  6. I'm not sure, becuse I play to times and I don't remember if in second time what Ai I was select it. I try to play again. The females are very good with tasks, but when I rush the at last time( the Ai practically lose the game because don't try to counter again or attack again, only perform a single attack ( massive and laggy one) That I ask for the feature that let match setup remember the preferences for each matching.
  7. 2. There are some cases where the ai sets it's soldiers to passive, or standground, because it can't handle strange cases. So it can happen they won't attack a ram. is very disconcert ant you can thing the Ai can send a message to say when are in passive mode? For developer curiosity?

  13. These arms all come from Rietstap. The Angelos, Cantacuzene, Comnene, Ducas, Lascaris, Paleologue, Vatatzes families held the imperial throne at some point, and all but one display a double-headed eagle. A branch of the Paleologue family ruled over Montferrat in Northern Italy, when the title passed to the Gonzaga family (who quartered their arms with Paleologue); the latter died out in the early 18th century.

See also: Byzantine heraldry : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byzantine_heraldry The "tetragrammatic cross", emblem of the Palaiologos dynasty from the mid-13th century Crosses with firesteels have been used since Roman times, as symbols, but not as coats of arms or emblems.[2] Some historians connect it with the labarum, the Imperial flag of Constantine the Great (r. 306337).[2] In the 6th century the cross with four fields (with either letters or heraldry), tetragramme, appear on Byzantine coins.[3] The symbol was adopted by the First Crusaders since the first event, People's Crusade (1096).[3] Michael VIII Palaiologos (12611282) adopted the symbol when he resurrected the Byzantine Empire, with the initials (letters β) of the imperial motto of the Palaiologos dynasty: King of Kings, Ruling Over Kings (Greek: βασιλεὺς βασιλέων, βασιλεύων βασιλευόντων Basileus Basileōn, Basileuōn Basileuontōn).[3] It was used in flags and coins.[3] The symbol appear on the Imperial flag "Divelion" (διβελλιον), a naval war flag, used in front of all other banners, recorded by Pseudo-Kodinos (fl. 1347-1368) wrongly[4] as "a cross with fire-steels" (σταυρον μετα πυρεκβολων),[5] and depicted in the Castilian Conosçimiento de todos los reynos atlas (ca. 1350).[3][6] As Alexander Soloviev writes, the use of letters in western heraldry is non existent.[4] In the Middle Ages, both the Greek style, with "closed fire-steels" (β - B ), and the Serb syle, with "open fire-steels" (C - S), were used in Serbia.[4] The four symbols surrounding the cross have thus been interpreted as either letters, or flints or firestones. The eagles The single-headed Roman imperial eagle continued to be used in Byzantium, although far more rarely.[3] Thus "eagle-bearers" (ὀρνιθόβορας), descendants of the aquilifers of the Roman legions, are still attested in the 6th century military manual known as the Strategikon of Maurice, although it is unknown whether the standards they carried bore any resemblance to the legionary aquilae.[4] On coins, the eagle ceases to appear after the early 7th century, but it is still occasionally found on seals of officials and on stone reliefs. In the last centuries of the Empire it is recorded as being sewn on imperial garments, and shown in illuminated manuscripts as decorating the cushions (suppedia) on which the emperors stood.[3] The emblem mostly associated with the Byzantine Empire, however, is the double-headed eagle. It is not of Byzantine invention, but a traditional Anatolian motif dating to Hittite times, and the Byzantines themselves only used it in the last centuries of the Empire.[5] The adoption of the double-headed eagle has sometimes been dated to the mid-11th century, when the Komnenoi supposedly adopted it from Hittite rock-carvings in their native Paphlagonia. This, however, is clearly erroneous: although as a decorative motif the double-headed eagle begins to appear in Byzantine art during the 11th century, it is not securely attested in connection with the Emperor and his family until well into the 13th century, under the Palaiologan emperors.[6][7] Prior to that, in the late 12th and throughout the 13th century, the eagle was used in northern Syria and Upper Mesopotamia: the Artuqid sultans of Amida used it as their insigne, the coins of the Zengid dynasty sported it, and Saladin and the Seljuq sultan Kayqubad I likewise used it as a decorative motif in their buildings.[8] The Palaiologan emperors used the double-headed eagle as a symbol of the senior members of the imperial family. It was mostly used on clothes and other accoutrements, such as the boots of Constantine XI Palaiologos, the last Byzantine emperor, recorded by George Sphrantzes. The only occasion it appears on a flag is on the ship that bore Emperor John VIII Palaiologos to the Council of Florence, as mentioned by Sphrantzes and confirmed by its depiction in the Filarete Doors of St. Peter's Basilica.[9][10] Within the Byzantine world, the eagle (gold on red background) was also used by the semi-autonomous Despots of the Morea and by the Gattilusi of @#$%s, who were Palaiologan vassals.[11][12] The double-headed eagle was used in the breakaway Empire of Trebizond as well, being attested imperial clothes but also on flags. Indeed, Western portolans of the 14th15th centuries use the double-headed eagle (silver/golden on red/vermilion) as the symbol of Trebizond rather than Constantinople. Single-headed eagles are also attested in Trapezuntine coins, and a 1421 source depicts the Trapezuntine flag as yellow with a red single-headed eagle. Apparently, just as in the metropolitan Byzantine state, the use of both motifs continued side by side.[13][14] Other Balkan states followed the Byzantine model as well: chiefly the Serbians, but also the Bulgarians and Albania under George Kastrioti (better known as Skanderbeg), while after 1472 the eagle was adopted by Muscovy and then Russia.[15] In Western Europe, the Holy Roman Empire likewise adopted the double-headed eagle in the mid-13th century, under Frederick II Hohenstaufen, and used it side-by-side with the single-headed version.[16] The crescent moon rises again. (Eastern influence) Another very Western design could be found on one of the now-demolished towers of the seaward walls of Constantinople, which had been restored by Andronikos II Palaiologos r. 12821328) and bore that emperor's emblem, a crowned lion rampant holding a sword.[29] Another example of the influence of the east was the frequent use of the star and crescent moon symbol, which appears on coins, military insignia and, perhaps, as a sometime municipal emblem of the imperial city. The symbol was clearly of eastern origin, dating from at least the second millennium BCE in Moab and Sumer. It is known that Anna Notaras, daughter of the last Megas Doux of the Byzantine Empire Loukas Notaras, after the fall of Constantinople and her emigration to Italy, made a seal with her coat of arms which included Two Lions holding above the crescent a cross or a sword.[30]
  14. Ok Some history in order bring light to this. Bizantium before Rome. I discard this symbol because is a Bizantine symbol pre Hellenistic(Macedonian) time http://www.livius.org/cn-cs/constantinople/byzantium-greek.html Contrary to popular belief, Greece has a long history of heraldry. Unfortunately, this rich tradition was almost completely eradicated during the Ottoman rule of the Greek lands (traditionally placed from the fall of Constantinople in 1453 to the Greek War of Independence in 1821 though not historically accurate). As we all know, heraldry was introduced as a form of identification of knights and leading warriors in general on the battlefield. For that reason, heraldry came up with its tinctures and its rules. Also, because heraldry was originally used in the battlefield, and imagine what the battlefields of the middle ages looked like, the earliest arms were very simple: a single tincture or a single charge or ordinary. During the middle ages, Greece continued under the Roman Empire but it had become wholly hellenized. The Eastern Roman Empire, with its capital in the newly renamed Constantinople, is better known as the Byzantine Empire. The mid to late Byzantine period coincides with the beginning of heraldry as we know it in the rest of Europe. With the crusaders having to pass through the empire to get to the Holy Land, many of the traditions of the western and eastern parts of Europe were exchanged. If heraldry had not already taken in the empire yet, it did with the Crusades. However, this is purely my own conjecture On a more scientific basis, we can find images on seals that can be considered heraldic but, these are more personal rather than familial. It is in the 13th century with the restoration of the Empire under the Palelogos line that we can find heraldry as we know it today. However, heraldry remained with the upper classes and was not as widespread as other countries in western Europe. The arms typically ascribed to the Byzantine Empire are the double headed eagle and the tetragrammatic cross. I am not clear on whether these were just those of the Empire or also those of the Paleologos. The Bs in the tetragrammatic (which mean 4 letters in Greek) cross have been given the meaning of Βασιλεύς Βασιλέων Βασιλεύων Βασιλευόντων or King of Kings Ruler of Rulers. After the fall of Constantinople, the tradition continues in those lands not under Ottoman rule such as Rhodes (with the Hospitaller knights), Crete (under the Venetians) and the Ionian islands (also under Venice). However, only the latter remained outside of Ottoman rule completely. The heraldry of Rhodes is mostly of the Hospitaller knights, better known today as the Sovereign Military Order of Malta. Especially in the Ionian islands, the Greek population adopted many of the Italian traditions and each island had its noble families listed in the local Libro dOro along with their coat of arms. Many of these families sent their children to Italy to study and in most cases, if they didnt already have arms, they adopted new arms when at University. Johannes Rietstap, the noted Dutch heraldist of the 19th century, is best known for his published list of the blazons of arms of over 130000 families of Europe. Amongst those, we find a number of Greek families of which a small sampling are listed below (from the online Rietstap database in French): (We need help here Stan ) Agelastos Dargent, à deux bandes dazur. Agliardis Écartelé: aux 1 et 4, dazur, à laigle de sable, couronnée dor; aux 2 et 3, de sable, à trois pommes de grenade au naturel. Casque couronné.

Anthonis Dor, au chevron de gueules, acc. en pointe dun sanglier de sable.

Comneno Dor, à laigle éployée de sable, tenant de sa griffe dextre une épée et de sa senestre un sceptre et surmontée dune couronne impériale, ladite aigle ch. dun écusson ovale dargent, surch. de trois cloches dazur. Comnenos Dargent, à trois fasces de sable (armes de la ville de Trébisonde). Les membres de la famille impériale portaient ces armes sur le tout de leurs armes de famille qui étaient: Dor, à trois cloches de sable. Ducas Dazur, à la croix dargent. Lascaris De gueules, à laigle éployée dor, chaque tête couronnée du même. Devise: LASCARORUM FELICITATI. Lascaris Dor, à laigle éployée de sable, languée et armée de gueules, surmontée dune couronne à lantique dor. Lascaris De gueules, à laigle éployée dor, chaque tête couronnée du même, ch. sur la poitrine dun écusson de gueules à un soleil dor. Légende: NEC ME FULGURA. Lascaris Écartelé dazur et dargent, à laigle éployée de sable, becquée et membrée dor, languée de gueules, brochant sur les écartelures, chaque tête couronnée dor, ch. sur la poitrine dun écusson de gueules à un soleil dor. Lascaris-Castellar Dor, à laigle éployée de sable, becquée et membrée de gueules. Palaeologos Armes de fam.: De gueules, à la croix dor. Armes mod.: De gueules, à la croix dor, cantonnée de quatre B du même (signifiant Basileus Basileuvn Basileuvn Basileuontun, en français: Roi des Rois, régnant sur des rois, Michel Pâleologue, élevé au trône byzantin en 1260, ajouta les quatre B aux armes de famille.). Palamides Dargent, à un dragon ailé à deux pattes de sinople, rehaussé dor. There are a few other sources one can look at to get blazons of arms of Greek families. One of the main sources cited repeatedly is the book written in 1983 by Mihail Dimitri Sturdza Grandes Familles de Grèce, dAlbanie et de Constantinople. Another excellent and well researched source on heraldry focused on families from the Ionian island of Kefalonia is the website of Mr. Panayotis Cangelaris. He has posted his paper on the arms of Greek students at the University of Padova during the 17th and 18th centuries here. He has also published a dedicated list of those students from the island here. - See more at: http://www.idtg.org/archive/155-heraldry-in-greece/#sthash.Zb2S7aA8.dpuf
