    Default What is that?

    I fought some battles in my Mak-Campaign near the Hanging Gardens and I saw them in one of the Legions vs. Phalanx tournament replays today, so I think its the right time to ask this question:

    What is that "thing" supposed to be?



    Perhaps some kind of acient scaffolding?

    Here are some other pics

    And about the tournament replays:

    It's just another section of the gardens isn't it?
    If Vanilla was a toilet, it'd be clean
    If EB was a toilet, It'd be sparkling

    LOL.

    Seriously, if someone actually did that kind of formation in an online match, he is extremely lame.

    Better bring up some catapults!

    Cool store, bro! I want some ham.
    No ham, pepsi.
    They make deli slices of frozen pepsi now? Awesome!
    You also need to purchase a small freezer for storage of your pepsi.
    It runs on batteries. You'll need a few.
    Uhh, I guess I won't have pepsi then. Do you have change for a twenty?

    I did not think I would ever utter such vulgar term, but lol, BurningEGO hit it right in the spot: the n00b box was noobish and lowly for vanilla, and in EB it is even more noobish, and even more lowly especially because of the fact that phalanxes are so overpowered in EB - nothing can get through them.

    Anyway, as for the structure, why could it not be some sort of ancient ziggurat left over from the bygone days of Babylon? After all, it was an ancient city, and a Mesopotamian city, and those cities were famous for ziggurats. What do you think guys? The main question is whether it has steps on the other side. It could also be a sort of burial structure, a mausoleum, however, I do not recollect any civilizations in Mesopotamia building such imposing structures.

    But wait, these buildings are all from vanilla. Which means that they are likely to be wildly inaccurate. Why am I even discussing this building??

    I cannot believe some of you are seriously complaining because a player has made the intelligent decision and formed square.

    What do you want, a fair fight?

    Additionally, kudos to Irishhitman for getting his seriously maulled guys inside the block and not trying to form pentagon with a duff side; or leaving them outside. Doubtless it also provided him with a rested reserve to plug the gap when one side collapsed.

    i always thought it was a very silly interpretation of the tower of babylon.

    Actually, I was thinking the same thing... might be the tower of Babylon.
    To settle the deal between Romans and Greeks once and for all... both Italy and Greece are in deep s*** at the moment. Do you really think who had the biggest spear in antiquity makes any difference?
