Why Atlantean is good civ design

Something I missed when I was a kid,

Who are Atlantean? Entirely Fictional?
No not really fictional at all.
We are talking 3000 years ago the fall of Egypt. When the Greek pantheon was being overthrown by the Roman pantheon. Which is what Atlantis really is. Its Greece, after Norse influence. They have Roman Judaism biblical myth units, oracle which is underpowered, but best unit, Calabria which is a red haired Celtic angel. And Satyr which is biblical devil.

The campaign is bad, but it’s better than the Chinese campaign. But there is a background story being told. For example Atlantean looting relic from Egypt and going out to Europe and beyond Atlantic ocean to build power. The statue of Zeus is destroyed by a Prometheus as the statue of Zeus was beheaded by Romans who overthrow their pantheon.

Kronos the god of time - resets the original count at 0AD account of Jesus. The oracle. Roman god of time

Oranos - Uranus Roman god that became image of biblical god from Roman Catholic Christian bible.

Gaia -// Celtic god account of Roman settlement west of Norse land.


Units -// tend to be greek murmullo type of gladiator, destroyer is Roman 0ad anti Celtic infantry. But the whole thing is -//


Atlantean is a representing Greece as was being overthrown by Rome, of which after Atlantean Roman pantheon ended, and Egypt completely abandoned, only one god was believed.


Atlantean is good civ design don’t replace. Fits the era.

Ok, I read all of this and I could only find a small little issue: I'm inside your house.

It appears the FE game development noobs, attempted to make a Roman civ before realising this and then falling back on ripping off old 2013 age of empires mods. With a Chinese faction that runs around shouting FU XI while using a rocket archer. Like a certain age of empires mod.

China civ is very poor game development, China campaign very poor game development. 3D models are all reverse engineered Jormund Elvers or a few vertices removed.

Is this a bait?
Animalman Nov 29, 2021 @ 11:14am 
what do you mean?


the conspiracy that the atlanteans represent the civilization of europe,
1. through their wealth, manors imply their wealth they have lots of land.
2. they have so much wealth, each citizen is rearing donkeys.
3. the mill is the most complex seen, much larger, and mechanical.
4. the gods are mix of celtic and roman influence.
5. kronos represent having the power over time to just at his will stop including greek history in the calendar.
6. atlantean is the titan civilization, capable of overthrowing greece.
7. remove the aztec volcanic decoration from the atleantean titan, you have a large satyr satan. The Devil.
8. The more land they have, settlements owned, the more favor they recieve.


9. the campaign does not see atleantean raise a titan.
10. the campaign has you conduct mostly evil work.
11. ajax and amanra act as only a catalyst for the presence of kastor in both egyptian and norse regions.
12. the campaign only has you cut down all three major titans, before freeing gaia and starting a new era with the death of kronos, a new date; and uncertain god affiliation. aka, Oranos and Gaia, kronos is considered by player protagonist as a bad god as hades, always the enemy. Oranos -- bliblical god, Gaia --- mother nature, are the good guys.


in modern day this relate - No God or God is Mother Nature, or God is heavenly sky passage is generally the philosophical decision people are making. Its either Nature, evolutione, animals etc; or its Oranos the behemoth and the stealing of egyptian artifacts and the beheading of zeus. This is the decision, Oranos via the Oracle and Jesus Christ as the GOAT god of all thing, or Gaia mother nature, evolution, species plants animals and time. WHich is the decision that the people of the earth have today. Unless you live in india.
Kronos can deconstruct peoples history without being stopped. Unless Gaia and Oranos.

Player in campaign is bad at first, and then good at the end. But uncertain which god was the primary god, as was Zeus in original campaign.


But what does this mean?

This mean the Kronos conquered the Celts; and Deconstructed their savage gods and history; as is the character of the atlanteans and their position with the norse on mission 1 of the campaign; and subsequently one of the temples of worship constructed by player on mission 2. ANd so kronos deconstruct the celts; and head out to the americas to deconstuct the aztec, but before doing so; was reintercepted by oranos and gaia. Oranos and Jesus changed Kronos into Gaia. And such the atlanteans went out to the americas and settle.

the key here is in the timing of events;

Player is to while worshipping kronos; deconstruct Odins temple. and write off the norse gods for good. the norse or greek gods would not exist by the time Oranos overthrows Kronos with help of Gaia. And the two would go on to conquer america. and become modern americans. and such the Alantean represent a civ that came long after Hercules Jason Medusa and the Argonauts. One that interacted with Celts, Norse, Egyptians, and Americas. this is the angle i believe that influenced the design of the culture.

The Atlanteans are from the Titans Expansion to AoM... which was released back in 2003 dude lol.

I'm not sure how you've reached the conclusion that the "FE noobs" have realized this in 2013 and then proceeded to go back in time somehow to steal the Chinese assets from AoE3.

Im not gonan explain the story is off topic, FE team and AOK heaven contributors are sucky ppl. And the chinese is not a good expansion.
Animalman Dec 2, 2021 @ 9:01pm 
Am just not gonna engage with some corn pop Spaniard using Google translate. ^_^


They sucky ppls that’s my opinion obtain via my knowledge. It’s not really a questionable thing unless it’s bothering you that I feel that way about the developers and the Chinese.


Why comment if not about Atlantean being a quality civ design

You’re culture can’t cure anything. And it’s judgement has been inherently wrong about nearly everything for thousands of years. Only your own blood will take your advice and act on it buddy.

Can you ask Kronos to give back my wasted time after reading this?
What is even going on here :steamfacepalm::cozybrawlhalla2:
Animalman Dec 13, 2021 @ 6:04pm 
Im gonna add to this


The Manowar myth unit, for Atlantean Civ was chosen because of it is the same shape and design as the helmet worn by the Spanish Conquistadors.
Animalman Dec 14, 2021 @ 4:19am 
Additionally ;

On page 223 of Bernal Diaz a foot soldiers account of the conquest of new Spain 1520, Moctezuma of Tenochitclan, Mexico City; described to Cortez female translator of the rumours he had heard about cortez during his journey through Mexico, and one of which was that his men came from great ships could shoot lightning from his hands.


So the manowar and the conquistadors helmet and the lightning is the mythology moctezuma assetted to the conquistadors according to his translator.
