dude, its a game not a mod... anymore, if it was a mod, you would be totally justified to claim it dead or almost dead, but its a game and a game takes a lot of time to create, not only that but its an indie game with no official budget, so what i am tring to say is patience it will not die, until mythos or some one else comes here and destroy everthing i just wrote
-
yes, yes they are.
-
ok, perhaps i should have been more thoughtful, but im refering to archeology and such, none the less, your advise has been quite useful and i thank you
-
okay, many of you (all of you) probably dont know me, but i have been in 0ad for quite a while, and i have noticed quite a bulk of historians and presumably arqueologists and so on, so i figured that i might as well ask here even though it seems pretty empty.
the thing is, im 16 and right now i am exactly two years away from uni, this year and the next, and thats it., you see for quite some time i have been undeniably attracted to history, reading books, and watching shows, i consider myself very good at it, although i know theres alot to be learn (which i like), i like general history ranging from after the dorian invasion all the way to the renaissance, and the 2 world wars, but i am particularly intrested in ancient european history (gaul,rome, greece, persia, etc) even though right now in Highschool?? i am not taking anything related to ancient history, except national history (i live in mexico).
Thats pretty much what i want to study, What i want to know is how does it work, you historians and arqueologists? when you get out of college, is it stable?? what do the different branches offer?, is it hard to get a job?? etc, cause you see, its this kind of stuff that sort of turns me off with the idea of studing this, but its what i like and i definetly would want to study this.
Also as you may recall i live in mexico so that, on its own limits me alot already, i am pretty sure that i will have to travel to europe or return to US to study. knowing that, would there be that much of a difference between US and Europe?? especially as an arqueologist??
More than questions, what i am asking for is advise on you guy that have passed throught this already, wether it was similar or not, so i can more or less have an idea of what to do and expect.
I know i might be worring early but still i would prefer to be well informed and educated long before i take that descision. I would very much appreciate the help
please anything you know will help

seriusly names??

are you there yet??

nice but how are you planning on making maps and cities?? im assuming that with the size of armies your doing and the historical accuracy your want to have the cities will in a way be like in Total War am i right?? at least in size, with your 2-d aproach though i doubt map sizes will be much of a problem...
-
Me?? the persians, i was never much of a fan of them, but with your grafic appeal and there great variety of units, they should be a fun gameplay experience, then greeks and then Celts, Romans and finally iberians, i doubt i will use carthaganians.
-
Well theres no Aztecs here so Roman??? maybe iberian... maybe both

oh and i believe it is an elephant that passing througghh the gates

amen to that

given the small disapointment i had when i saw shoguns hellenic warfare article, that given the amount of troops probably available per game i assume it would be better of as an RTS, although a few RTT features would be nice.
in deed it does ''sux''
@#$% you, @#$%, @#$%, @#$%, idiot, moron hmmmm only the last three are visible, guess i will have to settle

no more images??

those d@mn arrows are driving me insane
, but none the less you underestimate the legionaries tough to the bone and their training could be almost as brutal as the war itself (no death, but you get the picture), and on contrare Rome would have it easier too get troops and replacements and the chinese would have a harder time recruiting men, why?? well why was it so stable for such a long time? because they had something to offer to the conquered men, you become a soldier for a certain amount of time and at the end of their service they would be granted Roman citizenship and all its privileges, as for the chinese most of the recruited men from conquered territories where forced, and i doubt they would fight at there fullest assuming they didnt try to abandon.and last but not least remember the quinquereme, i can assume that its a bit easier to replicate crossbows than quinqueremes, i rest my case.

to avoid cussing i guess, i tried that precise word to

dont bet on it maybe later wildfire will hear you out hehe.
i would join the carthaganian military, or possibly go to italy and go legionary

As before, we simply don't know. Kotakk, an author I'm reading in Anthropology, has a map that features countries like Israel, Jordan, and Lebanon as a possible "Hybrid" or "highly interactive" zone between the two groups.
the neanderthalis actualy went that south???
-
shame, i to wanted to be an archeologist but yeah its hard, i wonder if theres any good jobs around that area, ya'know history and archeology, but hey i got 2 and a half years till i go to university sooo...
about the Neandertal hows bout they bieng some kind of nomad, horde style faction, or maybe a like rebel or gaia faction??
-
we'll see, well first off the roman were more disciplined than the chinese infantry of the time, yes the crossbows may cause many casualties but its not like they go through like a 50 cal. the scutum may be able to sustain a few arrows of the crossbow, and dont underestimate roman archer auxila which i remember always acompanied a legion, and finaly although the han had way superior cavalry, well let me put it this way, its probable they try to charge the flanks of the cohorts, im sure the archers would pick off a few, then the legionaries would give them a hard time while the roman cavalry auxila charge and corners the han cavalry, of course this is all assumption.
ROMA VICTOR!!
<---- wow look at them still, like rocks, now thats discipline
