gladiator ruled

And that would rule, (not to mention it would obviously be feasible... the game says that the ships are catapulting pots of greek fire)

This is historically accurate! The Byzantines did this. Instead of napalm they used Byzantine fire a mix close to napalm.

is that like greek fire, there was a great post about greek fire at .com, yes we did talk seriously about stuff,

it's a mystery, it's creation.... i saw an episode on the history channel about explosives... claimed greek fire could only by put out by urine,.. but i digress...

in land-based catapults for use against land-based objects?

I don't think so...maybe though...

but I would like to see bovine (cow) catapults...now they are historical...

but then so are Crusades actually reaching the holy land...and a fat chance we'll get that http://www.totalwar.org/ubb/smile.gif

Gladiator is a great movie, I have it on DVD. However, a lot of the tactics and weaponry seen in the film were created or inspired by the producers and director. The idea of the trench filled with oil for the archers to light their arrows was completely conceived at the time of filming. There actually is no evidence that anything like that existed during that time period.

However, it's still cool!
