Mythos: how about 'politicians' or age-ups in that particular vein? We could use historical figures that are otherwise not included in the game.

The 'politicians' don't have to be politicians exactly... take note of the minor gods in AOM and advisors in Rise and Fall. It's just something similar to that. Age of the Aegean had some good ideas.

Come on, people, are we letting this die?

Meanwhile, what do you think about my assyrian concepts?

It was the first time I did such a thing, so... yeah, it's a bit lame. :P

Anyway, here are the Scythians! Ethnic names are REALLY sparse as Herodotus only left several Scythian words, and none of them really work for units. So they've been used sparingly. The ethnic words used are Greek/Mespotamian.

Great job, Dieneces, I'm sure you did a lot of research. I didn't know they had no infantry at all... They are similar to the Huns (not strangely).

Where are their buildings, though?...

Wartyx, the Angles and Saxons are not in our timespan, I'm afraid, arriving in Britain during the 5th century AD.

Note: I only did the Unique Techs and Bonuses, the rest was Brocktree (because I got to overhaul the Britons), but my original structure for their units and buildings was quite similar to his anyway.

Like I said, any ethnic names will be really hard for buildings, but I'll give it a shot.

As for the infantry, seems that most military owned horses and bows, that was the centre of their strength. Most heavy infantry would just be dismounted soldiers or mercenaries. Though I might add a swordsman to the loop, as they had some impressive swords (mostly used by cavalry, though).

Well, you'll have to clarify on pages, as everyone had different setting for the amount of posts to a page. For me right now, we're on page 23.
