    I want to see rivers of blood, let my Roman Legions bathe in the blood of barbarians and wade through oceans of blood as they burn the city´s of Graecia and the Poeni! Mohahahah!!!!
    Seriously, they´ve got to include some blood.

    I don't come here a lot any more. You know why? Because you suck. That's right, I'm talking to you. Your annoying attitude, bad grammar, illogical arguments, false beliefs and pathetic attempts at humour have driven me and many other nice people from this forum. You should feel ashamed. Report here at once to recieve your punishment. Scumbag.

    I would imagine blood was sort of a (pardon the expression) "hit or miss" thing in battles. I mean, there was probably plenty of it, but you weren't guaranteed to decapitate an enemy. Considering how troublesome the process was when someone was sitting STILL (for executions), dismemberment couldn't have been easy to pull off in one swing. From what I can tell, it seems like most of the TRUE gory-ness of the ancient world came AFTER battle, what with the defiling of enemies, and the subsequent raping/tossing babies off ramparts...

    About some great ancient battles, for example the battle of Chalons (Campi Catalaunici), the historians (Jordanes) wrote how the blood ran like torrents. But we really don't know if it was true or a literary motif.

    But I vote for the blood and the carnage!
