Αδουτουπουλοι -- undead Greek hopllites

[Maklodes]

Wouldn't it be cool if you could get undead units? Imagine if the Greek factions could recruit undead hoplites from the past days -- calling their ancient heroes to fight for them once more as the Sons of Hades, skeletal warriors clad in tarnished muscle cuirasses. An indomitable force which terrifies all who behold them, but is immune to fear itself. Perhaps Spartans could even recruit undead members of the 300 of Thermopylae. Maybe you could even get undead Leonidas as a general! So I think there should be an undead hoplite unit, the sons of Hades, with undead Spartan hoplites as a special superior version.

No

No

You probably think that only Egyptians should get undead units with their mummy charioteers, don't you?

[Sherm]

Not even in Age of Mithology

No need, they've got something already.

Taking Rome 2 in new, crazy directions.

I personally would rather field a legion of M1A Abrams tanks.

This man might possibly be the most crazy and yet sane person on this entire forum.

obvious troll, go and waste a thread some other site.

[PunitorMaximus]

it would be even more awesome to have an addon or make a mod that makes the mystical creatures of the faction recruitable for them. like minotaurs, celtic incarnations of gods (boars, deers, wolves, warhounds), germanic valkyres, perisan scorpion-men and **** like that. similar to age of mythology

[MonTeZuma]

Rubbish idea for Rome, but ok for fantasy total war.

I love that film.
@OP: No.

[Augustus Scipius]

I want to see centaur cavalry and oliphants, those would certainly add new tactical possibilities. While we are at it, why not also add flying units? At least the Romans had huge golden eagles that flew and lowered enemy morale. They also **** bronze and therefore also acted as mobile smithies. CA should really implement such an important feature in the game.

I have only a correction dear OP.
The correct term would be Αδεειδες the pulus/ πουλος ending is of latin origin lol!

[Maklodes]

In all seriousness, yes, this is a light-hearted/humorous (at least as intended) thread, but I wouldn't classify trolling and humor as identical. I mean, I'm not here to insult anyone or anything like that. Just hoping (maybe failing?) to be entertaining. TWR2 is a game whose purpose is to entertain and all that; this isn't a support forum for Microsoft Excel or something (software which actually isn't intended to be entertainment).

Thanks! My Greek is slightly... non-existent. (I was going to write rusty, but that would have been a huge exaggeration.)

This thread is fine to leave open as long as you all stop spamming it. So, here goes the usual warning:

Let's stop spamming this thread up or you'll suffer the consequences.

Wrong forum.
