Spot the difference.

[Pharnakes]

Very nice work, I'l send the hitman imdeiately (I haven't even looked at the maps yet but I can guess what the difference is)

[Roman_Man#3]

clearly, you've added the galatians in place of Cyrene

[Hound of Ulster]

What's the release date you guys are shooting for in terms of at least a beta?

[Admetos]

Why Pharnakes do you jump to conclusions without even looking at the map? But yes, I guess it was obvious what I'd done without even looking.

Still, I WILL get my Galatians eventually.

EDIT: We can't even speculate a release date at the moment, we haven't even started any modding yet. Of course, if we got some help it would be able to be released alot quicker...

We got a free slot remember?No need to scrap Cyrene.Oh,and Mauryan border should be a little bit higher.

[Malik of Sindh]

Tamils changed to pandya.if anyone is wondering its just a name change.

[The Persian Cataphract]

Atropatene needs something of an adjustment in size; Please refer to this map:

Yes,some things need to be fixed but admetos is not online now.

Updated first post "The team currentily needs" section.We are looking for a historian on India.Any historians on succesors are welcome too.

[KuKulzA]

I've been looking through the Kautilya's Arthashastra (1915 Shamasastry translation)...
it's like an ancient Indian text similar to Art of War

as a researcher... I should try to make construction-trees and soldier-types based off the historical evidence? Cause unless asked not to, I figure that's what I'm gonna do.

I think I've got some good ideas down and I'll post them up soon

You've axed the Getai then?

[Pharnakes]

Yeah, barbarians are right out. Dunno why we call it Asia ton Barbaron, really.

[KuKulzA]

I don't get it either... let's rename it...

[Admetos]

I like the name, I feel it keeps a link with EB.

[Pharnakes]

TBH, so do I, I wasn't really serious about renaming it, but if you have any suggestions, KuKulzA...

[keravnos]

Oh, you are VERY right. For the mods' timeline, Greeks were considered barbarians for both the old Achaimenid aristocracy in places where it remained (Atropatene, Hayasdan, Pontos) as well as for the Indians, when the Maurya empire collapsed.

In some puranic text Yavanas, in some texts they are synonym with "mlecchas"=barbarians, and the word can be used for murder, abortion, pillage etc.
(Not to mention the Saka, Yuehzi et al.)

Don't you worry about changing AtB's name. Who you considered Civilised and Barbarians aren't what you thought. It is all in the eye of the beholder, who one writes about. For example the texts about the Yavanas were written mostly by Hindu Brahmin, who were dead against them from the time of Alexander the Great, till the time of Chadragupta II of the Guptas who is said to have "cleared off" all "outider" nations in India.

Some truths remain, aka, a people responsible for such architectural, sociological, and politeiological marvels, as ancient greeks, cannot be Barbarians. I do believe that. Still, for an Indian whose life was destroyed by rampaging Baktrian horsemen, or temple of worship or family, can't be very sympathetic now, can he?

[CaesarAugustus]

Yeah, barbarians are right out. Dunno why we call it Asia ton Barbaron, really.

Let's not forget EB's motto, Quisque est barbarus alio.

Are you guys still going to post previews and new infos on these threads, or should I look to your new forums for all future developments?

[Pharnakes]

We will try to keep this updated, but look in the forums if you want detailed info on how we are proceding.

[TWFanatic]

I see you've changed the forums up a bit. I like the new look. Maybe Admetos could create a banner sometime in the future.

Didn't the Mauryan Empire not extend to the South or Sri Lanka while extending into Pakistan and Afghanistan? I dunno...wut's the timeline?

[Hax]

The game starts in 260 BC. I'm not really sure concerning the extent and power of the Mauryan Empire. You'd have better luck asking svramj or Athkara, they are specialists on Maurya.

[svramj]

Mauryans did not extend their empire to the south or srilanka...In the south there were the Pandyan's who were a long time great allies of the Mauryans so it was left unconquered

Yeh that's what I meant.

My "didn't not..." must've sounded like a double negative
