  1. Beware that a reconstruction doesn't really determinate its meaning. The meaning is generally deduced from the descending languages inheriting the root. A reconstruction generally means we have no evidence for this word in Proto-Germanic, we are relying on later evidence from descending languages. The Gothic language is well documented from the 4th century AD onwards. That's the earliest Germanic language with significant information. Most of the other Germanic languages are really documented from the 8th century AD only. The usage and meaning of certain words can have changed significantly between two Germanic languages simply because of the time that has passed. For example the word *þurpą became þaurp in Gothic, which means farmland or farmstead, since it is used in the Gothic bible to translate the word agrós. In Old High German, the word became thorpf and it seems it is used in the Codex Abrogans (8th century AD) to translate the Latin villa, not in a large village meaning but more as a farmstead. But in Old Saxon, it seems the word changed its meaning and became used to designate a hamlet or a village.
  2. Haimaz, Wihsa, Burgz Haimaz for home, hamlet, village. Wihsa for village or settlement in general. Burgz for town, stronghold.
  3. That's why initially I proposed a tutorial on Alexander the Great's youth. Aristotle was his primary tutor from the age of 13. In 340 BC, the 16 years old Alexander was regent of the kingdom when his father laid siege to Perinthus and Byzantium. He fought and defeated the Maedi revolt, a Thracian tribe. He colonized their territory and founded a city which he named Alexandropolis. In 338 BC, he participated decisively at the battle of Chaeronea against the Thebans. He is clearly the best historical figure for a tutorial that builds to a crescendo and precedes an epic campaign. Edit, short introductions about the story: Edit: past messages
  4. I think it is because @Nesciowanted to remove the feature, arguing that siege equipments cannot be used without the engineers/experts necessary.
  5. I put it there to not open a new thread for it. If it is an interesting task, open up a new thread.
  6. Ara Pacis or Altar of Peace The Ara Pacis Augustae (Altar of Augustan Peace) is a renowned monument in Rome, commissioned by the Senate in 13 BC and dedicated in 9 BC to honor Emperor Augustus’s return from Spain and Gaul. Located in the Campus Martius, it represents the "Pax Romana" through marble reliefs featuring imperial processions, mythological figures, and fertility scenes, symbolizing peace and prosperity.
  7. A documentary on the Angles during the Roman Iron Age (1 - 375) and Migration period (375 - 568). A disclaimer: this video comes from the conservative sphere. This is a video that is fairly factual about archaeology and history. However, sharing the video here does not mean that we endorse all of the messages on this YouTube channel. Keep an open but critical mind.
  8. I think yes it would be better. You can make a ditch around the kurgan with a small pallisade and there add an entrance, with the statues.
  9. The earliest evidence for runes is the Meldorf brooch, dated around 50 AD. So no runes for the Cimbri. Petroglyph production declined sharply after 600 BC and it is really difficult to date a petroglyph. Furthermore, there is not a large quantity of petroglyphs in Denmark. Those were mostly found in Sweden and Norway. I would avoid petroglyphs for the Cimbri. It looks a lot like a boat burial, when a person is buried with a boat. Which is not attested for this period. The sinking of the Hjortspring boat is more probably a votive deposit, an offering to deities, from a war booty or a trophy. Furthermore, you choose a very small boat and you emphasize much more on the stone circle. Which is a bit problematic because the boat is probably the most important part.
  10. Vidéo+de+Evgueni+Kraї(2).mp4 I think you have enough variation
  11. I think the transmission of metrics is disabled by default on installation.
  12. Arsacids / Parthians Bactrian camels: Certainly Yes (Logistics) Dromedary: Certainly Yes (Logistics) Greco-Bactrians Bactrian camels: Certainly Yes (Logistics) Dromedary: Certainly No Tocharians and Yuezhi Bactrian camels: Certainly Yes (Logistics) Dromedary: Certainly No Bedouins Dromedary: Certainly Yes (Logistics & Combat) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Himyar Dromedary: Certainly Yes (Logistics & Combat) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Axum Dromedary: Certainly Yes (Logistics) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Macrobia Dromedary: Probably Yes (Logistics) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Garamantes Dromedary: Certainly Yes (Logistics & Combat) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Gaetuli / Libyans Dromedary: Probably Yes (Logistics & Combat) Bactrian camels: Certainly No Numidians Dromedary: Certainly No Bactrian camels: Certainly No Mandé–Soninke and Sao Dromedary: Certainly No Bactrian camels: Certainly No
  13. Are you sure there is evidence of their usage by Northern Indians? Bactrian camels were used by the Achaemenid Persians and by the Indo-Scythian kingdom for war, but not in a great scale. And it doesn't seem the Greeks of Bactria used it for war, only for logistics. I think the first to introduce its use for war in Indian regions are nomads (Indo-Scythians and Kushans).
  14. I think these are artistic interpretations, not faithful reconstructions, but you can use them for your mod. I don't think so. Not before the Pratihara dynasty.

  16. All illustrations depict the same event: Sanghamitta's arrival in Sri Lanka and the transport of the Bodhi Tree. This is a myth that is still very important today for some people, so one should not expect the illustrations to accurately represent historical reality. It should also be remembered that these representations have a nationalistic character. Sri Lanka is divided into two populations that are in conflict, one Buddhist and the other Hindu or Muslim. There is a Sinhalese artist called Prasanna Weerakkody who made some historical illustrations, some of them have been used already by 0AD team to modelize the ships. However, you should note that the event from Sri Lanka are not connected to the Mauryan empire:
  17. An interesting video with several proposals on cohesion. A few ideas could be inspiring for 0 A.D.
  18. Editing directly in the XML files? Not very simple for most people. There are at least 8 python scripts in the pages you linked.
