[GMT]

Already saw it last week

I'm not buying BI. Unless EB will use it, that is.

[Dago]

Yeah i`ve see that already, it`s pitiful."Priests inpire nearby troops to acts of bravery through their prayers' so this priest are going to be 'catholic druids' with the same special ability. Heh, it will look odd if they will pray on the battlefield.......

[RandyKapp]

Cool.

[Moros]

Cool.

LOL

Will you people stop overreacting? It's one bloody unit for god's sake!

I agree with you completely pal, everyone is saying things like "look at that im not getting BI", "if that it there im nor getting it", one unit which i think is alright isnt goin to spoil a game. Mostr people who are syaing i will not get it, will probably get it. People need to stop overeacting to one little thing that is in the game.

[RandyKapp]

LOL

Im not expecting realism from it, its just gona be stupid fun. Hence, cool.

you've been gone to long Jerby, you've got to catch up a lot

[jerby]

i know. i just got back from my 3 week holiday (italian people drive like idiots).
i saw it, and cried.

"Will you people stop overreacting? It's one bloody unit for god's sake!"-
yes, it's one unit. but this is not the only one, and its crap, and it wields a damn CLUB! there ought to be a lot of moddability to compensate it. i swear to god i'll instantly quit my campaign if i see 1 unit of fighting-druid/priests/women.

Well, in the middle ages (for example at the battle of hastings) priests and monks fought with clubs (because they werent allowed to break the skin or cause bloodshed, and they thought they were being clever by using clubs instead) but the idea of them forming a 'unit' or having a line of priests charge the enemy is a bit ridiculous. Still, I think that given the dark depths of my expectations of BI, it might be surprisingly fun in a stupid sort of way.

I'll make an army of monks and charge them at a line of orager-chariots firing flaming bombs in the middle of the night.

It'll be crazy.

As i said a few weeks ago: wait until it is released, look if you can modify it and then tell everybody else, what you think about it

[The Wizard]

Oh my, it's the ancient Ku Klux Klan! :0

The Roman comitanenses show a misunderstanding of the thought process of a 4th-5th century Roman emperor. Sigh.

Hey wiz, whats the news on the preview(s)?

[The Wizard]

Back to normality this week.

[Steppe Merc]

Greek_fire19, they fought with maces, not clubs, maces.

[jerby]

interesting: in order not to 'shed blood' they choose a weapon that causes a hammeradge

[The Wizard]

There is nothing more delightful than a bloodthirsty clergyman!

[jerby]

yeah, some things never change...

[Zawath]

Stop whining. If you don't want to see your priests fighting, keep them behind your men. Priest fighters are much better than priests that just stand there while nasty barbarians hack them to pieces.

[Moros]

are they?
