This bas-relief from Ashurbanipal’s (669-633 B.C.) palace in Nineveh shows the king riding in his ceremonial chariot. The canopy shows his royalty. The king of Assyria was also high priest and deputy to the god Ashur, their chief deity.

The Mycenaeans were ultimately the first Greek-speaking people attested through historical sources, especially through their written records in the Linear B script,[41] and through their literary echoes in the works of Homer, a few centuries later.

that is how looks like, merchant class.
t seems that the Sacred Bands were some sort of a religious quasi-esoteric order as well with an intense religious dedication and powerful patron gods like Anat, Melqart and Astarte of the Battle.____________________________________________________________________
One interesting thing that I've noticed about many websites I've visited on the Canaanites, is that many of them seem to have this idea that Canaanite culture was destroyed by the Hebrews in a supposed invasion, that their descendants lived in the north and became known by the Greeks as Phoenicians. Then the Greeks Hellenized Phoenicia and all of the city-states basically became Hellenic Greek city-states and Canaanite culture disappeared. I have long felt that this wasn't the case, and Canaanite culture was (even when Hellenized) less 'Hellenic' than most people imagine it to be. Just to clarify, I'm not claiming that Canaan was never Hellenized, that Alexander's conquest of the land never happened, or that Hellenic culture has had no influence whatsoever over Canaanites and their traditional religion. There are numerous elements of Greek thought that I can see in later Iron Age religion from what we have discovered so far. But the point I'm trying to make is that the Canaanites didn't simply become Greeks, and their culture wasn't destroyed or abandoned.Source

but can be more strategical, your defend a position, or a resource(metal or stone) with Army camp when you, succes and save the position, clean the whole area, you can convert it into CC.I smell an upgrade to turn army camps into civ centers (like the wall to gate upgrade, it would be for each camp independently). To balance, CostArmyCamp + CostUpgrade > CostCC + 100 (i.e. it would be significantly more expensive than a CC to begin with).
London is an Example of that.
The status of Londinium is uncertain. It was not the capital of a civitas, though Ptolemy lists it as one of the cities of the Cantiaci. Starting as a small fort guarding the northern end of the new bridge across the River Thames, it grew to become an important port for trade between Roman Britain and the Roman provinces on the continent. -
the Pluteo (in Spanish). in a illustration in wikipedia about Ancient Warfare.
this reference where was used.
http://en.wikipedia....ege_of_Massilia
A mantlet was a large shield or portable shelter used for stopping arrows or spears.A ram was often used to break down walls and doors of fortresses. To protect the men working the ram, they would be covered by a mantlet or sheild. This was also known as a 'tortoise'. A mantlet could be mounted on a wheeled carriage and protected one or several soldiers.
...After this it seemed good to Vespasian and his captains to raise a bank against the city, where the wall could be approached. For this end, therefore, he caused his whole army to fetch timber for the work, and to cut stone from the hills that were hard by. Also he caused to be set up mantlets, under cover of which the bank was made, they that built it being in nowise harmed by the stones and javelins and the like, which the Jews cast upon them from the wall. When the bank was finished Vespasian set his machines of war and catapults upon it, to the number of one hundred and sixty, which threw javelins and lighted brands and stones of a great weight, so that the Jews could not stand upon the wall, nor come to any place whither the engines could reach with their shooting. Also there was a great company of archers of Arabia and slingers that ceased not to attack the city. Nevertheless, the Jews, though they were hindered from going on to the walls, ceased not to sally from the gate; and they would drag away the shelter from them that worked, and wound the men, and they would set fire to the timber. But Vespasian, perceiving that they were able to do this, and because spaces had been left in the siege-works, commanded that these should be filled in; and when this had been done, the Jews ceased from attacking them. But when the bank had been made of equal height to the walls, Josephus,
yes, Roman uses in Sieges, whan they can protect Stationary Weapons or Siege builders, that create a Ramp of 10M in JudeaThere any records of use of this in our time frame? Just out of curiosity, i never saw any of these in any game...
very nice to have, may be in Second part.They are nice covers I used in my medieval games. Age of Empires 3 Iroquis uses some kind of shield unit.
Other units, nice to have.

ok, i was recording militia in AOK.Could you explain what that stationary wall is?
I think someone is already making an onager.
Any sources as to what these Town Watchmen would've looked like? I don't see why they would have clubs and not swords.
The others are added.
that the roman way.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vigiles
The Vigiles or more properly the Vigiles Urbani ("watchmen of the City") or Cohortes Vigilum ("cohorts of the watchmen") were thefirefighters and police of Ancient Rome.Every cohort was equipped with standard firefighting equipment. The sipho or fire engine was pulled by horses and consisted of a large double action pump that was partially submerged in a reservoir of water.
The greeks:
Ancient Greece
In Ancient Greece, publicly owned slaves were used by magistrates as police. In Athens, a group of 300 Scythian slaves (the ῥαβδοῦχοι, "rod-bearers") was used to guard public meetings to keep order and for crowd control, and also assisted with dealing with criminals, handling prisoners, and making arrests. Other duties associated with modern policing, such as investigating crimes, were left to the citizens themselves.[9]

yeah, this good thinking. Athenians and Spartans have a Building with other ethnic. Dacian/Thracian/ScytianI am suggesting to diversify the deals by packaging different ethnic groups of mercenaries for each kind of embassy. This way it wont feel as if you are specializing in one group of people, and yet still provide that option to specialize only in the embassy you chose.
-
and its have "decay", that is a limit. love that SB but, many army camp later in History was converted into Cities.
and with army, a lot of civil people marching with legions
-
Mercenaries more Mercenaries, time ago i talk that with Michael. i Mini Faction Discuss.
and more Special Units.
Huntress (Celtic)
Cilician Pirate
Town watchmen. (basic unit of each faction , with low armor and club to hit)
Spy
Assasin
executioner.
Special Siege Weapons
i mean that wooden barrier, and Stationary Onager
Gastraphetes
-
yes, that other option, and other factions access to mercenary, Capturing a gaia building in RM or Scenarios.I would restrict it to Carthage only, to make the faction stand out gameplaywise.
edit1: i remember one thing, in Gaia that can be capturable buildings, the Mercenary have a Limit to Train in AOE 3, in Total War, map Campaign the available Mercenaries, are limit to numbers per territory, when all are exhausted, you must wait a time to all numbers reload slowly
-
i agree with this, and, that is for factions that uses mrcenaries: Romans, Persian, Carthaginian, Athenians, SpartansI was thinking about that
. You start out with a 'general' consulate/embassy building. By choosing a faction, the building gets unique units and techs. Changing to another faction will cost time and resources. You can only have one building.Iberian, Britons, Gaul and Mauryans dont uses that.

nice idea, i like, i want to work some, Economic Upgrades, based in Classic RTS.There is a pad http://piratepad.eu/Dj9wtFr9Ev for brainstorming.
In no color are the tech already implemented, and the rest are our ideas.
You're welcome !

that model is why i was talk each plate must be different. i do texture, but im not happy with them. please don't offence or think i want offence someone.Even then. looks kinda off..:/
i like that texture in Mogul, the Model are Perfect, only some aesthethic changes for more acurracy suggested by Lilstewie.
obviusly, that why, its important see the evolution the Mauryan to Mogul.Even then. looks kinda off..:/
Still I think it's better to see people's reconstructions only from that period or around it. Not look at armor examples from 2000+ years later.
-
Again, i know that, im not talking about model, im talking of quality of Metal looking.That's all Mughal, medieval.
-
no no the Armor, the Metal[Texture] of this armor, the imperfectness of each plate.It's no good for this lion.
Some Plates more Yellow, other, some green, other dark, other more bright.

I think the Bronze DLC can be done too long time after first 1.0.I agree with Zoot. We should focus on the game first. Then those who want to go further can work on the DLCs. Besides, I am hoping the Bronze Age mod Egyptians would look different from the Ptolemies.
Im going to look up the navies and warships of the ptolemics. My library has lots of books of Egyptian seafaring for some odd reason.
why? because the game change so much, and the only basic things are that we can do for now.

im not finishednice tutorial Lion! I should follow your example and put more work in my 2d images.
