  1. Civ: Minoans

    in Aristeia

    Posted

    So, I've been researching a bit (and sorry for my late reply again, but I'm gonna have an exam in July)

    but I have a few questions:

    1. What kind of language are they supposed to speak? Do we have any alternatives?

    2. What about Hero-Units? We don't know any Minoan heroes.

    3. Who wants to help with the Minoans? Just PM me :D

  2. Where are you from?

    Yes, here I am Japanese, and I like Gỏi cuốn, or summer roll, it tastes good!

    初めまして。クリスと申します。僕は日本人じゃないけど、大学で日本語を勉強しています。どうぞよろしくお願いします ^_^

    Hey, I don't really know, where my nickname comes from, I just wanted to have a "cool" name back then (that's also the reason why it has a capital H in it :D)

    I'm from Germany (GMT+1)

    Dann bin ich nicht der einzige aus Deutschland hier und herzlich willkommen ;)

  3. Civ: Minoans

    So far what we I about the Minoans:

    - Known for their palatial buildings

    - Great trading-Network (to the Middle east, Egypt etc.)

    - Undeciphered script

    - Worshipped primaly goddesses

    - Were probably conquered later by the Mycenaeans

    - Against the common believe, the Minoans were not peaceful and had soldiers

    I need 2D figure.

    Ok I can look after one

    That axe is a weapon known as the Labrys.

    Possibly infantryman? Would it be considered a sword type infantry? Despite having an axe?

    Hmm... AFAIK, this was used for ritual purposes, but maybe can figure something out ;)

  9. Faction: The Japanese

    in 1,000 A.D.

    Posted · Edited by Riamesesa

    I did some research (by looking at my old notes and searching through the web) and made this brief historical overview

    A brief overview of the History of Japan: From Asuka to Heian

    Asuka-Period (552A.D. – 710 A.D.) / Nara-Period (710A.D. – 794 A.D.)

    -Buddhism became a state religion in Japan

    -Adoption of Chinese characters, in Japan known as Kanji

    -Chinese (Sui and T’ang Dynasty) pattern of centralized government through various reforms, codes etc. (e.g.Taika Reform, Taihō Code and Ritsuryō system)

    -Establishment of the first Japanese capital: Heijō-kyō (today known as Nara)

    [Capital was modelled after the Chinese capital Chang-An]

    -Tōdaiji was built

    Heian-Period (794A.D. – 1192.A.D.)

    -Capital moved from Nara to Heian-kyō (known as Kyōto today)

    -Court dominated by the Fujiwara-Clan (mostly through marriage)

    -Gradual decline of Chinese influence

    -Considered to be the Golden Age of Japanese art, especially for its poetry and literature

    -Invention of Kana, syllabic Japanese writing system (Hiragana and Katakana)

    -New Buddhist sects were imported (e.g. Tendai and Shingon Buddhism, esoteric sects)

    Later Heian-period (around 1068 A.D.)

    -Go-Sanjō Tennō assumed the throne (determined to rule the country by himself)

    -Decline of the Fujiwara-Clan’s power (They failed to control the new Tennō, because his mother was not a Fujiwara)

    -Two clans, Minamoto (Genji) and Taira (Heike), gained power

    -Rise of the Samurai class

    -Genpei-War (Conflict between Taira and Genji, which resulted in the fall of the Taira)

    -Establishment of the Kamakura Shogunate and thus ending the Heian-Period

  16. Faction: The Japanese

    in 1,000 A.D.

    Posted

    Sure, I'll do my best ^_^

    Ok, I saw that the timeframe of Millenium A.D. is from 476 A.D. till 968 A.D.

    So it means that it comprises 4 periods of Japanese history:

    古墳時代 : Kofun-jidai (approx. 300 -552) [A.D.] (maybe too early?)

    飛鳥時代 : Asuka-jidai (552-710)

    Note: Instead of Asuka and Kofun, you can simply say 大和時代 Yamato-jidai (250-710)

    奈良時代 : Nara-jidai (710-794)

    平安時代 : Heian-jidai (794-1192)

    note: jidai, basically means era or period in japanese

    Not sure If he can count as a hero, but the first person that pops into my mind from the Asuka-Period would be "Shōtoku Taishi"

    Hello Council of Modders,

    I’m Riamesesa and I’ve been playing 0.A.D for almost or year or so. Also a big historical RTS fan and been playing ‘em since the days of good ol’ AOE 1.

    Anways, I actually wanted to help you out with the Mods, but unfortunately I don’t have any programing skills nor do I know how to model in 3d or anything like that. Sorry. :unknw:

    (I can draw, though xD)

    However, if you’re still looking for a researcher, I’m your man B)(I happen to study history at my university).

    I’m familiar with History of all kind, be it Ancient Egypt, Middle Ages ect.

    Besides that, I speak German, Polish, English, Japanese and somewhat Ancient Egyptian, in case if you need a translator.

    I'd be happy to be part of your team.

    Cheers

    Riamesesa
