greenknight32 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 Oh, a laptop - can't upgrade that. Have you ever considered getting a desktop?Not entirely true, depends on the laptop. I got a refurbished Lenovo Thinkpad T400, you can easily upgrade the RAM and the HD on them. Can't upgrade the graphics, though, but it runs this game very well (GMA 4500 chipset). Used Thinkpads are pretty cheap, businesses use them by the millions and get rid of them after 2 or 3 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A laptops you can add more ram and a bigger hard drive yes but thats it. and if you put money in a laptop and your videocard or cpu dies you wasted alot of money and pc is always cheaper too maintain.

WhiteTreePaladin Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 It's mainly the graphics you can't update. There are exceptions where you can update the graphics, but those are so rare they are not really worth considering. In some laptops, you can't even upgrade the ram or hard drive anymore.

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 3, 2015 Report Share Posted April 3, 2015 A big problem with the development of some factions is design a marvel even we tend think about a marvel will be a great big building like Pyramid , a Colosseum a big statue from one of their gods, but I found an article that can make to think different HUNS AND THEIR OTHER HISTORICAL GODdarn STUFF MAYNWONDER: A Destroyed Roman Triumphal Arch (the Arch of Constantine)The Huns didn't leave much of a legacy behind. So their Wonder is just a Roman Triumphal Arch (one that looks particularly like the Arch of Constantine) that's been wrecked and damaged while the Huns' loot is piled around it. Makes alot of sense, actually, since their legacy was that of destruction, particularly in the Roman Empire.a Marvel can be a Legacy , like Archeological ( today) Tomb , a Legacy.

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 27, 2016 Report Share Posted April 27, 2016 Earlier myths include traditions that Pythia, or the Delphic oracle, already was the site of an important oracle in the pre-classical Greek world (as early as 1400 BCE) and, rededicated from about 800 BCE, when it served as the major site during classical times for the worship of the god Apollo. Apollo was said to have slain Python, a "drako" a serpent or a dragon who lived there and protected the navel of the Earth.[3] "Python" (derived from the verb πύθω (pythō),[4] "to rot") is claimed by some to be the original name of the site in recognition of Python which Apollo defeated.[5] The Homeric Hymn to Delphic Apollo recalled that the ancient name of this site had been Krisa.[6] Others relate that it was named Pytho and that Pythia, the priestess serving as the oracle, was chosen from their ranks by a group of priestesses who officiated at the temple.

Lion.Kanzen Posted October 26, 2018 Report Share Posted October 26, 2018 Quote Odeum, (Latin: “concert hall,” from Greek ōideion, “school of music”), comparatively small theatre of ancient Greece and Rome, in which musicians and orators performed and competed. It has been suggested that these theatres were originated because early Greek musical instruments could not be heard in the vast open amphitheatres in which dramatic performances were held. According to the Greek biographer Plutarch, of the 1st and 2nd century ad, the first odeum was built at Athens by the statesman Pericles about 435 bc. Adjacent to the Theatre of Dionysus, it was used for rehearsals. It differed from later odeums in its square shape and pointed roof. The Roman architectural historian Vitruvius, of the 1st century bc, states that it was burned during the Mithradatic wars of the 1st century bc. In ad 161 Herodes Atticus, a Greek scholar and philanthropist, built a new odeum at the base of the Acropolis, in memory of his wife, Regilla. In plan it was much like the semicircular Theatre of Dionysus, to which it was connected by an arcade. With 33 rows of seats, it accommodated approximately 6,000 spectators. It probably had a roof over the playing area. Largely rebuilt, it is still in use. Another odeum was built at Corinth, also by Herodes Atticus. Odeums were also constructed in most cities of the Roman Empire for use as assembly halls as well as for performances and contests. Quote Trajans Market, Rome The complex was built at one end of Trajan’s Forum and includes buildings that had a number of different functions, predominantly commercial. Constructed on three different levels into the terraced hillside behind, access to the various parts was provided via connecting staircases. The ground level shallow alcoves opened onto a street and were used for small shops whilst there were more shops in the arcades above. The ground level alcoves are of uneven depth due to the fact that they were constructed following the bedrock of the hill. Originally, they would have all been framed with travertine, extending their capacity for displaying goods. One alcove (5th from the left) has been restored to illustrate the original look and also has the typical window above the lintel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion.Kanzen Posted January 2, 2019 Report Share Posted January 2, 2019 52 minutes ago, Anaxandridas ho Skandiates said: The mouseion and great library, although not on any of the "official" lists, was beyond doubt the greatest of them all: It was the very heart of the scientific and scholarly revolution, that brought us the modern world. Hellenistic minds of genius hailed from all over the Greek world, but their knowledge was collected and unified at Alexandria, it was the greatest achievement of the ancient world. Which still begs the irritating question: We cannot really know exactly how it looked, but should we use the extant descriptions and sort of create it anyway, "Great library"? in your opinion, how the great library looks like?

Lion.Kanzen Posted April 12, 2019 Report Share Posted April 12, 2019 Quote Naqsh-e Rustam is the necropolis of the Achaemenid dynasty (c. 550–330 BC), with four large tombs cut high into the cliff face. These have mainly architectural decoration, but the facades include large panels over the doorways, each very similar in content, with figures of the king being invested by a god, above a zone with rows of smaller figures bearing tribute, with soldiers and officials. The three classes of figures are sharply differentiated in size. The entrance to each tomb is at the center of each cross, which opens onto a small chamber, where the king lay in a sarcophagus.[1] Well below the Achaemenid tombs, near ground level, are rock reliefs with large figures of Sassanian kings, some meeting gods, others in combat. The most famous shows the Sassanian king Shapur I on horseback, with the Roman Emperor Valerian bowing to him in submission, and Philip the Arab (an earlier emperor who paid Shapur tribute) holding Shapur's horse, while the dead Emperor Gordian III, killed in battle, lies beneath it (other identifications have been suggested). This commemorates the Battle of Edessa in 260 AD, when Valerian became the only Roman Emperor who was captured as a prisoner of war, a lasting humiliation for the Romans. The placing of these reliefs clearly suggests the Sassanid intention to link themselves with the glories of the earlier Achaemenid Empire.
