    Default How Do You Like Them Apples

    OMFG I cant wait to see how CA has implemented the apple harvesting from the roman Latifundae.

    p.s. there is an "Index of Threads" posted in the stickies. Please do not post a new thread before you have checked this thread and searched the forums. It's much better for discussion if we contain ourself to a few specific threads.

    If this was even included it would be included in some trade resource, or just included under some sort of farm probably (if you can even build an apple orchard?). I guess.

    Apple harvesting from Roman Latifundae is just as relevant as all the other threads being posted atm.

    Maybe I should clarify. It's a well known fact that the apple harvest from the Roman provinces was one of the major reasons that the Republic was able to recruit, train and field such a high volume of Legions when needed. The special properties of apples was also a contibuting factor to enhance the stamina of the relatively small, weak and feable native Italians.

    Another interesting fact about the Roman reliance on apples comes from Sicily, where the local governor in 72 BC: Imapul Lingafastone ordered the entire apple harvest to be shipped off to Africa as the mules and oxes there really liked apples. This in turn increased the grain production and allowed Rome to recruit more Legions, faster. The original name for "Marian Mules" were in fact "Marian Apples".

    I see exactly what you're trying to do, and I like it. Pardon me though, I haven't read the recent threads. Care to link to your source(s) of inspiration?
