Paal_101 Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 (edited) On a purely hypothetical level, what other civilizations and peoples would you like to see in 0 AD if you had to chance to mod them in or WFG put out an expansion pack?For myself, I'd like to put in the:IllyriansThraciansScythiansDiadochi, most likely the SeleucidsAnyone else?

Paal_101 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 In for Part II Assuming you mean Teutons as Germanics in general, like the Suebi, Cherusci, Marcomanni, and Quadi and not just the Teutons who migrated with the Cimbri? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyThumbs Posted April 27, 2006 Share Posted April 27, 2006 Basicaly any Barbian civ, probably Germanic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paal_101 Posted April 27, 2006 Author Share Posted April 27, 2006 Sweet Egyptians as in late-Pharonic or Ptolemaic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirePowa8 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Definitely Scythians and Thracians. Egypt would be rather cool, too. Other than that, I think the game is already covering the best choices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to underestimate WFG or something like this, but to make such great numbers of different tribes would only cause additional delay. BTW, I don't think that their equipment and fighting style differed so much to be worth making them as unique civs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted April 28, 2006 Author Share Posted April 28, 2006 (edited) Indeed Vit, there is very little difference! At a purely technicolor dream level I would like to do the Germanics as a general civ with two branches: one for the earlier Germanics of the 1st century AD (Teutoburg Wald era - Suebi/Cherusci/Chatti) and the second for the famous Germanics of the 2nd century AD (the Marconmani Wars era - Marcomanni and Quadi). The main difference being that the Marcomanni and their allies had much better equipment and weapons than the Suebi. Obviously the Suebi would train units faster but on the flip side they would also die quicker. The tradeoff is there. That being said the Suebi branch would probably have one of the highest natural hitpoints for any unit, so assuming one could tech them up a ways it would be impressive.

Ykkrosh Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 How about a race of cyborgs? I bet they could teach those Romans a thing or two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrolink Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Dude, that's a genius idea! Except the cyborgs would have unfair advantages like...flying, perfect accuracy, massive weapon range, kill Sarah Conner, and the whole cyborg thing in general.

Aztec_Brave Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 In an ideal world I would like an expansion that pushes the timescal back even further to include even more ancient civs, like the Hittites, Babylonians, Egyptians etc. For some reason they are chronically under-represented in games.

Paal_101 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yes I have a had dream of making a Bronze Age addon to 0 AD. Get Mycenaens in addition to those you mentioned Aztec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirePowa8 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 It would also be good to have some Asian civs - not just Middle Eastern, I'm talking one of the earlier Chinese dynasties, maybe Zhou or Qin, and the Yayoi period of the Yamatos. I agree that the Mycenaeans would be a lot of fun... same with the Minoans and Etruscans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dedalus Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Since the game timeframe runs to 500 AD are there any plans for Romano-British? Any Arthurian-like commanders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 It's been idly mentioned a couple times...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radagast Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Perhaps Islamic Arabs? They were around that timeframe I belive. They would have the best ironworkers, so that means very high attack! However, most didn't wear very much armor...I completely agree with the AOE thing. there has been no good game that does those ancient civs any credit since then. Even AOE has been lacking in diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mythos_Ruler Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Islam didnt come into play well after the fall of Rome, which is outside the scope of our game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted May 11, 2006 Author Share Posted May 11, 2006 However if we were to do a highly unlikely Dark Age addon, Islamic Arabs and Turks would be major opponents of Rome's protege, the Byzantine Empire. Although frankly after Part II we will all be looking for something new to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FirePowa8 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I think you should still keep in the history theme, even if you don't make another RTS. A history based RPG or platform game would be cool... wink wink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
