Yep, first one I recognised (or really, first one that loaded), Scythian Archer. Exactly like EB´s.

I love that collection. I wish there was more of them. He has probably gathered all pictures of steppe warriors in the world.

I found alot of these during my AtB research. We could use people who can find pictures of Wusun cavalrymen, and Bosporan as well.

Thanks a bunch, guys.

You found a collection of interesting pictures relevant to EB without sharing and expect a balloon? You should be giving everybody else balloons. :whip:

no offense ludwag, but Intranetusa gave you a balloon for no reason and you don't deserve it. he only gave it too you as a response to the post I made earlier.

so I should not accept it? Ok, I will wait for a better time to recieve a baloon, I will wait untill I really deserve it

well, if you really want it and what you say is true, just go for it. I can't stop you there.

I will wait for the really good moment when I really deserve it.

btw, what is the difference in the colours of the baloons?

Yeh I mean, the dude wants a balloon. Who are we to deny him one of life's simple pleasures? :yes:

Is eb forum like the main discussion forum here on ancient history?

If so I think we should start a thread where we post our favorite pictures from ancient warfare. Like all those Angus mcbride, and Johnny Shumate pictures that we have picked up on the internet or found in books. hey, lets do that!

and it has to have one rule: no post without a picture in it

I don't think Osprey pics are allowed (copyright issues).

The EB forum is not the forum to discuss ancient history, it is the forum to discuss the EB mod (including the history timeframe). If people begin to think that this forum has any other use and post as such we will begin to close any off-topic thread. Please use other areas of the forum to discuss unrelated topics to EB.

they aren't. neither is Montvert allowed. you could post Funckens, menzels, and a few Knotels...perhaps even a morrier.

tragically, none deal with EB's timeframe.:no:
