    Default Screenshots from the New Beta

    Well the beta's here so i thought id give everyone a look at what they could be downloading - this is just a custom battle between Persia and the city state of taras.

    Enjoy the pics whilst you download the beta



























    Rise of persia is a mod which focuses on the magnificent rise to power of the Persian empire. Set in 559 B.C. amongst the war torn middle east and stretching from Greece to India. A tremndous variety of factions and cultures clash amongst the largest set of empires ever gathered in the middle east. The mod will eventually involve several immense and mighty empires grinding away in the center of mesopotamia, but you can still take control of smaller factions such as Athens, Sparta or the Phoenicians. Not forgetting the Kushites south of Egypt or the two Indian factions that will battle it out for control of the east. Rise of persia has a faction to suit everyone's tastes - from hoplites to nomadic horse archers, chariots to elephants and tribal hunters to proto knights.

    They look awesome, mates.

    Just one question, it seems like the Asian infantry are using the spear overhand, when I thought that they used spears underarm

    Most depictions show Persian/eastern infantry with overhand used spears, e.g.:



    Not just the Greek depictions, but also in Eastern art, the overhand spear seems to be the usual method employing the spear.



    According to the Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian reliefs, the coming Babylonian units will also use the spear oberhand.
