Burzum Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 (edited) Tacitus accounts them.It's now widely accepted that onagers started appearing 60-50 BCE.Philo of Byzantium even mentions them in that time frame.Wikipedia now states that too.

Though, definitely not at the time of the Punic Wars, which is what the Part 1 Romans represent. Best to leave the Onager as an editor unit for now and give it to the Imperial Romans for Part 2. Helps differentiate the imperials from the republicans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This spans from 52 BCE onwards.That's the only exception though regards to the onagers in this era. Edited March 2, 2013 by Burzum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion.Kanzen Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) Lion.Kanzen mentioned a onager?Glorious Rome could make anything. But those things in particular we can see progress and tested with tortoise svn and this create a folder with whole game, and you can update when are changes in the trac:http://trac.wildfiregames.com/Onagers, siege towers were very much present in that time.i did mentioned this but nobody comments that, hahaha. i support the idea, with romans siege tower, even carthage had a siege tower.the time frame of roman in part 1 is before marian reform. before jugurtha wars, and "civili bellum" Marius against Sulla.
