wackyserious Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 My bad, I just noticed that it was just a feature freeze and not a commit freeze, let me just organize the files and commit this for the Seleucid Horse Archer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yekaterina Posted March 15, 2021 Report Share Posted March 15, 2021 For Scythians I think we should make their female citizens archers, but slightly weaker than infantry archers. This is to balance out their dependence on hunting and lack of defensive structures. I got the idea from Xiongnu of terra magna. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted March 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2021 I've pushed a big update for Scythians. They don't build Civic Centers in the traditional way, they train Packed Civic Centers and send them out to upgrade to stationary Civic Centers elsewhere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Scythians need a more colorful texture to differentiate themselves from the Xiongnu (I believe that the current Xiongnu can continue as it is). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genava55 Posted March 26, 2021 Report Share Posted March 26, 2021 https://phys.org/news/2021-03-ancient-genomes-decline-scythians.html Ancient genomes trace the origin and decline of the Scythians Generally thought of as fierce horse warriors, the Scythians were a multitude of Iron Age cultures who ruled the Eurasian steppe, playing a major role in Eurasian history. A new study published in Science Advances analyzes genome-wide data for 111 ancient individuals spanning the Central Asian Steppe from the first millennia BCE and CE. The results reveal new insights into the genetic events associated with the origins, development and decline of the steppe's legendary Scythians. Because of their interactions and conflicts with the major contemporaneous civilizations of Eurasia, the Scythians enjoy a legendary status in historiography and popular culture. The Scythians had major influences on the cultures of their powerful neighbors, spreading new technologies such as saddles and other improvements for horse riding. The ancient Greek, Roman, Persian and Chinese empires all left a multitude of sources describing, from their perspectives, the customs and practices of the feared horse warriors that came from the interior lands of Eurasia. Still, despite evidence from external sources, little is known about Scythian history. Without a written language or direct sources, the language or languages they spoke, where they came from and the extent to which the various cultures spread across such a huge area were in fact related to one another, remain unclear. The Iron Age transition and the formation of the genetic profile of the Scythians A new study published in Science Advances by an international team of geneticists, anthropologists and archeologists lead by scientists from the Archaeogenetics Department of the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Human History in Jena, Germany, helps illuminate the history of the Scythians with 111 ancient genomes from key Scythian and non-Scythian archaeological cultures of the Central Asian steppe. The results of this study reveal that substantial genetic turnovers were associated with the decline of the long-lasting Bronze Age sedentary groups and the rise of Scythian nomad cultures in the Iron Age. Their findings show that, following the relatively homogenous ancestry of the late Bronze Age herders, at the turn of the first millennium BCE, influxes from the east, west and south into the steppe formed new admixed gene pools. The diverse peoples of the Central Asian Steppe The study goes even further, identifying at least two main sources of origin for the nomadic Iron Age groups. An eastern source likely originated from populations in the Altai Mountains that, during the course of the Iron Age, spread west and south, admixing as they moved. These genetic results match with the timing and locations found in the archeological record and suggest an expansion of populations from the Altai area, where the earliest Scythian burials are found, connecting different renowned cultures such as the Saka, the Tasmola and the Pazyryk found in southern, central and eastern Kazakhstan respectively. Surprisingly, the groups located in the western Ural Mountains descend from a second separate, but simultaneous source. Contrary to the eastern case, this western gene pool, characteristic of the early Sauromatian-Sarmatian cultures, remained largely consistent through the westward spread of the Sarmatian cultures from the Urals into the Pontic-Caspian steppe. The decline of the Scythian cultures associated with new genetic turnovers The study also covers the transition period after the Iron Age, revealing new genetic turnovers and admixture events. These events intensified at the turn of the first millennium CE, concurrent with the decline and then disappearance of the Scythian cultures in the Central Steppe. In this case, the new far eastern Eurasian influx is plausibly associated with the spread of the nomad empires of the Eastern steppe in the first centuries CE, such as the Xiongnu and Xianbei confederations, as well as minor influxes from Iranian sources likely linked to the expansion of Persian-related civilization from the south. Although many of the open questions on the history of the Scythians cannot be solved by ancient DNA alone, this study demonstrates how much the populations of Eurasia have changed and intermixed through time. Future studies should continue to explore the dynamics of these trans-Eurasian connections by covering different periods and geographic regions, revealing the history of connections between west, central and east Eurasia in the remote past and their genetic legacy in present day Eurasian populations. https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/7/13/eabe4414 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lopess Posted March 28, 2021 Report Share Posted March 28, 2021 (edited) A not very serious and quick attempt, I used the British texture, so I understood the sides of the kurgans that could be made of terracotta (??) and the entrance to stone walls, or without entrance. Which would be the best? I believe it must contain enough props to not be too "poor" in detail. I accept criticism and beautiful reference images.
