Interesting, I think the goals of the two are a little different though. This first one seems to be more of an attempt to provide a basic manual, whereas I think with the new one it's more of an attempt to create a combination unit stat database, tactic/strategy guides for each faction, and act as a replay repository (which is of course what it started as). So I think they provide somewhat different information.

And what we should do?

Looks like the main things needed are campaign and battle guides. History and Untis seem to have been covered.

Will try get the Makedonian Starting guide up and running.

If anybody finds time, please edit out the emoticons Cute Wolf has so eagerly shared with us, such as the infamous :p

And remove the journalism and make it more straight-to-the-facts

They are cheap, numerous, and their stats are actually a good one, even without javelins. Use them to hold the center of your early and mid game battle line (but don't forget to have some family members watching them closely :p so they won't rout soo fast). Giving enough time, as well as guard mode, they are quite useful to keep those pesky pedites extraordinarii pinned and useless (due to their 1 armour means that they don't get punished at all by ap weapons). Beware against javelins and arrows though, you'll often found that some Leuce Epos are nice to have arround and kill those missile skirmishers before they start to deplete your poor lugoae.


Never use them to guard the border with lusotann anyway... their gaesamica and insane javelin throwing milites will easily decimate them in no time, use them to guard the border with their numbers against Romaioi and Sweboz, giving proper support with cavalry and slingers, they could keep a good performance each time they fought a battle. With a chevron or two, they can actually hold the line as true line infantry anyway, but don't forget to switch to Gaelaiche when the latter are available, unless you have a playstyle that emphasizes manpower rather than quality (and their difference in quality is rather acceptable).

Uh... sorry.....
I was soo drama-minded....

Well, being an old-timer too (sort of) I still have to say that I have already added this EB-wiky to my bookmarks and I will try co update some content into it. Great idea, Vartan!

And Meth, there is so much wisdom you could share...

EDIT: For instance I think it would be nice to have an article or series of articles dealing with the history of EB-forum community. There is lot of in-house expressions and references not immediately understandable to newcomers (for example the famous Bartix stuff, and many others) - these things might also be included into the wiki. Also some of the famous AARs might be discussed and linked to there...

Wow, it looks amazing now!

[Unintended BM]

Looks very good. I just uploaded all of the Casse pictures we didn't have and all of the Makedonian pictures for later use.

[anubis88]

I must agree... You guys have made some great progress... the wiki looks great..

Oh...those are Makedonia pics? From looking at the list I thought they were AS pics. Alright then. I have to get to work on renaming all the files cause the image names that are used on the EB site are sometimes off. Thanks Unintended BM.

[Unintended BM]

All of the names are the same as the ones on the EB site, but yeah, some could be wrong. I should've probably put 'mak' or something in front of the names to distuingish them. Sorry about that. I'll probably upload more later, so feel free to contact me and tell me your style of naming them so I can do it right next time.

Also, nice job following through with finishing up the Aedui units.
