EB is not Historical?

[Tellos Athenaios]

When it comes to the hoplites, I didn't. My first idea of what hoplites looked like was from a cartoon by Marcia Williams which I got as a present when I must've been about 8 years old or so. The original English version is "The Illiad and The Odyssey" (the Dutch translation is "De Trojaanse oorlog en De reizen van Odysseus").

You must admit tough that it is really peculiar that a first post from someone is about such a topic... It's really very wierd isn't it?

As for lorica segementa, that is innaccurate. However, underhand hoplite spears is a topic of some interest of mine. However, I am busy right now and am unable to post.

I propose the team counts the LS threads: if they reach one hundred the end date will be switched to 146BC, when all interesting factions ends existing in history

1-The way they fight is hardcoded, the spears issue is not. Overhand fighting is the most probable way hoplites fought.
2-The LATE 1st century, a part of the game represented by about 20 turns out of around 2000...not important. Not even considering the fact that the Lorica Segmentata took years to be common in the armies and even then it wasn't enough to be an entire unit.

1144 Turns actually.

right, they made an account solely to discuss the innacuracy of EB. In that much effort he could have read the FAQ
