Mega Mania Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 First of all, i have to say this is a true RTS that takes history as a serious matter and i love it so much. A few years ago, i found some articles talking about the Parthians and Sassanids from the old 0 AD website. Is it true that they will be introduced into the game (part 2)? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted October 1, 2013 Report Share Posted October 1, 2013 (edited) Yeah find the article in main page.Play0ad.com 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, Eastern Rome (Early Byzantines), Saxons, Parthians, Huns, Dacians, and the Goths.

Mega Mania Posted October 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 It says possible. But it doesn't confirms it, IMHO factions like Vandals and Huns should be minor DLC factions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mythos_Ruler Posted October 2, 2013 Report Share Posted October 2, 2013 Nothing about the next version can be confirmed yet, we need to finish the first version first ^This right here is very true. But if there is to be a part 2, tentatively titled "0 A.D. - Empires Besieged", then the list of factions is generally pretty obvious, at least 5 or 6 of them anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 14, 2013 Report Share Posted October 14, 2013 Chemical warfare in DuraIn January 2009, researchers claimed they had found evidence that the Persian Empire used poisonous gases at Dura against the Roman defenders during the siege. Excavations at Dura have discovered the remains of 19 Roman and 1 Persian soldiers at the base of the city walls.[19] An archaeologist at the University of Leicester suggested that bitumen and sulphur crystals were ignited to create poisonous gas, which was then funnelled through the tunnel with the use of underground chimneys and bellows.[20] The Roman soldiers had been constructing a countermine, and Sassanian forces are believed to have released the gas when their mine was breached by the Roman countermine. The lone Persian soldier discovered among the bodies is believed to be the individual responsible for releasing the gas before the fumes overcame him as well.[21]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dura-Europos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
