LordGood Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 Perhaps I should separate the house actors, that yellow roof doesn't mix too nice with the Seleucid tile roof. A bit big for 5 pop houses too. Im thinking adding hellenized buildings, maybe just houses get way too visually hectic way too quickly 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted July 22, 2017 Report Share Posted July 22, 2017 looks nice. Maybe they'd blend better if some yellow was taken out of the Egyptian texture? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phalanx Posted July 26, 2017 Report Share Posted July 26, 2017 Possibly, we could make the military buildings more hellenic, but keep the civilian structures Egyptian. Â That could be a nice divide, because the majority of the civilians were still Egyptian, but the military was Greek Styled, if not mostly Greek in manpower 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
av93 Posted July 28, 2017 Report Share Posted July 28, 2017 Well, my opinion would be the new houses as "city level houses" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorfinn the Shallow Minded Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 As one recommendation, add a depiction for temples of Serapis.  Serapis was an important symbol of Ptolemies themselves.  There are a few visual references to how they looked such this coin for an Alexandrian part.  While this doesn't need to be a standard replacement, I think that having it as a variant or even just and map editor prop would be good. .  2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LordGood Posted January 10, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 I have quite a few loose ends to tie up before i get back into development, Ptolemies and vegetation were my go-to's on return. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescio Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Hopefully someone can remove those obelisks from the civic centre and military colony. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nescio Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 They do not belong in Ptolemaic cities. Obelisks are something typical of the Egyptian Middle Kingdom (c. 2000-1200 BC), when they were erected in pairs near the entrance of major temples; there are some later examples, but obelisks never were as common as altars, columns, or statues. In Roman times emperors started shipping numerous centuries-old obelisks to Rome, but that's outside 0 A.D.'s timeframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The obelisks aren't the problem, it's the civic center itself. It looks like a serious misinterpretation of a temple's pylon. In the Ptolemaic Dynasty, obelisks continued to be made, and old ones re-used, both large and small. https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/565085 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philae_obelisk Pliny apparently even describes Ptolemy II erecting an obelisk... So in short, the obelisks are fine. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescio Posted January 24, 2019 Report Share Posted January 24, 2019 Those Ptolemaic obelisks are a lot smaller (the one in the Met is under 2 m; the Philae obelisk is under 4 m); functionally they were similar to other Ptolemaic steles such as the Rosetta stone. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks like a serious misinterpretation of a temple's pylon. I don't think the design of the CC is a problem from that standpoint. It just represents some generic civic building near the center of town. Nothing specific. The only problem really is just the same problem as the whole set. The set itself is so gorgeous that it would be a shame to remove it completely from the game. Perhaps they can be renamed and used in a Jebel Barkal-esque skirmish or random map set in Egypt.
