AtB ideas

[Pharnakes]

We are running a little competition to decide on the faction icons for the new factions to be included in AtB.

These factions and their colours are:

Atropatene: Red
Indo-Hellenics: Gold
KotC Bosphorus: Aquamarine
Kyrenaika: White
Mauryans:Tea Green
Pandya: Dark Yellow
Pergamon: Sky Blue
Wusun: Black
Yuehzi: Turqouise, same as EB


Feel free to coment on the colours as well as possible faction icons.



Ohh, and I nearly forgot, the prize.

Well, basicaly, if you win then we pinch your idea :tongue:

No you'll get a mention in the credits and five secon... I mean our enternal gratitude.:laugh4:

Maybe for the Indo-Hellenics you could have an icon similar to this:

Or maybe use one of the coins on the wikipedia site on the Indo-Greek Kingdom, such as Menander I or the obverse side of Hermaeus' coin found on the same page.

I really like that Megas. :2thumbsup:

I couldn't find hardly anything on Atropatene. :no:

But for the Kindom of Pergamon, you could use one of the sides of the coins under the Attalid dynasty (minus Eumenes II), as all the rulers except for the aforementioned one apparently used the same coins:

Maybe the obverse side, with the sitting Athena and her shield.

As for the Bosporan Kingdom, I searched, and searched, and then for the heck of it, searched some more. Since I couldn't find any images of coins from the Spartocid dynasty (which would be appropriate for the timeframe, I think), and could only find images of coins from cities. Faction symbols for the Bosporan kingdom could come from coins from the important city of Pantikapaeum (sp?).

Another option would be to use a symbol of the god Apollo, as his worship was popular in the black sea region, apparently because he was the protector of colonists and their colonized cities. Maybe the "sacrificial tripod" mentioned in wikipedia and the image coinciding with that would do nicely. Maybe not.

I was really bored this morning, and had nothing better to do than use time looking for information. Hope it'll give you guys some ideas.

I have found this for Atropatene, but I'm afraid it's almost the same as Pahlava's.

I love the Atropatene icon.Even if it is similar to Pahlava icon(Im sure it isn't very similar),we will include it in AtB.
