http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iranian_religions Are few religions Zurvanism is a branch of Zoroastrism . And one more time Babylon have solutions. The personification of the two great luminaries — the Sun and the Moon — was the first step in the unfolding of this system, and this was followed by placing the other deities where Shamash and Sin had their seats. This process, which reached its culmination in the post-Hammurabic period, led to identifying the Planet Venus with Ishtar, Jupiter with Marduk, Mars with Nergal, Mercury with Nabu, and Saturn with Ninurta. The system represents a harmonious combination of two factors, one of popular origin, the other the outcome of speculation in the schools attached to the temples of Babylonia. The popular factor is the belief in the influence exerted by the movements of the heavenly bodies on occurrences on earth — a belief naturally suggested by the dependence of life, vegetation and guidance upon the two great luminaries. Starting with this belief the Priests and Priestesses built up the theory of the close correspondence between occurrences on earth and phenomena in the Heavens. The Heavens presenting a constant change even to the superficial observer, the conclusion was drawn of a connection between the changes and the everchanging movement in the fate of individuals and of nature as well as in the appearance of nature.

Cibeles for Persians in Anatolia was an originally Anatolian mother goddess. Little is known of her oldest Anatolian cults, other than her association with mountains, hawks and lions. She may have been Phrygia's state deity; her Phrygian cult was adopted and adapted by Greek colonists of Asia Minor and spread from there to mainland Greece and its more distant western colonies from around the 6th century BCE. Ceres the goddess of fertility.was a goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships.[1] She was originally the central deity in Rome's so-called plebeian or Aventine Triad, then was paired with her daughter Proserpina in what Romans described as "the Greek rites of Ceres". Bona Dea ("The Good Goddess") was a divinity in ancient Roman religion. She was associated with chastity and fertility in women, healing, and the protection of the Roman state and people. According to Roman literary sources, she was brought from Magna Graecia at some time during the early or middle Republic, and was given her own state cult on the Aventine Hill. Saturn (Latin: Saturnus) was a god in ancient Roman religion and a character in myth. Saturn is a complex figure because of his multiple associations and long history. He was the first god of the Capitol, known since the most ancient times as Saturnius Mons, and was seen as a god of generation, dissolution, plenty, wealth, agriculture, periodical renewal and liberation. In later developments he came to be also a god of time. His reign was depicted as a Golden Age of plenty and peace. The Temple of Saturn in the Roman Forum housed the state treasury. In December, he was celebrated at what is perhaps the most famous of the Roman festivals, the Saturnalia, a time of feasting, role reversals, free speech, gift-giving and revelry. Saturn the planet and Saturday are both named after the god. With Spanish Even then, the Roman armies faced constant raids from various Spanish tribes. The Roman general, Quintus Sertorius, who was disenchanted by Rome, became the champion of Spanish rebellion against Rome for 8 years, until he was treacherously murdered in 72 BC, by his lieutenant, Perperna. Even today, Sertorius is seen as a great Spanish hero who dared challenge the might of the Roman Senate and their armies. But, the whole Iberian Peninsula didn't come to full Roman control until the reign of Augustus in 19 BC. Hispania Citerior became Tarraconensis, while Ulterior Hispania was divided into two provinces (c. 16 BC) – Lusitania (Portugal) and Baetica. Popular Celtic gods that are worshipped in Gaul and Britain, were also worshipped in the Spanish provinces, such as Lugus, Epona and Matres.

Semnocosus was also a popular god of war for the Roman legions serving in The following deities found here are ancient Romano-Celtic gods and goddesses, found in Gaul (France, Belgium, the Alps and northern Italy) and other part of Continental Europe (Spain, Switzerland, Austria, etc). Written sources for these deities come from mainly authors in the classical period of Greece and Rome. These authors wrote in the time of 4th century BC to 2nd century AD. Other evidences of these deities come from archaeology. The main archaeological finds were swords and other weapons, cups and cauldrons, pins, coins, etc. Some of the more interesting evidences are statuettes of their gods or goddesses. When Julius Caesar conquered Gaul, he observed the religion of the Gauls, but he equated many of the Celtic gods with Roman names instead of the native Gaullish names. Caesar assigned the names such Mercury, Mars, Apollo, Jupiter, Minerva and Dis Pater (Pluto) to the Gallic deities. When the Roman empire conquered Gaul, the Rhine area and in Britain, they not only brought Roman culture and religion with them, many of the Empire's citizens with Roman and non-Roman background, either adopted or continued to worship these Celtic gods. It wasn't until then the imperial Roman period, that we find different names to these gods, which can be found on statues and monuments with inscriptions. However these names are Romano-Celtic and the inscriptions was written in Latin. The Celts still didn't have their own written languages. Even with these names, the Roman writers still compare them with the names of Roman deities. Please note that some of ancient Celtic deities can also be found in the page called Welsh and British Deities. Some of the ancient Celtic deities, like Lugus, Camulos and Cernunnos, are popular in both Continental Europe and Britain, so I have listed them under the Gallic Deities (this page), otherwise they will be listed under the British deities page. I would also like to point out that most of the Gallic or British gods that we know, were not always universally accepted. Many of the Gallic gods were localised to a particular region or tribe. Only some deities were more widely accepted than others. And some gods are known by a different name. Also, the Celtic people really didn't have their own writing systems. The oghams were a later invention, perhaps in the 3rd century. However, the worshippers of the Celtic gods, did adopted Greek or Latin writing. So, most of the names of Celtic deities, come down to us, from Latin or even Greek inscriptions.

However there was every little evidence that he was sun god, nor was the festival held to worship the sun. Belenus was a popular deity, particular in Italy, Noricum (Switzerland and Austria) and Gaul (France). The Romans equated Belenus with the Greek/Roman god, Apollo, who was also the god of light and healing. Belenus was associated with Irish deity named Bilé (Bile), the consort of the goddess Danu. The Welsh literature called him Beli, husband of Don (Danu). Both Bilé and Beli were actually the god of death and darkness.

He was clearly a god of nature, and probably of fertility of animals and agriculture. Cernunnos was also god of grains and fruits. Cernunnos was equated with another god with stag-like antlers on his head, Belatucadnos, a British god of war. The Romans associated Cernunnos with their god Mercury (Hermes), though Julius Caesar associated him with Dis Pater, cthlonic god of the underworld. The early Christians associated Cernunnos as the Devil or Anti-Christ, because of pagan ritual. The worship of Cernunnos can be found in the France, Alps, Italy, and in Britain.

Esus Stone carving from the Ara Nautae, found under Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris Musée du Moyen Age, Cluny (Paris) genius cucullatus genius cucullatus, which mean the "Hooded One" are somewhat of mysterious figure. The hooded cloak is called cucullus. Stone and clay statuettes and stone-carvings of genius cucullatus have been found in both Continental Europe and Britain. The length of the hooded cloak varied from the head to waist or covered from head all the way to his/her ankles, where only their face, ankles and feet are exposed. More often than not, the figures have footwear on their feet. Only a few images have the hoods pushed back to their shoulders. Who are these hooded figures? There seemed to be many speculations and theories on genius cucullatus, and their attributes remained a mystery to this day. Even the gender of the figures are difficult to determine. Some seemed to be clearly male, while others indicate to be female, but usually their sex are ambiguous. However, there are number of clay figures found in the Moselle regions, where they wear moustaches to indicate they are male, are obvious signs to their gender. What other gods they appeared with and what they hold in their hands may give us the signs of their attributes. They sometimes appeared either singular or as triplet, with the mother goddess (eg. Rosmerta), suggested that they are connected with healing and fertility; and if they are holding a fruit or a money bag, then it would symbolise fertility and prosperity. Statuettes found near springs would indicate that they were deities of healing, since water was symbol of health and healing, such as the thermal bath at Aque Sulis (Bath). Swords may indicated they are guardians or in the case where appear next to Lenus, god of healing, would indicate they are protection against disease. The genius cucullatus has been confused with another hooded figure, Telesphorus, who appeared in Greek/Roman myths as the son of Asclepius. However, Telesphorus, usually appeared bare-footed, holding a scroll in hold hand. But since Romans have conquered and settled in the provinces, it is sometimes difficult to determined are Telesphorus or genius cucullatus. If there are three hooded figures, then we can safely say they are Celtic. The difficulties is to determining the singular figure. More frequently objects found in Britain are usually grouped in three (genii cucullati), found in north near the Hadrain's Wall and in southwest in Gloustershire. While those found in Gaul and the Rhine regions tends to be singular figure. The genii cucullati found in Gaul, often appeared in dwarfish size.

This a best Card for now to attract players. You can record some videos, this best way to people see how good is our work. Other gameplay is important is the transformation of a unit into a Structure like a Cart into Civic Centre, even Main game can request this and you can give your first appareance in the programmer credit list.

Hmm... Some times like do a tech to unlock abilities or attacks haha, one thing I can evade is the argument about priest rush. And no all civilization were religious fanatic or they give some importance for live after dead. This why the math formula. The timer I like but in age of empires I the Assyrian do a foursome priest rush, that are in our minds in present days XD. -
