Assyrian army before Neo Assyrian Empire

My concept of mini factions: 1. Civilized mini factions - a settled faction that looks like a major faction in the game, have a civic center and able to build all kinds of building and train their own units even champion unit just like any major faction, capable to expand its territory and have its own abilities to make diplomatic decisions. 2. Nomadic mini factions - a faction who have a mobile settlement or no settlement at all, some of these factions was able to pack and unpack their civic center as they wish, like the civilized mini factions have diplomatic stance that enable them to forge alliance with human player or even non human player or vice versa they could wage war against human player or non human opponent. structures are less complicated than any civilized factions but some of these nomadic mini factions was able to transform themselves into a civilized mini factions given a considerable time and resources. 3. Pastoral mini factions - a mini factions that have the trait of a civilized mini faction and nomadic mini factions, looks like a civilized mini faction but yet lacks the full ability of a civilized mini faction capable of making diplomatic decision and have the ability to transform themselves into a civilized mini faction like the nomadic mini faction.

What about the diplomacy between major factions and mini factions?

Perhaps you could turn these units as town patrol, night watch and angry mob for special scenario or certain custom campaign.

Sorry for these ruckus, i think we'll just seal off this topic.

Sea People becomes Philistine was quite easy although not all Sea People were Philistines but Lydians and Neo Hittite was a different matter even their language was the same. The other matter that differs Neo Hittite and the Lydians was the cultural exchange between Lycians, Carians and most of all the Greeks from mainland Greece that transform Lydia into a melting pot of east and western culture which could cause trasformation process from Neo-Hittite to Lydia more difficult tin the game. What about the Neo Babylonians?

Well, here it is:

More Picture on the way.

Here's an article about Lydia from Livius: http://www.livius.org/lu-lz/lydia/lydia.html Hopefully the mod team consider my proposal. Thank you.

I watch the video three times, it is sad to see how CA ruin the title for the sake of profit.

Generic Name: Citizen-Militia Cavalry. Specific Name: Hippakontistès Politès. Class: Cavalry Skirmisher 2. Ranged Armament: Javelins. Clutch of Javelins in his left hand. Appearance: Basic: . Advanced: N/A. Elite: N/A. History: . Garrison: 2. Function: . Special: Trained from the Civic Center-only. Trains fast, but weak. Does not promote to higher ranks. Do we need this?

Generic Name: Companion Cavalry. Specific Name: Hetairos. Class: Cavalry Spearman. Hacker Armament: Macedonian cavalry lance, the "xyston". Decorative sword. Appearance: Basic: . Advanced: . Elite: . Figure(s): - History: There were two guard cavalry regiments, each 1,000 strong. These were the Agema (the 'Guards') and the Hetairoi ('Companions'). The Hetairoi were recruited from the younger generation of military settlers and acted as the standing guard cavalry unit of the army, serving in peace and in war. However it seems that writers referred to them by several names other than just the 'companions'; the basilike ile ('royal squadron' or 'regia ala' according to Livy), and the hippos hetairike ('horse companions'). Their full title may well have been the 'royal ala of the companions'. Garrison: 2. Function: Good vs. Skirmishers and Swordsmen, poor vs. Spearmen and Archers. Special: Upon promoting to the 3rd ('elite') rank, the Companion becomes a Cataphract champion cavalry with extra armor and attacking power. Why don't we merged two unit as one because it doesn't worth the resources to train Hetairos while we could train Kataphraktos or unless it's main function was to portray the evolution of the Seleucid shock cavalry?

You mean Old Persian?

Glitch? oh no, not a glitch in Rome series again.
