Is there really a good enough reason to enter into personal accusation of being a liar/poorly informed etc.? Can we please try and keep this discussion on a more sober basis please. Lets not overheat the discussion - there is more important things in life that deserve that level of excitement.

@wowgetoffyourcellphoneThanks so much! great game - it works nicely and is indeed another level of gameplay. (Just does not work with the SVN version yet as it seems.) Edit: and it has beautiful new maps as well!

No, I am not suggesting Asterix. (sorry could not resist)

Wow! Looking forward to it!!!!

.. or a territory victory - expand your realm to a certaion percentage of the map. BTW. resources are not endless (except food) but you can barter at any time to gain more that what is available oin the map.

Whatsoever - this is a GREAT achievement! Thank you so much to all the contributors and developers!!!!! Certainly , no software is perfect and there will be always observations and issues. Doing your best to provide a consolidated release is a huge endeavour. We as players are extremely grateful!

I love your academic exchange!!!

Frankly, I actually do enjoy the quest two of you are into as your both try using arguments and evidence as far as possible instead of entering into personal attack mode (which is too often the case today). Your examples and references - although not conclusive for me - are providing new insights and background in any case. To me as a complete ignoramus in this subject (except for being a native German speaker), it is of course impossible to decide for clear right or clear wrong. Maybe it is not possible at all as Germanic tribes of that time might have been quite diverse? Should we try finding a more generic solution that could be good enoughfor players to grasp the spirit? Three words describing three phases (knowing that some tribes of that time did not (yet) develop cities as you wrote). Afer all this is a simplified game.

Sounds inteersting - we might also consider that - if you stop paying your mercs - they may turn hostile against you, join your adversary or at least revert to gaia "raiders"? The bribery mechanics could also be used to convert mercs to the other side. Not sure if this turns out to be too complex micro-managing for gameplay.

could this be a motivation to showing garrisonned troops on the upper deck? (symbolically- not true numbers)

Still, it is phantastic with all this atmosphere!

Sorry, I just have to express it: I am loving it!

Phantastic! Absolutely stunning!!!! My mild, but undue criticism, as - you know - I am a beancounter, few little details like : - the arrow might better be placed on bowstring and I also would have thought the arrow has to go along the gripping hand on the bow, not across it : - the face and helmet seem not to match the illumination, looks a bit like "photoshopped". The right hand looks strange, both hands larger than feet. -

Superb! The old ones were already great but this is even better!

@Duileoga unfortunately, I can only give you and the team only one like, but you would deserve many!
