Tomcelmare Posted April 2, 2018 Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 (edited) The Moche culture was an ancient andean civilization, which flourished in northern coast of Peru between 100 AD to 750 AD. It could be interesting to add this civ to the mod, though the timeframe is closer to the second part of the game, than that of "Empires ascendant"...

Tomcelmare Posted April 2, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2018 Here are some pictures I took from an exhibition in Paris (Museum of Quai Branly - Jacques Chirac) about the civilizations that came before the incas, and among them the Mochicas. It could be used as references, especially the priestess. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomcelmare Posted April 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 Yes, it could be quite interesting too, I just wonder how much material we have at our disposal, for references? Anyway, including some andean civ would be a great addition, and also adding the Mayas for precolombian civs to give a little challenge to zapotecs, who must feel really lonely now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan` Posted April 3, 2018 Report Share Posted April 3, 2018 As always the more references the more likely they are to be made. If we could have data like the Kushites on every civ like this it would be really easy. Concept art would help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sundiata Posted April 7, 2018 Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Wow, nice... @Tomcelmare I'd post those imgur images in full, directly to the forum as well... They're pretty cool! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomcelmare Posted April 7, 2018 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2018 Thank you, Sundiata . These illustrations come from a book belonging to a serie called "les Voyages d'Alix",written in french unfortunately, more specifically from the volume about the incas, where they also show the previous civilizations. The drawings of this serie are really good. You should see the reconstructions of Delphi, during the time of classical Greece, or Rome during the first century A.D. The books are available on amazon, but I don't think they're available in english... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
