Gyrion Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 (edited) I know the odds of anyone taking this seriously enough to even consider adding them into the game is almost none I just thought maybe haha. I just think as the game did originally have only one Greek and one Celtic faction it wouldn't hurt to add another different Greek faction and a mashup of Celtic, Greek and Persian influences in the Thracians. Even if the Thessaly faction idea is pointless I think the Thracian/Odrysian Kingdom is unique enough to warrant a place in 0 A.D. But please bare in mind I am no historical expert and there could be things I have listed that might not be accurate. Thessaly Icon could be a Horse's Head Strengths - Good Melee Cavalry i.e Lancers and Swordsmen - An ability that adds faster production of Cavalry Units - Cavalry Have a Slightly Better Line of Sight Weaknesses - Hoplites and Melee Infantry are weaker than traditional Athenian or Sparta troops - Can't think of more but obviously the faction would be balanced Additional Troops Thessalian Riders (Sword Cav) Thessalian Lancers (Slight buff to the normal Thessalian Lancers) Thessalian Hoplite (Like normal Hoplites only a little weaker) Heroes I can't say I know any Thessalian Heroes Thrace/Odrysian Kingdom (Fusion of Celtic/Greek and Persian Influences) Icon Rampant Thracian Pegasus Strengths - Strong Swordsmen/ Flaxmen - Access to both Greek and Persian Mercenaries Weaknesses - As like the Romans the Thracians have no archers - Rely solely on Slingers and Peltasts for their ranged - No champion cavalry maybe Additonal Troops Thracian Falxmen Thracian Kingsguard (Champion Swordsmen Unit) Thracian Swordsmen (Citizen Soldier Version Slightly Stronger) Heroes Teres I Sitacles Seuthes III Edited June 2, 2017 by Gyrion 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted June 2, 2017 Report Share Posted June 2, 2017 We suggested that for Delenda Est (Mod) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrion Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 I mean I can completely understand not adding Thessaly they are similar to the Athenians and Spartans despite having good cavalry but the Thracians are so unique they warrant an add Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrion Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 darn that sucks but ofc I understand would be annoying adding another 2 factions. Maybe one day Thessaly or Thrace will make an appearance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Thracians are definitely something I'm interested in for Delenda Est. Kushites, Thracians, and Scythians. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrion Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Pre Macedon they had the Thessalian League if I am not mistaken, forgive me if I am wrong I don't know loads about Greek history 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 (edited) To be fully faction needs some requirements champions (2) heroes(2 or 3) a Wonder. By the way. Edited June 3, 2017 by Lion.Kanzen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thessaly was briefly one of the strongest polities in Greece under their leadership. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyrion Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Idk about Thessaly but for Thrace also the Faction Icon would be more a Thracian Pegasus Champion - Thracian Kingsguard ( Similar to the Blackcoats possibly with more armour etc.) - Thracian Champion Peltasts ( Basically a Thracian style Champion Peltast) Heroes - Teres I - Sitacles - Seuthes III Wonder - Possibly Like a Temple or Statue of Thrax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gyrion Posted June 3, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 Delenda Est looks really cool, and your guys textures are insanely good. I would say maybe use the Thracian Pegasus as their icon just think having an animal icon always looks fantastic and the Axe is not originally Thracian whereas the Thracian Pegasus is a Thracian design Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted June 3, 2017 Report Share Posted June 3, 2017 But Pegasus isn't more related to Thessalians? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
