Were the Phoenicians still a different people at the time of the mod ? If so don't they deserve an unit of their own ? How would it look like ?

Re: Phoenicians ?
Well you had the carthaginians who were pheonician settlers.....
Aside from that they shoudl still have been some pheonicians around the near-east...especially in the settlement called Tyde..which was Tyre...the settlement that Alexander assaulted...which was a pheonician city. Under persian control that is.
O.O
;P
Re: Phoenicians ?
carthaginians are Phoenicians descendents :)
carthage is a Phoenican founded colony

Re: Phoenicians ?
One word: Carthage.
"Let us remember that there are multiple theories of Intelligent Design. I and many others around the world are of the strong belief that the universe was created by a Flying Spaghetti Monster. --- Proof of the existence of the FSM, if needed, can be found in the recent uptick of global warming, earthquakes, hurricanes, and other natural disasters. Apparently His Pastaness is to be worshipped in full pirate regalia. The decline in worldwide pirate population over the past 200 years directly corresponds with the increase in global temperature. Here is a graph to illustrate the point."

Re: Phoenicians ?
I know that but would the phoenicians of phenicy have kept enough differences or were they like greeks or carthaginians ? It would be cool to have some "native" phenicians units after all if they deserve it

Re: Phoenicians ?
Carthaginians ARE pheonicians, it dont get any closer than that.
now if you are asking on pheonician regionals at tyde...idk....ask the team lol ;P
Re: Phoenicians ?
Pretty sure they were still around - Hell, last I heard the Assyrians survive to this day - but they'll simply be part of the existing units found in the region.

Re: Phoenicians ?
Pheonicians=sailers and traders, not necessarily good warriors.
Pretty much seen through their continued defeats at the hands of the assyrians...persians....macedonians....later on romans.... >.>
Re: Phoenicians ?
They used to be pretty big and tough back in the day, tho'. Bronze Age until the Assyrians at least, and the Tyreans gave Alex a serious fight.Originally Posted by DaCrAzYmOfO
Just not big enough to survive the transition into true superpower era, as heralded by the Persians, as an independent polity in the Levant.

Re: Phoenicians ?
OK so they were not enough numerous or different to deserve they own unit. Too bad.

Re: Phoenicians ?
lol.....play carthage...you will get all the pheonician units you want
somehow i dont feel you got the point of your own thread lol >.>
Re: Phoenicians ?
The Carthaginians were the main Phoenician city in this time period. As I understand it, any surviving 'free' Phoenician colonies were part of the Carthaginian hegemony at this time.
The Phoenician homelands had been overrun in Alexander the Great's day (by Alexander I think) and were part of the Seleucid lands at the beginning of our time frame.
By and large the Phoenicians weren't soldiers, and when they did fight, they adapted other people's weapons to suit themselves. Carthage is the best example of that. Indeed, the only example I can think of.
I type slower than you all! Hurrah!
