Factions Preview

[Sparton Matticus]

I think i just wet myself! Not realy!

Is that all of the faction units? or have we yet more units to come?

Im just amazed by the factions and the units and the mercanary units.

Just brilliant!

[Hister]

Oh no, there are more previews to come. They show a new work and the redesign of old units...

[Sparton Matticus]

excellent. I look foward to that. Keep up the good work guys.

Just a little suggestion: instead of 'Taxeis Hoplitai Syrakosioi' ('Syracusan hoplites battalions' - it's not very elegant Greek), you might try 'Hoplitai Phauloi Syrakosioi' ('Common Syracusan hoplites'). What do you think?

Thanks for the fix Zenith. ...I would like to find the right Greek definition to mean that those hoplites were conscripted "militia" units ...can you suggest the right (ancient) Greek word?

[Zenith Darksea]

There isn't one, I'm afraid. The closest you could get is athroizomenoi ('gathered together'), but that's not very elegant either. The best word I think is phauloi.

[Luciano B]

Thanks again Zenith.

Thanks also to all our supporters for the continuous, warm encuragement.

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

[Hister]

We expect it to be released in September 2007.

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

[Antonius]

I came, I saw, I WANT TO PLAY!!!!!!

Great stuff!

Just one thing...
what are the spartans doing in Italy?

[Turk]

Probably because i think that the Spartan King one time helped the City of Tarent(?) in fight against an Italic Tribe

[Hister]

That's wright Turk - se my answer to Antonius here:

I wanna play this mod, great work, surely gonna try it out when it's out

[Legionary Titus Pullo]

a good book to read is called TYRANT which refers in part to the ties between sparta and several cities in southern italy and sicily.

[Luciano B]

...yes, I know the book you're talking about ...it covers the rise of Dionysius of Syracuse, about half a century before the timeframe covered by our mod ...however a very good book on the subject.

[Riannorix]
