Lorica Segmentata?

[pezhetairoi]

Why aren't the Romans wearing the lorica segmetata as the RTW game does? All sources show they are wearing it! Asterix shows all the Roman soldiers in Julius Caesar's era also wearing it. The lorica segmetata is the best armour! According to the articles and books i read like Dorling Kindersley's 'ROMANS' eyewitness book says the lorica segmetata was cheap and easy to produce! Why does the EB team not include it? It is not historically reaslistic!







...sorry, I just had to do it. XD We didn't have an LS thread for March yet, so I thought I'd just try my hand at one, since it seems so fun there's one every month.

[Tiberius Nero]

Also Romans liked cheese. And pie.

[Strategos Alexandros]

And bacon.

[Moosemanmoo]

Ooooh, I do wonder who will take this on?!

*sits down with popcorn*



I think there ought to be a poll for the best "where is the LS?" thread

[Long lost Caesar]

phew, for a second there i thought this was serious! dont mess with my head like that man

[Hax]

At first, I was looking at it thinking 'Oh gods,' but when I saw your name, I just knew that SOMEHOW it wasn't serious.

By the way. Ducks.

[Reno Melitensis]

Pezhetairoi there is a price to pay for mentioning the Lorica Segmentata on this forum, you are now the most wanted man , dead or alive, with a price of 10,000 mnai on your head. May Jupiter Maximus have mercy of your soul.

[Tyrfingr]

And bacon.

I eat bacon almost every day...my colesterol is shooting high and the grease is plugging my bloodstream. I will have to ask myself only one thing: Do I feel lucky? Well, do I? PUNK!

[Strategos Alexandros]

Ah, but is it from Lorica segmentata wearing pigs?

[Poulp']

LS's threads are great, they help orgers stay alert.

A thread a day keeps you people okay.

[Disciple of Tacitus]

I think Pez should start a LS thread EVERY month. That way the inevitable starter of the not-yet-made LS thread can just read Pez's insightful and informative comments ...

[Xtiaan72]

At this point you should just give L.S it's own sticky!

[Aper]

I know the Truth about LS: it was made of leather!
Seriously, have you ever heard something about this? A large group of Italian reenactors strongly support this possibility... What do you think??

[Hax]

Heh, epic. That's a major f**k you in Hollywoods general direction.

[Aper]

Heh, epic. That's a major f**k you in Hollywoods general direction.

I'm really glad of this

BELOVED FORUM THREADS NOW CONFIRMED AS ENDANGERED. POSSIBLY EXTINCT.

Let's not all forget that, many months ago, there flourished a great species of posts that, because of the high value of its flame-bait (a sad thing in indeed) may well have become extinct through obscurity. Due the recent rarity of the sightings of such proud threads, the species is feared to be extinct amongst many forum-thropologists. This tragic thread species I'm talking about is the now-famous 'EB Team has Underpowered Romans' thread. Even the thread sub-species of '(Insert civilization name here) is overpowered' has become elusive, leading to mounting fears that it, too, may well be heading down the road of never being seen again.

This should be of the greatest concern to the forums GreenusPax, yet no-one seems to care, a conspiracy is perhaps afoot here...?

[Apgad]

And what about the camels? Where are the camels?

[Tiberius Nero]

And what about the camels? Where are the camels?

BRING BACK THE CAMELS

Sorry, I meant women, heh.

[General Appo]

Romans are to weak, I demand camels and LS, the Ptolies/Seles/Bakts are kicking my ass, turns are to slow, the new sea slows the game, greek doesn´t look that way, and some more shit.

[Aper]

BRING BACK THE CAMELS

Sorry, I meant women, heh.

It's true, it's true! I really suffer the lack of the "woman" mount type!
...
"mounted women??"
...
oops

[Hax]

Save the Slingers!

[Tiberius Nero]

some more shit.

Seconded.

[Watchman]

"...a new survey finds that again this year the number one issue among voters is bullshit."

[anubis88]

How about:

Why didn't i get the reforms? I met all the requirements but of course i didn't touch the guy in the top left corner!

[Dhampir]

And what about the camels? Where are the camels?

Indy told Sallah: "NO camels!"

Indy = God.
Therefore
Indy's word = Word of God.

[mlc82]

I started laughing when I saw this question thinking "this poor bastard has no idea that he just jumped headfirst into a raging fire"... then realized I've seen you posting here for awhile and it was likely a joke

[pezhetairoi]

Definitely fun alright. XD I was waiting to see how many people got heart attacks before they recognised who wrote it. XD

We should start monthly overpowered threads just to keep the thing alive too. Endangered threads must be preserved for posterity! XD

It's also a way of paying tribute to the old fact that history repeats itself. :D

[beatoangelico]

What about lorica segmentata guys riding camels and using slings?

[pezhetairoi]

What about LS-wearing elephants on egyptian chariots drawn by four horses, one hurling javelins, one shooting arrows and one hurling AP, BP, very_long_range flaming pigs with its trunk? Frightening infantry and cavalry both. Deadly, man.

[underthesun]

Wait wait wait wait!

What about...
