I suggest in polytheist One for warfare. One for Agriculture And other may be for love or Mother Nature, even for metalworking, dead or whatever.

And finally some Druid Temples in Ireland http://www.ancientdigger.com/2009/08/monday-ground-up-celtic-druid-folklore.html The druids were especially connected with the oak and the mistletoe that grew on its branches. The word druid is derived from the same root as the word for oak, daur, and it is often suggested that druid means “oak wise” or “oak dweller.” The ancient Celts viewed the oak as the axis mundi, the tree of life at the center of the world. From ancient times, the fruit of the oak provided sustenance for human and animal alike; the acorn was the food of the sacred deer and the boar. http://www.netplaces.com/celtic-wisdom/the-tree-of-life/nine-sacred-woods.htm

And some props for this can be:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_tree_worship Celtic Druid Grove See you click in the link, you can see whst are the Trees that are Sacred For Celt, now in Desertical maps can be hard to do. I can imagine a big tree. Is very similar to Tree of life but with Celtic stone around, this Natural monument can have fire, water to represent all 4 elements that Celts worship. Earth, Water, Fire and Wind. Almost all kinds of tree found in the Celtic countries have been thought to have special powers or to serve as the abode of the fairies, especially the magical trio of oak, ash, and thorn. Next in rank are the fruit-bearing trees apple and hazel, followed by the alder, elder, holly, and willow. The esteem given different trees varies in different parts of the Celtic world; on the Isle of Man, the phrase ‘fairy tree’ denotes the tramman elder.[1] The obscure medieval Welsh poem Cad Goddeu (The Battle of the Trees) has been interpreted as a remnant of Druidic lore, possibly relating to the Celtic tree alphabet ogham found across northwestern Europe. Attention this too important. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ritual_of_oak_and_mistletoe The ritual of oak and mistletoe is described by Pliny the Elder, writing in the 1st century AD, as a religious ceremony in Gaul in which white-clad druids climbed a sacred oak, cut down the mistletoe growing on it, sacrificed two white bulls and used the mistletoe to cure infertility:[1] “ The druids – that is what they call their magicians – hold nothing more sacred than the mistletoe and a tree on which it is growing, provided it is Valonia Oak.... Mistletoe is rare and when found it is gathered with great ceremony, and particularly on the sixth day of the moon....Hailing the moon in a native word that means 'healing all things,' they prepare a ritual sacrifice and banquet beneath a tree and bring up two white bulls, whose horns are bound for the first time on this occasion. A priest arrayed in white vestments climbs the tree and, with a golden sickle, cuts down the mistletoe, which is caught in a white cloak. Then finally they kill the victims, praying to a god to render his gift propitious to those on whom he has bestowed it. They believe that mistletoe given in drink will impart fertility to any animal that is barren and that it is an antidote to all poisons[2] ” Pliny was primarily interested in natural history and some scholars have dismissed the testimony in relation to the druids’ ceremony as largely fanciful, particularly as he is the only classical author to mention this ceremony. Yet Pliny specifically associates druids with oak trees. Oaks were held sacred by both druids and Celts alike. Drunemeton, the ‘oak sanctuary,’ is described by Strabo as a place where the Galatian Council met and oak was used to construct the great Iron Age multi-ring timber structure at Navan Fort in County Armagh.[3] The Poole Logboat and the Corlea Trackway were both made of oak in the Iron Age.[1]

That they themselves Jove oftentimes have seen... According to the Roman authors Lucan and Pomponius Mela, the Celts of Gaul worshipped in groves of trees, a practice which Tacitus and Dio Cassius say was also found among the Celts in Britain. The Romans used the Celtic word nemeton for these sacred groves. A sacred oak grove in Galatia (Asia Minor), for example, was called Drunemeton (Strabo, Geographica, XII, 5, 1). The word was also incorporated into many of the names of towns and forts, such as Vernemeton near Leicester in England. The names of certain Celtic tribes in Gaul reflect the veneration of trees, such as Euburones (the Yew tribe), and the Lemovices (the people of the elm). A tree trunk or a whole tree was frequently included among the votive offerings placed in ritual pits or shafts dug into the ground. Others shafts had a wooden pole placed at the bottom. The Celts believed trees to be sources of sacred wisdom, and the hazel in particular was associated with wisdom by the Druids.

And go to Main menu is important too.

Ludo38 thank you for think similar XD , merge all we know about Celtics, runes, dolmens aroun a big tree. Here are good argument to defend that idea. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celtic_polytheism http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_worship

A big temple or Statue like a God or a kind of Natural sanctuary. With do,en, trees and a statue.

://orderwhitemoon.org/goddess/Epona/index.html I found this article about During the great Gaulish revolt against the Romans the Gauls sent the men ahead instead of the horses rather than risk slaughter of them. The men were killed and the Romans were so awed with Goddess Epona and her swift horse they adopted her for their own to protect the horses and the Calvary. Word spread quickly of Goddess Epona and soon her worship was so great the Romans gave Epona her own temple and her own feast day, "Festival of Epona" which was held on December the 18th. Sacrifices of animals(pigs), incense and libations were consumed at these feasts. Wine was served to Goddess Epona in a small silver bowl inscribed to her. Every barn and stable had painted images of Goddess Epona inside and outside, Shrines were erected in temples but in stables also to protect the horses and mules. Holes were cut into walls in the stables where small carvings were placed along with wreaths of roses. Interesting fact during the Romans' sacrificial worships their heads were covered while the Greeks left their heads uncovered. The worship of Goddess Epona spread across Europe from Rome to France,Germany, Greece, England

More gods. Gaul Teutates Epona Esus

Wonders specially thst are some unknow. For Iberians, Bretons, and Gauls.

You mean Crusader Knights? But is out to concept . I know they are dont fantasy but have a fantasy stories, you know, much people talk about thst. Sorry

Thank you.

Sonly I have a answer: official mod focused in medieval times.its a lot of work. But we have The Cataprahct and Clibinarii if you like the Knights Warriors. And it's 500AD not 1000 AD . And not we are history channel, not Templar knights, no fantasy secrets societies, no ancient aliens.

Thank you Oimat, now we some criticism with these. Are very old for actuall alpha and the balancing matter. For example the new technologies, even defensive, many player don't know how defends a colony. Hunt now is more easy now we can see the animals in a not LOS range because the fog of war. Explain the biomas or update. Introduce Atlas as editor. Give more social media to give some feedback, That why I was do some time ago a Pool or survey. And later know what are needed to improved. The formations, how works, and when are great to initiate a skirmish o defensive movement. Attack movement is new. Hero button is new. Including mauryan elephant worker. Very similar to experience to AoM with ox cart. And pop max capacity bonus. And spartan less pop capacity. Units that a trained by other units. Like some heroes can train elite soldiers. Other ask about post Marian reform Romans, that are in atlas, or some other good troop in atlas, they asked how unlocks. This was some suggestion to incorporate art , concept with gameplay.

Why, you thing this can be solution to why are some structures or units that are only in atlas. Thinks in your horse archer, is good unit, or Persian Elephant? You was play AOM or AOE 3? The idea is in each phase select a ruler or dynasty to have bonus.

Today all know how works but is good. I mean RoN and later games try to implement that. Garrison bonus for each structure. Paper , scissor , rock scheme. Even EE give a documents to explain that, if someone want too se it I'll put the link. http://www.wildfiregames.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=15271&st=300#entry270825 This video explain how a new user try to win but is too hard for him. But is not, he don't now how try to use defense structures.

All question and sugesstion, the suggestion topic have the more relevant, that are same in each alpha. Ai water development, explain when are the releases final, beta etc. Keyboard tips, like shift +comma or "." I see your comment in some videos that are make by the fans. Sctually the farms infinite vs sheep herding. New or planned features, every alpha the players ask for same things, even me when was noob I did. Campanig , game modes and all buttons thst are not avaible explain why don't are avaible yet. The fans always ask for more gameplay, Ai bugs thst are knew. How works the team, are divided in departments art and programming etc. Many fans thinks this game is like a AAA franchise, so they ask for Final product, not for alpha or beta. (They asking in my Spanish 0 A.D ) Finally the important talk about hardware , optimization and give quick tips to get more performance.

No, thanks to you to contribute , and thanks to Enrique to upload guides to learning 3D.

I was open topic ago to explain basic things to all people, like phase colony, citizen soldiers, armor percentage, game commands...etc. But was to art level.

Good work Ludo, now some props to enchantment. Put is very nice and now we have other 3D artist to do new great things.

You try atlas don't you? All developers say you can edit XML units template. But is good point for campaigns.

Too bad . Other Mod is gone.

Hahaha, yeah is not easy for all and in Mac is almost impossible. The svn in Mac don't do properly checkout.
