Roma Surrectum 2.0: Cimbri Faction Preview

[ChrisJoker]

Not sure what you mean here, but if you are referring to BI's hordes... then no.

Here is a link to some interesting reading;

and

Some tend to think that when the Cimbri, in their ill-fated battle against Marius, chained themselves together in the front ranks, was a horde. It was a disasterous decision, when two or more men fell, the rest were weighed down and like sitting ducks.

Icant even come close to bring good stuff like that great informatin

Unless he means horde formation (like a random formation)

yeah i think so since they were barbarians the need for a lose formation was needed if they fought like kelts that wielded long swords that needed space so they can swing their swords for a strong attack that could break the enemies shield or the dude himself

[Ballacraine]

I can see the need to define it for the purposes of depicting it in a game.
That said, surely a horde isn't so much a military formation?
Its more of a gigantic angry mob..........armed to the teeth.....with each trying to goad his neighbour & himself into a frenzy, prior to unleashing all that fury on the enemy?

Intimidating, but not organised.

The chain idea?.......Not very bright really!

[Nolthra]

Absolutely stunning. I believe I could forsake my Greek/Parthian subjects to lead such fine warriors. Awesome work as always!

[Fubar2k5]

They look so nice. Excellent preview!

[frankus]

very good preview! I liked the idea of the music +Rep

just one question: why is the bear warrior wearing a wooden club? I couldn't find a picture of Scene thirty-six of Trajan’s Column is it showed there?

EDIT: I could swear you guys did something to the horses.. they look so vast and 3D, or is that just because the rest is that good

If im correct its because like kelt having long swords and wielding them in battle u need some space if the group is to close they cant use their long swords to their full potential with swinging that sword steong enough they could cut off a mans arm or the shield that protects them thats why they were feroucious and a problem to the romans science the first met each other as enemies.

There's pictures of irregular Germanic auxiliaries armed with clubs on Trajan's column. I can't remember whether the bear warriors are amongst these or not. At the moment I can't find the image but will try and do so.

I think the horses look big just because of the angles of the shots.

dont flater yourself

[Thorn777]

Love the previeuw, excellent work once more.

I have a question though: Will the Cimbri be the only German faction? There are three Celtic ones and I believe 4 steppe ones, so I really think the grim slayers of Rome deserve at least one other.

Sorry for being like that(points to sig).

Yeah, what about the Sweboz?

[ChrisJoker]

Yeah, what about the Sweboz?

yeah to me they should only have the honour of being the true geranic faction( do the cimbri is super cool) since they were made up of germans
