Asia ton Barbaron disscusion thread

On the whole I agree that it is too westen centered, but, who would we scrap? The galatians are on avery tenous link ATM,but they will probably be in on the basis that they are already all but complete.

Thesame goes for KH shadow, Kyrene and Attalids, easy factions to make quickly, but they are stil very much "provisonaly"

Probs another eaon why the rooster is western biased is that both Malik and I know alot more about the west than the east, hence with inly us to decide, it is prehaps ineviatblethat a certain weterly tilt should come into it. Hopefuly you will be able to correct that!

perhaps...

Kyrene, KH Shadow, and Attalids... what new things do they bring to the mod?
I mean Galatians would be a sort of reminder of the Celtic influence... but Kyrene is a small city-state of sorts, and sort of like a Greek colony... the KH Shadow... well I don't know enough about Greece to answer but I think a second Greek faction would be less important than say the Wusun... and the Attalids... weren't they a very short lived semi-autonomous satrapy?

You will only be taking kyrene from my cold,dead hands.I still dunno what to do about the indo-greeks,but i like paullus idea about emerging indo greeks after baktrians conquer some India.

Personally, I'd also go with paullus' second idea as well.

We are having a debate with admetos.Its very hard to find any info on bosphorus.He thinks we should scrap Bosphorus,and add something else.Please tell us what you think.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Bosporas (

, Malik knows what I mean) in the mod, they'd have such an interesting unit line up, but I haven't been able to find any information on them at the start date. If someone could provide info or link or anything that could help, I would thank you so much as I really would like to see them in the mod, but without info, it just can't happen.

Forgive me if this sounds somewhat harsh, but if you're going to make such an expansive mod up to historical standards you're going to have to put in a whole lot of effort for research, and that isn't going to happen overnight. From what I've seen this hasn't been going for that long; it's going to take a lot longer to find easily accessed sources (if they even exist), let alone specialised academic works.
