@niektb Ok, I see, but most casual gamers don't use mods so much. And the mods could/should get a whole lot wilder than just adding totally relevant civs that would really be perfect in the vanilla game. In terms of mods, I'm thinking of different time-periods, different gameplay, different aesthetics, different possibilities altogether, like Delenda Est, Ponies Ascendant, Millenium A.D. and Hyrule are currently demonstrating.

Maybe this belongs in a new thread for building props?

It can actually be a nice little incubation chamber for full fledged civs. If only we worked like this the whole time we wouldn't be half-releasing civs between alphas. My only issue with that is that the hype is finished before the civ is lol. Seleucids took years to finish

@LordGood, good question. In temple 300's case, it does indeed seem like a bit of a stretch... In temple 100's case though, in the center of the complex, the entire structure was surrounded by colomns that were probably spanned.

You could combine features of both temples, or choose one. I'll leave that to you.

@Sundiata: oh sure! I merely to try to explain the reasoning of others (which you probably noticed by the way I phrased my words ;)) btw, I think this civ probably attracts a lot of people to the mod scene. It's coming along really well!

@LordGood: the situation is a tad different though. The other civs really depended on mostly one person. This is more like a team

I think this is a really nice idea.

I'm just nitpicking here, but maybe a teeny weeny Temenos wall (in sections?), reaching around all the way to the ramp, with date-palms planted in-between the walls and the temple, to represent the gardens/holding pens.

I know I'm asking a lot, please forgive me :rolleyes:  This way it would be more like Musawwarat, instead of one temple from Musawwarat.
