Bouncing a few more ideas around here...
Heroes
Heroes would be national units that each civilization can only build one of. They are very expensive and are obviously also very good. Each civilization would be able to build their hero with the technology that the hero would become available.
The Greeks would be able to build Alexander the Great (hmm... that's their leader, would have to find another hero, but let's use him as an example nonetheless) when Heavy Cavalry becomes available. He would have twice the strength of the normal unit, and a few significant upgrades in, say, flanking.
Now, let's think of Heroes, and their abilities... I'm going to use TAM-CIV3 units as suggestions.
- Babylon: Gilgamesh (Warrior or Archer)
- Gaul - gotta look into Caesar for that, but a swordsman
- Greece - Achilles (Phalanx)
- Rome - Scipio (Legionary)
- Scythia - gotta check my Herodotus (Horse Archer, of course)
- Mongolia (will be changed to Huns) - no clue, but some Light Cavalry
- Egypt - gotta read up on that (War Chariot)
- Iberian Tribes - Spirit_Viriato... any ideas?
- Germanic Tribes - hmm... easy to find one (Berserk)
- Carthage - one of Hannibal's generals (War Elephant)
- Lydia - gotta check my Herodotus (Light Cavalry)
- Phoenicia - Dido? (Phoenician Trireme)
- Getae - anyone from Romania here? National hero?
- Persia - Xerxes (Immortal)
- Medes - no clue
- Britons - what's the name of that woman hero?
- Kolchis - no clue
Civs to come:
- Illyria OR Macedonia - Illyria - no clue; Macedonia - one of Alexander's generals (Heavy Cavalry)
- Nubia - no clue
- Berber - some Light Infantry
- Goths - many possibilities (Huskarl)
Suggestions?
