Againt I must ask: what are you talking about, and what exactly are you trying to argue here? Do you need more proof that both terms, civ and faction, are used interchangeably up until this day, not only in the game, but also on these forums? Must I direct you to the many thread topics that begin with "civ:", such as "civ: Germans (Suebians and Goths)"? We never change that , that I'm talking about. Civs are were we start making factions. Simply. Examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 This is simple, when you are new, you don't know many details about the game. When I asked this same question from my own ignorance, (I wasn't born knowing everything). Kindly Mythos_ruler (or was Feneur) answered that it was factions. I guess you must know who he is. Is only a little term that we use. Nothing personal. Im even sure why you are mad with me. My ignorance i guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wowgetoffyourcellphone Posted May 23, 2020 Report Share Posted May 23, 2020 It's true that "civ" or "civilization" (Greeks) is a broader term than faction (Athenians). But we tend to use them interchangeably here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And some point around 2012 we started use faction to split civilizations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinour Posted May 25, 2020 Report Share Posted May 25, 2020 Hi guys, I just arrived and started playing, so my opinion might not matter that much, but regarding Voodoo/Hoodoo, it would be a complete anachronism. Voodoo rituals are a particular syncretism of African religions and Christian faith, and its development is rather recent (certainly not from the time period used IG anyway). I'm not saying an African civilisation would be a bad idea, just wanted to express my concerns about the name some people wanted to use. *flies away* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, the original traditional African religion from Benin, Togo, Nigeria and Ghana would be called Vodun and is quite different from New World Voodoo, although the latter definitely takes inspiration from the former, Voodoo also takes inspiration from Christianity, as stated by Tinour (Welcome to the forum, by the way).

What's missing that needs to be added for the Zapotecs and Xiongu? Hi, I am making terra magna compatible for A25 right now. However, there are a few problems, especially with the gui javascripts. Currently, our solution is to pull out the civs individually and make a separate mod for each. I have restored the Xiongnu, Stan has done some good work on the Chinese and I believe Lion.Kanzen has Zapotecs sorted to some extent. I made a forum thread just to talk about restoring mods: https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/40034-project-migrate-a23-mods-to-a24-and-a25/?tab=comments#comment-428346 Here are the Github links to the mods: Xiongnu: https://github.com/Yekaterina999/xiongnu Han China: https://github.com/0ADMods/han_china Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about trapper-units and eagle-hunters (land-air unit to raid peasants and hunt)? Hide contents 0 A.D. would finally use 3-rd space - air. I like the air strike idea. Will make a mod including such a unit for Gauls. If you can give me some more details that would be better. We don't have an air strike unit yet, and birds/eagles could have been used in battle in one way or another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The nomadic style makes booming very awkward; you must rush at all times and continuously rush, while just scattering buildings all across the map to exploit resources. You must go heavy on cav.

Dear historians @Genava55 @Ultimate Aurelian @Thorfinn the Shallow Minded what do you think about adding this civs? Can you suggest any unit rosters, structure tree and heroes, as well as bonuses? Can these civs be merged into one big civ? Do we have too many Greeks? Perhaps we should look elsewhere: Olmecs, Aksum, Koreans, Japanese, Funan (modern day Cambodia + Thailand + Vietnam)?

PyrrhicVictoryGuy Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 Tbh i mentioned these as a joke really, there is no way to make them different enough from those already in game to justify them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yekaterina Posted June 10, 2021 Report Share Posted June 10, 2021 But what do you think about the ones I suggested though? They have been overlooked. Aksum is especially important because they defeated the Kushites and were one of the major world powers at the time, existing over a span of approximately 1 millenium.

The point would be considering which nations could have distinctive identities; merely because there were cultural similarities from one civilisation to another does not mean that introducing them to the game would be impossible. Personally I would find more pseudo-greek cultures to help round out the map to be reasonable additions. Areas such as Illyria and Thrace come to mind. Pergamum would perhaps be a favourite of mine since it was a prominent regional power by its own right. There are other, more extreme approaches that could be done however... https://wildfiregames.com/forum/topic/27864-april-update/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
