Sighvatr

I knew there was something wrong about using that word too. No mi maestro no ensena correcto.

Welcome to these forums! Programmers are more than welcome!

I missed reading the weekly development reports. Seems like forever since I have read these.

Yo hablo pequeno espanol, y vivo en Florida. Mi espanol es horrible.

Perhaps pronounce an ancient language from India for the Mauryan faction? We got the Ptolemics next, but I am not sure if they speak Greek, or Egyptian?

This mod needs more infantry! I like what I see so far though! Should add a Mecha for kicks and giggles.

Where do the Itallic mercenaries come from? I dont see any sources that speak of them?

Yeah, I never understood the purpose of those units in that game. Nor do I understand why the Iroquis would need big shields for.

@lilstewie- Is not putting shields on the side of the boat, a viking dragonship stereotype?

They are nice covers I used in my medieval games. Age of Empires 3 Iroquis uses some kind of shield unit.

Yep, if a legion is stationed in one area for a long time, people move to get protection, and eventually replace the wooden fort with stone. The Romans would build bath houses and even aqueducts.

Hahaha. That would be awesome to do. I'll look into the Carthaginians some more.

Those swords and shields are gonna slide and fall from the waves.

Well it would it not make sense if you couldnt increase the number of garrison in a fortress either?

I 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.

I like that. Can we do a similar technology pair foe the fortress as well?

Didn't the Carthaginians have a mixture of different ethnicity? I always get confused to see a one sided deal of Itallic Mercenaries for instance. I'm not saying that your idea is bad. But what if the buildings weren't diverse in ethnicity, but in different "groups" of mercenaries? Such as one embassy gives you a mixture of Itallic, Gaulish, and Celtiberian Mercenaries.

That sounds about fair. Any excuse to throw in technology is awesome.

Now I find it difficult to support a side. It makes sense that a roman army camp should only support as much as a fortress. But not all fortresses can hold an army?

Those Tattooed war elephants look like baby Mumakil to me. I have been waiting to see if anybody made any LoTR references yet.

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 does the garrison for the Roman Army Camp have to be reduced? I thought Roman Army Camps were built to hold a Roman army? If it is too powerful, then I suggest lowering the hitpoints of the building. Not the amount of troops it holds. That doesn't make sense.

I was thinking along the lines of having the original mercenary buildings and include the allied player embassy.

Those turbans look really awesome! Awesome textures, and awesome modeling! Just awesome, Pureon!
