[DLC] The Empires of Sand - Culture Pack

[Arroyo]

Ja też tego nie rozumiem (narzekania na DLC z Arabami). Rozumiem narzekania na to, gdy Pont/Germania/Armenia są w DLC, bo to chamstwo. Ale narzekanie na DLC z nacjami, które są niemal nikomu nieznane? Paranoja. A tak btw. Eliminatorze - Attila to oddzielna gra, nie dodatek

Dwie jednostki z Aksum są przedstawione jako Gupta Indian, czy mi się wydaje? Jeśli tak to słabo. Są za bardzo perskie. Liczyłem na coś nowego z wyglądu.

Również spodziewałem się bardziej subkontynentalnych jednostek tak charakterystycznych dla tego regionu.Pozostaje zatem mieć nadzieję że KLA znajdzie czas i odpowiednio przerobi niedociągnięcia chłopaków z CA co już wcześniej robił ze świetnym efektem.

W pełni się z Tobą zgadzam zajacu. Jednostki z wyglądu to porażka. Liczyłem na coś nowego. Dali kilka nowych ubrań, hełmów i tarcz tym frakcjom więc liczyłem, że i jednostki indyjskie będą wyglądały oryginalnie, jednak te nowosci były pokazane już wcześniej w trailerze i nic więcej nie ma.
Oczywiście, ze postaram się je zmienic. To jedno z większych wyzwań do Attyli.

Aksum




The Kingdom of Aksum, from its position on the Red Sea coast, grows prosperous through trade; the Silk Road is kind to those who know how to harness its riches, and the Aksumites have spent their lives trading along it.

Aksum's Eritrean and Ethiopian heartlands have been occupied for hundreds of years - monuments and burial sites have dotted the landscape since at least 400BC, and the bountiful Hatsebo Plain and the stream at Mai Hedja have enabled the kingdom to flourish. However, since around the 1st century AD it has grown significantly in both size and population, due in no small part to its position on the hugely lucrative trade route to India and beyond. Zoskales, who was probably the first Aksumite king, held dominion over the Red Sea port of Adulis, and grew powerful from trade. His descendent, King Ezana, converted to Christianity during the 4th century AD, and the new religion is now prominent amongst the ruling elite and ordinary people alike.

When a nation becomes so rich and powerful it is bound to attract enemies who wish to monopolise its trade and steal its wealth for themselves. The neighbouring Himyarite Kingdom of southern Arabia is one such adversary. As the 5th century dawns, military and religious lines have once again been drawn in the sand - Aksum enjoys Rome's favour, and the wealth of the world fills its coffers - let those who would challenge that might face Aksumite steel, and feel Aksumite strength!

Zatem żebyś już teraz mógł się zabrać do roboty lub ewentualnie do rozpoczęcia przygotowań lakoniczna garść informacji o wojownikach Gupta Empire:

The Military of the Gupta EmpireThe stalemate was eventually broken by the Gupta Empire, although they never were able to take over the central Duncan Plateau, Southwest or Southern regions. Forming in the Northeast of India, the Gupta Empire (320 to 550 CE) is considered a golden age of Indian and Hindu history. This was a time when Indian culture flourished in all areas but like all empires it was made possible by a powerful military.
The military of the Gupta Empire remained based on the traditional four part armies of the past; however the chariot had been replaced by mounted cavalry by this time. They modeled the dress (trousers) and armor of their cavalry after the well clad and equipped Kushans. However, despite the use of horse archers by their enemies such as the Scythian, Parthian, and Hepthalite (White Huns or Huna) they never developed their own. The Gupta favored armored cavalry forces that attacked with lances or swords.
The Gupta military continued to rely heavily on infantry archers, which was an effective counter to mounted archers. One advancement the Gupta military made they made in archery was creating the steel bow; this weapon could match the power of the composite bow while not being subject to the problem of warping do to humidity. This incredibly powerful bow was capable of excellent range and could penetrate thick armor. However, steel bows would have only been used by elite or noble class warriors while common archers continued to use the highly regarded bamboo longbow. Iron shafts were substituted for the long bamboo cane arrows when armor penetration was needed, particularly against armored elephants and cavalry. Fire arrows also were employed by the Gupta, their long bamboo cane arrows being particularly well suited for use in these operations.
Gupta archers were protected by infantry units equipped with shields, javelins, and swords. They had no particular uniforms and dressed in accordance to their indigenous customs. Some warriors wore a type of tunic spotted with black aloe wood paste, which could be a type of tie-dye (or bandhni) that may have functioned as an early type of camouflage. Indian Gupta era infantry rarely wore pants, instead going into battle with bare legs. Skullcaps (more common) or thickly wrapped turbans were worn around the head to give some protection. Shields were generally curved or rectangular and featured intricate designs, sometimes decorated with a dragon’s head. The swords could be long swords, curved swords or daggers.
Elite troops and nobles would have had access to armor, such as chainmail, although the hot Indian climate can make heavy armor unbearable. Use of a breast plate and simple helmet would have been more common. They had access to better steel weapons as well, such as broadswords, axes and the Khanda, a uniquely Indian sword with a broad double blade and blunt point. The Khanda was a slashing weapon and considered very prestigious. Steal was developed in the Tamil region of Southern India between 300 BC and the start of the common era. Steal weapons were highly prized and traded throughout the Near east and ancient Europe. Indian steal was legendary for its tensile strength and knowledge of it fueled a quest for improved metallurgy across the Near east and Europe. By the time of the Gupta’s steel weapons would have been more come common in Indian warfare, but still only used by elite warriors.
War elephants continued to be used and pacaderm armor was advanced throughout this a period. Elephants remained a component of the combined arms tactics employed by Gupta generals. The use of war elephants coordinated with armored cavalry and infantry supported foot archers is likely the reason for the Gupta Empires success in war against both Hindu kingdoms and foreign armies invading from the Northwest. Another reason may have been a higher level of discipline compared to their tribal rivals. At its height the Gupta Empire had ¾ million soldiers.
The Gupta empire also maintained a navy to control water ways and their coasts. They also had a high level of understanding of siege warfare, employing catapults and other sophisticated war machines.

Jedno niewielkie ale odnośnie ubioru żołnierzy. Ten obszar, był pod bardzo silnym wpływem Persji i Greków, więc dla mnie jednostki podobne do perskich nie są jakimś wielkim błędem.

Królestwo Indo-Greckie zakończyło swoją egzystencję w Iw.n.e. jakieś dwa stulecia przed pojawieniem się na arenie dziejowej Królestwa Guptów i w okresie swego istnienia czerpało pełnymi garściami z kultury indyjskiej aniżeli na odwrót.Co do Persów to po odzyskaniu niepodległości w IIIw.n.e. zajęci byli bardziej nieustanna wojaczką z Cesarstwem rzymskim a póżniej z Bizancjum niż ekspansją choćby kulturową na subkontynent indyjski.
Zresztą okres panowania dynastii Guptów określany jest mianem "złotego wieku" w którym powstały największe literackie epopeje indyjskie,rozkwitły astronomia oraz matematyka z podarowaniem dla ludzkości cyfr arabskich włącznie.Jeśli ktoś miał wówczas na kogoś wpływ to mówmy o kulturze hinduskiej.

Ja nie widzę żadnego podobieństwo do Indo-Greków. Bardziej miałem na myśli późnych Sasanidów, no i te hełmy jak już z wczesnego islamu co z Hindusami niewiele ma wspólnego.
