Fionn Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) How about the Tocharians; the mysterious white/Europoid people that helped spread Buddhism in China. And let's not forget about the nomads of the east: the (proto-)Mongols, the Scythians and the Turks (eg. the Tartars, Uyghurs, etc). Unfortunately, we do not know if the Xiongnu (and/or the Huns) were proto-Mongolian, Turkic, or both...Oh and should an Indian civilization be included, someone should be able to make an Indo-Greek faction.

Kimball Posted January 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 Initially it was three factions, but we've cut it down to just China for the time being so we don't get lost in an over-ambitious project.We were planning for Mauryan India, Han China and probably Yayoi Japan.

Aldandil Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 The separate forum allowed the team to operate privately in preparation for the release and have control over groups permissions. More importantly though, we were able to escape from use of IPB. I gotta be honest, I hate this forum software. Oh, so it's all about secrecy and tyrannical control over "your" forumites, and an irrational hatred of IPB, is that it?Just kidding, that all makes sense.

Kimball Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 For those interested, here are a couple of new screenshots:One thing you may have noticed that stands out in the screenshots above is our introduction of paddy farms. As an alternative to traditional wheat farms that other factions can build, the Chinese may construct paddy farms. They are a bit more expensive but they replenish faster than wheat farms, allowing the player to task more gatherers on it without having to worry about their farms depleting rapidly.

Gen.Kenobi Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Looking neat, but maybe they would look better in High-Resolution? With shadows and everything else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Yeah unfortunately the guy who has been doing the screenshots can't figure out where the game is saving them to.. so he can load them himself but he can't upload them. He also appears to be limited by his screen size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDM Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 This is very cool and different. I'm glad you decided to work on one civilization for now instead of three so that it'd be more polished. I'm expecting great things from this, and I hope there are some cool historical tidbits whether they be articles or units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ake Posted May 10, 2011 Report Share Posted May 10, 2011 Today, we are proud to announce the first design team dedicated to 0 A.D. Scion Development is a collection of ambitious developers and game enthusiasts who have come together to develop third-party content for Wildfire Games' real-time strategy title. Our group of talented, tight-knit designers donate their free time to development with a common goal in mind: to contribute to the 0 A.D. community and further the limits of the game.After extensive construction of the team's logistic aspects, we are thrilled to announce our debut project, The Rise of the East, introducing a brand new faction to the game: China. As a team, our mission is to deliver quality modifications and scenarios to the game community, all while adhering to a policy of high expectations and strong work ethics. Through our dedication to development, we hope to become an integral part the 0 A.D. community.Thanks for your project! 0 A.D. is a great game, and I think it is a very good idea to add the Han Dynasty of China into this game.The figures of infantrymen are close to the Han style. Have you seen the pottery figurines of the Han Dynasty? It will be better that many details of figures in the game can be improved. Buildings and other facilities need improvement, too.I am very interested in the culture of the Han Empire and the things related to the Han army. Perhaps I can give some suggestions.

Chakakhan Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Rob, how is this going? The bits and pieces you have so far are really beautiful. Keep up the good work, I wanna play this bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theShadow Posted June 18, 2011 Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 what's the chance of this being put into 0ad as official content, just out of curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimball Posted June 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2011 Rob, how is this going? The bits and pieces you have so far are really beautiful. Keep up the good work, I wanna play this bad!Well, I'll be the first to admit that the team has hit a slight speed bump. Our forum crashed for a few months and the team hasn't quite recovered from the lack of communication yet.Though we haven't given up, we could certainly use all the help we can get!

darklight Posted October 17, 2011 Report Share Posted October 17, 2011 Would the localization for the Chinese names be changed from Mandarin Pinyin to Old Chinese?http://www.eastling.org/oc/oldage.aspx (only works w/ Traditional characters) 兵營 - praŋ ɢʷeŋ刀斧手 - taaw paʔ hnjɯwʔ長矛兵 - taŋʔ mu praŋ弩手 - naaʔ hnjɯwʔ(However, those pronunciations are Zhou-era pronunciations) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribalbeat Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 It's such a shame to see a project like this disappear without any noise. Would the Devs of 0 A.D. at least add the finished Chinese units to the map editor perhaps in the next release? If only for us to tinker around with and imagine what might have been.

plumo Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I hope the mod doesnt die. And in case it dies, I hope you guys join the main devs again and bundle strengths to finish 0 AD ASAP . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aldandil Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 Don't they have their own separate website and forum? They're not necessarily dead, even if they stop posting their progress here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimball Posted November 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2011 The team is currently struggling a bit, but be assured that we haven't forgotten about it completely. We're just very busy people!Also, if you've tried to register on our forums recently and either haven't been able to or were never approved by an administrator, please contact one of us. Matthijs and I were getting several emails a day from bots registering and it just got to the point of being obnoxious. As soon as I figure out how to keep bots from registering (shouldn't be too difficult, just takes some time), I can open up registrations again. In the interim, you're going to have to have one of us approve you manually.You can email support(a)sciondevelopment,com and one of us will help you out.Thanks for your feedback guys, it's always good to hear from our supporters!

It's been a long time...Edge of the City by MrEmjerTo keep up to date with our latest progress, follow us on Twitter or ModDB!**For best results, use both.
