Ehm, what's up vartan. That's why I wrote "Phalangitai" in these " ", because 1. I have no better word for them too and 2. in EB the Macedonian-Style Phalangitai are called "Phalangitai" and the Greek-Style ones are called "Hoplitai" (who, however, still fight in a phalanx-formation).


The only thing that could make my answer THAT funny is the fact, that you edited your post (to which I answered in the first place) today, which makes my answer of course not appropriate anymore

The Hastati on the left who's looking at his foot kind of ruins it, but I think it looks cool still.

tbh I like it that that one chap looks at his foot rather than standing straight, it gives the pic a more human touch

I like the Hastatus who looks at his foot. There must have been many snakes in ancient Egypt ;-)

I always use phalanx for hoplites and Makedonian syntagma for phalangitai, as to not mixing them up.

I hate to nitpick, but those are Eleutheroi, not Swêboz. The latter have unique skins for Germanic units, whereas other factions, like the SPQR, use the Eleutheroi ones.
Otherwise, an excellent picture.


Speaking of Romans, could some of you guys please cut out the anti-Roman/anti-whatever spam? It sucks.
Btw. "Romaioi" is plural only.

seconded, most of the greek fanboys don't seem to know Rhomaios is singular... a shame.
And to be even more grammatical correct, if you say: I kill a roman, or whatever it is ton Romaion for singular and tous romaious for plural.

and btw. A screenshot of a roman getting thrown in the air isn't spam
Would a picture of a gaul getting thrown in the air be spam then as well?

Oh, and a last thing, please, if you want to say something in greek,and didn't ever learn it, ask someone for grammar check first :)

I wasn't referring to the screenshot, rather to some comments.

Ofc Romaioi is plural: that elephant killed many of them (trust me, i saw it)

Hehehe, in that battle I saw an elephant that fell in the river and drowned.

Yeah it's an old picture and I couldn't really remember which battle it was from, but I assumed it was against the Sweboz based on the units. I guess it was against the Eleutheroi though. I don't think I'll change the name though, as "Breaking the Eleutheroi Battleline" doesn't have much of a ring to it.

I'm glad you like the picture!

Well, if you want to be really technical, those are Germanics, since Eleutheroi just means "Independent" or "Free".

Use the GNU Image Manipulation Program, usually referred to as simply, (the) GIMP. You can find it here.

You don't even need GIMP. Just copy and paste it into paint.

The person in question needed easy cropping. Using GIMP, the person can crop much quicker and in far fewer steps than in MS Paint. Also, he or she should know that GIMP runs on many systems.

He could just have copied the needed area in a new image (control+n?) and voila, it's "cropped" now

But at the same time, I don't see why anyone wouldn't use GIMP. It's completely free and it's a great program, giving you more options than paint does. It's not like it takes a long time to download or anything.

GIMP compared to Paint is like a fully automatic wood harvester machine compared to an axe. But if you just want to cut the low end of your christmas tree a bit so that it matches better with that thing in which it belongs, you choose the axe. You don't put your tree into that harvester machine for an action as simple as that.

That got longer and more complicated as I had planned.

I understand what you're saying, but if you already have GIMP there's really no reason to use paint to crop instead of GIMP. It's not like it takes more effort to crop in GIMP than it does in paint. But really, who cares, everyone should just use whichever program they prefer. It doesn't really matter.

Yes of course, but GIMP takes ages to load on my comp, probably that's not the case with others.

Well then, that is a very valid reason not to use GIMP, I don't blame you at all haha

Don't really have a fancy name for this one, so I'm just using a quote instead:

A dog may be man's best friend, but the horse wrote history

And this time, the horse wrote "Murder, bloody murder"?
from my roman campaign, the AI at it's best decides to siege assault one of my less garnisoned cities, with horses.
