Lion.Kanzen Posted December 2, 2012 Report Share Posted December 2, 2012 Bu it's not only the time period, but also de geographical approach. mayans are in other timeline but thier Military Tech are like too some Barbarians Tribes in Europe and Asia.they dont use Metals and Horses but uses Obsidian, and Cotton Armor, uses Bows, Slings, Spears. etc.they ae very like to Greek because their City States, Copan in my Country(Honduras), Tikal and others i dont remember XD.

oshron Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 the focus of the Mayans would, in any case, be focused primarily on their infantry. since unit classes are what they are, they could very well have every infantry class and one "cavalry" class; for another project of mine based on 0ad's designed, i decided to write up that the Aztecs get every infantry class and one "cavalry" class which is functionally the same as cavalry even though it's ACTUALLY an infantryman (it was the Eagle Warrior, in the same spirit as the Eagle Warriors in AOK: The Conquerors)the Iberians also lack warships, yet they are planned for inclusion no matter what; the reasoning was that they didn't necessarily NEED warships as long as they had SOMETHING to get them across water (which would be their trading cogs) and that, on naval maps, they could instead rely on allies to do the naval fighting while they defend themselves and their allies and engage in land battles alongside themand in point of fact, the Mayans apparently did engage in siege warfare. a quick google search brought this up, which mentions detailed depictions of siege warfare in Mayan culture: http://www.authenticmaya.com/maya_warfare.htm though i'm honestly not sure if they really had siege weapons. in the same way that the Iberians may well need to depend on allies for a navy, the Mayans may have to for siege warfare. though there's nothing to say that, in typical RTS style, that they can't just start swinging their spears at the enemy gate even if that's discouraged and inefficient in actual gameplay. without having to devote alot of their resources to expensive siege weapons, they could easily spend that to get more (and cheaper) infantry to support themselves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olmecs, Zapotecs(AOE 3 Merceanries) etcs.They don't Build Walls like Stone Walls but i don't know if with wood. the better people can talk about Mayans are Guatemalan and Belice. my People from my Country in Wester Honduras are decent from Mayan Collapse they called their self Lencas. That people Fight Agains Spanish Conqueror and one Warlord (il Empira in Old Spanish) Lempira was the Hero, that battles, but he defeated by Spanish, and his Head cutt off.

NoMolester Posted December 3, 2012 Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Mayans painted their buildings in many beautiful colors (inside and outside), many people think that their buildings were all rocky and the interior of their houses looked like a cave but it is not true, the buildings were covered by cement, they invented it, and painted in many colors.Mayans did build walls, but in a different way and fashion from the standard medieval and iron age walls. They were small and multileveled.Some mayan walls:http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Bir3bs__J2E/S02ao0M27bI/AAAAAAAAztc/bnVgQumq1PE/s400/179569.jpghttp://www.elporvenir.com.mx/upload/foto/24/3/1/E12011013.JPGThe mayan gate wall of Tulum:http://edu.coruna.es/var/plain/storage/images/participa/fotogaleria/muralla_maya_en_tulum_mexico/71394-2-esl-MX/muralla_maya_en_tulum_mexico_myimagelarge.jpghttp://www.turismoenfotos.com/archivos/temp/5235/400_1279921324_arcoentrada-ex-balam-yucatan.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo38 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 I've seen many interesting historical illustrations in this gallery :http://www.wrh-illustration.com/ImageArchive/Image_Archive/Image_Archive.htmlThat's the archive gallery of Wood Ronsaville Harlin.Inc, an illustration company. Very high quality of work, with pictures of the ancient world in America, Asia, Africa, etc. A lot of PreColombian to enjoy ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
