Sounds like good idea but i believe we could give Machimos a half status as half champion unit and half citizen unit, a special advantage that no other champion unit have.

I think it would good to accurately portray the historic situation faced by the Ptolemy Egypt and to show the player the result of culture fusion between the Hellenic and Egyptian culture whether it was due to desperation or culture admiration. But we could use policy decision option to allow recruitment of Pezhetairos and various Macedon unit when a Ptolemaic player decide to choose other advance policy option in order to gain certain advantage against certain enemy but with some price to pay for their action for example lower HP for native and mixed race unit and expensive Macedon unit and mercenaries or vice versa they lost the access to Hellenic unit and stronger native unit.

* Generic Name: Egyptian Levy Pikeman. * Specific Name: Makhimos Aigyptios. * Class: Champion Infantry Unit. * Armament: Long Macedonian pike, the "sarissa". * Appearance: - Body: Dirty brown quilted linothorax and pteruges. No greaves. - Shield: Round pelta with Egyptian-style designs painted on them. - Helmet: Non-plumed Thracian and Phrygian helmets. - Figure(s): None yet. * History: When pressed hard by the fellow successor state, the Seleukid Kingdom, the Ptolemies of Egypt began to arm and train the Egyptian people in Macedonian fashion. These levies of indigenous Egyptians were crucial in turning back the Seleukid tide, cementing nationalist pride and threatening the rule of the Ptolemies over their own kingdom. * Garrison: 1. * Function: Same stats as an Elite Pezhetairos (it's uncommon for a Champion Unit to have stats on par with a citizen-soldier), but trains twice as fast, owing to their levy, non-professional status. * Special: "Syntagma" Formation. I think the Egyptian Levy Pikeman should become citizen soldier because their levy status but with less martial prowess than the Pezhetairos in order to portray the fusion of Hellenic warrior culture with Egyptian warrior culture for a simple reason lack of manpower. The another solution is to turn them into a special unit with both champion and citizen unit status while having a champion status and a citizen status that grant them special advantage over other civilization especially against the Seleucids and the Macedonian that field more elite troops than the Ptolemies.

I think Excubitors could become the champion unit for the Eastern Roman Civilization. Sorry, that's the only image i have.

At first i mean the female citizens but i didn't know that you have include citizen soldiers into the call to arms list.

Perhaps the game should have call to arms option for the civic center, when danger approaches citizen will arm themselves to defend the city either garrison the civic center or take arms against the enemy.

Perhaps you could add Malay, Aceh, Javanese, Siamese, Burmese, Vietnamese or other South East Asian civilization because they look quite promising for this mod. P.S. : just a humble idea, you don't need to listen.

Thank you, now i will just wait for the game to be publish and then i will enjoy the game very much.

Perhaps policy decision could be introduce to the game? The concept of policy decision was to balance a civilization from being too strong or too weak, for example: Hellenic civilization could become the Macedonian Kingdom or they could become Sparta and other Greek city states by choosing one of the policy in order to encounter enemies that possess a certain advantage that an ordinary civilization don't have, in return certain unit and benefits was barred in order to balance the game. This is just an idea when i downloaded the Age of Empires II; The Conquerors mod, Age of Chivalry: Hegemony when they introduced the concept of policy decision to the game. If someone feel bad about this suggestion please express it on a proper manner or don't get mad about it.

Awesome!

Siege weapons looks odd without crew to operate.

AWSM!

This is a what if you are the creator`of a ultimate historical real-time strategy game that spanned from the dawn of civilization to the far future, feel free to join the topic.

Wow! The city looks awesome.

Sounds great, i can't wait to see 0 A.D. release with expansion pack, but first i will wait for 0 A.D. part 1.

Assyrian Empire, field the most cruel and efficient army in the Ancient times. They are fear incarnate before Persia, Greece, Rome and Mongolia rise to power.

Cataphracts of that time could afford bronze armor but iron armor was rare because Central Asia and Iran lacks iron, iron mill and armorer to mass produce high quality iron lamellar armor, while mail armor was introduce to the Parthian after Europa Barbarorum period that consist 272 BC to 15 AD. The Parthian Late Armored Elite Cataphracts or Grivpanvar was a creation based on the Roman graffito at Dura Europos which is several century later after Europa Barbarorum. While Hetairoi Kataphraktoi was a creation based on an recent archaeological discoveries from Afghanistan but no one could really confirm such armor did exist. It is quite strange to see Celts to use curved sword because most Celtic warrior use straight long sword and short sword but some historians support their existence and they have record about their battle against the Romans and their subjugation in 91 BC by the Romans.

First, the so called "Dosidataskeli" a.k.a Vasci Armored Shock Infantry have little or no evidence to prove its existence then the next unit "Thorakitai Argyraspides" did exist but they do not armed like iron statue.

Hi, i would like to show some bizarre unit from Europa Barbarorum: Dosidataskeli (Vasci Armoured Shock Infantry) Thorakitai Agematos Basilikou or Thorakitai Argyraspides (Hellenic Elite Spearmen) Hetairoi Kataphraktoi Cordinau Orca (Scordisci Elite Infantry) Grivpanvar (Parthian Late Armored Elite Cataphracts)

If anyone could ever Impose Historical Accuracy Act to PC games especially RTS AND Strategy games, i will definitely support this act because these game publisher have defiled history and they need attitude adjustment.

I have visit the Praetorians website and i find the game was quite historical inaccurate, if you guys want to play a true historical strategy games then you guys should download Europa Barbarorum and of course you will need Rome: Total War v 1.6 and Barbarian Invasion v 1.6.
