I'm happy you enjoyed it. :)

Part VI

221 – Cilician pirates are on the loose! A Roman treasure fleet is captured, and all the year’s tribute is lost. This might have been a cause for concern if Seleucus wasn’t already...

Part V

237 – The people of Rome are bored, so Seleucus gives them a gladiator show. Flaminius defeats his opponent, Marius, and the crowds cheer. That is to be the last public act of Flavius...

Part IV

246 – Ship-building and retraining. A Syrian marauding army appears in Syria.

245 – More of the same

244 – Promotion to general. A Cilician marauding army appears off the coast of...

Part III

257 – I Italica and I Germanica are stationed in Italy for better defence of the peninsula. II Italica is in Gaul, where Seleucus Olympicus, newly appointed legatus, decided to construct...

Part II

271 – II Italica invades Gaul.

Having just noticed that the old .com TW forum no longer exists, I thought I'd repost one of my AARs from there, to keep it preserved somewhere on the internet. You don't get to see a lot of...

Thank you for your kind comments. :)

I hadn't checked up on this forum in over a year... Sure thing, stadnichenko, you can use anything you want! The same goes for anyone else interested.

This is blatant necroposting, and I don't think anyone will be interested in it (if anyone ever was), but I had promised to post the source of my vague recollection of Arcadian women defeating the...

Happy new year!

I think you have it backwards. The symbol with the one point up and the two points down has an obvious humanistic symbolism (see the famous drawing by Leonardo da Vinci), while the reverse has a...

+1 from Greece. I've been playing M2TW recently but certain major bugs that won't be fixed until late February have dimmed my enthusiasm about it. Long live the hegemony of Hegemonia!

What about the Elians? There has to be an independant unit for Elis and Olympia.

Magnificent! (the preview, not the discussion over the release date)
I'm glad I picked Argos as my first choice for when this 'game' is released.

To be even more correct, the revolution started a few days earlier (prematurely), but the ‘official’ date became March 25th (as was originally planned) for various mystical reasons (Annunciation of...

I didn’t mean to stir up panic by implying that you should be modding a game that hasn’t been released yet, but I am nonetheless amused by the concept. :)
I spent the last half hour skimming...

As far as unique Arcadian units are concerned, I seem to remember reading in Pausanias’ ‘Arcadica’ (or was it Diodorus Sicelus?) that some Arcadians had formed special units of female hoplites that...

That’s been bugging me also, for longer than I can remember (which in this case is several months). It makes some sense that a conquering culture would continue to improve on local temples to appease...

And about Pericles, besides being a political leader he was also a general (as was the custom for political leaders in those times), and led several military expeditions in his time. He was...

I was planning on playing a campaign as Carthage, but in the end I just couldn’t resist giving the Greek Cities another go. The sub-faction implementation is brilliant! Right now I’m treating the...

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dreadlocks, sometimes called simply dreads or locks, are matted ropes of hair which will form by themselves if the hair is allowed to grow naturally without...

Yeah, it's probably the angle and the resolution (it looked like the back of the hand at first). My mistake.

I'm in agreement with the previous posters. This is great stuff.
Just one thing, though:
The Thracian general seems to be holding his sword backwards (like a dagger, or a hoplite spear). Is this...

Simply beautiful. I'd download this mod just to stare at those hoplites.
The 'art of war' takes on a whole new meaning...

I hope you really have permission from the 'turtle dudes'. :ermm:

I wouldn't want to be chased down by a pack of angry mutant ninza turtles over copyright infringement...
:sign_wtf:

I played around with version 3.6 a bit, and here’s what I’ve found so far:

In custom game:

1) The short descriptions for Roman slingers have some strange characters within them – you’ll spot...

This is getting a bit silly. Zhuge_Liang is obviously just trying to help, although his stance on possible copyright infringements with the Hegemonia banner may be ultimately overcautious (as has...

I seem to recall a Spartan statuette that looks exactly like that. The Hegemonia banner may have been originally, and temporarily, based on that book cover, before Lupus drew his own version (I'm...

Wow.

I can't shake off the ironic feeling that this mod has become more 'Greek' than anyone originally anticipated (i.e. ideally democratic, but actually prone to tyranny and civil wars)....

Hey! Congratulations on the sub-forum!
It’s nice to see the XGM is continuing to flourish. I haven’t played RTW for over a month now (not enough free time) but when I get back to it this will be the...

There are strong rumors of an RTW official expansion dealing with Alexander's campaign:

From what I've read in that...

The archontopouloi was a 2000 man strong cavalry force created by Alexius I in the 1080s out of the orphan sons of Byzantine officers who had fallen in the disastrous battles of the previous decade...

Hi. It’s so exhilarating to see a thread on the pronunciation of ancient Greek that has not turned into a pseudo-academic blood-bath between educated philologists and over-skeptical modern Greeks.
...

Argos. I wanna play a Peloponnesean faction, and I've already seen a lot of the Corinthians and Spartans in their faction previews, so the Argives are more tantalizing (at present).

Another excellent preview! Keep up the good work. :thumbsup:
Same goes for Croton.

Nice. I was hoping that my maps of Macedonia in the 'images' thread would help towards a more accurate shoreline, but I won't complain. I just hope it's finished soon.

I think he's asking whether there will be Olympic Games in Hegemonia, like in EB, where family members have a propability of contesting if they are not taking part in a campaign, and then acquire...

Amazing! These units are simultaneously exotic in their historical haziness, suggestive of the future Hellenic style of war, and reminiscent of half-forgotten ancestral ways (plus the levies kinda...

Speaking of which, I just saw an announcement at the RTW...
