1000+ things I learned from Rome: Total War
Since there have been threads like this on other topics (like Medieval II) I decided that Rome should have its own. This is a thread where people may post comedic or serious replies on the subject of things they learned from RTW (including BI and Alexander), and please keep them numbered.
Thank you very much.
1. The Res Publica Romana was a confederacy that consisted of 4 factions.

6. A faction with a great army composition would always be destroyed in a couple of years.
7. The Praetorian Guard was not the crčme de la crčme of Roman infantry units - Roman firefighters had
8. All settlements of a certain size (i.e.: large city) all look a like no matter where they are located.
9. The idea that Greeks ruled Egypt during the time RTW takes place is a myth native Egyptians still ruled the country.

17. Controlling the colossus on Rhodes acually increased trade profit by 40%

22. The Scipii family hated all other Romans because they were forced to wear blue.
23. In what was calculated to be a perfect rectangle around the world, there was an invisible line which no man could cross, or see anything past. It was just a black space as far as the eye could see. A mystic in Seleucia deemed that they would await the arrival of the mystic and feared 'Expansionis Packus' to lead them over this line, but the coming of this hero never came.
24. The Roman Republic fell around 220 BC after a bloody civil war between the aforementioned four Roman factions and became the Roman Empire.

37. noble children are always same-looking

58. Siege engineers were the strongest men ever, they were able to move up 2 tonne cataults with 3 men onto a hill
59. A unit that was ordered to hold its position rather died than turned arround when attacked from behind
60. Parthians liked the color pink
61. Successor military training for phalangites included daily masterbation to build up the muscles of their right hand. This enabled them to hold their 18 foot pikes with a single-handed grip 6 inches from the end. It also coincidentally enabled them to live up to the name Megas Phalangite (in Latin that is "Manus Maximus", and in English it is "Russell Crowe").
62. Carthaginians can only use bow/arrows if they're standing on top of an elephant.
63. Generals don't have to say much to inspire their troops. In fact, telling the troops they're about to die will usually be greeted with thunderous applause.

79. The word 'alliance' has shifted since antiquity, as it used to be a declaration of war if you shared a border with the country that offered it within 6 months.
80. There are not many well known generals from the era as most never survived their first battle. It was the height of bad form if they didn't charge straight into the front of the strongest phalanx they could see.
81. There's only one city in every province/region.
82. The Marian reforms depended on you building a Imperial Palace
83. The Britons could hold 100s of heads around their waist.

87. The Seleucid Empire must not have had a very large empire at all, the history books are wrong!

89. Apparently, there was a Roman of the Julii family, who had my exact username! (Get the reference? It's the guy who usually becomes the next Julii Emperor/Imperator)
90. The famous lorica segmentata armour was actually invented in the late 200s B.C., not the early A.D.s according to popular belief.
91. All Parthians, even the humble townspeople or farmers, seem very fond of the colour pink.
92. Germanic warbands could form the Macedonian phalanx formation, the only others beside the Hellenic people, to do this, were the Celtic Gauls.
93. I learned that ancient wonders and temples had magical qualities to them.
94. I learned that the Parthian kingdom had a settlement to the far north of the Caspian Sea, I thought only Scythians occupied that area.
95. I learned that there were....Lesbian...rebels in the city of Pergamum. It turns out that most of these rebels are actually men.
96. Scythian Head Hunting Maidens were tarty little scrubbers, who could not wait to get their hands on opposing armies, this was because Scythian men used to fire arrows at anything that moved and then gallop away, The more desperate Scythian woman tried to counter this by forming the Scythian Noble women who tried to get their man by shooting him in the leg, unfortunatly they were not very good shots and the Scythian race almost died out. The few survivors went to Canada and formed the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
97. Eurpeon nations somhow imployed Australians to advise there armies in battle.
98. Despite being able to dominate every surrounding countrywith 10 horse archers, the Parthians insist on converting their entire population to pink pajama wearing panzies who are shamed by peasants.
99. Soldiers loved overly arrogant commanders. Veterans who had seen their friends die for some incompetent commanders political career ate up all this talk of bravery from generals with "cowardly" and "clean hands" traits.

102. German screeching women actually screeched "All you do all day is sit in front of the phallanx drinking beer" or "No you can't go out berserking until youv'e done the washing up" and in case of dire emergency "Come here big boy mumma needs some lovin". This latter screech was particularily successful against the Gaul and Roman armies causing a near instant rout.
However it all went horribly wrong when one day they happened to meet the Scythians (who were on the above mentioned migration to Canada) Unfortunatly the Scythians had forgotten about the terror that a womans screech can cause in a grown man and mistaking them for some weird form of wild donkey, simply shot them and galloped around a field for half an hour in a circle
103. Urban Cohorts were actually soldiers, and not just soldiers; but the best fighters in the world, and could beat everything, anywere.

112. I've learned that instead of the fierce hatred of Romans against monarchy, they built Imperial palaces for their governors.
113. I've learned that Romans detested Gauls, Britons etc because they "are hairy beyond reason!".
114. I've learned that Roman commanders motivated their men to fight by promising them that "the women of the enemies's camp will be suitably... appreciative, too... Oh yeah!"

117. When forming the Testudo, the brave centurions always walked behind the formation.
118. The Greeks never worshipeed a godess Athena, or Zeus they only worshiped Nike.

124. No one ever bleeds on the battlefield, even when they have been cleaved,maimed,hacked or stabbed by a weapon.
125.all soldiers had pointy legs
126.urban cohorts were the mitiest soldiers ever seen in rome.
127. The Arcani were an elite unit of Ninjas who destroyed all other units
128. The ROmans used dogs to defeat enemy armies.
129. Despite having the BEST archers in the game, ample light cavalry and all the immediate foes wearing no amour untill much later, Gaul never thought of having mounted archers...
How different it could have been.
130. If you train with the best for a year, you will be able to hide anywhere, in any terrain, with no cover, wearing black with fringes of your factions colour. And no one will ever know that Arcani stands for Ninja in latin.
131. Slaughtering the previous occupants of a city makes them love you. Or at least pretend to love you, though they never stab you in the back when you leave, days later.
132. Gaul was everybodys *****. Even Spain.
133. I have learnt that there was a mercenary general caller cheatingus gittus who was a military genius and was able to set his army up so that it was impossible to flank them by sitting in the corner of a field, on the top of a mountain or at the end of a bridge, this man was able to convince gullible enemies to attack him across the bridge by telling them that art and elephants were against the rules of war, whilst having the artillery and elephants himself, in some cases he even managed to convince more gullible enemies that swords, spears and shouting loudly were against the rules of war
134. Soldiers didn't age.
135. I have learnt that instead of joining the male Scythian migration to Canada, the head hunting maidens instead ended up in Brittannia where they met some very nice young men from the Hurlers tribe who at this stage were only at the boiled egg hurling stage
This ended up in several marriages (after the maidens had worked their way through the druids and the naked fanatics) and they settled down to a blissful marriage with the maidens out head hunting all day and returning with their bounty so that their men folk could go down the tavern in the evening, bombing a few peasants on their way home
136. naked fanatics, the men who became famous for their courage of fighting naked, actually wore a skirt.
137. The Clone Wars didnt happen long time ago in a galaxay far away, they happened between 2270 and 2000 ago here on earth.
138. When allies would help you in battle and they appeared on the other side of the city, they would run alongside the wall defences to charge into the city without any battle planning.
139. In the event allies actually took the city and you just stood outside, you kindly shook their hand and gave thanks before claiming the city as your own.
140. that assassins clubed people to death
141. You can create great Mods based on RTW
144. Despite popular belief, of you enlisted in the Roman army, you weren't in it for 25 years. You were in for life, which in some cases was roughly 300 years...
145. A horse running at full speed down a steep slope, over hundreds of bodies probably covered in their own slippery blood, would never just fall over. They bever tripped over corpses or anything.
146. No matter how many ports you blockade, no matter how much trade you disrupt and no matter how much devastation you cause, the AI will never never run our of money.
146. If your generals unit is runing away from a bigger general unit, and you give an order on the other side of the battle field, the general will stop running and make his horse stand on its hind legs so his shout can be heard, a mile away. He will be the only unit in the generals cav to die in the subsequent exchange...
147. Back in their day, everyone respected spies and assassins as valuable members of the community. They just weren't allowed inside the city. If they tried to get in they would be executed. But if met on the plains, armies would afford them the same free passage as a merchant.
148. The Punic wars are just myths. Carthage never made it off Scicily, let alone Northern Africa.
149. If left alone, the Britons will crush all surrounding barbarians tribes, completely dominating all untill the meet romans. Then they never win another battle. Ever.
150. Despite popular belief, the Roman senate had NO power at all. It was other romans who chose who would govern and where Rome's armies would march next. The Senate occasionally gave small suggestions, but these were largely ignored, and no consequence followed.
151. Most of Rome's armies were controlled by three of the large families, who dressed them in bright red, green and blue. The Senate kept a slightly lower profile, dressing it's army in purple.
152. Family members and Agents could get old and die, but regular soldiers in a unit never aged.
153. When an army had lost all of its units except its general it was customary(sp?) for the general to find a phalanx and skewer himself on the spears.
154. Although Dyonisus(sp?) was a greek god, it would invoke a lot of cultural unrest when the Greek Cities came in control of the settlement that owned said temple.
155. When you conquered Hallicarnisus (sp? and well, i mean the place that has the mausoleum), your construction workers suddenly got a lot better(faster) at their work.
156. No matter how many tiumes a settlement reppelled full stacks from its walls, the neighbouring faction (if an enemy) will always send in more stacks, with the exact same strategies and little changes in the units it consists of.
157: That 1 spy could evade the gaurds and open up the gate to an enemy city.

169. When an army lost a battle, and it was followed by the enemy that wanted to kill all the survivors, the survivors could escape easily after trepassing a red line which surrounded the battlefield, no matter how much the followers were near to them...
170. an army of war dogs could kick butt.
171. Rome was the capital of the Roman Empire, wtf?
172. I learneded all ma historee! (why did I get a D in my History exam?)
173. You had to be careful out in the countryside, or GIANT MEN could crush you instantly!
174. It was customary for men, agents, to be twice as big as whole cities, and for tons of giants (eg. 5 diplomats) to fit into one small warship.
175. if the ram gets burned, the proper practice was for the unit pushing the ram to let the towers gun them down without moving.
176.there were numerous "freds" in the towers, not just one.
177. Just how corrupting power can be. ("I'll let Londinum revolt, then crush it and exterminate the population, rather than build city plumbing")
178. In ancient times, soldiers swore an oath of loyalty to their unit so strong that when they were beaten in battle and ran away - they would still stay together, even if a pursuing enemy force was slaughtering them. This behavior still exists in fish and other high-intelligence animals.
179. it took 6 months to train a cohort from scratch.
180. Romans had ninjas that could hide anywhere on the battlefield.

185. Routing charioteers who were oblivious to the world would have enough sense to run into the opposing general, killing him, then promptly turning around and wreck all the infantry formations. Then they would be shot by arrows and start runing amok and repeat the process.

217. the Collosuss Of Rhodes never was destroyed by an earthquake
218. some people can randomly jump 30 ft in the air.
219. In ancient times a reputation for personal heroism was a vital motivator for men to go to war. With this in mind, all siege ladders were fitted with spotlights so that should the men have to climb in the shadow of the wall, their valour would be highlighted, Hollywood style, for all to see.The spotlights used advanced sensors that lit up a man as soon as he reached the head of the queue for the ladder. Archaeologists are desparately searching for the secret of this technology in order to help combat the effects of global warming.

228. when druids can mumble mumbo jumbo and for some reason your units ability to attack others just magically goes down.
229. Horses get tired while standing still when their riders are shooting arrows
230. It takes 10 years to travel from spain to parthia.
231. I've learned to hate Asterix and Obelix comics/cartoons just because they are stinking gauls. I mean seriously, how do they beat the roman legions so easily? ŹŹ Blasphemy... BLASPHEMY I SAY
232. If you captured a city, the general of the army inside would immediately die even if you did nothing to him.
233. When horses crash into men, the men can become gymnasts and do acrobatic moves like back flips.
234. The story of the Incredible Hulk is actually based on solid fact. We scoff at the heroes of the ancient sagas of Homer and others, but what we don't understand is that people of that time had a gene that gave them superhuman strength when they reached a sufficient level of anger. Rome Total War simulates this faithfully in its seige assault game. The attackers only have a limited time to defeat all of the defenders before their emotions reach such a pitch that the "Hulk" effect kicks in. Once they achieve this state, even a single defender can defeat an entire attacking army. This is the true reason why so few seige assaults succeeded in classical times. The story of the Wooden Horse is a perfect illustration of how to circumvent the "Hulk" effect. The Trojans were clearly so busy laughing at the horse (which had been equipped with extra-small genitalia to provoke exactly this reaction) that they were unable to build up to the proper pitch of anger before the Greeks slaughtered the lot of them. The genetic sequence which causes this effect is only now beginning to be understood by the scientific community. We have discovered that it is almost always switched off in modern people owing to the effect an otherwise harmless New World virus that came back to Europe with Leif Ericsson. The virus clearly had catastrophic effect on the Vikings, their abilites in the raping and pillaging department dropped off sharply after it began to spread amongst their population. Modern warfare has had to change radically to compensate for the loss of the berzerker reaction. It is only the invention of rules or war (such as those of Chivalry) and euphamisms (such as "collateral damage") that have enabled us to carrying on fighting at all.
235. That when something is hit by a flaming missile, the fire burns out immediately.
236. Contact with a flaming missile results in the target instantly bursting into flames, be the target a Peasant or a metal-laden Cataphract.
237. Catapaults could not attack civilian structures, they just wouldn't.
238. The fog of war actually exists nobody could see anything of the known world
239. Rebels would always win navel battles (actually they have the better ship)
240. Other factions could get 30 elephants on to one ship and still have room for more
241. The Gauls never sack Rome
242. There is no such thing as surrender
243. Pirates have a spawn rate and just pop up out of nowhere.
244. Scythed chariots had all sorts of spikes on top of the chariots to pierce all the soldiers that wanted to sneak up on them from the sky.
245. Despite the crew wearing long mail coats, Egyptian chariots could collapse from a single arrow.
246. When a rock shot from an onager hit the ground, it would bounce once and then sink instantly into the ground.
247. Even though a nation had 10 full stack armies wandering around, conquering their capital made them join the "Great Rebel Independent Nation".
248. Forts and watchtowers were built in a second.
249. Alot of people in ancient times turned and became brigands, they could be seen everywhere!
250: When chariot horses die, their crew die with them, and vice versa.
