New Civ idea: The Jews

Yes, that is my opinion as well. Unfortunately, it’s likely that those events will never be covered, since they’re not that important to world history.

they are. Jesus predicted them.

Weren’t they before Jesus?

The Siege of Masadah would be one of the greatest scenarios ever. The powerful roman empire was not able to conquer a small little rock with little jewish soldiers. Why? Because that rock is not accessible, from any side.

I am talking about the destruction of the temple by the Romans

Oh yeah, that. Forgot about it somehow.

Why not have the Khazars civ? They were Jewish, and are more in line with the Medieval theme of AoE2? (Should have introduced them in the Caucasus DLC.)

I agree. My Pride of the Caucasus DLC concept on the wiki had the Alans and Khazars introduced alongside the Armenians and Georgians, and all of them except the Khazars had a new Caucasian architecture set. (The Khazars had the Central Asian architecture set.) Oh well…

That’s an over-exaggeration. SOME Khazar elites converted to Judaism. But it was hardly the main religion.

I agree having a nomadic civi to represent Jews seems really odd.

Kindom or Jerusalem/jews should be either tash unit civis to represent urban militia type civi or fully depending on the UUs to represent crusaders being the main military.

Looks like there can be a UU afterall.

Stop necroing this post…

Also ballesteros implies that they would use crossbows, and putting Sephardim jews with the jews in the lecant is odd

3K is 99.99% Forgotten Empires trying to do China while dodging around the one China policy so they can avoid controversy and keep selling in that market

There’s literally zero chance we ever get anything that can relate back to real world current events that are considered controversial somewhere.

While the lack of Tibetans might indeed have been a result of Microsoft being over-cautious (medieval Tibet isn’t censored in CCP), 3K campaigns are 100% a cashgrab. To get a game about medieval Chinese, Jurchen, and Khitan/Tangut commanders banned, you’d probably need to insert controversial stuff on purpose.

Maybe for “Chronicles DLC”. Fit very well with that tymeline.

They even fight the Romans many times, and were a vassal state of Achemenids and Helenistic kingdoms.
