New Civ idea: The Jews

The Maccabean revolt and conquests of the Hasmonean dynasty are prime Chronicles material tbh.

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.
