# History ¶
The roots of the Tribes came up at the [[https://www.widelands.org/forum/topic/5801/|Naval Tournament 2023]] where Teayo played against kaputtnik in [[https://www.widelands.org/forum/topic/5826/?page=1#post-40717|Round 1]] on the Map Calvission on 18th August 2023 17:15 to 19:45 MESZ . ¶

In the progress of the game kaputtnik gained the controll over the Sea and started in the late game a Naval Invasion to Teayo's Island . ¶

Teayo struggled with the economy and started up to build a Green Tree Wall with Forester houses with the try to schedule and slow down kaputtnik's Naval Invasion on Teayo's Island . ¶

The Idea behind this defense strategy is to prevent attacks and loosing soliders and to gain more time to recruit more soldiers ore to train and upgrading the own soldiers . ¶

But this choosen defense strategy by Teayo don't worked on the Map because the ground has bad growing Conditions for Trees . ¶

After the losed game in the visitation of the replay and the analyse of the game , the Idea for Teayo's first Addon was born . ¶

The first Idea was to add only one new Feature : The Wallmason . ¶

Because the Empire Tribe has normally a lot of granite ware in the warehouse after a time and there no big usage for all of this granite . ¶

So the Wallmason used all this granite to build up walls . Walls are a complett new Feature for Widelands . ¶

The development started one day later on 19th August 2023 . The first Name of the Addon was **Mauerbauer.wad** . ¶

From 20th August 2023 to mid September 2023 , in Blender starts the Concept Phase , which Style and Geometry have the walls later . ¶

After the Concept Phase was mostly finished the development of the 3D-Blender Models started . ¶

In October 2023 , the Addon was renamed from **Mauerbauer.wad** to **mauerbauer.wad** . ¶

In November 2023 was a point reached where a first test was maked and checked to wall style look ingame . ¶

Later in same month the Addon was renamed from **mauerbauer.wad** to **wallmason.wad** . ¶

In December 2023 the next big Idea came up , a huge extension of the existing Empire Tribe , as own Tribe . ¶

With more buildings , wares and workers and not only to add a Wallmason . ¶

During the development there was some points of struggeling with the method of adding new wares , workers and buildings to an existing tribe , ¶

with the Problem that the new wares are bad placed in the Tribe Inventory UI Interface . ¶

Now the Addon transformed from a Addon that adds Wares, Workers and Buildings to an existing Tribe to a Addon that adds a entire new Tribe . ¶

In December 2023 the Addon was renamed from **wallmason.wad** to **Imperium Plus.wad** . ¶

In January 2024 the Addon was renamed from **Imperium Plus.wad** to **imperium_plus.wad** . ¶

After huge progesses with the 3D-Blender Models for the Walls , including preparations for a Animation of build up and down a Wall Element , ¶

the development of the extension of the Empire Tribe started . ¶

The Idea was to make the Economy more realistic adding more supply chain componments . ¶

In June 2024 the Addon was renamed from **imperium_plus.wad** to **empire_plus.wad** . ¶

From June 2024 to October 2024 the development of the Extension Concept was finished . All Ideas which wares , workers and buildings are added . ¶

The Idea came up to give the Empire Tribe more abbilities and strategys . Some new military sites was added . ¶

Also the training and upgrading of the soliders was maked more difficult and complex . ¶

In November 2024 the Addon was finally renamed from **empire_plus.wad** to **romans.wad** . ¶

The reason for this renameing was that "Empire" can also descripes other Empires of other cultures , not only the antice roman empire . ¶

For example the great ottoman empire , the japanese empire or the maja empire . ¶

To make clear which real historic empire this tribe has as template , the name was changed to romans . ¶

Also the offical Empire Tribe of Widelands already has in the tool tip interface the reference to that this tribe has the roman culture . ¶

# Removed Content ¶
June 2024 - Hops with the Hops plantation was added as base ware for the beer production , to seperate the beer supply chain from Wheat . ¶

November 2024 - Hops with the Hops plantation was removed because beer was not a common drink in the antice roman culture . ¶
