    Very, very nice.

    As well as my Polynesians I'm making, I'm thinking about a Sioux civilization as well.

    So far, for my Polynesians, their three major gods are:

    Ta'aroa- Supreme Creator God

    Rangi- Supreme Creator God, Father Sky

    Papa- Supreme Creator Goddess, Mother Earth


    Does that sound right? I don't know, but I think Maui should be in there...

    Have you read my Hawaiian civ plan, Lord Iarune?
    posted 06-26-06 02:14 PM EDT (US)     3 / 18  
    No. You have one?

    EDIT: Just browsed over it now. Do you mind if I use the Mystic Hut for a building? It would be like a market and provide economic techs, but that's not where the caravan is from. In my Polynesians, caravans are from the docks

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_mythology

    I'd prefer a more 'Iberian' centered civilisation plan, since theirs would be more unique than a general 'Spanish' civilisation plan, but it's very very cool nonetheless. It should go into AOM2.

    Uh oh, now I'm at the mythology part...

    EDIT: After reading your Hawaiins, Skystrider, I saw that my Polynesians and your Hawaiins are somewhat similar...but not that similar.

    Anyway, I don't need to use your Mystic Hut, I have a different building.

    I have to take a break. If I'm lucky, the Polynesians will be done by the end of today. Then what do you guys think about me making a Sioux civilization?

    Hiawatha II has had a Sioux civ staked for ages. I think a Sioux civ plan would be cool.

    Well, I don't think he's been here in ages, and I don't think he'll ever come back...

    So can I make a Sioux civ? And does someone wanna do it with me? I already know how they will gain favor and what one of their heroes will be.

    Question to all you people: What should the major god Papa, who is the Supreme Creator Goddess, Mother Earth, have her improvements help?

    Rangi, my first major god, has his improvements help your villagers, but what do you think Papa's should?

    I'm confused...I don't know what Ta'aroa's god power and mythic tech should be...any help?

    Any god power could be for Ta'aroa. Earthquakes and Artemis don't have much in common after all. I do have a few ideas for techs.

    Tumu-nui- The Great Foundation increases buildings resistance to damage from units and God Powers.

    Pa'a Shell- gives units more armor.

    First Beginning- decreases speed of unit training.

    Very nice, but I think there should be some more Iberian human units, like the Devotio and Saunion javelineers. But the mythology is all extremely well researched.

    I'm sorry but there are somethings that aren't Spanish mythology.

    Quote:

    Mythic Techs: Día de los Muertos: Your Brujas and Primers are better against myth units.

    Now call me an idiot (Which I probably am) but I thought that particular festival was celebrated in Mexico and had some relation to the Aztecs.

    Which thus means that isn't part of Spanish mythology.

    Quote:

    Dios. King of the Gods. His improvements help your military.

    Dios = God.

    So God is king of Gods ( ), well, that's not Spanish mythology either. You can call that Judaism, Islam, Catholicism, etc.; but not Spanish mythology.

    Quote:

    -Muchaco: The Spanish villager.

    I've never heard that name before, but perhaps you meant Muchacho.

    But other than those 3 things, yes this is pretty well researched.

    Okay so...

    1) The Día de los Muertos was a mistake. Sorry 'bout that.
    2) I found some stuff stating that the ancient Spanish worshipped a supreme deity which was known simply as "Dios". This is not the same Dios that the Catholic Spanish worship today. It is for all intensive purposes a coincedence they have the same name.
    3) Muchaco was just a typo. The proper spelling is muchacho.

    I still find that ackward, but if you say so.

    For some reason, this unit would be one of my favorite ones (Trample! Trample!).
