visually they resemble a people from arid lands similar to the Egyptians and the Israelites.

Houses

First it goes through a design, testing and redesign process in the mods and now even in individual mods.

again is what I say, there should be incendiary units in these kind of civs.

For certain buildings the size is Standard. The military or creation of troops must meet that standard, as well as the CC.

The introduction of the bow in Mesoamerica is a subject of much debate. In the past, researchers, based on very limited evidence (e.g., Müeller 1966b:230), believed that the bow and arrow was used at Teotihuacán. However, both the large size of Classic period bifacial points and those produced beside the Pyramid of the Moon suggest that these were used to arm spears and darts. More likely, Teotihuacán miniature points were symbolic representations of dart points that were deposited as ceremonial offerings, along with miniature sacrificial knives and the zoomorphic and anthropomorphic figurines that were deposited in the same place. Worse still, there are no representations of the use of bow and arrow in Teotihuacan art, while there are abundant representations of the use of spears and darts. However, Aoyama (2005) proposes that the bow and arrow were in use in the Maya lowlands by the end of the first millennium AD and that their exact introduction to the Central Highlands must be resolved through use and wear studies such as those he conducted. Quigley (1983) provides a useful summary of historical and prehistoric weapon systems. He details that the most common battle progression in historical cases involved sequential stages that began with missile launching, followed by the use of shock weapons at close range, and concluded with the pursuit of prisoners once the battle had been clearly decided in favor of one of the armies (abbreviated M-S-P for missile-shock-persecution). For example, in the wars of pre-modern Europe, the sequence followed a progression of artillery, bayonets and cavalry (Quigley 1983:43). The atlatl possesses a range of approximately 70 m, but its aim declines considerably after 46 m (Hassig 1992:47). Thus, if the bow and arrow were not used, Quigley's M-S-P progression in Teotihuacan battles would have been initiated with the use of slings and darts thrown at relatively short range. There is no evidence of the use of the macuahuitl (the Aztec obsidian-edged broadsword) at Teotihuacán. This weapon does not appear in the art of the city and no tombs have been uncovered. The weapon does not appear in the art of the city, and no burials have been discovered with parallel lines of obsidian blades that may have been the remnants of such a weapon after the disintegration of the wooden portion. Accordingly, it is likely that the shock stage of Teotihuacano combat involved the usage of hafted knives, thrusting spears, and clubs at close range. The pursuit stage would likely have resulted in the acquisition of captives to serve as sacrifices, laborers, or to extract ransom and tribute. It is important to note that the vast majority of Teotihuacán dart points were produced for combat and as part of offerings. The only animal species in the vicinity of Teotihuacán that could be hunted efficiently using dart points would have been the white-tailed deer (see Ellis 1997). Smaller animals such as rabbits and birds would have been caught with the use of slingshots, traps, or blowguns-the use of the latter is depicted in the city's art. The impact these animals would receive from such a large, stone-headed instrument thrown with an atlatl would virtually tear them apart, making this a hunting strategy of little effectiveness.

they are basically pre Aztec. https://ancientamerindia.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/teotihuacan-warfare-300-700-ad/ With a theocratic based political structure, dominated by a priesthood elite and warring nobility (there is no evidence of individualistic power concentration, like on the figure of a king) it is most probable that Teotihuacan had a strong military potential, in order to ensure order and supremacy of the dominant civilization and its rulers. The influence which Teotihuacan exercised among the Maya was multifaceted and full of cultural resonance, persisting long after the fall of the city. The capacity of Teotihuacan to directly influence the Maya history, besides the temporary sovereignty over conquered territories, indicates that this dominance was mostly political, though occasionally founded on the military power. Embassy like system. Teotihuacan was a cosmopolitan city, having received a considerable number of foreigners like Maya groups coming from colonies set in such territories, from the Oaxaca region and from Veracruz. Altogether they formed an independent district, in which most elements of their original cultures were preserved. One crucial element of Teotihuacan warrior was the ‘mirror’ worn on his back. Called a tezcacuitlapilli by the later Mexica, the mirror consisted of a small stone disk to which pieces of iron pyrite were attached in a mosaic. Visual depictions indicate that feathers commonly ringed these mirrors. An additional decorative touch might include a knot securing a swath of feathers to the mirror They wore sandals, shell or bread necklaces, large earflares and short loincloth skirts; all clothing of a typical – if elite – Teotihuacan male. The main warring emblems tucked amongst this otherwise ordinary clothing were year signs, owl pectorals, and the ultimate warrior costume accessory: circular Tlaloc goggles. These usually rang the human eye, but were sometimes shoved up on the forehead in a style similar to modern goggle wearing. solely with protective armaments of the martial sort: they wore spiritual armaments as well. These features, found in the city’s military imagery are the incorporation of animal attributes in the costume of most warriors. Although a shamanic rationale may have underlined the existence of animal warriors at Teotihuacan, the real strength of the costumes was their ability to foster collective identities. The animal costumes of Teotihuacan do not seem to represent an individual as much they designate groups of warriors who wore the same costume and shared an animal companion. A vessel from the site of Las Colinas near Teotihuacan confirms the existence of these groups: on the bowl each warrior in the procession walks behind the symbol of is military order. The depicted heraldry includes such entities as a bird, a canine, a feathered serpent and a tassel headdress, the later indicating that animals were not the only military emblems. In the white patio of Atetelco there can be seen images of eagle and coyote warriors and there are also representations of jaguar warriors in the murals of Teotihuacan. ----In this faction we will have warriors with animal names--- For defence, square or rectangular shields were used, flexible or rigid, similar to those found among the Maya. https://ancientamerindia.wordpress.com/2013/01/17/teotihuacan-warfare-300-700-ad/

Cilician Mercenaries(Pirates)

Impressive list. missing.... Kushans in India. (the architecture is similar to the Mauryan). Late Etruscan(Genava suggestion) Samnites... Hasmoneans (Judeans) Xianbei Sarmatians Vandals Illyrians Gupta Empire.

Achaemenid influence has also been noted, especially in relation to the general shape, and the capital has been called a "Persianizing capital, complete with stepped impost, side volutes and central palmettes", which may be the result of the formative influence of craftsmen from Persia following the disintegration of the Achaemenid Empire after the conquests of Alexander the Great.[17] Some authors have remarked that the architecture of the city of Pataliputra seems to have had many similarities with Persian cities of the period.[18] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pataliputra_capital

Assembly Hall of 80 Pillars: The Mauryan pillared hall at Kumrahar was brought to light in the excavations of 1912-15, conducted by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) under D. B. Spooner, aided by Sir Ratan Tata. The excavation traced 72 pits of ash and rubble on the site that marked the position where the pillars must have stood. Further excavations in 1951-55 exposed 8 more such pits, including 4 belonging to the entrance or porch, giving the hall its present name of the “Assembly Hall of 80 pillars”. All the pillars were made of black spotted buff sandstone monoliths with a lustrous shine typical of the Mauryan period. Given its nature, the hall has been assigned as the palace of King Ashoka, audience hall, throne room of Mauryas, a pleasure hall or the conference hall of the third Buddhist council held in 3rd Century BC during the reign of Ashoka. Amazingly, out of the 80 pillars excavated at the site, only one remains. https://www.indianetzone.com/70/relics_kumhrar.htm

Palaces: Greek historian, Megasthenes, described the palaces of the Mauryan empire as one of the greatest creations of mankind and Chinese traveler Fa Hien called Mauryan palaces as god gifted monuments. Persian Influence: The palace of Chandragupta Maurya was inspired by the Achaemenid palaces at Persepolis in Iran. Material Used: Wood was the principal building material used during the Mauryan Empire. Examples: The Mauryan capital at Pataliputra, Ashoka’s palace at Kumrahar, Chandragupta Maurya’s palace. Pillars: Ashoka pillars, (usually made of chunar sandstone), as a symbol of the state, assumed a great significance in the entire Mauryan Empire.

find out a little more thanks to my references. I found what a courtyard of a Maurya palace looks like. Very similar to the Greek style.(structurally) an Peristyle. This architecture but more decorated is shared by the Kushans.As in the images above.(previous posts).

Another is to bring some of the multiple cultures of the Valley of Mexico. The Teotihuacans. And their allies. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholula_(Mesoamerican_site)

https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Teotihuacan They are like a mixture of Maya with Aztec (clothes from the valley of Mexico) War paint like Aztec, and Maya ornaments.

with the nomadic tribes have thought of different types of defenses. Based on the wagons. And in mobile defenses. But you have to think that it is only a defense on thier own land.

It takes time to implement, it's still under development.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proto-Germanic_language

that's the idea. We would change some things, the way they work, they would have some nomadic functions.

The gameplay should change a bit, right? We can use the Cimbri as an umbrella for other factions within. It should have a nomadic look. In military terms, what is the difference between Cimbrians and Suebians?
