^^^^^^^
Plus, a lot of the structures now are overwhelmingly stone based.
Or have the brick marks visible(CC, Barracks, etc, etc). When in fact they were mostly wood or plastered over like this.
No stone, brick marks should be shown.

Chanakya show does an amazing job at recreating that era accurately.
Now compare to this texture.

This is because you guys went back to Egg inspired original Mauryan work i think.
-
The early ones under chandragupta was wooden. The greek diplomat mentioned this. Later they moved on to the brick like in the reliefs. You guys can pick either, but you guys already used so much bricks on other structure. Just saying.
-
The early Mauryans used wood, then moved on to stone in Ashoka+. Their successors(relief) carried on the brick design. You guys already used a lot of stone on barracks, cc, castle anyways.

Triangle shape
The walls should pretty much look like this. With the brick marks visible not plastered over like on the relief.
-
It would be nice to find some flavor of heavy infantry units in the Mauryan faction.
Maybe the champion can get scale armor, but doesn't offer as much protection as western units.
-
Yes please, walls are more important
lilstewie's already shown us that some stupa's weren't plastered at all - so both the unplastered and partly plastered versions will be used and are 'historically' sound.
Such large stupas would be plastered for sure. People would probably think it was unfinished if they saw a large stupa with brick marks still showing.
The example below is rather small, humble. Amd also atypical because it doesnt have plaster over the bricks.

They're one of the easiest factions to steam roll actually.

Color shouldn't look weathered on it.
-
Yeah, you're right. You wont really see much of it in the game anyways.

+ Looks a lil different.
I mean the lions posture.
-
You've seen this pic before, but you can see the same stupa on the left(also another on the right). It's Prasanna Weerakkody's take on it.
-
Here's a stupa that's a little bit newer than Maurya era.
relief
reconstruction, also white.
-
Do you mean a full-white-plastered stupa? All references show the bricks :-/
Do we want a white boring stupa then? I just want to hear more opinions
It's up to you guys, but historically they plastered pretty much a lot of things. Including stupas. I personally also like what you have too.
In the reliefs they would make those brick marks visible.. Like examples below.
^^^
Above shows walls, etc with bricks without plaster over it.
If you look at most of the stupas they have plaster over it.
etc
This is the only one below I have seen without a layer of plaster. It's a small one.
You can see a layer of plaster still on it.
-
@E those stupas are plastered over. You won't see the brick marks.

Love the scaffolding.
Kerala is my ancestral land.
So yay.-

Looks kewwwll..

The Ptolemics had a dynasty that 300 years. They had an excellent economy and military. It is just the fact that the Ptolemic kingdom is a hybrid of cultures is why I am guessing that some people do not like the Ptolemics to be included in the game?
I thought they were a hybrid culture, but I have been reading that their military make up is basically Macedonian. But they obviously had to hire natives later on.
Ptolemaics weren't more specific faction than Seleucids
While the Seleucids military is very diverse.
But, yeah, Enrqiue and Lordgood have started work already so it's pointless.

right
Ancient Indian bowmen
ancient indian buddhist warrior

I'd love to see a Selecucid fighting male chicken in the game!

-
Is it 100% set in stone that Ptoemaic Kingdom will be the next faction?
Because there are other interesting factions with interesting units and civ.
Like
Kingdom of Pontus
http://en.wikipedia....ngdom_of_Pontus
Kingdom of Armenia
http://en.wikipedia....nia_(antiquity)
Seleucids empire
http://en.wikipedia....Seleucid_Empire
Seleucids in a way connects Mauryans to the rest. And their rooster is pretty amazing!

Well, judging by the civilizations, especially the original six, yes.
Not really
The first edition of 0 A.D. will allow the player to control any of six ancient civilisations from the pre-common era. Each culture will be represented at the peak of its civilisation, somewhere along the timeline of 500 B.C. to 1 B.C.They even put the Mauryans in who arent even close to the Mediterranean. So it's not completely restricted to that area.
-
I would much rather see the Chinese in a mod that would do their greatness justice, than have them oddly lumped in in a Mediterranean-centric game.
0 AD is a Mediterranean-centric game?? I just thought it was empires from 500BC-0AD??
They sure are doing Mauryans justice btw.

Originally Enrique was in this direction. Like 90+% of the buildings were plastered over.
