WhiteTreePaladin Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Jericho was extant during the timeframe, iirc, and is otherwise just notable as a famous ancient cityThat is why it doesn't really have anything to do with our time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pedro Falcão Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 i think it should be Julius only if theres lots of additional military content/reforms in alpha 10. as suggested before, Jericho could be the name of alpha 10 if a proper wall system is implementedI read somewhere this week that Jericho wasn't a fortified city, that the "walls" cited in some old scripts (including the torah, if i'm not mistaken) were rather spiritual walls of each residing person.

gadox13 Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 (edited) The idea of the middle east or western asia is great. They had a rich and rough history. Jerusalem's historical periods (From wikipedia) : In our game period Jerusalem, have persians, greeks(macedonians), and independence period and then romans.Maybe Jerusalem, Judea or Jericho.Edit : The city of Jerusalem have real and powerful walls in different times.

oshron Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 again, here's what i say:Julius: if there's lots of new units and updates to the military systems of the gameJericho: if there's lots of improvements to the buildings, particularly if there's a better wall systemJerusalem: default otherwise because of its importance in the region Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gerbilOFdoom Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Janus <- if truly the god of doors, then let's release gates with alpha 10 and call it Janus? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MishFTW Posted March 22, 2012 Author Share Posted March 22, 2012 @Gerbil... hah, needed that laugh. Can't argue with the reason though As for Jerusalem, its really nice but it is also very well known. But it could be neat to point out the history of the city that not many people know. For example, Jerusalem has been destroyed twice, besieged 23 times, attacked 52 times, and captured and recaptured 44 times. (Wikipedia) Not many people would know that.

iap Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Jusy my thought:I would love to see the next alpha titled "Jerusalem", cause I'm Israely.However, to choose one of these cities (Jerusalem and Jericho) will make much more sence if there would be a bounch of new maps and RMS's from this region (Israel, yay ) and a historical refernce to the history of the place in one of the factions.It would be AMAZING to have a map taking place in the mountains of Jerusalem or in the area of Jericho.

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 If it is called Jerusalem, should it not be in honor of Jeru? After all, Alpha I's name was in honor of Wijitmaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oshron Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 since its looking more and more like functional walls will be implemented in alpha10, i still say that "Jericho" is the best choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
