@Stan` Could you help us upload this version to Mod.io?

This version is simply the old mod with very few changes, however, in this process I saw several points that could be altered.

1 - Focus on the end of the Bronze Age (Assyrian Empire, New Egyptian Empire);

2 - Exclude the ArkGreek models (generic and uninteresting), and instead develop Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations from the models we already have (I created a Minoan spearman, it was pretty cool);

3 - Includes art for the Jewish civilization (but I will validate if I can use it), however I will be careful not to fall into certain exaggerated content.

4 - I used existing Bkg civilizations, I can create new unique ones for each civilization.

5 - A Nubian kingdom would be interesting and easy to create, in this category a Phoenician kingdom would also be.

6 - I know there are several interesting civilizations to include, but I want to be realistic in this regard.

NOTE: Any help is welcome (especially art and code).For those who don't yet have experience in mod development, but are willing to learn, I can help by teaching what little I know.

New Structures, units and art for Mycenaean and Minoans:

Minoan Knossos Throne: 
(Ignore tree color, it's a bug in my flashback installation)

Superb! Wasn't aware that we also have a Minoan Civ. Is that intended as part of Aristeia or as eye candy?

 

EDIT: Stupid me!     Reading helps....the entire thread is about new ideas and this is extending your previous post that I even already read. Apologies for the confusion this has caused.

Minoans and Mycenaeans already had initial artwork created at least 5 years ago in the mod, but the author ( @LordGood )didn't continue development. I took that artwork and continued it, but many buildings were created from scratch.
The Hittites only had banners and icons, so it's something completely new, as is the artwork. Please access my branch and play, I really need tests.

Is the pixelated model intentional? 

It looks rather blocky when zoomed in. 

[Lopess]

Definitely not, I think that was the print definition, I'll change the image.
