Unit Conscription : Corsica and Sardinia

[brymht]

I can't recruit much of anything in the these provinces even as carthaginians, and almost as little as the Romans. Will this be changing in 1.1?

[Teleklos Archelaou]

Yes, but don't expect it to turn into an Antioch or anything.

[russia almighty]

We going to finally get the warp site for the Filipino auxiliaries?

[General Appo]

This discussion was up a while ago, and dragged on for quite a while with lots of wierd people who claimed lost of wierd things about sheepherds and stuff.
But I´ve got to say, new Sardinian units are one of the number one things that makes me wanna play 1.1. Hopefully it´ll be a local Nuraghi units and not just the added ability to recruit Hoplitai Haploi and Akontistai, but I´ve understand that it´s very hard to know how exactly the Nuraghi fought.
Didn´t one of the guys in that old thread claim that the Nuraghi invaded Egypt and Sicily, and fought with iron swords before iron was discovered and probably visited America and walked on the moon somewhere around 1000 BC?
Nationalism can do crazy stuff to people.

We've also seen what it can do in the thread where they claimed all Alexander actually did was sit home and write about imaginary exploits in Persia, without actually even doing anything to cross the Bosphorus.

Nationalism is crazy stuff.

I still think Scandinavians had guns btw.

I missed that one.

King Arthur was the greatest warrior ever, btw. Except for Alfred the Great, he could shoot lightning from his ears.

I'm content that you have resumed the argument
and i hope that it can be spoken serenely about the Sardinian warrior


as uselessly i had asked in the old one thread!

i had not read of the iron sword in hand to the shardana in the 1200!

an identical copy to the swords Shardana is found in the museum of Cagliari

it was arsenicated fairy of branch

we must suppose but that many were made of bronze

as far as the sword in iron, null is it tried...in all sense


but we know the sea people before to invade the Egypt they destroyed

the Hittita empire

I have read some scholars that they assume that the shardana was mercenary of the Hittita empire beyond that of that egyptian


the Hittiti ones were draw first to use the iron

[Watchman]

For spears, daggers and such. Prestige items essentially by what I know of it (good sophisticated bronzeworking beats primitive ironworking in end-product performance specs, AFAIK) - the Old Testament puts an iron-tipped spear in the hands of the Philistine champion Goliath. Took a while longer before the metallurgy got good enough to make decent-sized swords...
