    Icon1 Roman teeth problem in game

    I just saw the screenshot of Romans versus Samnites again, Buth one thing i noticed immediately was that the romans didn't had all teeth in their mouth, they only get one or two teeth in their mouth.
    I know theeth hygiene wasn't very good at all but shouldn't they get more teeth in their mounth then only one or two?

    I heard Romans brushed their teeth with grass and powdered mouse brains.

    Not sure if serious.
    Aelfwine, then, spoke out and valiantly declared: 'Let us call to mind those declarations we often uttered over mead, when from our seat we heroes in hall would put up pledges about tough fighting; now it can be proved who is brave. I am willing to make my lineage known to all, that I was from a substantial family in Mercia. My grandfather was called Ealhelm, a wise nobleman blessed with worldly wealth. The thanes among that people shall not reproach me for my wanting to get out of this army, to make my way home, now that my lord leader is lying hacked down in battle. To me that is the greatest grief: he was both my kinsman and my lord." Then he moved forward and turned his attention to revenge, so that with his spear he struck a seaman among the army so that he lay dead among the ground, destroyed by his weapon. Then he exhorted his comrades, his friends and companions, that they should advance.

    I agree, except....the horses and elephants should be crapping everywhere on the battlefield, actually the dead should void their bowls as well. Crap needs to be in the game!

    As far as I'm concerned this man could have lost his death by a blow in the face. Very common back then.
    Under the patronage of Emperor Maximinus Thrax
    "Steps to be taken in case Russia should be forced out of war considered. Various movements [of ] troops to and from different fronts necessary to meeting possible contingencies discussed. Conference also weighed political, economic, and moral effect both upon Central and Allied powers under most unfavorable aspect from Allied point of view. General conclusions reached were necessity for adoption of purely defensive attitude on all secondary fronts and withdrawing surplus troops for duty on western front. By thus strengthening western front [those attending] believed Allies could hold until American forces arrive in numbers sufficient to gain ascendancy."

    So being hit in the face makes you immortal? I should get my boxing instructor to uppercut me in the jaw then.

    The teeth you've pointed arrows at are from the lower jaw, just an optical illusion, if you can call it that.

    Fact: Roman soldiers earned a tooth for every year of faithful service to the state.
    It is clear, some of the soldiers on the screen were recent levies, who have served only 2-3 years.

    Correct, when enlisting in the Roman army the recruit had all his teeth pulled out by his centurion, from then he had to earn them back one tooth a year for a total of 32 years service. This was done to discourage desertion ("You can run, but I got your teeth!") and to make the soldiers appreciate a diet of gruel and soup. It was also used as a visible sign of veterancy.

    Historically this is correct as in Roman times we had not evolved beyond a simple 2 teeth chewing mechanism.

    The full mouth of teeth is a relatively new development with the first recorded instance over 1000 years later in 1106.
