Question and a suggestion

[MaceHead]

I don't know if you have any use for them, but here are some pictures of persians 1 2 3 4

I heard this background-music on a tv show about ancient greeks. It sounds a little Oriental, but maybe it can be used for something. 1 2 3 4

Little question, is it possible that simple artillery appears later in the game?

Good luck with the mod, I really looking forward playing it.

It is oriental. I've only listened to the first one but it's Japanese.

[MaceHead]

your right forget about the music.

I have another question will there be an Acropolis in the big cities (like Athens) or other special buildings?

[spirit_of_rob]

We are hoping for somehting like this but i really doubt that they will be in the first release.

For the moment they will probably have effects on the settlement on the strat map but actual 3d representations on battle map is not likely to appear in the first realease as it looks to be alot of work and atm we have more pressing needs.

[Sparton Matticus]

Background music is good, but it cant be too over powering.. you have to strike the right balance between the music and the sound effects. But in principle it sounds like a good idea.

[MaceHead]

I understand that there are more pressing needs than buildings I hope there will be some 3d in later releases

I heard somewhere that you will use the shield wall as phalanx or a modified vanilla phalanx.
Can someone tell any details about the Hegemonia phalanx, or are you still tweaking and experimenting with it?

[MaceHead]

I know that wasn't the first phalanx question, but can someone tell me the progress so far? Im really curious.

[Lavastein]

the map is done but Persians have yet to be completed. when Persians are done we will see a beta if im not mistaken.

[spirit_of_rob]

Well we have a formation in the team build but it is still a distance from being as as accurate and good as we want it

[Snevets]

Combination of no space for more units and no reforms in BI made it impossible from the start I'm afraid. Still someone can always start a pelop mod for MTW II. I doubt it'll fly the name Hegemonia but who knows, you may see some of us again.

[Zarax]

Reforms are possible in BI, you just need to activate them in the descr_strat file (You're talking about the marian reforms trigger, right?)

[Snevets]

Well its sort of irrelevant, the real reason is the models limit.

Thankyou Spirit of Rob. Darn, I have just finished reading Thucydides and was hoping I'd be able to fight the Peloponnesian war. Looking forward to this mod anyway, cant wait till this is released!!

[spirit_of_rob]

Well you can fight out the lesser pelop war (Athenian Land Empire episode), im not entirely sure of the dates of the top of my head but it was about 20 years prior to the great pelop war

[El Muerte]

27 years to be precise....and there was a 1 year of truce if i can remember it correctly.
Question: Will you put at least lil blood ? It's so cool to have bloody soldiers when they are killed by arrows.We talked about this mate but didn't had opportunity to ask you that

Suggestion: Well just read last colored post in overhand/underhand animation for hoplites

I can't wait to see what you made. Im like a kid in a candystore!

[Phaylanx]

i have question will the greeks have battle chants? i know it sounds weird or a bit too much to ask but if they could that would be awesome!! dont you think? i watched the battle of gaugelamala(cant spell) and i heard them chanting something and it sounded awesome and scary and the persians had the lame hoo hah chant lol if this has been asked before sorry and if its impposible to do or just time consuming sorry again thanks!! Phaylanx

[Snevets]

Prebattle taunting perhaps.

[Phaylanx]

no i meant when there marching and attacking will they have chants? while doing those things because i think it would be cool! have you watched alexander?(i know its bad) in the battle of Gaugelamala the pikemen were chanting something while advancing and it sounded cool! i think if you could do this it would make battles more cooler lol im not saying you have to do it i was wondering if it could be done? thanks again! Phaylanx

[spirit_of_rob]

Not sure if this can be done to be honest if it can be i certainly dont know how to

oh and there will be no blood in this mod it just doesnt work in Romes engine

[Snevets]

Only thing I can think of would be to change the sound of the guy walking to a guy walking and chanting but... meh.
