Wow, great work AtB team . I'm not sure to which mod I'm looking forward more, AtB or EB2 .
I'm not sure, but I think Cyrene was still using the chariots around this time so that could be a nice faction unit.

Hey I was wondering if ancyra in galatia will have a celtic settlement. I already know the Galatians are not to be included but I was curious as to what culture that city will belong to since the galatians are the only celtic region besides tylis and scourcow that is on the map. Sorry I had to ask it has been bugging me for several weeks now because I has of lately been doing extensive celtic research on their migrations, warfare and such!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great mod by the way cannot wait to play and keep up the awsome work

It will be greek because the celtic culture is not included.

What cultures will be in the mod, then?
I would guess: E-greek, W-greek, roman, nomad, eastern and indian.
Does this seem plausible?
By the way, good work, guys! Looking forward to next preview!

So, are those men in bronze cuirasses?
Uh, I thought during this period scale and chain was the armor of choice, or this is a greek influence?

Yes, They are Bronze cuirasses.....Originally Posted by russia almighty
Chain armor was not abundantly used during that period...
Tribes based armies never wore armor
while professional guild based armies wore scale armor
the royal kingly armies who belonged to the warrior caste (Ksatriyas) wore bronze cuirasses....no greek influence
We represent India like no other mod....our map includes the whole of India....with three major Indian factions of the Period

There is actually a way to mod in more than 6 religons (cultures, in your case)
~Maion
There is also a seventh Chinese culture.....Originally Posted by Maion Maroneios
I thought the last cultures was Semitic, for the Saba and the Nabateia?
But if it is indeed Chinese, than it only include the Wusun, right?
I didn't know that?Originally Posted by svramj
Wusun should be steppe nomads?

Indeed, I don't remember anything about a Chinese culture.

So it should be Semitic, Indian,W.Greek, E.Greek, Eastern, Steppe and Roman? I think we already said there won't be Roman culture, so now I'm confused . Does anyone on the team remember the cultures we're including?

Hey guys, I have a small request: could you make my old dream come true, and create chariots with 4 horses for the seleucids and pontus? My PC is too lame to do it myself :(
that won't be historically accurate.....Indian factions will have 2 different 4 horse chariots....Seleucids can recruit them in case the conquer Indian regionsOriginally Posted by Leviathan DarklyCute
Yes it is historically accurate, the Scythed Chariots in EB (which are persian style, not the same as indian) should already have 4 horses, but the EB them did not include because they thought it was complicated. Well it's not.Originally Posted by svramj
Here's the proof: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scythed_chariot
other mods has include it as wellThe scythed chariot was pulled by a team of four horses
and in models:
And if you don't know how, here's the instructions:

So, please?

thanks for the info....its not difficult....we'll do it if possible...i mean, we have permission to use EB units....but donno if we can edit them....if we can....you'll surely see them rolling with 4 horses....

YES! Thank you
I don't know much about the Scythed Chariots, but I just need to point this out...
Using wikipedia as a source for historical questions isn't very popular, since it's very unrealiable on that subject.
If wikipedia says something about this or that, it can be wrong.
I have no knowledge on the chariots matter, and 4 horse chariots where most likely most common for all I know.
Just wanted to warn about using wikipedia as a source. :)

This is where my signature is.
I certainly am no expert on the subject matter of the scythed chariots, but my common sense tells me that a scythed chariot drawn by four horses in a row as on this picture:
is highly improbable, becuse the four horses one beside another are WIDER than than the span on the axle-scythes thus negating their effect. It would make much more sense to have the chariot and its horses rather narrow in order to allow for exploiting any gaps in th enemy line and cut the by-standing soldiers by th scythes. Therefore I am inclined to think that either there were only two horses to chariot or that four horses were arranged in two pairs in a tandem...
Well let's have another example:
you may be able to see that the horses are closer to each other and in a narrower position than the horses of that mod. You can also see that the wheels of the chariot are a bit wider, so the horses are not in the way.
Simply put, that mod didn't made them right, they should be tighter.

Bump. Any news guys?
Id be a bit worried that the Seleucids and the like will get steamrollered by hordes of War Elephants... since the Mauryan empire had thousands of the things
Out of curiosity, how are things going with the map? Syria isn't going to be just Antioch, is it?
I hope you have some news for us. Any news will do.
Thanks!
