We know they are guilty Klaas!!! Just go over there and bust those dudes You're not afraid of dogs are you? Seriously though, let's hope there isn't a gunfight eh? Do Dutch cops carry guns?

Oh!! Maened cheat code Unlock the power of drunk Greeks of the feminine persuasion. *Leonidas is killed ingame while still laughing* Or give the Persians a Scythian archer who just came out of the smoke tent, where they would throw a plant related to marijuana on the fire and breath deep :P Herodotus has lots of these little tidbits about elicit drug use LOL

LOL I don't feel so bad now I was so busy playin Freespace 2 yesterday I forgot lol Great looking weapons Only thing I would suggest is that the double-headed sagaris not have the spike on the top, that's not Persian. Like I told you David, I'll get you a list of historically accurate materials.

For sure, those maenads would be pretty nasty fighters, didn't they tear one Greek king apart in an ancient play or something when he tried to stop them?

No crazed drunk followers of Bacchus in here They would not fit the Athenians, Spartans, or Macedonians in anyway. But like we said before, there are mods although that one could be end up being unsupported

Klaas, whatever you do don't get in front of that thing

Yeah he was always posting funny albeit crazy posts that with titles that made no sense yet were hilarious

Welcome Michael! Boy, Adam you are getting quite a windfall of new Tolkien lovers now

Lol Praveen (C_T) was hilarious! Always fun, crazy, but in a good way LOL Praveen come back!

I had to write an essay @ 3000 words. Came out at 4800 by the time I was done Plus the first attempt was 6000+ LOL

Or England

Can also include a lot of the random props that will go with each unit i.e. different helmets, shields, armor types, etc

@ Argal - *smack* Plus the Aztec people originated in the 1300s, at least as we know them today: http://home.freeuk.net/elloughton13/history1.htm They came from northwest Mexico, but their familiar culture developed during the European Middles Ages.

Besides the Aztecs weren't around during the European Dark Ages LOL

That means the unit will change in appearance with each new rank, i.e. Greek hoplite will get progressively higher quality armor (of different types) as he progress through the ranks.

Anything is possible in modding land!

Oh yeah!! Thanks Curu! Mike will be glad to see his art come to life yet again Amazing job on that!

Oh Epicureanism That one is a bit different, but its not Cynicism My favorite is philosopher is Epictecus (sp?). Stoicism, along with Aristotle, makes the most sense to me.

That was Archimedes Argal Sweet Titus! I liked Aristotle way better than Plato myself, but Polybius, Arrian, and Plutarch whooped those philosopher dudes

Ah don't worry about the "historian" title, its kinda a farce anyway Its just the best word for the job. What history courses are you taking? I just finished an ancient Greek course. I'm all Plato'd out now

I getcha. Didn't know we had screwed everyone else up LOL But history articles are history articles, so as long as you are not directly ripping from us I have no prob. What other article ideas did you have?

Yes that is how we are working the game. For instance the Persians will be able to recruit many, many troops at low cost. And each one of the civs will have special costs that fit with their culture. To answer your question: Roman armies during the Second Punic War could be up to 10% cavalry. And those would only be middle-upper class citizens and allies, so they'll cost a good penny.
