lilstewie Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) Is it 100% set in stone that Ptoemaic Kingdom will be the next faction?Because there are other interesting factions with interesting units and civ.LikeKingdom of Pontushttp://en.wikipedia....ngdom_of_PontusKingdom of Armeniahttp://en.wikipedia....nia_(antiquity)Seleucids empirehttp://en.wikipedia....Seleucid_EmpireSeleucids in a way connects Mauryans to the rest.

sanderd17 Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 What about Germanics? Not like an empire, but still quite interesting, as they concurred big parts of Europe later on.Also, I remember someone suggesting to make it a "moving population". A population without civil centre, but who could build buildings (that degrade) everywhere on the map. I don't know if it's historically correct, but very interesting game-play wise.

Loki1950 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 That moving population was in relation to all the various nomadic groups such as the Scythians and the rest of the steppe peoples .Enjoy the Choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pureon Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 After the Mauryans are complete the Art Department will move onto the Ptolemies, that's already been revealed and Enrique has a good starting point for them. We might not begin working on the Ptolemies until this summer because there are other areas of 0 A.D. Art that need tightening up, but we'll get there at some point.

Lion.Kanzen Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) In future Expansion Packs, we hope to expand the number of available cultures by incorporating additional civilizations from 1 A.D. to 500 A.D. Possible civilizations include the Germanics, Vandals, Sarmatians, Late Rome, Imperial Rome or Eastern Rome, Saxons, Parthians, Huns, Dacians, and the Goths .http://play0ad.com/game-info/factions/ Edited February 19, 2013 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Falcão Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The civs must have a strong cultural (and military) identity in the 500-1 BC time frame, besides other reasons, to be included in 0 A.D. part 1, Burzum. Part 2 will feature civs in the 1-500 AD time frame, Imperial Romans and Huns are included on the list. The Egyptians were initially not included because the Egyptian golden age was before this frame. But because of fans' requests, as well as from some within the team, the Ptolemies (the closest to Egyptians in our time frame) were included on the list, after the Mauryans' success as a crowd-sourced civ (special thanks here to lilstewie for his searches). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sighvatr Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 The Ptolemics had a dynasty that 300 years. They had an excellent economy and military. It is just the fact that the Ptolemic kingdom is a hybrid of cultures is why I am guessing that some people do not like the Ptolemics to be included in the game?

But they obviously had to hire natives later on.Ptolemaics weren't more specific faction than SeleucidsWhile the Seleucids military is very diverse.But, yeah, Enrqiue and Lordgood have started work already so it's pointless.

In Asia Minor too, the Seleucid dynasty seemed to be losing control — Gauls had fully established themselves in Galatia, semi-independent semi-Hellenized kingdoms had sprung up in Bithynia, Pontus, and Cappadocia, and the city of Pergamum in the west was asserting its independence under the Attalid Dynasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
