Countdown to Open Beta - Eleutheroi

[The Wizard]

Ambiorix is so far out of our starting date timeframe that we can only guarantee him as a spawning general amongst the Aedui (where his is one of our many male names) and the Eleutheroi, depending on the region the general is spawned in.

P.S. Ambiorix was okay, but Julius Civilis beats him hands down

Was he the little guy in the comic, or the fat one? I assume your talking about that weird French comic, correct?

Sounds like it eh? -ix is simply an often-heard suffix of Gallic names.

No, we're not talking 'bout cunning Asterix or that gangsta Obelix, but about a real Belgae chieftain, who forged a confederacy against Julius Caesar and annihalated a couple of legions here and there before he got pwned by Caesar.

One, not couple :)

That... was kind of awkward. Why?

Well I just did that to the people of Rome as Gaul so I'd like a new target, seemed like an interesting idea for Ptolemaic Egypt.

Really I just can't play Vanilla and RTR 5.4 is now boring so while I patiently wait for EB, I have nothing better to do other than thinking non-sense to pass time.

I do wonder what would happen if some Rebels could conquer a profitable city and be left alone to expand, could they become as powerfull as the main factions? Either way, you EB guys did some great work on those units.

Oh. Heh, in French class, I always used to read those comic books instead of doing my work...

[Delenda est Carthago]

Thanks for the sig tip, consider it changed...


God i love those hammers

Yeah, ranix is great for an @sshole who wants to shag objects

On a more serious note: the barbarians should pay a bigger role then they did in RTW vanilla, IMHO. Don't you think it would make the game more interesting to, say, stop the Gallic army from taking Greece? fighting the same armys every time gets boring fast.

While Celts were painting their bodies with gliphs, running naked through the woods and fighting likewise, celebrating Neolithic customs and rituals in deep, dark and isolated forests and collecting the heads of their enemies in their pants, Greeks were building the Parthenon and the Colossus of Rhodes, developing Physics, Medicine, Monumental arquitecture, Poetry, recording History, Philosophy, Democracy, Literature, Law, Mathematics, navigating the seas for trade and cultural purposes, engineering and creating the base of what we understand actually as "human development".

Enough said.
