Ain't that the @#$%ing truth.

True, for the men. I was thinking it was a good reference more for the elephant actually.

I wish we had a spawning feature. We could do something interesting with the military colony concept (perhaps they spawn free settler infantry or something).

I'm not accusing you of saying anything. Maybe then, we call the citizen soldier pikeman something else. Phalangites Makedonoios, perhaps.

Okay, so from a gameplay standpoint it would be problematic to have 2 pike champions and no citizen soldier pikeman. Thoughts?

So, this indicates the Silver Shields should be the standard pikeman, while the Bronze shields (more prestigious) should be the champion?

Mild misinterpretation^ 20,000 "Macedonians" = 10,000 Golden Shields 5,000 Bronze Shields 5,000 Silver Shields

Was thinking the Carthaginian hero Hannibal could use a makeover. Maybe something like this: Any thoughts?

"Argyraspides" indicates "Silver Shield." One might wonder why these guys don't have silver shields. There's no indication what this corps of men was actually called, so something more descriptive like "Romanized Swordsman," is just as good as anything else.

I don't think it should change vision at all. And good luck finding a better technology name.

I meant that particular gorgon design is from pottery if I'm not mistaken.

Ironically enough, the modeler for the Hanging Gardens was working on replacing it with the Gate of All Nations. lol @Enrique

I adjust the settings on a per program basis. The NVIDIA control panel has this option. Make sure you are adjusting the right program.

Nice. We have the same generation, yours just slightly better. It's obviously my graphics card settings then. I have AA and AF turned on.

Perhaps my graphics card is extra better than yours.

Thing is, you don't learn anything about the Gauls by building Stonehenge.

Can you duplicate the problem? Do you remember what you did?

I'd vote for Palace at Pella. It's 100% Macedonian and not peripheral. Similar to why we want to take the Hanging Gardens from the Persians and give them something more Achaemenid (my vote here is for the Gate of All Nations). I'd love for the core game to ship with a bunch of famous ancient buildings, even if they aren't factional wonders. Altar of Pergamon would be awesome to have. Could even eventually have a "Capture the Wonder" game mode that includes these extra wonders in the game.

In Delenda Est, "Loopholes" adds attack range, while "Murder Holes" removes the minimum attack range (same as base game). I think Loopholes sounds better than "Arrow Shooters" which is pretty ambiguous.

Pergamenes would be a nice one, totally. Pergamene Pikeman Thureophoros (heavy skirmisher) Galatian Swordsman (merc) Galatian Horseman (merc) Tarantine Cavalry Attalid Royal Cavalry (champ lancer) Pergamene Thorakite (champ heavy swordsman) Hemiolia Trihemiolia Tetreres (quadrireme) Wonder: Pergamon Altar

Tab key enables and disables this.

So, what's the problem again? I'm not understanding what the problem is. The in-game Leonidas is on the left, with the (probably) accurate transverse crest. The only problem with the portrait is that he needs some salt in his beard. The fun '300' style Leonidas is on the right. The one on the right could use a custom texture that makes the crest black like in the film, but other than that it works just fine. The '300' Leonidas portrait does suck though, lol. But if one or the other is remade, then it would probably be good to just remake the other too.
