Roads and Ports: Cost 5 and 2 turns

UNITS:
Warrior: Attack 1. Defense 1 Cost: 2 Gold
First unit you can build. No resources needed. Represented with a W on the map.

Archers: Attack: 2 Defense: 1 Cost: 3 Gold
1 of first u can build. Costs more then Warrior, but has better attack. Represented with an A on the map.

Bronze Soldier: Attack: 2. Defense: 2. Cost: 4 Gold
Requires Bronze and Bronze Working. More powerful then earlier units. Represented with a B on the map.

Chariots: Attack 2. Defense: 1. Cost: 4 Gold
A horse unit with better range then normal ground troops. As strong as archers, but more costly. Requires Horse training and horses. Represented with a C on the map.

Ancient Cavalry: Attack: 2 Defense: 2. Cost: 6 Gold

Galleys: Attack: 1 Defense: 1. 3 gold
Require sailing and timber. Allows the transport of 1 unit across the sea.

COMBAT:
Based off of a 6-sided die. The defender goes first unless it the first turn of an offensive war. The Defense rating is used by defending units and attack by attacking units. That number or lower must be rolled for te unit to be victorious. If on the first roll of the die the defender wins, the attacker can mearly retreat. Chariots and Ancient Cavalry have a 1/4 chance of retreating if they lose, foot soldiers and galleys only a 1/6.

ARMIES:

There is a 1/36 chance (a 2 from rolling the die twice) that a victorious army will create a leader. The leader can create an Army with 3 similar units. This will be represented with a big A followed by a little what ever the unit is. It may not “stack” with other units. Armies get a +1 attack and defense bonus, they can lose 3 rolls in a row before retreating/dyeing. They also have a 1/4 chance of retreating(foot) or 1/3 chance(horse). Armies can attack twice in 1 turn.

NOTES(/FAQ):

NOTE: If more people join then there are countries at the time, I will add more.

NOTE: Oil isn’t petrol, this is oil made from olives ;)

NOTE: Resources were more placed more along strategic locations rather then actual locations. Exception is the Timber of Lebanon.

NOTE: There are not enough resources to go around. If you do not have access to one you must war for it.

NOTE: Units in cities will be under the stats section rather then the map.

NOTE: Units may be “stacked” on the map. A small(so look closely) marker will be used to show stacked units. You may only stack 3 units on top of each other for the maps sake. They must also be similar units.

NOTE: You may load and unload units in the same turn as long as he galley can reach it’s destination. However you may not launch amphibious attack or attack the same turn.

NOTE: There ARE barbarians. They’ll pop up every now and then.
Double NOTE: Barbarians like to live near resources ;)

NOTE: JasontheKing helped me make this(just a little ;) )

NOTE(thanks to emu): You may NOT attack with a newly built unit. It can defend however.

NOTE(Turn 1): You may trade your resources to other nations, this will not hinder your use of the resource. Please note that YOU CAN NOT IMPORT RESOURCES FOR WONDERS, but you CAN build units from it.

Ill take Phoenecia, for now...

Warman, you need to place more resourses, at least two or three of each kind. And are there a ton of advanced barbarians, or is it just me? Shouldn't they be plain warriors since they are barbarians?
 
Mycenae for me.
 
Ill take that country in Turkey unless thats one that Nae, or Jason took
 
No, I think the one in Turkey is the Hittites, so your good. Mycenae is in Greece and Phonecia is in Israel.
 
there are 2 or three each, look harder. and since when were phonecians barbarians? And yes if you look under notes there are barbarians
 
haha. i just reliezed i used H for horses and B for bronze. i'll switch it when i get home from school.
 
Looks like a cool NES!

I call Medes!
 
Nope!
 
If I would choose to join, only judea or israel for me :) or united kingdon :lol: we had that name first!
 
ok im Hitties
 
everone! this is based off of the conquests from the expansion pack. I do not want to go around altering it so much it doesn't even look like it. So no playable arabs, no akkadians, no asyrians, no israel. Just join and be happy :p. correcting map right now

Theres still babylon, sumeria and medes open. come on people just join as them, i need the eastern civs as much as the western.
