  1. Because what is described in Herodotus doesn't necessarily apply for the 3rd century BC at the time of the Seleucid empire. EB2 is strict about the material of the time period.
  2. This is why I suggested something more neutral here, trying to find a compromise. I don't think the point is to pick a side, the point is voicing our opinion against a war that can lead to an escalation. Yeah I agree. The current state of the poll is messy.
  3. Not talking about this is also a position. See the comments: https://www.facebook.com/play0ad/posts/10160029806559859
  4. Lol. Good luck being convincing here with this attitude.
  5. You have entirely misunderstood his point and why I sent you this video. You mentioned the Russian community in Ukraine and their relatives the Ukrainians, I have specifically quoted this part from your message. The speech from the Kenyan ambassador specifically deals with this idea of ethnic unity. I think you are underestimating what's going on and you are thinking it is only a matter of skin color. It is not. If it was China invading Taiwan, it would have been the same worldwide reaction.
  6. збере́ження (zberéžennja) or preservation/conservation/saving/safeguarding, it can be used in different context. Otherwise there is Mykola Zerov, a writer and poet. http://www.encyclopediao@#$%raine.com/display.asp?linkpath=pages\Z\E\ZerovMykola.htm Edit: the other alternative is making an official statement instead of naming the alpha.
  7. Zelensky is jewish in case you didn't know. He lost family members during the Holocaust. Under his government, Ukraine passed a law punishing antisemitism. The problem of neo-nazi soldiers is limited to the Azov regimen which is complex because it initially involved a private paramilitary structure. Its integration into the military isn't due to Zelensky. Maybe you are not used to this, but a president didn't have all power and authority on its people and Zelensky cannot dissolves a regimen by snapping its fingers. But honestly this bullshit about neo-nazi is silly, it is a minority even among members of the Azov regimen. I don't think there is more nazi among Ukrainian army than there is among Russian one.
  8. You would prefer Zarubintsy just to be in 0AD's time period?
  9. It is. Not because the Europeans worth more than any other human beings but simply because this is the place where superpowers could potentially start a fight that even someone at the other side of the Earth doesn't want to see. Do not underestimate what's going on.
  10. In this case it is to support a nation being attacked by another and showing a pacific form of protestation as did thousands of sport federations, sportsmen/athletes, companies etc. Fair point. Zelensky is more often on the moderate side, he tried to make compromises with the separatists, even up to grant autonomy to the Donbass. I don't see him ordering such things but who knows the future. Maybe a word in Ukrainian or a historical reference from Ukrainian history ?

  12. @TKogumelos This profile on facebook contains great stuff: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100006067278243 It's Benjamín Collado Hinarejos Edit: in addition, a nice document 197247844_Armamentoibricoslide.pdf
  13. https://www.moddb.com/mods/battle-for-middle-earth-2-hd-edition https://www.reddit.com/r/Bfme2/ It's amazing how much the LOTR community is active in modding
  14. The dao is a thick one edged sabre. The jian is a double-edged sword. Two-handed Jian is fine, if you want to go for a chinese label, zhanmajian is correct too.
  15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zhanmadao https://wikihmong.com/en/Chinese_swords#Han_dynasty_(206_BC–220_AD) https://greatmingmilitary.blogspot.com/2015/04/zhan-ma-dao.html For an Imperial guard or an executioner ? Or for a special cavalry?
  16. http://thomaschen.freewebspace.com/photo.html It seems to have existed during the early part of the Han dynasty
  17. I think they practiced cremation as burials.
  18. I wonder if artillery projectile could be ok for fortresses or wall towers
  19. Strabo. "At any rate, the Lusitanians, it is said, are given to laying ambush, given to spying out, are quick, nimble, and good at deploying troops. They have a small shield two feet in diameter, concave p73 in front, and suspended from the shoulder by means of thongs (for it has neither arm-rings nor handles). Besides these shields they have a dirk or a butcher's-knife. Most of them wear linen cuirasses; a few wear chain-wrought cuirasses and helmets with three crests, but the rest wear helmets made of sinews. The foot-soldiers wear greaves also, and each soldier has several javelins; and some also make use of spears, and the spears have bronze heads. "
