To Cute Wolf

As a playable faction instead of emerging to give Egypt a hard time (which it desperately needed in the original RTW) they might be best in a seperate setting.

Well in general I like the idea, but the one problem is if you are submodding anyway why keep most of the map?

I would probably have the Romans emerge, and emerge most likely as an ally of the revolt, and an enemy of the Selucids, and the Ptolemys (sorry for the modern spelling here, but I am a bit tired and everyone here knows what I mean )

I also do agree that the Judeans shouldn't have a Phalanx, it was dying out at this time, even Selucids where making a lot of use of other arms like cavalry, and the Ptolemys forces would not have resembled a Greek force despite the use of Greek officers and nobles.

The zealots however confused me. Are they the generals body gaurd units? Are they part of the Horde? Are they elites? If they aren't the generals body gaurd how many will you be able to field without going into debt?

While I like your idea, it could use some work around the edges, I would be glad to help you with some of the history though, but I am no expert on Jewish history.

Cute-Wolf quoted history. I'm very sorry there was an unjust Selucid King, but that is historically accurate. Between your extremely condescending manner towards her, and your own lack of accuracy I think you have some type of pro-Selucid bias.


This is my answer to did they have zealots in this revolt.

I would say yes, zealotry doesn't neccessarily mean idiocy
