Paal_101 Posted December 9, 2004 Share Posted December 9, 2004 Well here are links to two major archaelogical finds in the last few weeks.One is a recently discovered monument set up by Sulla (Mike calm down! ) to celebrate a victory over a Pontic general in Greece.http://www.ekathimerini.com/4dcgi/_w_artic...8/12/2004_50471Here's the Roman Army Talk forum discussion about it:http://p200.ezboard.com/fromanarmytalkfrm1...icID=1191.topicThe second one is a discovery of a Gallic relgious offering that includes no less than FIVE almost totally intact carnyx - Celtic war trumpets, in addition to 10 swords, and 9 helmets.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...ry_041127195805And again, here is the RAT discussion:http://p200.ezboard.com/fromanarmytalkfrm1...icID=1181.topicEnjoy!

Titus Ultor Posted December 10, 2004 Share Posted December 10, 2004 Certainly an exceptional find...I wonder if there will be anything they can piece together about these barbarian folk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted December 10, 2004 Author Share Posted December 10, 2004 Definatley the Celtic find is getting a lot of people excited. Among the helmets was a type not previously encountered. It has a swan built into the bowl that curves up at the front. Probably ceremonial, but its totally new Don't expect it in 0 A.D. though Plus some Celtic standards were found, and that is way cool.

Titus Ultor Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 (edited) Will the standards be able to be used in 0 A.D.? Anyway, I hope that the reality of the Celtic people isn't lame. I've always liked the roman-ticized version. Edit: Fixed some hastily made spelling errors, Edited December 11, 2004 by Titus Ultor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 At this point there are no plans for standards in Part I, but who knows? Would be nice to have the legions rally around the aquila Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus Ultor Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I don't feel like having my citizen-soldiers having to go back to the ol' farm because their standards got stolen. Though that could be an interesting feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paal_101 Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 LOL no kidding I believe TLA is using standards, although Adam or one of the Tolkien boys would have to confirm that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titus Ultor Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 They could be useful if a morale system was introduced. I don't see much use otherwise. Except in scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
