Thanks, Joey. That is one big panorama.

cool!!

Was there even a Battle of Londinium at this time? Especially Romans against Saxons? I thought the Saxons only invaded Britannia after the Romans left the place.

Still a cool shot nonetheless.

you should name it "How the game won't look like"

This. We are past Boudicca. It's an Ok shot, but not that amazing to my jaded eyes.

Also, Aren't they making a bit of a huge deal about the fire now? Chances are you won't set most places aflame because you'll want something left to occupy. How about something with some substance? Y'know gameplay.

i have a feeling the new fire feature will get old fast. I think much like the flaming torches it will be too common and overpowered. Stabbing something with your sword or throwing a javelin in it will somehow set it ablaze. It will make no sense if setting fires isn't optional and just happen overtime you siege a city. Fires were not set every time a city was sieged. Maybe it won't be as common as it seems and they are just focusing on it because it is one of only a few new features in Barbarian Invasion 2.

"Remember, you want to capture the settlement, not destroy it."

Now whatever happened to that?

This is not a Historical Battle just a Battle in Londinium cause EGX was in London.

[Horatio Hornblower]

I like this new expansion but I have to say that saxons colours are too much flashy.
I mean those green and yellow should be darker and "dirty".

[Slor]

Hmm.. this seems just like that one time, at band camp!

[metafish13]

Slor, i'm genuinely interested in where you went to band camp!
On topic, that's all? Was hoping for a new faction reveal. Oh well. The picture is pretty, i guess.

[Hetman Khmelnytsky]

Looks epic...

I remember when the rome2 panorama came out. Shame they do not reflect what the game is like.

Ghost Warriors

wow. Well spotted. A bugged panorama. Guess that's cos it's still way, way pre-alpha.

The Roman Government in Londinium maintained control over Wales, Cornwall, and the area around the Thames until about 440, after which they only had control of the region south of the Thames. It was never sacked, not for decades at least.

Ghost Warriors

These actually existed, but not in the way you imply. A ghost soldier was one listed on the payroll but didn't actually exist so the officers could embezzel money. It was a notorius problem in the Eastern Roman Empire in the 460's and 470's, so bad the Emperor had to past the Edict of Perge (A remarkable set of finds by the way) to deal with it.

It wasn't a problem under strong military leaders like Constantius III or Aetius though.

Yes, I read about this. Russian-speaking people call it "Dead souls" (thanks to N. Gogol and his novel )

It's good to have a historian around, I really like the facts you mention around the forum, thanks for sharing knowledge.

Oh the memories.
