TW Guide- The Saxons
Author: Astaroth
Original Thread: TW Guide- The Saxons

This guide is relatively short and sweet. It explains the campaign in detail while not burdening the reader with overly complex tactics or definite historical information, focusing mainly on gameplay. It is an interesting read for both the experienced Barbarian Invasion Player, and the new, inexperienced player. Overall, this piece of work is well-written and has a good amount of explanatory screenshots taken directly from the game. It is also colorful which draws the reader's attention. The article closes with a detailed paragraph of the Saxon Army composition, at the game's time. Kudos to the author!



Cheers,
Legio

The Seven Years' War
Author:Legio XX Valeria Victrix
Original Thread: The Seven Years' War
This historical article brings us to the middle of the 18th century. The Seven Years' War has just started in Northern America between France and Great Britain, but war is not officially declared. The course of events until the start of the war in Europe is given and explained. A very interesting article, which I recommend to all of you to read!

LinuxAuthor: Code_Knight
Original thread: The Linux Thread

An excellent cover of the Linux operating system for personal computers. A full synopsis of Linux, and the Unix kernel system it's based off of, complete with an FAQ section for those who are worried about utilizing multiple OS, or who wonder if they'll have to trade Windows to use Linux. The review also covers several distributions of Linux, as well as a number of desktop environments, and is definitely a must-read for anyone looking to get into this great open-source operating system.

Cannae, August 3, 216 BC. Was Maharbal Correct?
Author: Spartan JKM
Original Thread:Cannae, August 3, 216 BC. Was Maharbal Correct?

This masterfully written piece takes the reader on a profound journey to one of the most famous battles of antiquity- Cannae. Going beyond the conventional train of thought, the author analyzes a quote by Maharbal (which those who play Rome Total War have seen).
"Hannibal knew how to win a victory, but not how to use it."
Spartan JKM goes on an in-depth analysis of the quote, following up with more quotes from reputable sources such as Sir Basil Henry Lidell Hart, Will Durant, and Polybius. He backs up his information with diagrams and battle dispositions from the battles of Trebia, Cannae, and Lake Trasimene.
The verdict: was Maharbal correct in his near-prophetic dialogue after Cannae?
Read this excellent piece and find out!



Cheers, Legio Caesar

Constantinople: The Sack of 1204
Author: Bulgaroctonus
Original Thread: Constantinople: The Sack of 1204

This very interesting historical article takes us to the dawn of the 13th century, when an unexpected event occurred and surprised many: The First Sack of Constantinople was a fact. The author explains us the background, how the Byzantines put themselves in danger, the traitors, the revolts, the events up to the disaster from which the 800 years -then- old Empire would suffer till its very end. The outcome of the Fourth Crusade, which ended in the Sack, is also given. In the end, Bulgaroctonus, the author, makes his personal analysis on the subject. I really enjoyed and learnt from this article, I hope you will too!



Regards,
Romanos IV
