Category:Age of Empires factions

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.
