blablahead Posted July 17, 2009 Share Posted July 17, 2009 (edited) I was browsing through the internet and came across an article on Wikipedia about the Guanches, the precolonial population of the Canary Islands. To my surprise, it had a very detailed section about the warfare of this little known people. Inspired by DimitriRUS saying he wanted to put less known civilizations into his mod, I came up with the "Forgotten" Peoples mod. (Forgotten meaning not as well known as they could be)So far, I want to include the Guanches and the Maoris, both of which I have found plenty of information on. I think three civs would be more than enough, so if any one has any ideas for a third, that would be great. I was thinking something Sub-Saharan African maybe? I dunno...Anyways, this was kind of just a bizarre flash of creativity and inspiration that I had. Edited July 17, 2009 by blablahead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablahead Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 Some military ideas for the Maori:-The Maori are interesting for using no ranged weapons until the musket arrived with European settlers. -Very good at using defencive fortifications.Some unit ideas:Tao: Basic Maori warrior, armed with spear.Taiaha: Maori infantry armed with a long staff.Maripi: Highly feared warrior armed with a short club with a toothed edge.Pu: Musket armed Maori warrior.Waka: Huge canoe full of warriors.Buildings:Whare-tu-taua: Trains soldiers.

DimitriRUS Posted July 18, 2009 Share Posted July 18, 2009 Fascinating idea, will it be based on peoples of Oceania or other places such as Africa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blablahead Posted July 18, 2009 Author Share Posted July 18, 2009 It was just sort of a whim I had, so I don't really expect this to go that far, but I was thinking on focusing on people that don't get a lot of attention in games. So, no I don'k think it will focus on any geographical area particularily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
