Countdown to Open Beta - Swêbōz

[bodidley]

Then perhaps we should spice things up with some ravishing Cimbri warrior women

[Sarcasm]

Here we go again.....don't you guys play team sports? Or you just don't shower?

[Aymar de Bois Mauri]

But I've read that the gaesatae often painted themselves with woad before battle, and the Romans often asserted that as well (not that I trust their tall tales )

Not by 270BC. 400BC yes, but not much after that.

[DemonArchangel]

Use the loincloth for f*ck's sake!

[Sarcasm]

Why?

Yeah I've used a gang shower, and I made damn sure to hang onto my soap

Our installation routine should provide an option for those of you who faint at the thought of swinging twigs & berries to have a loincloth.

The Celts did paint themselves with woad before battles, but these were not tattoos. Different tribes used different amounts of woad. Our Celtic group would have to talk about the Gaesatae in particular.

[Quietus]

Celts did not use tatoos. And just to ease your mind about accuracy...

Gallic warrior # 2: "Helloooooo!? Anybody picked up my friend's precious pajamas? This is not funny!

I was under the impression that Celts used copper to achieve the blue ink that were used for tattoos...

Sorry. I meant Gauls, not Celts. Britons still used paintings (woad) by 270BC.

Am I the only one who laughed me ass off at that?

[Samurai Waki]

God I just about have a Total Wargazm every time I check up on this mod. I've lost almost complete interest in RTR, keep up the kick-ass work guys.

[Lord Tomyris Reloaded]

I am so glad you'll provide an option not to have that evil loincloth! Historical accuracy all the way man!

[Jebus]

[Ranika]

Some Gaesatae did still paint themselves, but not all. Most Gauls, except the Birtuares (Pictones) and some Lemovices, and the aforementioned Gaesatae, did not paint themselves by 270 BC. Britons and Goidils used woad, copper dyes, and numerous other paints (almost all blue), but Noricenes used orange-ochre type dyes. Caledonians, however, actually did tattoo themselves, not just paint on.

Which way will be the default? Or do you know yet

[Wikingus]

If you can't handle historical accuracy, why don't just play vanilla RTW then?

[Sfwartir]

Hehe..I agree! Great faction, once again - can EB ever fail? Three cheers for the EB team!

[Dux Corvanus]

Ehem... I shower alone... and never play with naked guys...

Hi, so do you also live here? He he, we are lucky guys. Many people like visiting archaeological sites, we actually live in one...

I was born in Gadir, but I live in Kotinoussa.

[Temple]

People, the germanic tribes look awesome. Just awesome.

Oh, and it's always nice to see some hard-core nudity in a wargame! I say bring it on!

[Copperhaired Berserker!]

Brilliant. Absoulty Brillant. I bow to you,EB

[Valuk]

Nice germans... But no armor i guess its going to be a hard job playing as them since compared to the Aedui they have a large number of light to medium type of units.
Its really strange since i always thought of germans as being these chainarmoured shock troops and not as skirmishers

[SaFe]

just looking into this nice thread to let you know, that you've seen only 9 of 18 available units.
Speculation could begin...

[eadingas]

Yeah, I mean, we haven't even shown you the Super Elite Thor Stormtroopers of Doom, with heavy plate armor, composite longbows and 20 ft long pikes...
oops.
;)

[Dux Corvanus]

I was born in Gadir, but I live in Kotinoussa.

With housing prices rising this way in Gadir, soon I'll have to search an apartment in Kotinoussa, too.

(For all those who do not know what Kotinoussa is, it's the ancient name of the León Island, where the town of San Fernando lies today -near Gadir. There was a big necropolis and a small settlement in ancient times there.)

As ever eadingas is totally wrong with the super-elite troops.
Thors Stormtroopers have no composite longbows - they have ballista that fires lighning bolts and also the warriors wearing super metal armour.
