    Default Why are my Romans so Greek?

    I downloaded 0.74 for the first time last night and played a couple turns as the Romani.

    I can't help but notice one of my Generals wearing a Greek style helmet in his photos (C. Aurelius Cotta). When I fought a battle, my general gave a speech about the Greeks!

    What's the deal?

    Culture swap residue.

    Romans are "Seleucids" and Seleucids are "Romans", the cities also appear to be swapped (walls and buildings).

    Will be fixed, and hopefully decently ironed-out as much as possible, when the 1.5 ported version is released.

    A silly question: If I don't have BI, can I play the 1.5 ported version with my current 1.2? Cos I refused to buy BI when I saw the units they had in it.

    Isn't BI 1.6? All you'll need to do is download an update.. no BI required.
    When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then the gentleman? From the beginning all men by nature were created alike, and our bondage or servitude came in by the unjust oppression of naughty men. For if God would have had any bondsmen from the beginning, he would have appointed who should be bound, and who free. And therefore I exhort you to consider that now the time is come, appointed to us by God, in which ye may (if ye will) cast off the yoke of bondage, and recover liberty. - John Ball

    Only references i have found to Roman geeks is this picture. I found it from Microsoft library under all judicial writs. I know it could be debated does this have any historical value and acn it be trusted. Author is, Gaius Julius Gates and book is, how to make easy bucks by selling carbage.



    Yes, I was very bored. Is this spam. Yes, will have to do for answer.
