Classical Warfare AEA

[Emacz]

Some of you have known the mod Historical Patch over the past few alphas. What started as a small side project during a25–a26 grew way beyond what I expected, thanks to everyone who asked questions, gave feedback, or just showed interest. Taking a break and coming back in a27 made me realize something important: this isn’t really a “patch” anymore.

So I’m giving the project a new name — Classical Warfare AEA.

Classical Warfare AEA (Africa–Europe–Asia) is all about bringing more authenticity and depth to the classical world in 0 A.D. The name reflects the game’s geographic range and also nods to the familiar “eae” tag that’s become part of the community’s culture.

The goal is simple: make the classical era feel richer, more grounded, and more interesting to explore.

One of the best parts of this project has been the people who’ve helped along the way. If you’re into ancient history, military systems, or just enjoy digging through sources, you’re welcome here. Modders, researchers, and especially artists — there’s plenty of room to contribute.

The project is shifting toward a clean, emblem‑style visual identity, so if you enjoy designing units, architecture, emblems, or UI elements, your work would be hugely appreciated.

I’m excited to keep building this with the community. Whether you want to help, give feedback, or just follow along, I’m glad to have you here.

I have a pretty "clean" updated version now (link above).  If anyone is interested in testing out with me that would be greatly appreciated!  If you test on your own via single player and notice anything off, please either pm me or post here! Thanks

@Atrik helped me so it should be easier for the mod to work.  I'm definitely looking for people who want to test it out.  One of the biggest things I think we've done so far (besides add more units) is increase resource gathering thus hopefully allowing for more early attacks/skirmishes and strats.

women gather rates 1.0 .75 3.0 .5 .25 .25 (Now only cost 40 food, 40 health)

Gender rather rates 1.0 .5 3.0 .8 .43 .43  (50 food 50 health)

CS gather rates .75 .25 3.0 .75 .4 .4

and then Serfs.... I think the game misrepresents the role of slingers in Classical Antiquity.  Talking to some of the historians who have helped on the game, a lot of the civs didnt have slingers per say.... they were more like low class citizens who were the laborers, but sometimes would need to skrimish throwing rocks or other small objects at the invaders. So the civs that have women only all have a serf unit.  For slingers its 50% less dmg, 25% less range but only cost 40F 10S and 10W

their gather rates are: .75 .25 3.45 .86 .46 .46 (Berries, farms, meat, wood, stone, metal)
