Did you just make that???? It looks amazing! And it finally puts to good use those emblems! I love...

The top one is a mockup. Bottom one is a long-deprecated patch that @s0600204 created 2 years ago now? It uses things like this in the civ.json files to allow factions to be sorted by various cultures/regions:
 

	"Name":"Egyptians (Ptolemies)",
	"Code":"ptol",
	"Culture":[ "egyptian", "successor" ],
	"Region":[ "mediterranean", "africa" ],

We really need this:

 

Your mockup has my mouth watering... Any chance you could make this a reality. It would really jazz up the civilization selection. Part of a larger interface update for the next release, it's necessary...

While the mockup is sexier, the patch is actually more functional, what with the regions and cultures functionality. Would be nice to combine the look of the mockup with the functionality of the patch.

Yes! Perhaps civ's should be tied to the geographic regions where their capital region is located, so you'd have:

• Europa: Rome, Athens, Sparta, Macedon, Iberia, Gaul, Britannia  
• Asia Minor: Persia, Seleucid Empire
• Asia Mayor: Mauryan Empire, Han Chinese, Xiognu (wink, wink)
• Africa: Carthage, Ptolemaic Egypt, Kush (wink, wink)

Exactly, and you can be as granular as you want. You can have Europe as a region and then also Italy, Aegean, Mediterranean, Gallia, etc. as more regions. And any given civ can be in any number of regions, especially the big empires. It's all very possible and already in DE's civ.jsons in case @s0600204's patch is ever committed.

Asia minor :...And Kingdom of Pontus (Wink wink wink)

The Aoe DE room: less room for chat, and more info about gameplay settings: we should know at first glance if there's no rush treaty, if cheats are enabled..
