Which improvement? What units? I´ll do it, just tell me

nevermind i got it

 

[Yom]

Here's a list of the changes if you don't want to re-download the file:

Meroe: add courthouse and walls (you had those already) and a Forbidden Palace as Napata became the new capital by 250 B.C.

Aden: add harbor

Napata: add Courthouse and walls

edit... and a marketplace to Napata if there wasn't already one

Edit 2...ok

 

[Yoda Power]

Ok i will soon start to make the next version ready.

BTW do you think I should add more units?

 

[Yom]

Yeah, that would be cool, it gets boring with the same old units

Ok i will do that, and more techs in the anciant age.

 

[Yom]

Here's a list of Major changes I made:

New city for Sahel: Nok, at the coordinates specified by Mobilize
New city for Carthagenians: Saguntum, again specified by Mobilize

Red Sea People's Changes:
Renamed the Civ: Nubians. Took away 2 cities in Yemen, added Napata, which is the new capital (and historically accurate) and added Kartoum, which connects the civ. to Axumites for trade.

Axumite Kingdom Changes:
New civ added of course, UU is Axumite War Galley, though I should really think up of another name, Yoda, you might want to give them a land UU, as they were well known for their military. Axumite Kingdom cities include some cities I mentioned for the mainland, and 2 cities in Yemen, though at different locations and with different names from the Nubian ones

Edit...Minor changes: Also, I changed the names according to hr_oskar, as well as making 2 Forbidden Palaces, 1 in Nubia (meroe, to show that it used to be the capital) and 1 in the Axumite Kingdom (Marib, to show the importance of Yemen as an integral part of the kingdom and sharing many cultural characteristics).

 

[Yoda Power]

I could give the Axumites the Javaleneer, that was made specific for Ethiopia.

 

[Yom]

I knew they were well-known for one land unit, though I couldn't remember what it was, maybe that was it, anyway, if you are gonna make new wonders, you might make one called "the obelisks" and rename the unit "Toraignya" or something to that effect as that is how you say Javeleneer in Amharic, Ethiopia's official language ( though the Axumites spoke Ge'ez, its predecessor and Hebrew's predecessor, I think).

Edit... Actually, if you think javelin thrower or something to that effect is better, it's fine with me, it's totally your decision

Wow you have much knowledge about that area, I will call them that.

 

[Yom]

Hehe, I'm flattered. It's not that I know so much about the era as the fact that I am Ethiopian.

Edit... Maybe call the Axumite War Galley "Mamlek" (warship in Amharic), it sounds a lot better to me. "Axumite War Galley" is a bit long.

Oh that really changes everything. Do you live in Ethiopia?

Yeah i think it does.

 

[Yom]

No, I was born in the U.S., but I understand and speak Amharic rather well. It was my first language, but I forgot a lot when I started going to Kindergarten.

 

[Yom]

If you add the "Toraignya," then my advice is to make it an offensive unit. Btw, I made the Axumites Aggressive level 4.

Here's a suggestion to the unit, though you may want to edit it a bit, I don't know how strong the other UU's are, so I don't want to make this one too strong.

Icon: 9

Unit abilities: Foot Unit

Required Resources: Iron

Pre-requisite: Bronze Working

Attack:3 Defense:1 Movement:2

I gave it 2 movement, because all the other civs seem to have units with 2 movement, 3 attack and 1 defense (i.e. Egypt has War Chariot, Nubia's horseman is like that, and there are others I believe)

One last edit... I just realized Nubia is allowed to build EVERY unit since I created a new civilization for it, you should fix that.

Maybe that wasn't the last....
Immortal Icon (54) isn't in use, maybe you might want to use that.

Wow...I'm really posting a lot today:
Mounted warrior icon/unit is also not available to anyone (except for nubia, of course) as well as one or two more units that I can't remember. Also, you could use the English UU, the Man-O-War (icon: 63) for the Mamlek to prevent confusion with Galleys.

Last one...I promise:
I noticed all capitals had walls and courthouses, you might want to add that to Axum, and perhaps Marib, as none of the cities in the Axumite empire have either and only Marib has an aqueduct as it had a dam in acient times. Axum should have an aqueduct as well (there's an ancient swimming pool there, and they're the ones who built and rebuilt the Marib dam, so they obviously had the technology.). Finally, there was another dam built by the axumites on the mainland, though I don't know what city it was in...I think maybe Metera. And finally, can someone help me in finding the ruler of the Axumite Kingdom in 250? So far I only found Queen Candace in 332 B.C., which I still don't trust.

Sorry for breaking my promise, hehe:

Kohaito has a dam, so it should have an Aqueduct and be size 2 if it isn't already that large.

Meroe should still be the capital, I made a mistake. The capital was Napata BEFORE Meroe. That is, until 300 B.C., so Napata should have the forbidden palace and meroe should have the regular palace.

 

[LouLong]

Don't want to sound threadjacking (sorry Yoda ) but Yom, if you want to play Nubia/Axum with Meroe and/or Napata, both cities are placed on my Egyptian map. Just to let you know. Maybe you will be interested in modding it.

Nice to know you have such a knowledge for apart from the capitals, well, my knowledge did not go much further.

 

[Yom]

I'll try and help you, but I'm busy today, maybe tomorrow or this weekend

 

[Yoda Power]

ok sometime next weekend i will update the scenario. If you have more suggestions just post them, but dont be sure i will reply though, I will read them though

 

[Mobilize]

Yoda's mind is probably fried with all the requests and corrects and etc etc.. I'm dizzy now.
