Well I thought it was obvious that I was mountain time.

I think me and chilly both want atlantis to be in the agean

Ughh, well then will you at least enlarge the map, because the Agean is pretty small.

Atlantis doesnt have to fit the measurments given by plato as many historians believe the are 10 times to big.

I wasn't sure if you were mountain or pacific(not sure canadian rockies go to the coast??)

Anyways can you be here at...8 i believe.

Well got to go its getting late here.

-edit- thanks for showing intrest guys for awhile i was basically talking to myself here.

Those are the main issues that need to be discussed.

STORYLINE:

Chilly- I've tried to make a dramtic story

At its height atlantis sent out explorers to teach the world in their ways(Pyramids around the world!!). After many many years the voyagers decendents came back to their homeland only to find it ruins! Who was to blame?? THE FOUL GREEKS! The atlanteans came to see their enemies the athenians have colonized europe/asia

Either one is good with me. Just as long as it's not tiny.

I could do some tricks with that cross if you guys haven't already.

FACTION COLORS-
purple- gold
navy blue-black
navy blue-white
green/blue-black
green/blue-white
Chilly did you already decide??

I like the purple/gold selection, or sky(baby)-blue with white.

Chilly has one but we should get together and make a full one

*feiiw* thank zeus I don't have to do any of that, it's so fun hard.

Well as a Greek myself I can't help but find it a little offensive.

!BP!

I won't be able to be here tommorow. I have a previous engagement, so please inform me on any decisions. I will probably be available late at night.

Oh and BTW do you think we could use the shape and names of this island to make Atlantis?

I like the names for the provinces.

sorry i'm late and havent talked very much, i was sleeping

but the big supprise is that last night my mom sat through her last night of pregnecy and has born my baby brother! i have a brother! *cries*

ok, i dont really like the idea of atlantis appearing in the middle or nowhere, and as long as the story comes in telling how the replaced faction is gone its good. i think the atlantis faction should find atlantis in ruins and rebuild, not somwhere else trying to kill the greeks (BP ur a greek?! ahhh! greeks are my favorite! i study them all the time! this doesnt mean i'm hitting on u or anything as i think this would be gay, or are u a girl too? considering ur a prince, id say ur a male . . . .).

no i havent decided the faction colors as i was sleeping but i still want an original blue-green, it gives it sortof an aquatic feeling . . . . y'know? atlantis is a island and has mermaids and crap like that . . . well maybe not mermaids but they were an aquatic people.

and king of atlantis ur story has some faults, y'd think that if atlantis sent out explorers, they would still recieve news and crap? and where do they get enough people and soldiers to take a province and start an empire? here's my second story try:

atlantis was once great and very advanced. they had already sent many people to the moon and has advanced enough to colonized (sp?) on mars (which is why we get signs of life and water). they build a seperate empire on mars, closely allied but governed by a differnt ruler. now one day mars-atlantis has recived no messages of any sort from earth-atlantis. and decades after, the same thing happens, but they thought it must be a comunication problem of a sort, but after centuries of investigating (a long time but oh well), they decide to send people down to earth and check wats goin on. send a small army too, in case its a invasion, and they find that atalntis is in ruins, and rebuild and retake blah blah blah, and forge an empire and destroying another in the process.

now, i believe, since atlantis is uber advanced, and since its religious and scientific, the units will be well trained and given the best equipment around, that seems a little uber, dont u think? so one way of solving this problem on the campain is to make atlantis start out uber weak. they will have one province, no allies, one army guarding atlantis and the army will be made of levies and iregulars and millitia, they will have very bad trade too . . . and start out with very little funds, they will have very bad first level-so units and uber late units. i think this is fair, considering how uber they are. i also think that since i dont think that cultures can be changed (or at least i dont want to) , that atlantis should be hellinistic (its a greek myth afterall . . ..) , which is why i liked the idea of a island in the agean, that destroies the greek cities.

whew, long post.

oh and btw, i'm making a ton of first stage concept art, and considering a big painting of them . . . . but none of my concept units can be achieved until i have a really good grip on moddeling . . ..
