    Thumbs up Re: KH Wallpaper

    Oh, that! I only wrote that to speed ahead of your slow posts. As you can see, I've edited it and congratulated this young boy on his splendid art.

    Good job, boy, seriously! Although one minor thing I notice is that the Greek and Roman phrases appear to be different shades of orange... Still wondrous, though. A great tribute to the glory of EB!
    Although AP does have a point in stating that hoplites were what the Hellenes were famous for...

    Splendid! However, a real KH fan would be aghast at the walpaper, as the phalangites and archers were the last two things the Balkan Greeks were famous for. You really should add a hoplite to the wallpaper.

    Why did you have to call Skullheadhq "boy", Meth? Discrimination against newbies ? You know, that's what 20-50 year old black males were called during the racist times of US. To downplay their importance and the already low standing.

    Its Akontistai actually. As for the unit, I would recommend some reformed hoplite (Thureophoroi, Thorakitai, Iphikratous Hoplitai, etc), or better yet - Peltastai (Hellenic Heavy Skirmisher).

    Except that the general of Alexander, Seleukos I Nikator, Founder of the AS. Was Alexanders general.
    And no, this is not an good mozaic of the battle of the battle of Gaugamela,. It's an good mozaic of the BATTLE OF IPSOS!And aren't they the heirs of MEGAS ALEXANDROS???

    ok sorry
    actually it could be better for the ptolemoi as seeing that Ipsos was ptolemoi territory
    I knew all you said accept for the battle being at ipsos
    sorry for that, I certainly liked the koinon one

    lol now I look like a jackass with that tripple post... damn mergers...


    it appears one of my posts is missing from the Casse thread. I suggested removing the word Casse, as it would look alot more pleasing to the eye. And well... Its not written in "celtic" if there is a written celtic language at all. Maybe write it in runes! haha


    EDIT: I see you did just that.. It looks smashing!

    I think remove the Casse letters. It would look alot better without them

    Feel free to make wallpapers all day and all night, I personal like your style, but maybe you could unite the three(!!) threads for wallpapers to one (or maybe a mod could do that)....
