Well, another article is up, called "Soldiers of Bronze - Hellenistic Arms and Armor" by your's truely. It can be found in the Hellenes section of the history section of the main 0 AD site. Here's a link: http://wildfiregames.com/0ad/viewtopic.php?t=118 And PLEASE don't tell how much my muscled cuirass stinks LOL There is still a bit of work to be done on it, namely bolding dates and italicizing funny words. But there it is Enjoy! Next it is on to an article called "Blades of the Shah-an-Shah"......

ETH Poll #5 - Fears And Phobias
Paal_101 replied to ElfTheHunter's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
I voted heights because I have reasons for all of the other ones: Death - I'm a Christian, so that's the gateway to a new life Disease/Pain - see above, its part of the trip Darkness - same things that are in the light are there in the dark, plus just eat lots of carrots Closed Spaces- there is always a way out.... Animals/Creatures - My family has 2 dogs, 2 cats, and something like 12 fish, plus I've raised chickens and looked after neighbor's pigs, chickens, turkey's, cows, and horses in the past. Plus I've had close encounters with bears and moose. Flying - my dad owns an airplane and I've loved flying for as long as I can remember.... Crime/Violence - I study karate (wouldn't mind trying it out ) and see "Death" Social Situations - I really don't give a fig what people think of me, if you don't like it, too bad for you! Loved Ones Dying - see "Death" I chose Height because its the one on the list that I like the least, but its better now (worked on a guys house on a scaffold for 2 weeks this fall) Now one thing I really hate is FIRE! I don't know why, its so volatile, I think that's what I don't...Plus I've had to fight at least 3 fire situations, so that colors my vision! LOL -

Ancient Egyptians On Tlc!
Paal_101 replied to Paal_101's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
It seemed to be a mixture of footage and CGI, but the CGI is so good it was very hard to tell who was real and who wasn't. The vistas that could be seen were really something, IMHO -
Did anyone watch Ancient Egyptians on TLC last night (Monday) and Sunday? The first episode on the Battle of Megiddo was MINDBLOWNG!!!! When they had the armies lined up against eachother I was totally convinced I was there, plus when the Egyptians and Syrians charged at eachother with that huge panoramic aerial view of the battlefield I started wondering "This is a documentary and not LoTR?!" It has to be the best battle recreation I have seen outside of the cinema, just thousands of guys in several shots. The reenacting for all of the episodes was just superb, the best I have ever seen! If it comes on again and you missed it, watch it, you'll be blown away! What did you guys think?

What Was The Most Recent Compliment That You..
Paal_101 replied to knuckles's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
There may have been another one, but the last one I remember getting "Thanks for supper Paul" from my family last night But I'm pretty sure there were others after that. -
Besides 0 AD I would love to make the exact same thing, except a 3rd Person Swordsman, sort of like LoTR: TTT VG. That would be awesome going up against Celts and Macedonians as a legionnaire!
-
For me it would be Warrior Challenge, the Roman episode where they got all dressed up in lorica segmentata, swung gladii, and marched in formation How much more fun can you get???!!! What about you guys? *prays not Temptation Island*

The Last Samurai...
Paal_101 replied to Mythos_Ruler's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
MUST SEE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!! -
Thanks guys @Fire Giant - that is one of my planned articles, ranks, organization, stuff like that. Never fear, in time the rank article should be completed I will probably be updating the article as well. For instance I might do the Intercisa and Agen helmets (maybe) in future, and possibly lamellar armor as well. But atm this all conjectural, have Greeks to do

What Is Your Favorite Type Of Movie?
Paal_101 replied to chichigrande's topic in Introductions & Off-Topic Discussion
Action movies all the way, but my definition of action is any movies with fights: LoTR Gladiator Rush Hour Henry V Matrix Top Gun 007 M:I2 And these movies cover a broad range of films So I like many things, but it must have fights -
Thanks Klaas I'm glad you like it. No idea about the font, I scaled it on my comp and it turned out how I wanted. I don't know if what I think looks good is not to others, or if its has something to do with display or something. You have a screenshot?

My latest article, titled "Roman Iron - Equipment of the Legions" is up on the 0 AD site. It has info on some of the many different pieces of military equipment that the Romans used, including dates, data, and pictures. My plan is to complete a series of similar articles on all the civs in 0 AD Hope you like it!
