    The Babylonians and Norse released with booster packs that were set in their respective regions. The Persians, however, did not. The Indians won’t have a full scale booster pack but will have perhaps 8-10 quests, all set in the jungles of India. They are mostly complete and look beautiful.

    "Powercreep", "Endgame levelling", "Bonus stat rolls" and why it may actually be healthy for PvE

    I just said this to Ardeshir on discord, but I think it is worth saying here, too. Raising the roof on the game is certainly an obvious topic that has been raised many times. I agree with the concept of it -- any game that lasts forever needs expansion to maintain players' interest. our major...

    Halloween Event 2022 Preview!

    Not a bad idea to toss on the wishlist from the 3d guys. We gave them this Halloween off from events (they are busy animating the Indians).

    The Indians will have plenty of elephants. Don’t worry. We just haven’t showed them yet.

    I concede that the Indians could make an argument that they should be the one civ without a ram. However, were we to ever make a civ without a ram, I’d want the civ to still have some siege in Age 3, and I don’t believe such a unit would fit the Indians. It’s a very interesting question. tbh...

    Thanks. I believe that would trace back to a typo by me on the draft I sent to PF2K.

    I don't believe it would mesh for a civ to have no siege weapon until the Palintonon. However, most of our design rules can have exceptions.

    That’s going to be unique to the Winter Event. It’s our little spin on the ancient and widespread season of giving.

    What exactly is the issue here? That the Indian Elephant Archer is beautiful and perfect? How else should it be?

    And rightfully so! Persia was basically the center of the world during our era. For that matter, so was India. The ancient Indian city of Taxila (located in modern day Pakistan) was home to one of the world's earliest and most significant universities -- the Greeks sent their brightest people...
