Age of Empires ~ Hittites Civilization

History:

For several generations the Hittites and Egyptians remained diplomatic and military rivals. The great battle of Kadesh was fought between these superpowers around 1300 BC and was commemorated in Egypt by a great pictorial relief, an epic poem, and an official written record. Despite the heroics of Rameses II, the battle apparently was a draw. After several decades of uneasy peace, the two powers signed a peace treaty and mutual defense pact, perhaps in response to growing Assyrian power to the east. A copy of the treaty was inscribed on the walls of an Egyptian temple at Karnak where it can be read today. Duplicate copies of this treaty on clay and silver tablets were also found by archaeologists in both countries. The next eighty years were relatively peaceful and prosperous for the Hittites and much of the Middle East. During the great catastrophe around 1200 BC, however, the Hittite empire was suddenly destroyed, leaving only vestiges that were eventually overrun 500 years later by the Assyrians.

The Hittite imperial boundaries encompassed a diverse geography, including expansive grassy plains, mountains, sea coast, river valleys, and desert. Their economy was based mainly on grain and sheep raising, but they also possessed large deposits of ore. They were adept metal workers and their armies benefited by possessing superior weapons.

Bonuses:

The Hittite have three major bonuses. They have double stone thrower, catapult, and heavy catapult hit points. Plus they also have +1 Archery Range unit attack. and +4 war ship range.

Strengths:

They may lack the trireme, catapult trireme, and juggernaut, however the extra range of their ships makes them lethal. Oh and their heavy catapults are like tanks.

Weaknesses:

However they do lack good ship units.
