I wish education in America was more heavy on languages-- I find that I have to learn them on my own if I want to learn languages other than French and Spanish very well. (I do tend to enjoy learning less "mainstream" languages though, and that may not be the case for many Americans...)

Why sun? I was thinking of something like "The Cradle of (insert something cool here)", like 'of the World' or 'of the Civilizations' (thought i found this last one too presumptuous).
I chose the name Rise of the Bronze Sun because sun in the Ancient Egyptian language can also mean age, time, or epoch. Therefore Bronze sun is the same in meaning as Bronze Age.
Urartu? who are these?
Ancient Armenians see: http://www.livius.or...nia/urartu.html
Also, the Sea Peoples were most probably Semites from Canaan, so if we include Hebrews and Phoenicians, there would be little need for Sea Peoples. Some archaeologists believe they were exiled Mycenaeans as well, but the Mycenaeans will definitely be included anyway. As for Hittites, I agree that they should be included, but Urartu is getting a little too obscure... They were generally conquered by regional powers and there is not much to differentiate them from other regional civilizations. We could just use Persians or Assyrians to represent them.

Farsi is the proper name for the Persian language.
Enjoy the Choice
Do you speak Farsi?

Correct, while perhaps the best known and most entertaining example of Middle English would be Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, this is how the prologue begins:
Whan that Aprille with his shoures sote
The droghte of Marche hath perced to the rote,
And bathed every veyne in swich licour,
Of which vertu engendred is the flour;
Whan Zephirus eek with his swete breeth
Inspired hath in every holt and heeth
The tendre croppes, and the yonge sonne
Hath in the Ram his halfe cours y-ronne,
And smale fowles maken melodye,
That slepen al the night with open yë,
(So priketh hem nature in hir corages):
Than longen folk to goon on pilgrimages
Hah! I had to memorize that for my English Class! XD
Also, Is anyone interested in trying to learn Farsi? I've always wanted to...

Doesn't reading Shakespeare count as learning Old English?
Shakespeare is actually modern English-- This is Old English: Hwæt! We Gardena in geardagum,
þeodcyninga, þrym gefrunon,
hu ða æþelingas ellen fremedon.
Oft Scyld Scefing sceaþena þreatum, 5 monegum mægþum, meodosetla ofteah,
egsode eorlas. Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden, he þæs frofre gebad,
weox under wolcnum, weorðmyndum þah,
oðþæt him æghwylc þara ymbsittendra (From the Original Introduction to Beowulf)

Παιδεύομαι γλῶτταν ἑλληνίκην νῦν, καί βούλομαι λέγειν σύν τοῖς ἄλλοις ἀνθρώποις. Ἐγώ καί πολύ καλῶς νομίζω αὔτον γράφειν 0 Α.Δ. ἐν γλώτταις ἑλληνίκῃ τε καί ῥομαίᾳ.
I am currently learning Ancient Greek, and I wanted to see if anyone would like to practice it. I find writing and translating English->Greek to be the best way to keep it up. Also, it might be cool if someone translated 0 A.D. into Ancient Greek and Latin at some point!
-
I would like to propose an official name for this series of mods-- 0 A.D. Rise of the Bronze Sun. I chose this because in the Ancient Egyptian language Bronze Sun (ra Hsmn) also means Time or Age of Bronze (Bronze Age) so it has a double meaning. Our logo could be the 0 A.D. logo superimposed on a Bronze Sun. Just an idea though... does anyone else have any thoughts?
-
middle east are a rich cultural people.a bazaar(Grand Market/trade Income building ) may be are a special building than market?
Yeah! That's what I wanted the Treasury Special building to be. See in the design document for details.
-
The next alpha will include Mauryans right? I think it should be Magadha. It's the power base of the empire. They stretched their hands out from there and grabbed almost all of India.
Also Buddhism, Jainism, etc have roots from there.
I agree that it should have to do with Maurya India, but Megasthenes was the ambassador to India from a Hellenic kingdom in Syria, so, in reality, both Magadha and Megasthenes have to do with India, and Megasthenes has to do with relations between India and other civilizations that are in 0 A.D.
-
I like Megasthenes, but I also like Magadha... I think we should vote. Does anyone know if there's a way to do polls in this forum?
-
i like you have clear.
now we are most Organised than we predecessor .We must Study the Official One Mod "The rise of The East" by Kimball
It seems that they had a small group of people, each with specialized talents-- a few modelers, some programmers, a project leader. Would it be possible to get Kimball's help/ a few pointers, for our mod?
-
but must be in One Big Pack
I was thinking the same thing-- these divisions were just for administrative organization, we would release them all together though. I just wanted to specialize everyone who was working on the mod (It's an awfully large mod), so if you are an expert in a certain civilization, or are really interested/committed to seeing them in the game, you can be on that "team."
-
If you're interested in making mods for 0 A.D., then we need your help! We are currently beginning work on a series of 0 AD DLC modpacks focused around the Bronze Age Mediterranean. We are in need of Programmers, 3D Modelers, 2D Designers, and anyone else willing and able to help. Please reply to this post or to our thread in the Modifications section of the forum.

How about we split this mod into teams:
One team works on one "DLC Pack" at a time. Each DLC pack can get a new thread (or we can request a new subsection within this subforum) This way it's more organized and easier to sort through all of the research. And of course everyone can collaborate between the teams, but your team would be the DLC pack you feel that you most would like to see in the game. Here is what I'm thinking:
Africa DLC:
Egyptians (New Kingdom)
Nubians
A Sub-Saharan Kingdom (not sure yet, but maybe Kush... any ideas?)
Aegean/ European DLC:
Mycenaeans
Minoans
Hittites
Etruscans
Mesopotamian DLC:
Assyrians
Babylonians
Sumerians
(maybe Elamites?)
Canaanite DLC:
Hebrews/ Israelites
Phoenicians
Nabataeans
Any other ideas/ other civs to add?
-
is two ways, for Age and for Geography.
Also, I was thinking, that way we can all focus on just a single aspect of the mod at a time and it makes organizing the workload a lot easier. (ex: we could all start with Aegean civs and then later move on to doing African civs)
-
Here's what I posted to the Nabataean thread... It applies more here I think:
We could [separate DLC packs based on location and] have Mycenaeans Minoans, and maybe Trojans or Illyrians in an Aegan DLC and Assyrians, Babylonians, and Sumerians in a Mesopotamian DLC, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Nabataeans in a Canaanite DLC, and Egyptians, Nubians, and some other African Kingdom (Mythos Ruler had some ideas a while ago) in an Africa DLC pack. Any thoughts?-

That sounds good! I can help do more design documents for the other civs. Just add Nabataea to the list! Maybe instead of Bronze Age civs, since Nabataea is not really Bronze Age, we could do it by location. LIke we could have Mycenaeans Minoans, and maybe Trojans or Illyrians in an Aegan DLC and Assyrians, Babylonians, and Sumerians in a Mesopotamian DLC, Phoenicians, Hebrews, and Nabataeans in a Canaanite DLC, and Egyptians, Nubians, and some other African Kingdom (Mythos Ruler had some ideas a while ago) in an Africa DLC pack. Any thoughts?

If Lord Good has time maybe he could try to make some models...
but for now we can work on gathering research and 2D graphics (textures, emblems etc...) @Lion.Kanzen you seem to be pretty good at that.
For shields I was thinking something small and round like in those references on the first page of this thread. Wicker texture would be good. We an also do bronze shields and put some symbols like the ones I posted before on them.
-
and hebrews fights against Canaanites.
Technically speaking, Hebrews along with Moabites and Phoenicians are all Canaanites. so yes... Hebrews vs. Phoenicians or Hebrews vs. Hebrews would work.
-
I'd leave it as is and then just have the units be hellenized. I think it looks AMAZING.
-
Do we want to include China, or should we leave that to Rise of the East?
If we do, maybe we could merge mods with them.
-
The Mycenaeans and Hittites are also important to add.
Yes! I forgot about them. If we have Mycenaeans, we should also include Minoans. Also, maybe, Etruscans, Nubians, and Hebrews/ Israelites. And under Mesopotamian Civs there are also Babylonians and maybe Sumerians (they are a little too early, but might be interesting)
-
are Millenarian Cultures
.what are your skills? i mean to help me in this "mod".
I mostly do research and stuff like that, but I can sort of model. For now, I can only use SketchUp... when I have more time I'd like to learn Blender.
-
a Arabian Bazaar, i think that things don't change in many Centuries.
Yeah... I was looking up the Syriac/Aramaic word for market and it was actually something like baz'ar, so they really haven't changed much
[Collection] Bronze Age Civ Pack. Put Your Civs Here.

I would love to include them, don't get me wrong, it's just that they were more of a barbarian people who never really settled down, so buildings would be hard to make for them. We could, however, make them mercenaries for the Mycenaeans, as Lion.Kanzen prieviously mentioned. This mod will be really good!
