LordGood Posted August 9, 2017 Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 @Sundiata I know the bronze age Egyptians used primitive machicolated balconies on their fortresses for plunging fire, and I'm operating under the assumption that the Kushites would have borrowed that. Any sources you have confirm this hypothesis o' mine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted August 9, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2017 @LordGoodI guess you're referring to this, Egyptian machicolated balcony... I totally learnt a new word today... I think they were a feature of the Middle Kingdom Egyptian Fortresses in Nubia, which were taken over by the Kushites during the 25th dynasty, and remained under Kushite control until I presume Ptolemy II's Nubian campaign in the 3d century BC, who actually reoccupied some of these fortresses, which had fallen in disuse by then. I can't provide you with conclusive proof of their use, but If you're going heavy on the Egyptian references for the fort, then why not? On this Neo-Assyrian relief, depicting an assault/siege on a fortified Kushite position in Northern Egypt, around 672BCE, something similar to a machicolated balcony can be seen. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted August 10, 2017 Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Looks like Civ VI beat me to it fair warning: I am going to half stuff this exact model into the pyramids. Just the way it is 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sundiata Posted August 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2017 Civ VI ain't got a thing on 0AD... By the way, your first models came out months before anyone knew Civ VI was going to add the "Nubians". They didn't even name them correctly, opting for anachronistic pop-culture terminology instead... Our project here is way more accurate. I mean, look at those temples... Perfection! In the coming weeks I'll attempt to provide some relief-outlines, which lion can use to create unique textures, so the temple and pyramid chapel will be identical in form, but using different reliefs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May I suggest a smaller one to upgrade from Village to town. And then this one you have in the image would be to upgrade from town to City. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
