    TosaInu: Please visit https://forums.totalwar.org/?q=node/118 for the content.

    Welcome to our on-line library, a tool for quick reference as well as in-depth research for players of TW games and mods.

    There are seven titles:
    1. General Resources
    2. Ancient
    3. Roman
    4. Sengoku Jidai
    5. Medieval
    6. Early Modern
    7. Napoleonic
    There are subtitles for Nations and Empires if relevant to the games. Every (sub)title has headings for Background, Warfare, Maps and Primary Sources.

    Legend

    Each link is accompanied by an indicator of the site's language(s) (colored orange), the name of the .org member who contributed it (in small print) and a summary description of content and host (in Italics).

    Some links are marked superb because they are worth visiting in their own right.

    Some links occur under several headings – that’s because they’re the best.


    Please help

    This sticky is far from complete and I need your help. Please consider corrections and additions, or criticise the whole concept. Nit-pickers be my guest, I’m one of you. And please report any dead links.

    Great idea. Thanks for volunteering Adrian.

    Seriously, if you (or anyone else) post it, I'll sticky it. Your proposed organizational layout seems good to me. The only suggestion I'd have is to give credit to the patron who provided the link.

    Seriously: thank youo, Gregoshi. I will gradually edit my proposal above, adding detail and incorporating patrons's suggestions for lay-out etcetera, until the whole thing looks acceptable to everybody. All input is welcome, of course.

    It pains me, of course, to see the Kingdom of the Netherlands next to Snorri's Heimskringla and the Heiliges Roemisches Reich Theutscher Nation.

    Seriously, I'll take a close look at all of it and try to sort it out according to period etcetera. Please bear with me (and have patience) because I'm going to need your help.

    I suppose guys like Sigurd of Fafnesbane, Pindar, Hurin Rules, Aurelian and many others will have ideas and links to add. This might become a Frankenstein monster and we may have to shoot it... but after some pruning and the scaling back to generic links it might be manageable after all.

    Thanks again, Mouzafphaerre.

    To clear possible misunderstanding in advance, this is a relevant segment from my bookmarks file. There are intersections with the Monastry but that's all. I also have a few hundred "unclassified" links.

    Translation of the titles and subtitles will help I guess? [DONE ]

    Gotcha, Mouzafphaerre! Thanks for the complment, m8, but... now that you're on-line, could you give me a hand with the Ottomans and Islam please? Look into the links and do your darndest, I'm counting on you to balance our outlook and insert some Mediterranean condiments into that bleak Western European porridge.

    La découverte des Mongols au XIII° siècle

    A rather interesting french site about the Mongols, with a lot of links to english and french websites.


    The Black Death

    I think you can guess the topic by yourself ;-)

    The Scythians

    I can't really tell you if your list for the Hellenistic Kigdoms is complete, as my knowledge on that topic is kinda limited.

    A rather interesting french site about the Mongols, with a lot of links to english and french websites.


    The Black Death

    I think you can guess the topic by yourself ;-)

    The Scythians

    I can't really tell you if your list for the Hellenistic Kigdoms is complete, as my knowledge on that topic is kinda limited.
    Thanks again, particularly for the Mongol link index. I'm browsing and comparing the stuff that's in there to see how I can best make everything in there accessible to English readers, but we may have no other choice than linking to a French page. Bah, honi soit &cetera.

    Has this link been added to the collection yet?

    It's an excellent collection of essays and book reviews by a certain F. E. Smitha. It's not superb -- some of the essays' factual accuracy I personally dispute, as well as the articles' neutrality. But further quite a good resource.

    I have never heard of the site, but then there are many things I have never heard of.

    Smitha (if that is his real name) is clearly not a professional historian, but most of the sites I link to are not professional and some amateur sites are far better than professional ones. As long as the origin of the content is transparent and the site doesn't contain obvious propaganda or gaffes, it's okay with me. But I'm open to suggestion and if members find obvious fault with a site I'll scrap it.

    So please tell us, what inaccuracies or bias did you find in Smitha's?

    Excellent list

    Here a few links relating to the Classical world, I didn’t notice (or perhaps missed, I hope these are not repeats).

    http://www.stoa.org/projects/demos/home Demos, Excellent site covering the Democracy of Classical Athens. A nice collection of articles covering the structure of the Athenian government, references, and links to Perseus. It's also slowly adding related article that are normally only available in subscription journals.

    http://www.stoa.org/sol/ Suda On-Line, Project to provide and online annotated version of the Suda (both greek and translated versions). Project to provide an online annotated version of the Suda (both Greek and translated versions). The only problem here is that more such projects for other texts are not being funded.

    http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/ Early Church Fathers and some other Late Texts, The site has a 19th century collection of translations by T. & T. Clark, with some additional related works now out of copyright. The site includes a couple of non-Christian authors that were apparently included in the collections. For example the only translations of Cornelius Nepos and Justinus I have found are here.

    Well, I must admit that those faults I've found in his essays concern areas that I happen to know a lot about, such as Mongol history and Persian history. Especially in the Mongol history he does not attempt to take away hindsight all that much, leaving the reader with an impression of a brutal people who's favorite pasttime was killing, while that is certainly not true.

    It's a small fault though, as far as I'm concerned. Many of the articles have brought new and logical insights into things I knew relatively little about before, such as the reasons for the final decline of the Byzantine empire. It's quite a good site.

    Amazing article about the Kurdish enterprises in the Black Sea and Indian Ocean. Especially the latter is hugely interesting. Posted about this a year back, but this article is much more complete than the concise version (by Cyrus Shahmiri at All Empires) I posted.

    This site is the best I've found for staying up to date on new archaeological/historical finds and research. It's updated daily. Check it out if you haven't already. http://www.archaeologica.org/NewsPage.htm

    Roman Army Talk is a great forum for discussing Roman military history. It also includes forums for Ancient Greece, enemies of Rome, etc. http://www.romanarmy.nl/rat/
