It is truth what you said - I don't know yet if there are some people who can do 3D models for free or in their spare times I must do some research first thanks

Thanks for all opinions I think if the game is set up in period 500 BC - 500 AD it should have all civilizations which existed that time - it is not important only which civilization did this or that or was more important or look better or was involved in war all the time and big battles for this you (players) can use Scenarios. But we should stick to the historical truth that those civilizations existed (not only Romans) and the rest when it comes to an enjoyment of playing game is a matter of imagination of the players. As a player I would love to think that big Roman Empire could be deafeted by Slavs or othe civilization which I choose - Do players always play according historical facts? Some yes but some want something different. You enjoy playing because everytime when you play ,you can change history at least on your computer. I take civilization which was not important in ancient times but im my game I will make it powerful and that's wonderful about RTS games. Thanks

Sorry my mistake - Slavs sold slaves in Roman Empire, most these slaves were Slavs from other Slavic tribes which were conquered by another Slavic tribes - therefore word "slave" comes from "Slav" and word Slav from "Słowianie" Thanks

I am sorry to tell you but your historical knowlege is very little when it comes to slavic culture. Slavs - "Słowianie" this word comes from word "słowo" - which means "word" - not "slave" - Słowianie because all tribes used the same words -" słowa" when they were speaking. Slavic tribes especially Polish tribes called German tribes "niemcy" - which means people who can't speak in way that you can understand literally "mute". If you had known Polish, Russion, Chech or Slovak or even Serbian You would know that Słowianie means - people who speaks the same language. They haven't been battled in a narrow sense of the word, but just "pushed aside" - that is not true because all middle and Eastern Europe was and is Slavic and never I say - Słowianie - (Slavs) never were conquered, by German, Saxons and Celtics tribes or even Romans (in period 500 BC till 1000 AD) - But England was conquered by Romans then by Saxons and then by Normans - three times - Celtics (In France - Gauls) were conquered by Romans, German tribes were conquered by Franks etc Romans merchants were buying amber (in the ancient - the most expensive one) from Baltic sea, there was a famous trade route http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Amber_Road which was very very important for Romans through Slavic territory. In the Roman times Slavs existed and Romans were aware of them. Romans traded with them. Slavs also organized battles and sold their enemies as slaves in Roman Empire. There are plenty examples - you should read more about it. But I assume that everyone in here has got his favourite civilization - mine are Slavs Thanks

Thanks for reply - so maybe Slavs (Sclavenes or Slavic people ) - they were ancestors of all Slavic countries in the middle and Eastern Europe? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slavs Concept for Slavs http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs#Physical_appearance Physical appearance http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs#Warfare Warfare http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs#Settlements Settlements http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs#Society Society http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_Slavs#Religion Religion Procopius of Caesarea completed his three works on Emperor Justinian I's reign (Buildings, History of the Wars, and Secret History) in the 550s. Each book contains detailed information on the raids by Sclavenes and Antes against the Eastern Roman Empire, but the History of the Wars provides a comprehensive description of them, including their beliefs, customs, and dwellings.

I would like to introduce new faction in 0 AD which are Polans (western). In the 9th century the Polans united several West Slavic groups (Pomeranians, Mazovians, Slezans, Vistulans etc). The union led by the Piast Dynasty developed into the Kingdom of Poland, whose name derives from that of the Polans. The Polans believed in many slavic gods - the most importent was - Świętowit -God of war, fertility and abundance (a four-headed god with two heads looking forward and two back.) The Polans fought mostly against German tribes and Russian ones. I am just wondering how I can start this project, ghraphics, animation etc or maybe there are some tools which I can use it, or for example I can use already one of the faction and then "apply a new graphics on it). I am not programmer, but I am quite good at GIMP (open source graphic software) but I am not an artist. I wish to help in some way to start new faction - Polans. I would be grateful if you give me any suggestions how I can start?.
