With their power base eliminated they were vulnerable to attack from marauders and were eventually destroyed.

The Atlantans were the richest and most powerful civilization of their time. They enjoyed a rich culture and standard of living above all others that would not be seen again for centuries. They even had running water, sewers, and paved streets many centuries before anyone else.

Perhaps you should base the Atlantans on Kydonia? It would seem more realistic and historically accurate. Give them powerful naval units with good speed, attack and defense. Let them produce Cretan Archers and phalanx and nice calvary.

There's a new and just as compeling theory that Atlantis was in Sardinia, based on the findings of a sophistacated civilization there which speard itself into the Eastern Med in the form of the Sea Peoples, much in the way the Atlanteans invaded the East in the Platonic account.

I thought it was on the sister island called thera, that blew up in a volcano. we'll make atlantis on some island in the middle of nowhere in the east mediterrainian anyway.

Slicendice, I was originally going to put it on crete, but it is relly said to be on thera and that would be to small to put a city on. Thus we decided to just put it in the east med. This is a fantasy mod anyways. But, hey your suggestions are very welcome guys.

If it was a fantasy mod, we would have mermaids and floating battle ships.

well semi-fantasy. I mean Atlantis coming back is Fantasy. So we are a historically accurate fantsy mod

Alright update:

We are going to be a mod for imperium total war. Thrace is already hacked so we have to decided on a new faction.

The new faction to be cut will be illyria. The side story is King of Atlantis nuked them in honor of the greeks.(btw, non of this will probably make since to any of you except chilly
