Granted, It's plausible, a lot of ancient mythologies have very similar characters. I read that Zeus and Jupiter were technically separate deities but they were close enough that the Romans decided they were probably the same guy.

In writing circles, we've had a thing where two authors come up with the same idea at the same time because they had been exposed to similar cultures. It could be either though. I'll have to do some more research. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor can we say that one god's culture copied another; that does not exist in the ancient world. I am also a little into theology, mythology and things that have to do with the metaphysical world.

alre Posted March 23, 2024 Report Share Posted March 23, 2024 this whole proto-indo-european mythology thing is pretty interesting. I wander how do they know that before the many myths similar to each other, there was a "common ancestor", instead of just maybe assume a myth spread from people to people in more recent times. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grautvornix Posted November 2, 2024 Report Share Posted November 2, 2024 Right Probably the wrong threat (apologies!) but I just remembered Settlers V where there was the ability to put pit traps and booby traps (not very historical though), able to create limited damage (killing one enemy soldier). If I recollect some reports on the strategy used by Julius Caesar in his siege of Alesia, Romans were using traps as well to protect their backs from approaching enemies. This would require a new game mechanism but might be a cool feature to add at a later stage. What do you think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
