Ykkrosh Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Just something I saw when looking aimlessly around various places; relating to elephants in war:The most frequently told tale concerning pigs as a counter weapon to elephants may be represented by Aelian and Polyaenus: when Antigonas Gonatas was besieging Megara, the Megarians succeeded in routing the besiegers’ elephants by dousing pigs in oil and igniting them and then turning them loose against the elephants.I noticed that 0 A.D. does include elephants and pigs, but unfortunately this important tactic appears to be impossible in the game :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kezz Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Even though this might have happened (allegedly) it would probably generate a lot of bad press from animal rights blokies who don't understand that its not real. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fire Giant Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Also, Rome - Total War will feature this idea (they even have the burning pigs in as some kind of unit), and people would believe we stole it from them, especially due to the fact that nearly every game site mentions the flaming pigs in their previews But I agree, it's a nice find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
