    Please note, not every unit will have an aura or ability, some might have an aura, others an ability, while others will have both. I tried put auras and abilities that fitted their size, power and historically known abilities or what makes sense of course, like for example a Frost giant being able to freeze. Hero abilities and auras are meant to be powerful as you only have one Hero per a major deity. Note the auras are like normal auras, unlike the global deity powers which are essentially techs. God powers are reread still to be decided, I want to see what is possible at the moment in terms of God powers within the engine.

    Hi Alexander!

    First of all well done!

    1. İn terms of behavior it would be a special combat unit, the special thing about it, would be a charge ability that would knock enemies back, so if possible, can a charge animation be made?

    2. Forgive me if I am wrong, by props you mean their armor right? In that case, it would have a helmet like the one in your animations and light armor on its torso like an Archer or light calvary unit would have.

    3. For the melee centaur, a spear and shield would be used, however if the shield looks awkward, then it can be left out. For the ranged centaur, it would use a bow (I contemplated a javelin but a bow fits better imo).

    4. A light trot should work fine as a default walk.

    5. İt would be a champion soldier (so no resource gathering).

    6. İt would level up, start of poorly armored with a light helmet and breastplate but become increasingly heavily armored (within reason though), of course the melee centaurs would resemble hoplites slighty when fully promoted and the ranged ones would resemble greek archers when fully upgraded. 

    7. No, they would use a regular spear, shield and bow respectively, perhaps slighty larger due to their size (whatever looks fitting of course).

    Sorry for the late reply and long answer, I hope this answers your questions! Thank you very much!

    What happens is that you choose a Major God at the beginning of the match. This determines which Minor Gods you have access to later. At each phase advancement you get to choose a new Minor God to add to your pantheon based on your Major God choice. Each choice unlocks new monsters, technologies, and God Powers specific to that god. 

    This is the plan if the minor god concept is possible in 0 ad. In this mod Major Gods give a choice between two unique techs and minor gods only give one unique tech. There might be 6 minor gods due to the 3 phases of 0 ad's civ center. 2 per a major god.

    Hello, my native language is Spanish.
    I support this project 100%.

    I can help with the idea of the mythological game.
    I was diagramming in an excel (microsoft) ideas of a game of mythology.
    I have already chosen the resources that the mod will have:
    food, wood, gold (metal), favor, export (the latter new)
    8 factions (Greek-Atlanteans, Nordics, Celts, Vedas [Hindu], Mesoamerican, Chinese, mythology of tribes [Yoruba]). All with the chosen god and its corresponding power and its main mythological unit.
    Besides, I had already decided the generation of favor of each civilization and its heroes and its unique human unity.
    These 8 factions, are divided into 4 groups:
    Where they share by group:
    1- system of similar villagers,
    2- most important resource (with the objective of developing the civ)
    3- units of intermediate ages (I already have them chosen)
    I have chosen the building system.

    if they want I contribute my excel !!! so they discard my ideas and other ideas are born

    The question I ask the developer of the mod is:
    The idea is to make a game type Age mythology or one with very good historical base like 0 a.d?
    If it is one with a good historical base ... would not all civilizations have similar humanities and the potential of the game will be diminished?

    Hi! 

    I appreciate your feedback! The mod will have a semi-historical focus, with probably an emphasis on fun and playibilty over a purely historical focus. Feel free to discuss with the Dev team on the ideas channel on discord concerning your ideas!

    Since Serapis did have elements of Hades, I would recommend a different god for the Ptolemies like Harpocrates.  This deity was basically the Greek interpretation of the child-god version of Horus and played a fairly important role in religion there.

    Yes you're right. Harpocrates would fit well! Feel free to join the discord too.
