[The Stranger]

Ok boys - I have some troubles with scannings some pictures, but when I scann I will post to prove (Thursday, I hope) what I wrote and I will give the names of historians and their books. It is just begginig Emperor Umeu 1 .

DukeofSerbia - if you want historical game - send it all to Paradox ;-). They made GREAT historic games from medieval to WW2 so acient world is next in order ;)
(Crusader Kings, Europa Universalis 1,2, Victoria Empire under the Sun, Hearts of Iron 1,2)

RTW is for FUN - and there are many more things that have to be improved than just being historic... BTW they should make much more patches - like Paradox do.

crusader kings was the best.

I'm playing Europa Univesalis 2. And I'm moding the game. I know little Dutch . This is real Serbian - Поздрав свима из Србије!

[caesar44]

i dont know...
who made more mistakes CA or duke of serbia
the guy has a point , the game is unhistoric
but he did not find lilybaeum in any book...
i wonder whos books is it
gladiators actually fought under roman command (for example under otho in ad 70)
CA could do more to balance between game play and historical accuracy

Thank you Caesar44!

Thank you Caesar44!

i agree with some things he said, but he also said that legionares didn't used pilum, urban cohorts and preatorian cavalry didn't exist. that's what i said isn't true ofcourse, i also think this game isn't that historic but so what, it's a game.

[caesar44]

so
doserbia is right about his argument but his examples are little problematic

[The Stranger]

yes, he is right with most things but not woth the roman army weapons and kind of soldiers.

Well only about Rome which is the subject I know best , I can say that altough some of your points are right , many others are definetly wrong , like the naming of praetorians , the unhexhistence of Praetorian and Urban cohorts , sorry but you mane various errors on the roman part , I can't list all of them , just some like the Praetorian cavalry , that did Exhist , as well as the Urban cohort that was a special cohort less prestigious than the Praetorian but numbered after them , there where only three disposition all along the empire , in Rome , in Carthage and if I well remember at Lion .... then some other incorrections here and there, I suggest you check better your fonts on the Roman subject....

Ok - I put new post and there are some explanations .
