dankl__ Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 in mythos faction list he has both imperial rome and eastern rome but wouldnt it make more sense to have imperial rome as the faction and east/west rome as the sub-factions (kinda like athens/sparta/macedon are all hellenes) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Because the Roman army was much different when the East and West split up, than during Augustan or Trajan times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankl__ Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Because the Roman army was much different when the East and West split up, than during Augustan or Trajan times.i see where your coming from but then you could end up with the western roman empire fighting imperial rome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Rome had many many civil wars. I see no problem with this. Part I will have the Persian Empire fighting with the Iberians. No problem with that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted July 27, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankl__ Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 i mean its fine that way and ill definatley play the game either way, but that would have romans from 300AD fighting ones from 400-500AD kind wierd when u think about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBlack103 Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Well, I'm a supporter of Imperial/West Rome being subfactions, there would just be more individuality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plumo Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Talking about the Roman Empire, especially the western part allowed different tribes of germanic people to settle across the Rhine. It would be cool to choose as a sub-faction a germanic people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be cool to choose as a sub-faction a germanic people. They settled down, and fought for the romans as Foederati, I think it should stay that way.

NOXAS1 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 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.The Jews are actually called Israelites and they managed to survive and now still are in a hostile invironment. Jews is a religion but it is another name for Israelis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirePowa8 Posted August 23, 2008 Report Share Posted August 23, 2008 All I want to see is the "barbarian" factions done faithfully, without the essence of Roman propaganda seaming through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undo Posted August 25, 2008 Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Sassanids had the biggest empire in 0AD part II timespan, so I'm counting on their appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted August 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2008 Ummm, Sassanids...I don't think so. The Turkic tribes did arrive on scene, but the Sassanids... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassador_Chris Posted August 28, 2008 Report Share Posted August 28, 2008 Ummm, Sassanids...I don't think so. The Turkic tribes did arrive on scene, but the Sassanids...Uh... The Turks didn't arrive in the Middle East or Europe until the 11th century, and their arrival was one of the reasons for the initiation of the Crusades.The Sassanid persian dynasty replaced the feudal-like Parthian lords in the 200s AD, and continued on at varying degrees of power until the 600s, when they were kicked out of power by the Arabs. So, wouldn't they be perfect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Turks didn't arrive in the Middle East or Europe until the 11th century, and their arrival was one of the reasons for the initiation of the Crusades.Actually, I read, that Emperror Heraclius invaded Persian empire in cooperation with Turks.But that is perhaps off the scope of 0AD part II.

NOXAS1 Posted August 29, 2008 Report Share Posted August 29, 2008 True but then what would you call citisens of Judea?depends when it was when the Israelis had Judea it was probably the same i only know enough to get by wait I know Judeans idk its just a guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassador_Chris Posted August 31, 2008 Report Share Posted August 31, 2008 Actually, I read, that Emperror Heraclius invaded Persian empire in cooperation with Turks.Interesting. I'm not exactly sure when the Turks became a distinct people, but the Turks you referred to here must be of a different tribe than the ones I mentioned. Very interesting. Perhaps 'Turk' at one point just represented people from a certain region or certain lifestyle, and later developed into a broader term that specified cultural/linguistic similarities. I do know that the 'medieval' Turkic tribes often included several ethnicities, from Mongoloid to Semetic to European. It would be an interesting subject to look into, though.I apologize though. I should have probably said 'Seljuk Turks'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justinian Posted September 3, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2008 I said Turkic, a people who arrived from the steppes and formed serveral cultures in and around the ?Black? sea (Georgia), THey later formed the Seljuk Turks.

Apomonomenos Posted September 7, 2008 Report Share Posted September 7, 2008 Aren't the Turks in the time of 0 AD just a tribe in the Persian Empire in Asia and Asia Minor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Belisarivs Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Aren't the Turks in the time of 0 AD just a tribe in the Persian Empire in Asia and Asia Minor?Definitely not in Asia Minor.Asia Minor was badly depopulated during conflict between East Rome and Persians after Maurices assassination.Turks didn't come here until 11. century.

catalin Posted February 2, 2009 Report Share Posted February 2, 2009 here i tought about some civilizations for the game:-the dacians(they are not very known in the games but they are a great civilization)-the egyptians(i dont know why they are missing in the game)-the huns(mongolians) (better call them mongolians because the huns got to europe in the late 8th century)in my opinion/a good rts game has to have good graphics(this already has it) has to have many civilizations and many types of units and has to be able to support many units while playing.bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
