Additional Civs you'd like to see?

[Yamato Take]

I'd really like to see Ptolemaic Egyptians.

[Vingauld]

The Etruscans!

[DariusThe1337]

Perhaps Mauryan Indians for the early period, and Guptas for the late period?

[Mythos_Ruler]

Go duchy of Muscovy!

I think that would be a little outside our timeperiod.

I'd really like to see Ptolemaic Egyptians.

Definately a good choice for a future "content addon pack." We've (Paul and I) have batted around ideas for a Diadachi / Macedonia hybrid civ.

The Etruscans!

They'd be a sweet civ. I have yet to see them prominently in any RTS.

Perhaps Mauryan Indians for the early period, and Guptas for the late period?

I'm afraid the scope of our game doesn't really include the Indians, no matter how cool they are. We're including civs that effected Rome in both parts of our game's time periods. Part 1 is 500BC - 1BC and the Indians had little to virtually no contact with Rome at this time. Indians would be a sweet civ for an AOE1 Redux though.

[DariusThe1337]

Well, Indians had alot to do with the Persians and Hellenes. If not indians, steppe nomads could be fun. A scytho-sarmatian faction could do, that splits into either the Saka or the Sarmatians. Saka would have better infantry, and limited elephant use, and Sarmatians could be really good skirmishers and horse archers. I'd even be willing to learn how to model and program just to have these put in-game. Lol.

[Mythos_Ruler]

Actually, it'll be so easy to mod this game you'll be able to add a new civ within a month of the game's release.

[DariusThe1337]

Fantastic. Will I actually be able to add them, or will they just replace another?

[Mythos_Ruler]

With the nature of the game and how we are constructing the game, you should be able to add entire civilizations at-will, or replace existing ones if you wish. I think it'd be better to just ADD another civilisation since then it won't cause multiplayer issues for those who download your mod.

I think maybe someone else could give you a better answer, but I am sure I am correct.

[DariusThe1337]

That sounds awesome.

[Belisarivs]

AOE1 Redux though.

Just curious, but what is it? I liked AoE1 and 2 much indeed. This is some mod, extension or simply something virtual what doesnt exist but would be cool to be more than just an idea?

[Yamato Take]

The AOE1 Redux is just an idea. Here's some ideas me and other people have put together for one.

[Mythos_Ruler]

Yep, very excellent AOE1 remake thread there at AOE3 Heaven. I like most of the ideas presented. Cool thing is, Indians are included, as AOE1 had a broader scope than 0 A.D. does (for better and for worse).

[FirePowa8]

Glad you like the remake. You can thank Lord Iarune for encouraging the Indians to be a civilization.

[history999]

Why not add the phonecians? After all Money makes the world go round! And what about a carthage addon they affected rome? http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=htt...6lr%3D%26sa%3DX

[FirePowa8]

Carthage are already in 0AD, the Phoenecians were a power but not quite to the extent of the 6 other civs, as far as military goes.

Edited December 6, 2006 by FirePowa8

[Argalius]

As far as my knowledge goes, the Phoenicians and Carthagians were pretty much the same. Because the Phoenicians were the Carthagians' ancestors more or less. Right?

[Abadu]

What about the Lydians?They great archers and horsemans and king Croesus was one of the richest kings.

I also think that the germanic barbarians should be included

[Paal_101]

Yep Phoenicians are the ancestors of the Carthaginians. They established Carthage as a colony some time in the 9th century BC.

Lydians would be fun to do Germanics are in for Part II.

[Scutarii]

I'd like to see some germanic tribes, like the teutons, or germanic-cross-celtic tribes like the ambrones or the cimbri, because they played a important role in roman history (after several roman defats against these peoples in the late second century BC and against the king Jugurtha in north Africa, Marius introduces his famous reforms)

[rainer.]

Thracians;

[FirePowa8]

I agree, Rainer. Til then we'll have to settle for the Hellenic peltastai in part 1, but they seem really cool too.

Nice avatar!

[Mythos_Ruler]

The Peltast for the Greeks is Thracian, at least in Part 1.

[Paal_101]

A Thracian side would be a pretty unique addition to historical RTS's. They have enough unique weapons to make them extremely interesting to play

[216 B.C.]

I think that Pontus would be pretty sweet to see.

[Abadu]

Some interesting civs would be:

-Kingdom of Aksum

-Maurya Empire

-Thracians

-Lydians

-Scytians

-Latter babylonians(They fought against early persians)

-Dacians

-Saba(As in europa barbarorum)

-Germanic "barbarians"

-Maccabees

-Han Dynasty

-Thirtieth Dynasty egyptians

Pehraps some of those could appear in latter "x-packs"
