@@user-ew8wq4fj3g nah Israel deserves to be in the game because it’s an accurate re telling of history plus they’re important in the Bronze Age and beyond the collapse. Why would you not want game play with the tribes of Israel ?
I really appreciate the job done. It would be really cool if they started as a nomadic tribe in Sinai. Like that the conquest would be the main goal of the campaign. The court system could be built around the tribes. The levant is the only major area of the game without one
In biblical story telling narrative, yeah. But there are those who research a more historical approach who see a link on the Merneptah Stele and other such, between Ashkelon and Israel being destroyed in the same event.
Truth be told the Kingdom of Israel first description seems to have come about 200 years after the events of the game, though you can tell that the Canaanites are the proto Israelites by a few hints. For example the Canaan god of the sea Yam is literally the Hebrew word for sea. The god El is the word for god and used as description for THE god without saying his name.
Hey, I'm Jewish and I know a lot about Jewish and Hebrew history, culture, and more. I can help you with a lot of stuff like transliteration from Hebrew. like the names of the units and etc, weapons that were used at every certain period by the Hebrews/Israelites
As a Muslim I can only play the game with Israel so huge thanks. I cannot play with the idol gods , as its strictly forbidden to honor other gods. But I can happily play with Israel as they honored and worshiped the God of Abraham. Moses Yoshua and David were also my favourite Prophets and historical figures besides Abraham Christ and Mohamed.
