phm Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 I've been watching Spartacus on Netflix. It would be cool if Thracians were a civilization. I was browsing through the source and I found a civilization called "Thebans." I don't think I've seen them in-game. What are they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Thracians were a civilization that combined Hellenistic influence with Gaul and other European tribes, for the Greek standard they were Barberians.

Right. So surely having Spartacus (either original king or the slave who led the 3rd Servium War or whatever it was called) as a hero, plus some good ranged units (they were good with spear and sling), it would be cool. No? They existed around the same time, same region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 With Thracians can be nice use a heavy influenced kingdom by the Greeks https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Odrysian_kingdom with Greek I mean the style of building with Gaulish textures.

Hmm, I would like to see a unique building set. And yes, the Odrysians would work. Their capital was Seuthopolis and was Greek inspire. Though, I think smaller building can look more rural or barbarian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I mean the concept, they use many rounded building so In this case is otherwise, the age of mythology texture for Greeks in Age 1 can be work fine. check the roof...

Lion.Kanzen Posted September 9, 2016 Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 This can be nice CC for Thracians, an early CC concept by the Hellenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palaiogos Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Maybe the developers would include something like trade posts from AOE 3. From those trade posts you could recruit Thraikian units. If I recall correctly the only things that the Thraikians had were bastarnae, and falxmen. Those could be mercenaries.

Phalanx Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Seleucid roster includes Thracian falxmen already. Great unit (though their animation needs to be teaked a tad....) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcelmare Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 The CC sketch is beautiful! I wish it would be the actual greek CC, with an Athena statue for the athenians. I don't think it would fit the thracians though, as they were considered barbarians by the greeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 Macedon was barberian for Classic greeks, but the points is a civic Center similar to AoM but mostly rural similar to Iberians CC, haven't a complete idea yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
