I would like to ask, what reference source did you guys used in creating this mod? Books, website links and all that. Did you guys rely on non-English source for the book? It seems that there TONS of good books about the antiquity age that has yet to be translated into English.

Books by German Historians? French Historians? Italian Historians?


Additionally, I hope that this thread would be an ideal place for fans of the mod to recommend additional history books to the developers and other fans.

Other than Osprey stuff, and various web resources (primary and secondary), I know Keravnos had access to a lot of Greek history books (similarly for Etaipos). A fair bit of the unit details like armour, helmets and so on come from sites like www.romanarmy.com - they have a great helmet database there. Then there are auctions of archaeological finds. Hopefully others can fill in more detail here.

A website I found to deal with greek words.
I don't know if it is really accurate, but I found it usefull on many occasions.

I'd guess they have kidnapped an ancient wise greek by travelling back in time and then having him in a cage, to give them the information they need to complete the divine modification called "Roma Surrectum 2"

Pretty much anything I could get my hands on.....I've been a 'Romanophile' most of my life. So, extensive Internet research, books, televised archaeological programs, National Geographic, Libraries, etc. My knowledge is admittedly mostly about the Romans, but thankfully, we picked up people along the way with vast knowledge of Greek and Barbarian history.
