I hope you don't mind me suggesting things.
Best of luck.
Thermai I suggested earlier should be either "Tarmita" or "Antiocheia Tarmita". This is how Ancient writers call it. Checked.
Thanks a lot Karavnos, could you get us more south towards India ? :help:Quote:

...Some researchers (OK, maybe only me) beleive that if you stare at these images long enough, without blinking or moving your eyes, you'll be able to explore our map while you're asleep; or maybe your eyes will just get hurt. But either way it's fun for someone...:yes:
Wow, this is great! No pressure of course, but we the fans love to see updates like this! :whip:
Thanks for the maps, can't wait to add the Tarim basin to my Mauryan Empire! :beam:
Ha! I'd like to see you even try marching your armies up their through all the mountains...:juggle2:
Smart work. Looking forward to seeing the first faction previews.
guys we are preparing unit previews now. But plz don't ask 'when will it be out ?'. we will let you know that soon.....
We will?Quote:

It's far too early to put a date on anything at the moment.
Yeah, dates and timeframes aren't cool enough for us... they just make people (like us maybe -- we're people too, I think) all :dizzy2: and :furious3:. Don't you know, we're all about trying to stay happy (:juggle2::whip:)?
I agree. Btw how you been mate?
A question to bump this thread: For the Yuehzi, will you use the old units from 0.7 or will you create new ones for AtB?
I can't say we've given that much thought, seeing as we're focusing on the Indian factions at the moment. I'd guess we'd use a mix of the two, but where can we find a copy of 0.7 now?
At the moment I'm assuming we'll use the existing Yuezhi units, but I haven't seen them yet so I don't know if we'll use all of them. The Yuezhi will defenatly have new units as well.
nice work guys. too bad there's a faction limit. i would include the epirote, aetolian and achaean leagues. i like that you included pergamon. at least the macedonians have a challenge now. i'd also push that bithynia be included. they remained independent before and after alexander's reign until 74 b.c. and were notably larger than the newformed kingdom of pontus, created a year prior to the campagin's start date. also it would be really interesting to see hannibal appear as a general in bithynia somewhere around 190-183 b.c. (if thats possible)
Probably a very belated suggestion, but Roma Surrectum 1.5 includes the Bosphoran Kingdom, maybe it'd be a good idea to get in touch with the RS team?
Some maps on the Baktria, Sogdian regions, Paropamisadae. Hopefully they can lead to some more territories for Baktria and the surrounding regions, aka Marakanda etc...
The maps are in Greek, So I will transliterate the greek text into english and then post the present day name so that both the map creator (if AtB chooses to include some of the regions that I will post) and those who are interested can follow the maps.
Greek name -> Transliterated name -> Present day name
ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΕΙΑ ΕΣΧΑΤΗ-> Alexandreia Eschate -> Khodjent
ΚΥΡΟΠΟΛΙΣ-> Kyropolis -> Uratube (W.W. Tarn's opinion)
ΜΑΡΑΚΑΝΔΑ-> Marakanda -> Samarkand
ΠΟΛΥΤΙΜΗΤΟΣ ΠΟΤΑΜΟΣ -> Polytimetos river ->Zerafshan river
ΝΑΥΤΑΚΑ-> Nautaka ->Shahr-i Sabz
ΞΕΝΙΠΠΑ-> Xenippa ->Erkurgan
ΤΡΥΒΑΚΤΡΑ->Trybaktra ->Either Bukhara or very near it.
ΦΡΑΤΡΑ-> Fratra -> Ferabr
ΠΕΤΡΑ ΣΟΓΔΙΑΝΗΣ-> Petra Sogdianes (Sogdian Rock) ->Akrabad
ΠΕΤΡΑ ΟΞΥΑΡΤΟΥ-> Petra Oxyartou (Oxyartes Rock) ->Kyrk-Kyz
ΠΕΤΡΑ ΧΟΡΙΗΝΗΣ-> Petra Chorienes (Choriene Rock) ->Dushanbe
ΠΑΝΔΟΧΕΙΟΝ-> Pandocheion -> Kampyr Tepe
ΤΑΡΜΙΤΑ-> Tarmita -> Termez
ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΕΙΑ ΒΑΚΤΡΙΑΝΗ-> Alexandreia Baktriana ->Andhkoi
ΒΑΚΤΡΑ-> Baktra -> Balkh (very near Mazar-i-sharif)
ΑΟΡΝΟΣ-> Aornos -> Tashkurgan
ΑΡΑΨΑΚΑ-> Arapsaka -> Qunduz
ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΕΙΑ ΩΞΕΙΑΝΗ -> Alexandreia Oxeiane ->Ai Khanoum

This is a map of what Baktria, along with Marakanda and Alexandreia Eschate were like for the duration of Alexandros campaigns, and the time in which Seleukeides, and then Baktrian kingdom controled the region, aka up until 140 BCE or environs.
I think that this map can help you read your Arrian, especially Alexanders' 3 years in Baktria and Sogdia that much easier.
@AtB team and mappers, I hope you can take this chance to flesh up Baktria as realisticaly as possible. Thanks again for a valiant effort!
@Keravnos - Wow. Thanks alot for the great info
@Visitor13 - We have thought about this, be we never came to a decision. Thanks for bringing it back up.
Congrats guys and keep up the good work! :)
Thanks for the support Emperor.
For those here that would like to be able to play as Galatia and might have missed this - there is a very good mod out there that features our favourite Asia Minor Gauls as a playable faction.

Hey Guys, your superb project is awesome, totally radicall, there aren't much mods with asia, and I enjoy playing non europe mods. I encourage you to do your mega-best, in order to create a master piece.
Also, I want to ask, if I may join into team. (I'm a young mapper, so I need more experience), even if my help isn't needed, may I observe map editing, to gain knowlegde about mapping.
P.S.
Keep up the good work.
Let The Perkunas Help ya all! :3
Hey, i posted a thread about including the Battle of Sogdiana in 36 BC to EB 2.
They said it most likely is not going to be added in, so i was wondering, could it be done with AtB?????
Thank you for your support. I don't think we need more mappers right now, but I'll speak to the rest of the team about that later.Quote:

Is there any chance a mod could delete the link in gamegeek's last post?
