have 3 official version of 0 A.D.Empires Ascendents. Empires Besieged. And... Some with extra stuff. Something like platinum edition. A very large version with lot of stuff. In the pack can have several eye candy stuff , extra gameplay, wallpaper and those digital merchandise option. Obviously for free. But you know the download can be a large file. That's why I called platinum Version. And can be a Tribute for all. Can be like or more than Forgotten Empires or other extra content like DLC that are common in this age of gaming.
  19. where I found that?Sorry even im not sure what im doing. Is like try to Walk in water. But i want test if the game is more optimized in Linux.
  20. sudo apt-get install build-essential libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev \ libboost-signals-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev libenet-dev libgloox-dev \ libjpeg-dev libminiupnpc-dev libmozjs185-dev libnvtt-dev libogg-dev \ libopenal-dev libpng-dev libsdl-dev libvorbis-dev libwxgtk2.8-dev \ libxcursor-dev libxml2-dev subversion zlib1g-dev I paste that and Más reciente means, more recent update
  21. ok now from Ubuntu what mean this and what I can do? ERROR: NVTT build failed
  22. ok, I was tempting to explain my version of this idea, I guess is similar to mythos.But basically is an adaptation from AOE 3 and Warcraft 3 in order give some little fun to some maps and for designer maps can be funny. This building like capture flag system where you get extra units for cheap or expensive exotic units.
