Jeru Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Grammar isn't the only problem. The text also needs to be more serious, informative and scholarly in tone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinrich Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I don't wrote that essay that serious because most peopes aren't interested in Africa anyway, i tried to do it flavorful. I can write serious if it's demanded. Btw. what do you mean with "more informative"? Did i forget something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 "Informative" is like "serious", it means that the piece is meant to inform the readers, not to entertain them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich Posted September 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 I could also give you information about Kush. It fits in part 1 and part 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeru Posted September 25, 2013 Report Share Posted September 25, 2013 Heinrich, I really suggest that you find some other way to contribute, like in publicity in the German language, making concept art or something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just say me a name and i will send him my works.I could give you enough information for creating new, whole factions, but i have to know now : Is my aid needed or not?

We know that Aksum fits only for part 2, but i also have Kush for part 1. If there is a chance that it will be added in part 1 i will also write an essay about it. Sooo, is there a chance that Kush will be added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heinrich Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 What is the reason? I hope you don't say that Kush was unimportant, it lasted over 1000 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 What is the reason? I hope you don't say that Kush was unimportant, it lasted over 1000 years.The in game empires at the moment had relations towards eachother much more heavily involved than just being a trade empire. Please correct me if I am wrong, but Aksum seems to be relatively isolated in comparison to the mediterranean, european, and middle eastern theaters. The Aksum empire could be modded in, of course.

Lion.Kanzen Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Common guys, we can add some Cultural packs, like these guy from Creative Assamble, but without pre order or money. But we can in foundraiser include a list of 5 special civs for donators. I all can play with them but donators choose what historic faction can be.

Heinrich Posted September 26, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 The in game empires at the moment had relations towards eachother much more heavily involved than just being a trade empire. Please correct me if I am wrong, but Aksum seems to be relatively isolated in comparison to the mediterranean, european, and middle eastern theaters. The Aksum empire could be modded in, of course.Well, beside the fact that Aksum is one of the wealtihiest and most powerful states of late antiquity it was, after Aksums conversion, one of the most reliable allies of Rome. Together they fought against Arabians and Persians (Did you know that the Kaaba is probably build by an Aksumite?).Like i wrote in my essay, a persian poet called Aksum the fourth-mightiest realm on the planet, and you can trust me he rather known Aksum than any german tribe. I also read somewhere that mordern Armenian has it roots in Ge'ez, the old ethiopian language, although i am not sure in that.Btw., has the Maury-Empire a significant role on the Mediterranien Sea - civilizations?In my eyes it would be just pure ignorance if Aksum wouldn't be included in part 2.Now to Kush and why it coul be included, if the insufficient role on European history is the same problem. I have to say here: Yes, Kush is not such an important player like Aksum. It wasn't a trading-empire with wieldfielding connections, it has'nt contact with half of the world and they never tried to land in Asia. But in my eyes Kush is espicially one thing: It's something special. It's a remain of the ancient egyptian civilization, and with 0 a.d. you would be able to see the evolution, the "Africanization" of Meroe (like it happened in late Hellenism) with the aid of the three phases. Btw. i am pretty sure i am not the only one who want to see pyramids in 0 a.d.I also can tell you, that the Kushites had strong connections with Egyptians, Persians, Macedons ( A legend says a Candace, a title for female queens, defeated even Alexander the Great), Ptolemaics and Romans. Fun fact is that everyone failed in conquering Nubia in 0 a.d.-period. Kush was also a very important gold-provider, Nubia was called the "Gold-Land".Well, atleast i even could understand if Kush will be implemented later or could be in a mod. I think i will still work on Kush and release an essay. If the team dont have enough time to implement them maybe someone else is interested to visualise this realm.Cheers(Btw.: the team should think about a lvl-system for heroes like it is in Warcraft 3. It's a pretty good one) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordGood Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 (edited) Alexander the Great had pushed his empire to the Indus valley, those cultures of Macedon and India would have been in direct contact in a fight for homeland, rather than a push of mercenariesI haven't read too far into Indian relations with Persia, but the juxtaposition could have sparked a few skirmishesWhat I mean is that the Aksum homeland has not had it's borders encroached on by the other civilizations in the game, as far as I know.A game revolving around ancient warfare would require militarily reactive situations between civilizations, rather than just hinging on the wealth and power of a particular empirewhoop, read your last post again. Nevermind that lol Edited September 26, 2013 by LordGood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 Kush would definitely be a cool addition to the game, perhaps as a post-release FreeLC, but don't get your hopes up too high. The list of possible FreeLC civs is quite long and Gold release is still probably 2 years away (1 more year of alphas, 1 year of betas).It would still be cool to see some references and dream about what could be a fun civ.

Lion.Kanzen Posted September 26, 2013 Report Share Posted September 26, 2013 FreeLc nice concept, FLC, Michael you think if is possibly reward the fanatic with a Historic civilization in Foundraiser, even a pack for 30-120 dollars but I don't know how many civilizations and in timeframe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
