I read that you're aiming for an Egypt/Roman/Greek (with a side order of Dark Ages). Not sure the weapons are giving that vibe. Are the ones listed the Martial options available, rather than the complete list of all available weapons? I'm guessing the rapier is re-fluffed into some dex-base stabby.. weapon? Likewise, the hand-crossbow is an interesting choice for the thematic styles you've outlined. With technology waiting to be discovered, perhaps limit the ranged tech to slings, javelins and shortbows - then light crossbows and perhaps heavy crossbows through exploring. Personally I wouldn't worry about accessing certain weapons in conjunction with the -5/+10 Feats. If you're already embracing the idea of crafting a setting through tailored choices/restrictions then simply remove them. That is, if the access to certain weapons is being influenced by said feats - if it is not then rock on!Are there other empires/nations/civilizations? Which of the 'non-human' races are part of them? Do any run them? Have they been subjugated as part of Civilization's expansion?I ask because if there's one thing that defines the Ancient Egypt, Classical Greece, Roman and the Dark Ages its that they were glorious, terrifying, all-conquering, (or with regards to the Dark Ages, their collapse) each representing a singular set of cultural values that were aggressively enforced on the world around them. Typically, this doesn't leave much wiggle room for the races that aren't part of the dominant civilization, other than 'barbarians in the wilds' or commoners/slaves - unless of course, they're running the show!</blockquote>
