The magistrat (consuls, praetors, censors, aedils, quaestors) was elected by the people. The offices weren't assigned by the senate!

Re: The historically wrong thread
Londinium was founded around 47AD, 33 years after the game ends.
Not that I actually care though
Re: The historically wrong thread
*sigh* again? havent you guys enjoyed the game enought?
well my only "historical" complain would be that the map is too damn small, so are the provinces. and wheres "xxx" faction?!?! bah, i love this game.
Taking on seven years that the holy ghost had left alone
test my arms, kick like crazy, Ive been trying way too long.
only if he could push his way off and fight you
Im sorry, Im sorry, Im not sure
Getting this off my chest, the story ends.
Re: The historically wrong thread
Ugh...
I pledge allegiance to the underworld One nation under dog,There of which I stand alone,A face in the crowdUnsung, against the mold
Without a doubt
Singled out
The only way I know
Stepped out of the line,Like a sheep runs from the herd
Marching out of time,To my own beat now
The only way I know
One light, one mind,Flashing in the dark
Blinded by the silence of a thousand broken hearts
"For crying out loud" she screamed unto me
A free for all,Screw 'em all
You are your own sight
I want to be the minority,I don't need your authority
Down with the moral majority,I want to be the minority
Re: The historically wrong thread
Fixing most of these things would make the game very, very unappealing to people who are not 'ULTIMATE ANCIENT HISTORY BUFFS!!!' like most of the people of this forum. Only about 0.001% (or something like that, I don't know) of the people who own the game probably actually care about when the Brutus family came along or whatever.
If you want accuracy, get a mod, rather than complaining about the accuracy of the game.
I do however agree about the Spartan and Macedonian symbols.

The Thread
Re: The historically wrong thread
?
What's this shouting for ?
I see this thread as a kind of "anti-easter egg", where we try to find the little errors. The same as it's fun, in a movie, to try to see the little glitches (like the Odysseus who wears a digital watch, or the guy who is wounded on the left arm in one scene, and the right arm in one other).
I don't see it as complaint, bashing, accusation or else...
If violence didn't solve your problem... well, you just haven't been violent enough.
Re: The historically wrong thread
A rather big inaccuracy is the amount of desert on the map. Before the Romans had control over it, most of Northern Africa wasn´t desert. The same for Asia Minor. In ancient times, it was in fact 90% woodland.
Re: The historically wrong thread
there was also a meteor strike in Germany in the period (alrowan had a thread about it on the .Net)
now THAT would make for some interesting gameplay
also - the Silician pirates were a world power who humbled rome & near starved the city out - a dreadful ommission from the game
but - hey
we hate the Romans so much ... we MP VI not RTW

Re: The historically wrong thread
Oh Oh Oh! I got one I think!
The corvus quinquireme is presented as the ultimate of Roman ships, especially since it is the only one that has the raven on it. But historically, didn't the raven cause more problems than it solved? I was under the impression that it was so heavy that it impacted the vessel's seaworthiness, and really slowed the ship down. I thought the Romans only used it in limited capacity, and then abandoned it pretty quickly.
