Greek (remade)-Shala_T


Description
The Greek civilisation has changed slightly, but is still the "basic" AoM civilisation. The god powers, bonuses and god paths have changed quite a lot. Each minor and major god has their own hero. Another minor feature is that each major god has their own unique scout unit that can be produced from the temple every two minutes (for 20 food).

Both Athena and Zeus need a home city. Athens would be the obvious choice for Athena. Also, Apollo's Home City should be Delphi and not Delos.

I also don't believe Poseidon and Hades should be anything but Major Gods. They are the two brothers with Zeus who divided the universe between them.

I think having the same units as aom would be boring,

I want all new stuff really.

Quoted from Mythos_Ruler:

I also don't believe Poseidon and Hades should be anything but Major Gods. They are the two brothers with Zeus who divided the universe between them.

The three major Greek dieties were Zeus, Apollo and Athena. This combination will more suit the Home City idea. Hades and Poseidon weren't worshipped nearly enough to make them major gods.

I understand what you're saying, but the Mythology of the Greeks, rather the worshipping patterns, is what we should be looking at, hmm? Hades and Poseidon clearly outranked Athena and Apollo, although I do agree that both were important deities.

If Home Cities are to be implemented in the next game, the major god combo of Zeus, Apollo and Athena would definately make more sense than Zeus, Poseidon and Hades. Poseidon and Hades will still be considered very important Greek gods, as they are both Mythic Age gods with powerful GPs/MUs. Also, the Greek mythos tree works out very well with the Zeus, Apollo and Athena combination
