We need axemen in game, as a melee unit. Crooked they are in book about Ptolemy army, is good question, even in the book dint say what is that.

ok, white, the eagle was a new emblem more Greek but was don't work, i forget the dark colors ...ups. ok was so complicate with those layers but i try again, is difficult with low res, i know is final resolution, but is hard do the things as the past. is hard work the alpha, i noticed is too sensitive 10% is very high, that shields are best to try celtic paterns. too layers, remember im Photoshop user. forget the eagle, i like we have more than one eagle. ok now your instructions have sense, but so the Shield are half finished, what are the real work in this?. may be add Patters and Emblems? ok i´ll try again tomorrow.

Is not bad idea hsve spear or club units with generic shield for CC and other for explorer.

new design Thureos2galat.psd

obviusly, take easy, we try to use more accurate than that Hollywood source boys.

saving this one for late rome

Celtic Art inspiration

What is layer groups? XD I don't mind hahaha I see what I can do. Ptolemy2theo.psd

Both have elite spear units but is more cheap the Athenian champion. But otherwise Spartan have swordman to train in barracks , Athenians in ships.

Contact with Redfox in technical forum they are debating about change code for optimizated Ai.

For now the main problem is buildings, I want to differenciate this faction from other Hellenistic , Ptolemy have own style but Seleucid don't. Aren't not reconstructions of Antioch, Seleucia and other Tetrapolis. Pergamum is too Hellenistic, Jerusalem? I don't but is best card to imagine Seleucid mixed culture.

Ok, nice source, but with Syrian. Archer we have almost the empty information, when happens we can contrasted many secondary sources Examinate roman Syrian , Assiryan archers, rome total war mod archers, other regional archers that are geographical close in the context era. And see what elements are commons in all.

I saw that unit but when focus in appareance, have many, but all that less historical. Looks too medieval. Is difficult if aren't primary source to prove how looks like a unit.

For now wait and support main team, the mod can. Be finish when they finish the game.

This happens when you can mix Warcraft and AOE and lose the concept.

And new programmers are coming with new alphas, may be a new Ai or Aegis 2 can be made it.

Yeah but not now, they are focus in Optimization, Pathfinder, Graphical support, improved Engine, etc.

http://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/Civ%3A_Seleucids?version=12 See it, you mister can try to find sources too. And yes is not Syrian but you know how looks? ( not auxiliary roman right?) Pd, I'm saving in imgur because a lot pics can be lost in other server.

How looks The seleucid capital? Seleucia Early Seleucid Near East The ancient Akkadian city of Babylon served as an Achaemenid provincial capital, and later the de facto capital of Alexander the Great’s Macedonian Empire. During this short period Babylon continued to flourish, yet following Alexander’s death, the city's fortunes declined precipitously, largely due to the Wars of the Diadochi. Thus, to reflect the emerging new world order and revitalize the sagging economy of Mesopotamian, the successor Seleucus Nicator founded his namesake, Seleucia in 307 BC and dedicated it as the capital of his empire. The remnant that still resided at Babylon was moved the short distance northeast, to help build the new city and became its base population, along with a cross section of Hellenized, as well as a mix of Middle and Near Eastern peoples. At its height, Seleucia boasted a residential population equal to that of Alexandria. The first view of the Seleucia model is from the south at a high angle, and is looking north. The Tigris River (flowing from top to bottom) is situated within the left center portion of the model. The light green area to the left of this represents irrigated agricultural fields. On the high ground a short distance further to the east, is the large town of Ctesiphon, which initially was used as a secondary river port to transfer traffic from the east bank of the Tigris to Seleucia itself. Returning to Seleucia one will note that for the most part, it is bounded on the north and east by the Tigris and a major canal that had been extended from the Euphrates River, on the south. Immediately west of the city, another large canal was diverted from the Euphrates canal, to flow directly through this huge Hellenistic metropolis. Providing a significant water source for the city’s center, this diversion canal effectively divided Seleucia north and south along its alignment. Within the city this feature was crossed by numerous bridges placed to correspond to the grid and block residential layout of the city. The gray sections within the city walls represents the residential space and area occupied by other buildings. The following view is high and is from the southeast, looking northwest over the Tigris River. Commercially, Seleucia was serviced by two large river ports built by dredging the Tigris, thus creating a large artificial bay. Without doubt material recovered from this area was used in the construction of the city. A third port was established along the Euphrates canal just prior to its confluence with the Tigris. Overall, the city’s defensive architecture consists of two wall systems that separated the main residential/governmental/religious area (central area) from the primary commercial area (area outside the central area). A very small dot is located at the base of the tower immedately left of the canal that divided the city. This is an adult human provided for a sense of scale. The finial view is from the southwest at a low angle, looking northeast. Within the interior wall system the city was laid out much like Alexandria, using a street grid and residential apartment house blocks. The structure placed within the interior wall system (upper right) is a temple complex built on the Hellenistic model with an entry house, an enclosing rectangular portico facing into an plaza, and a central Megaron like structure. As with Carthage and Alexandria, Seleucia was positioned to take advantage of a number of significant water obstacles. These effectively would have forced an attacker to advance on a very narrow front, particularly from the west. Also as a side note, the canals outside the city were most likely crossed by numerous bridges. Seleucia, as such, was founded in about 305 BC, when an earlier city was enlarged and dedicated as the first capital of the Seleucid Empire by Seleucus I Nicator. Seleucus was one of the generals of Alexander the Great who, after Alexander's death, divided his empire among themselves.[1] Although Seleucus soon moved his main capital to Antioch, in northern Syria, Seleucia became an important center of trade, Hellenistic culture, and regional government under the Seleucids. The city was populated by Greeks, Syrians and Jews. Standing at the confluence of the Tigris River with a major canal from the Euphrates, Seleucia was placed to receive traffic from both great waterways. During the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC, it was one of the great Hellenistic cities, comparable to Alexandria in Egypt, and greater than Syrian Antioch. Excavations indicate that the walls of the city enclosed an area of at least 550 hectares (1,400 acres). Based on this size, the population has been estimated to number over 100,000 initially and probably more later. Its surrounding region might have supported half a million people. Polybius (5,52ff) uses the Macedonian peliganes for the council of Seleucia, which implies a Macedonian colony, consistent with its rise to prominence under Seleucus I; Pausanias (1,16) records that Seleucus also settled Babylonians there. Archaeological finds support the presence of a large population not of Greek culture. In 141 BC, the Parthians under Mithridates I conquered the city, and Seleucia became the western capital of the Parthian Empire. Tacitus described its walls, and mentioned that it was, even under Parthian rule, a fully Hellenistic city. Ancient texts claim that the city had 600,000 inhabitants, and was ruled by a senate of 300 people. It was clearly one of the largest cities in the Western world; only Rome, Alexandria and possibly Antioch were more populous.

Like the Scythians, the Syrians use the powerful Eastern composite bow, and are skilled archers. They are better disciplined than the Scythians, but they too are not always pleased to be serving as a subject people in the ranks of Seleucia...
