AuroN2 Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 It would deffinately fit. Seeing as mithridates gave rome a darn load of hell, and not just pontos, but Parthia gave crassus a good arrow through his armor too, hah.I would definately choose (if you implement the faction splitting whateverthethingimagighyiswhatever like greeks to macedonians etc.) Pontus and Parthia as two. Seeing as they are both practical oposites.Pontus: would be the split that implements Phalanxes Combined with light cav, such as horse archers.Parthia, would of course, why not, get the cataphacts and horse archers mix.And darn this laptop is hard to type on.Now that i think about it. thats a good idea, reballances persia for those who want to focus on infantry or cavalry, over archers. imma give Carthage some thought now.

Alpha of the Eagles Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) I think this is what would (possibly) become parts of the expansion for 0 A.D, and I agree, I would love to see this. Edited March 7, 2011 by Alpha of the Eagles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Parthia would get its own faction in Part II. This is almost assured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroN2 Posted March 8, 2011 Author Share Posted March 8, 2011 Yes, but i haven't seen many promising + Factions comming out of persia, so these two would certainly fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha of the Eagles Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 Well, half the point of 0.A.D is to capture civilizations at their prime and pit them against each other, not historical timeline accuracy. This Persia will fight against the Romans as they fought against the Babylonians and Egyptians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroN2 Posted March 15, 2011 Author Share Posted March 15, 2011 Yeah i figured that much, but we should start out choosing that if factions do have civ splits like greece/macedonia or as mythos ruler suggested having them as seperate factions, i personally would play as pontus :3Maybe someone could make a mod for it nonetheless adding ALL the diadochi? Epeiros ftw, my favorite on RTW EB. :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SMST Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Parthia would get its own faction in Part II. This is almost assured.About that. Wouldn't it make more sense to have Sassanids rather than Parthians? Or maybe a mixture of both? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AuroN2 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Actually, it would make more sense with parthia, seeing as its technically (or can be seen as) a successor state of the old persian empire when alex took it over. And it tought Marcus Licinius Crassus how to eat arrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 About that. Wouldn't it make more sense to have Sassanids rather than Parthians? Or maybe a mixture of both?No? To be honest the Parthians and Sassanids wouldn't be much different. It'll be difficult to differentiate the Parthians from the Part I Persians already. The Parthians lasted until AD 224 and would make the perfect foe for the Imperial Romans in Part II. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
