Yeah, really realistic that I'll just chuck a religious object and war trophy at my enemy. I've apparently collected so many heads, I just don't think I'll need that many slaves in the afterlife, so I'll try and share. Bleeding hell that's stupid.

That is the same "exact" thing I was thinking when I first saw the "head hurlers"

How about "suicide head hurlers"? They pull their own head off and have a friend chuck it at the enemy!

Hush, don't give Al Quaeda any ideas!

A similar idea to my gaesatae eunuchs. A rain of bloody phalluses are sure to break the most sturdy formation of brave men...

btw, great job EB guys! no matter what anybody says your mod will be something that all RTW fans will love. Fun and, *cough* historically accurate to a google sense, i'll download it on 1 condition....are you keeping a briton faction? if you are put archers in!!! if you wont i'll sit here and pout until you do

**Ranika** · 06-05-2005, 11:03

We are keeping Britons, and don't worry, they'll have archers. Celtic skirmishing forces almost always had archers with them. Why CA opted for them to have slings only, and no archers, is beyond me. Gauls and Britons both will both have archers and slingers though.

heheheh as if Google is an adequately trustworthy method of invalidation...
Until all the world's books are digitized and put on the internet, the fact remains that you are STILL going to need to acquire ACTUAL BOOKS in order to get ANY worthwhile information on obscure -nigh exterminated- pieces of ancient history.
You were lucky McMenamin's reference to TSRM came up at all.

Although McMenamin's publications are a bit light (dictionary is 32 pages), so we tend to use mostly Krahmalkov's publications (500 pages).

This was a thoroughly entertaining thread. Thanks.

Well, your idea is fantasy but it won't work. The idea with the fantasy units is to get the 12 year old AOL people playing

.

Ca would include it if what ever they throw is wrapped in a loin cloth!
