  1. I prefer a kind of cart similar to capturarle packed siege, more easily, but indeed slow very slow... Its supposedly our first "mode relic" is based in Alexander death body and the successors fighting to keep the body.
  2. Supposedly later Hellenistic archer have armor, but is debatable. http://theminiaturespage.com/boards/msg.mv?id=289960 there a PDF in WFG DB discard the Syrians. Cretan Archer: Toxótēs Krētikós The most famous of Hellenistic mercenaries, the Cretan archers were highly valued throughout the Hellenistic world. The political instability and endemic warfare of Crete meant a steady supply of Cretans available for mercenary service overseas. Wearing a simple plain tunic, the chiton, maybe even linen cuirass, and bronze helmets the Cretan archer is also protected by a small, bronze boss-less round shield strapped to the forearm so as to enable both arms to be free to work the composite bow. The small round shields were a distinctive feature of the Cretan archers and with the short sword the Cretan archers were able to engage in hand-to-hand combat. Cities of Crete encouraged the recruitment of their people as mercenaries overseas, reaching treaties with foreign rulers to facilitate the activities of mercenary recruiters.
  3. This nice video, shame found later.
  4. With Latin the team based in to the pronunciation.
  5. Carthaginians will speak Hebrew or if is possibly Aramean. Celtic like Gaelic. ( Wales).
  6. @sphyrth in Spanish may be?
  7. They used Neocretans in Raphia. so @stanislas69 you can create several helmets based in neocretans then other based in Syrian(Assyrian type)?
  8. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assyria_(Roman_province) Assyrian archers? Or Syrian? In 332 BC, Assyria fell to Alexander the Great, the Macedonian Emperor from Greece, who called the inhabitants Assyrioi. The Macedonian Empire (332–312) was partitioned in 312 BC. It thereafter became part of the Seleucid Empire (312 BC). It is from this period that the later Syria Vs Assyria naming controversy arises, the Seleucids applied the name not only to Assyria itself, but also to the Levantine lands to the west (historically known as Aram and Eber Nari), which had been part of the Assyrian empire but, the north east corner aside, never a part of Assyria proper. When the Seleucids lost control of Assyria proper, the name Syria survived but was erroneously applied only to the land of Aramea (also known as Eber Nari) to the west that had once been part of the Assyrian empire, but apart from the north eastern corner, had never been a part of Assyria itself, nor inhabited by Assyrians. This was to lead to both the Assyrians from Northern Mesopotamia and the Arameans and Phoenicians from the Levant being collectively dubbed Syrians (and later also Syriacs) in Greco-Roman and later European culture, regardless of ethnicity, history or geography. http://www.romanarmy.net/images/Pages/Military/hamians.htm https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Syria Roman Assyrian Archers However, a number of Assyrians were conscripted into the Roman Army, with many serving in the region of Hadrians Wall in Roman Britain, and inscriptions in Aramaic made by soldiers have been discovered in Northern England dating from the second century. http://www.romanarmy.net/images/Pages/Military/hamians.htm
  9. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achaemenid_Assyria the Assyrian archers used by Persian in campaigns.
  10. I can create photo manipulation , is like the case other rare helmets, don't have a reference.
  11. May be mixing with some iron fix that lot of bronze.
  12. Those shields are Seleucids are successors shields.
  13. With have taxes in the game
  14. Nope. The Thracian and Galatian mercenaries at Daphne would have been of good use in campaigns in the rough, hilly terrain. For example, the arms and equipment of the Thracian troops allowed the individual soldier greater mobility and freer action in hand-to-hand combat than a phalangite could adopt.[29]
  15. Change behavior stances to protect him.
