Build styles[edit | edit source]

Desert[edit | edit source]

Used by

  • Garamantians - black African?
  • Tokharoi - Iranian
  • Aksum - black African
  • Zhangzhung - Asian units.

Egyptian[edit | edit source]

  • Kushites - black African
  • Egyptian - Greek units, different civilians. The civilians however adopt Hellenic dress.
  • Phoenicia,

4/9 - scrap the old Mongol set from Hong Quan Cand for this one.

Tribal[edit | edit source]

  • Pyu - Indian,
  • Koreans - Asian,
  • Nanyue - Asian - but it uses the same civilians as the Egyptians.

Classical[edit | edit source]

  • Rome,
  • Greece,
  • Illyrians

All of these factions use the Greek style of unit.

Persian[edit | edit source]

Absorbed New World Empires' faux Sassanian/Moorish style for

  • Persians - Iranian (heh)

Barbarian[edit | edit source]

  • Germans - European,
  • Dacians - European,
  • Gauls - European,
  • Saka - European, Duh.
  • Sarmatians - Iranian units
  • Xiongnu - Asian units.

No changes - other than that the Big City will be replaced with the Shang city (Banpo) from Warbirth.

Indian[edit | edit source]

For Asian factions like

  • India - Indian,
  • Funan - Indian.

Looks like New World Empires is making a reprise in this mod, because these two factions use the low Indian style of Project 666!

Reintroduce Iroquois buildings for this one.

  1. Check the Sarmatian build from Kings & Conquerors first,
  2. Then lock in Mauryan buildings as its [1] appearance, then
  3. Integrate Low Indian style, from Swords of the Prophets, as the main build style of this faction.

Far Eastern[edit | edit source]

Is Chinese - Asian.

[1] design is essentially Zhoul architecture.

Compound styles:

Only Xiongnu have a compound style, Chinese + Barbarian.

Unit styles[edit | edit source]

  • African. Secondary General, Peon, Scholar for Aksum
  • Default / Roman. Secondary General, Peon, Scholar for Egypt
  • Asian. Secondary General, Peon, Scholar for Nanyue
  • "American" - was Malays for original Age of Empires - to be replaced with Iranian units from KC
  • Iroquois - imported over from Kings & CXonquerors
  • Indian. Secondary General, Peon, Scholar for Pyu, Funan. Shared with Nanyue type.

Only five Command units:

  • Captains, and then
  • Patrots:
    • The Elder
    • The Strongman
    • The Warlord
    • The Monarch

Whatever units were designed as patriots for Akkadian and Chinese fasctions can be absobred right away as a top priority - these must be used on Asian and African factions first. Note that the European and Ppersian Captains are similar to one another in [2]. Vanilla patriots can and should be used right away.
