Ok, we have other contester for roman symbol. Luperca the "Lupa"

I know that why need discuss this highly. Hmm you had a Joker in the hand haha. We'll let see what are good for that. We need something like Beowulf , warrior sagas in original language.

I think the Eagle I'd more Greek even Ptolemies use one. I have a figure of Lupa capitolina. Luperca. I agree are a topic with that in art forum. We have the thebans sacred band already as eyecandy. And Colossus are in design with other wonders see art forum to bring and discover our last discuss about visual art and 3d models. Now with technology three see technical forum.

Wow that amazing visual source. With where you got this. I want crooked the philosopher see this.

Sorry I haven't old Germanic books. If you can go to museum contact a Historian from Germany, that so cool. I need a German guy to help us in this. I hope you are or live in Germany?

Ok ok, we need know where Europa Barbarorum. Sourced their names. Example : The Dugunthiz, Jugunthiz... Gaizoz Frije, herthaganautoz... I found some page where explain that but, I want other sources and see if found more. The Etymology of some names for our game is very important. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=youth ------------- Old English scield, scild "shield; protector, defense," literally "board," from Proto-Germanic *skelduz (cf. Old Norse skjöldr, Old Saxon skild, Middle Dutch scilt, Dutch schild, German Schild, Gothic skildus), from *skel- "divide, split, separate," from PIE root *(s)kel- (1) "to cut" (see scale (n.1)). Perhaps the notion is of a flat piece of wood made by splitting a log. Shield volcano (1911) translates German Schildvulkan (1910). Plate tectonics sense is from 1906, translating Suess (1888). Old English spere, from Proto-Germanic *speri (cf. Old Norse spjör, Old Saxon, Old Frisian sper, Dutch speer, Old High German sper, German Speer "spear"), from PIE root *sper- "spear, pole" (cf. Old Norse sparri "spar, rafter," and perhaps also Latin sparus "hunting spear"). Interesting not? http://www.europabarbarorum.com/factions_sweboz_units.html And we need for units and some evolutions. And Alemanni units. Suebi: 1. Juwúnga Frankaz 2. Franka Gathesaz 3. Wilthijaz Bairaz 4. Furmas Thundaz 5. Austa Sachsaz 6. Swartas Skelthús 7. Herthaganautoz 8. Semnone Sachsaz 9. Wudumánnoz 10. Liukhmaniz Húsaz 11. Thunoraz Húsaz

No no names of weapons example how they called their bows, their swords, they units. Help me! Where is Crooked now XD. I give up. May be Michael can explain how do it this.

Chemical warfare in Dura In January 2009, researchers claimed they had found evidence that the Persian Empire used poisonous gases at Dura against the Roman defenders during the siege. Excavations at Dura have discovered the remains of 19 Roman and 1 Persian soldiers at the base of the city walls.[19] An archaeologist at the University of Leicester suggested that bitumen and sulphur crystals were ignited to create poisonous gas, which was then funnelled through the tunnel with the use of underground chimneys and bellows.[20] The Roman soldiers had been constructing a countermine, and Sassanian forces are believed to have released the gas when their mine was breached by the Roman countermine. The lone Persian soldier discovered among the bodies is believed to be the individual responsible for releasing the gas before the fumes overcame him as well.[21] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dura-Europos

With Germans are enough. XD. And I have good stuff with this, is one of my favorites. They are undefeated Parthians/Sassanids.

Is long path... We have time until Empires Besieged. Is some obscure to me, even we don't have enough sources for a good accuracy with units. For example a Germanic name. Champion units Forbidden units Name of the weapons and armory. And names even with Germanic names. Warfare. I see this, about mini castles as siege towers and women in their armies. 102 BC – A battle between Romans and the Teutonic Ambrones at Aquae Sextiae took place during this time. Plutarch described that "the fight had been no less fierce with the women than with the men themselves... the women charged with swords and axes and fell upon their opponents uttering a hideous outcry."[72] 101 BC – General Marius of the Romans fought the Teutonic Cimbrians. Cimbrian women followed the men in battle, shooting arrows from mobile "wagon castles", and occasionally left the wagon castles to fight with swords. Marius reported that when the battle went poorly for the men, the women emerged from their wagon castles with swords and threatened their own men to ensure that they would continue to fight. After reinforcements arrived for the Romans, the Cimbrian men all were killed, but the women continued to fight. When the Cimbrian women saw that defeat was imminent, they killed their children and committed suicide rather than be taken as captives.[73]

Yeah but, it's a game, we can do it 27 German playable factions. I love play with cimbri or Frisi or Suebi as single but think in game play. Now if you want Alemanni instead of Suebi is not difficult. But with the time cannot be the best. See we left Pontos, syracusan, Thracians, Numidian and other outside as Faction.

I found this. A Galstians helmet. The three main tribes of Galatia were the Trocmi (or Trogmi), Tolistoboii, and the Textosages. The Trocmi had as their capitol the town of Tavion, but also Mithridatum, Eccobriga, and Danala. The Textosages ruled from Ankyra. They also had a settlement known as Pitobriga and they renamed the town of Gordium to Vindia, a place where they had a large market of trading goods. The Tolistoboii were centered on Blucium, later a fortress of King Deiotaros, and also Peium, an oppidum where Deiotaros kept his massive treasury. Pessinus would later become the capitol of the Tolistoboii. The Teutobodiaci were a clan or sept within the Textosages and the tribes of the Voturi, Ambituti, and Tosiopes were clans of the Tolistoboii. The Galatians are known to have adopted a tetrarchy for their government. Four chieftains from each tribe, a total of twelve, would annually send 300 senators to Drunemton, a shrine that has yet to be discovered. Despite this, there was no overriding governments or policy; the tribes would remain separate overall, except in the face of a common enemy or on campaign.

Do it. Right was hard battle. Up the Ptolemies have their own firepower, I mean the siege warfare, if you do the Elephant rush above. Now I see you, you can help me with Germans in general forum. Is hard to do find, many information about terminology and good pics that is accurate with Suebi and Alemanni/Alamanni.

Buy we have Alemanni and Franks now. And don't forget the Goths.

Nice very nice.

Ok I watched too .try to upload some art works. We need this group can be a succes and bring more artist. You can be a good Ace in the hand. See I love this old school art. In Empire Earth and total war were great. This for Rome 2.

I agree with you, is weird have both types and that textures. Only need colorized in yellow right?

Little is known of Germanic helmets from this time period, which is why there have been many discussions regarding the Cimbri armour. No Germanic helmets from antiquity have been discovered, other than some re-worked Roman ones. Trajans Column does make up for this somewhat in its depiction of four irregulars. Scene thirty-six, shows a helmet consisting of a brow band, fore to aft band and ear to ear band, held on by a chinstrap. The angular shape of the bands determines they were made of metal, and therefore are called Crossband style helmets. Between the bands, and also below the neck of the helmet, locks of hair can be seen. These are considered the warriors own locks, as opposed to metal imitation of hair or wigs found on Roman helmets. I need confirm this from Rome Surrectum mod. Trajan column.

Is hard too find and I don't stop because, I open many pages with rich information. If stop, is hard I want to do this tomorrow. If you guys wanna help me try the open the sources and find, or find non English words. Thank you guys for help and inspired my search. I hope no one angry for posting, many people thinks somebody paids me for this. Or why I'm the only one the posting is because I love this. History.

HJORTSPRING BOG In a bog just 50 meters across on the island of Als in southern Denmark, peat diggers discovered well-preserved remains of a wooden boat and spears in the 1880s. In 1921 excavations began that uncovered most of the boat and a large assemblage of weapons, all deposited in about 350–300 B.C. The practice of depositing weapons, and occasionally boats, in ponds and lakes of northern Europe became relatively common during the latter part of the Roman Iron Age, A.D. 200–500. Among the best-known sites of that period are Illerup, Nydam, Thorsberg, and Vimose. As vegetation grows into and across them over time, ponds and lakes often develop into bogs, where the waterlogged and acidic environment preserves organic materials exceptionally well. Hjortspring is the largest of the pre-Roman Iron Age weapon deposits.
