Hellenic Egypt, above is native levy pike men.

\ Decorations on the stupa.

Lovely boat. One of the best.

Looks great. Probably shouldn't put a beard on them though. From the reliefs and paintings they're mostly clean shaven. Beards is mostly a Persian-Mesopotamian thing.

Yeah, round. Maybe add jewelry(armlets, necklaces). Shows his prestige. Pretty much it I would guess.

Better scale armor references.

The scale armor should look like the drawing. And overlap like scale armor usually do. Like on the elephant you made.

Yeah, that looks great. The drawing on the right in particular looks great, but which ever one, just don't add the crown. Instead a turban like on the righ drawing.

It looks great. Two more to go. What are you or ndragu referencing for the other two?

Yeah, modern saris would look funny.

Not completely naked, just the upper torso exposed like the men. They wore some sort of dhoti, sometimes a skirt.

I hope you guys make it eventually. I thought this was cool.

They did away with that since Empire TW. There will be mods that unlock all the factions though like in Empire TW.

So epic back then.

Put together by a member in twcenter There will be many factions that are not playable like Seleucids, Iberians, Dacia, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.

TW games are so much fun!!

Yeah, totally a bummer.

Roman Republic Carthage Macedon Icenis (Briton tribe) Arverni (Gaulic tribe) Suebi (Germanic tribe) Parthia One more playable faction left

I dont know where to find a recreated one done so well like that painting. These are the references he most have used. It's a knot of hair covered in cloth or whatever. The richer, higher status you are it seems it's even bigger.

Yes, @ndragu.

^^^^^^^^ Someone needs to destroy that image of Ashoka that's been going around on the internet. The right image is an image of Buddha btw. The guy who made this seriously did his homework. http://i.imgur.com/4jDiLXO.jpg?2?2106 Anyways, I just hope they don't make Ashoka look like the portrait to be honest.

Most of the images of ancient India in general on the internet are no good. I only show peoples work that I can tell they used relief images, paintings, etc, etc, etc that are made from that period as references. Like that Sri Lankan painter. Nah, even most of them have long hair to knot style. http://www.wildfireg...460#entry263084

If you want it more authentic you should make the turban like this.. And base the portrait around this. Even though Indians then grew out their hair they would make a hair knot in front instead of letting it flow out.

It looks rather odd for Ashoka. The turban style, etc looks different. And the facial structure looks rather atypical.
