Ideas for future Chronicles DLCs

Age of Empires II: DE II - Discussion

If you start in Age 4 you don’t get Elite upgrades anyway. If you start in Post Imperial then you would just get all Elite upgrades independent of if you unlocked the unit or not.
So if you start in Post Imperial and select Ptolemaios you get the Elite version of the unit right away. Doesn’t really matter that you have the other Elite upgrades too since you can never unlock those units once you are locked into one Successor state.

If the choice just happens in Imperial Age it would be a little simpler.

It should be from Castle Age as the early Ptolemies/Seleucids/Antigonids were different from each other. We may even want to include Epirotes given Pyrrhus clashed with Rome and Carthaginians too.

124

If the civ is split in Caste Age, does that mean that Alexanders entire campaign happened in Feudal Age?

125

Thanks for the info. I only chose that point in time because the chronologically first campaign in the base game (Alaric) starts near the beginning of the 5th century. What might not be relevant for Chronicles at all.
Cutscenes in the style of Mesoamerican art would be awesome.

126

Not necessarily. The split would be more of how established each of the diadochi were. Not about where they figure in the Macedonian timeline per se.

Man looking through your German conversation here I wish I was more practiced up in German. At one point I probably could have understood it pretty well but I haven’t had any practice in about a decade…

They may have been Amorites, but i’m not 100% on that

129

I can’t believe I don’t know this. I’m basically an Old Testament history buff.

My church has had our Sunday sermons, and Wednesday night life groups both talking about Joshua at Jericho (looking at it from different angles) recently is the main reason I pulled that out lol.

Mainly going off Joshua 5:1 which references “…All the kings of the Amorites, which were on the side of Jordan westward, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which were by the sea…” so it seems like the Canaanites were the coastal people and the Amorites were the inland folks around the Jordan river on both banks (Sihon and Og are also referred to as Amorite kings), but I don’t think any spot explicitly refers to the people of Jericho as Amorites beyond that.

131

It’s certainly been a while since I’ve read Joshua, so this was a good refresher.

Imagine a Chronicle mission about Jericho siege, with trumpetters running arround the city instead of real siege warfare ! Using the flame signal to give ordrer to trumpeters where they have to run in circle… Infat I might work on that for a custom scenario myself.
