Flavius Aetius Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 A few things reading this thread:Neither the Visigoths nor the Ostrogoths came about until the end of the timeframes. Generically, "Goths" works best because they weren't much different.The Wendiske (Vandali) were Suabiske (Suebes), not Eastern Germans like the Goths or Heruli.The Suebes were an overarcing group, as well as their own culture. they included the Alemanni, Marcomanni, Quaddi, and Vandali, and others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshron Posted May 5, 2014 Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 sounds to me like the Suebi would be a good choice for a generic group of Germanics, then, diverging into whatever the most famous/influential of them there were historically 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2014 I was under the wrong impression that Part 2 would be from 500ad-1000ad, hence my suggestion of adding the Tang. the second part the is timeframe from 1Ad to 500AD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oshron Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) again, either Han or three different Chinese: Wu, Shu, and Wei (or maybe even a divergent Chinese faction turning into those three?) there's also plenty of potential for in game references and a campaign based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with hero units including the likes of Lu Bu Edited May 6, 2014 by oshron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flavius Aetius Posted May 6, 2014 Report Share Posted May 6, 2014 (edited) I'd go with Han China. Edited May 6, 2014 by Flavius Aetius 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jethew Goldgrub Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 0 A.D: Empires Besieged - it will be a new chapter of 0 A.D? P. S. Since I have never been a developer and this is none of my business, nevertheless I would like to suggest you to swap the words in the name of the game before the project leaves alpha testing. How about to make "Empire Assedant" main title and 0 A.D. secondary? Just like Anno series: Anno 1404, Anno 1701. It could sound like Empire Assedant: 0 A.D., Empire Assedant: 500 A.D. or Empire Assedant: Ab urbe condita? I think Empire Ascedant is more universal name just like Age of Empires 1/2/3/4 and it will be the best for starting your recognizable franchise line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Well that's how age of empires naming works Age of Empires: Age of Kings Age of Mythology: The titans. Don't see anything wrong with that. In our case it's 0 A.D: Empires Ascendant 0 A.D: Empires Besieged 0 A.D: Retirement Home 4 hours ago, Jethew Goldgrub said: - it will be a new chapter of 0 A.D? It will but currently no artists working on it. I know of a private mod about Parthia but it hasn't been released. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan` Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 Yeah it's the name of the franchise. 0 A.D. is not real time period. There is -1 B.C. and 1 A.D. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smiley Posted August 3, 2022 Report Share Posted August 3, 2022 We are literally on the top of every list, so theres that too. https://trac.wildfiregames.com/wiki/0AD_The_Vision. That is as close one can get to unravel the meaning of the name. Changing it now would be changing the status quo of two decades. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the author of the game thinking about when he applied the medieval term to the game about antiquity? Also, you are missing a space after the first dot at «A.D.». Not only is the name ridiculous, but it is also written illiterately. This is probably why, when I entered «0 A. D.», there were no games for this query.
