  4. I hate to be a know-it-all...

    ...but Germanic isn't a noun, it's a verb. If you are referring to a warrior, he is Germanic but he isn't a Germanic. He's a German. His men are Germans, not Germanics. I keep seeing Germanics throughout the site so I thought it was worth throwing this out there for the game designers to see.

  8. AI Sub-Factions

    I hate to annoy you guys with another question, but will the player be able to choose what sub-faction the AI will select? I don't like being picky like this, but if I am having a battle with the Celts over Gaul, I would not want them to choose the Britons.

    You know how I mentioned Scythians before? Well I never really thought into the Sarmatians as Scythians. Hahaha looks like I will get my way anyway (if Scipii_Alemanus has his way)! : P

    Sorry if this is off topic, but can you choose your/the computer's subfaction before the match begins? Thanks.

    Take this with a grain of salt, because I am a developer, but (!!!!) if I had my way (!!!) the faction list would look like this...

    • Imperial Romans - "Western" Romans during the 1st and 2nd centuries. These are the Pax Pomana Romans, from Augustus to Marcus Aurelius.
    • Eastern Romans - "Late" and "Early Byzantines"-style Romans of the late empire. Lots of chain mail. Round shields. Long swords. Medieval looking.
    • Dacians - A Thracian-style faction with Germanic and Sarmatian infuences. Had 3 important wars against Roman, finally succumbing to the Romans under Trajan.
    • Huns - Nomadic, buildings are either mobile (like the Norse "resource cart" from AOM) or can pack up and move (like the "trebuchet" from Age of Kings). They also gain a lot from looting. Highly mobile and cavalry-based.
    • Parthians - Part 2's desert faction. Cavalry based. Lots of raiding. Lots of archery.
    • Germanics - They'll have many sub-factions to choose from. Ostrogoths, Visigoths, etc.

    Hm I like this. I'm not too crazy on having another Iranian faction though. Also, I can't make my mind up on Byzantium. I do not know much about the Dacians but from what I have read they sound good enough to put in the game. At least we can agree on the Germans (infantry?) and the Huns.

    This looks so much more like a list for a Bronze Age mod.

    Part 2 is based from AD1 to AD500. Also, try narrowing your field here as so far 0AD comprises of mostly European Races/Tribes.

    0AD pt.II is the Romanized version and they've heavily hinted (if not declared) that there will be TWO Roman Factions

    A better list would be:

    • Western Romanii
    • Eastern Rhomiaon
    • Goths (if its Ostro or Visi, who cares)
    • Saxons (Sachsens)
    • Frisians
    • ?Berber Tribes?
    • And other notable "barbarorum"

    Oops, almost forgot the Angles.

    I like it, but why waste time with all the Germanic groups? They are probably going to make the Germans a civilisation anyway. Also, I think Carthage may have been a Berber state. I mean look at the location. Just my opinion however.

    Africans pretty much falls under Egyptians, Persians, and Iberians. Gauls (which u misspelled) are the same thing as Germans. I don't think that Jews would be a civ, because that is a religion, not a race or tribe. The Arabs came after the Romans, and so did the Turks.

    First off, I mean the black Africans, such as the Nubians (the Persians have little to do with Africa besides holding Egypt for a little). Second off, I said the Gaels (known as the Scoti in Latin). The Gauls were Celts like the Gaels, Britons, Picts, and Galations (who I am adding to the list). Their is a Jewish ethnicity, and the story of Hanukkah comes from the Jewish war with the Greeks. There were always Arabs, and there were always Turks. The Persians have been battling Arabs long before Muhammad's rise to power. The Turks have been raiding Greek, Chinese and Persians alike for centuries (before Turkey and Islam).

    0 A.D. Part II? Sounds great.

    My Suggested Civilisation List

    -Africans

    -Arabs

    -Babylonians

    -Egyptians

    -Gaels (Celts with a raider navy)

    -Galatians

    -Germans (including Scandinavians)

    -Huns

    -Jews

    -Phoenicians

    -Picts (Celts of Caledonia, the naked blue ones)

    -Slavs

    -Scythians

    -Turks (Turkic people in general)

    *Of these I think the Egyptians, Germans and Huns are the most important

    Persian and Iberian? Oh I can't wait. The gender system is very accurate and accuracy is best. It shows that the history guys are working hard and are not afraid of political correctness. English English is more proper and I am very happy that it will be featured in the game.
