blablahead Posted December 12, 2008 Share Posted December 12, 2008 I think a mod set during the New Kingdom of Egypt timeline would be great, as it's one of my favorite parts of history. Factions could be Egyptians, Assyrians, Babylonians, Hittites, Hebrews, etc.Finding names for units could be a challenge though.Any thoughts?

Cassador_Chris Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Well, names shouldn't be too hard, as long as people can get their names on some Osprey books and some ancient language texts.I'll definately enjoy planning and arguing over different ideas. In fact, I worked on a project back in HeavenGames Age of Empires III forums where a bunch of people laid out an idea for a game called "Age of Antiquity". It eventually lost interest, but there is a ton of information there.

Silver Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Is there lots of original Ages of Empires on that forum (Heaven Games)?I'm registered on Age Community and ES is shutting down so all the good posters have left so I'm 2 almost 3 years older then everyone else who posts on that forum and plays the game.

blablahead Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 It was pretty easy actually to find a good amount of unit names for the Egyptians, but I don't think the others will be so easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cassador_Chris Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Whoah. Watch out everyone, a zombie! I'll make sure to double-tap this one this time... To answer your question, portutar, no, the Age of Antiquity mod hasn't been 'active' since '07. Though I personally would say that it was never active. It never got beyond the planning stages.

AllenY Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 THis sounds like a good idea, though Assyrians/Babylonians/Hebrews will be a problem since they all owned each others territory (part of) in different stages of histroy, and the Babylonians are just technically an offshoot of Assyria anyway.I might be wrong.

Atenmeses52 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 It was pretty easy actually to find a good amount of unit names for the Egyptians, but I don't think the others will be so easy.For the others we could use modern equivalent languages, ie: for the Hebrews use Modern, or even classical Hebrew, and the Assyrians can be using classical or modern Aramaic. Babylonians are a slight issue though-- maybe Iraqi Arabic would work? I don't think many people speak Akkadian anymore... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be better off making strange sounds until something is found. Iraqi Arabic does have some things that are unique to it, but I wouldn't think you could pass it off as Babylonian. Assyrian / Ashuri is much closer. There are "Caldi" Caldeans, (that also live in Irbil, though I think their language and the Assyrians are the same now. Alternate spelling (Chaldean).

AllenY Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 There could be a Greek nation too, Myceneans, right? I'm pretty sure it falls in the "Greek Dark Ages" but it seems that the Greek Dark AGes are just because archaeologists haven't found much, not because there isn't anything to find.

AllenY Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I did some research, the nations that are feasible during the New Kingdom period of Egypt are:AssyriansMyceneansNew Kingdom Egyptians (Obviously)HittitesBabyloniansMixed Central Europeans (e.g. Lusatians, Nuragic, etc.)If we also include Asian Civs, there isShang ChinaHarappansGojoseon KoreaThe Asian Civs might be a sort of "Part 2" for the mod, I don't know. Anyway, take your pick and let's get mining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
