Greatest thread ever

Dear God, man! Those are dread camels. Who's going to add them into MTW2?

drone 21:13 11-08-2006

You could mount cannons on those!

A bit off topic, My uncle once ran over a camel in Sudia Arabia.

Craterus 23:19 11-08-2006

I been on a camel once. It wasn't the best..

naut 07:46 11-09-2006

Like a Dreadnaught, BIG!

I'm afraid of Camels. Don't know why... I've always been fidgety around Camels and Llamas, maybe its the whole spitting thing.

I'd like them in MTW2, dammit! We'll see who's boss when those puny Crusaders realize they're facing giant camels the size of elephants!

Mooks 08:21 11-09-2006

Imagine riding one of those things!

naut 08:45 11-09-2006

Nevermind.

Isn't that a dromedaris instead of a camel? Or are all such animals called camel even if one species has one lump and the other two?

There ain't no such thing as "a dromedaris". It are all camels. WE are all camels. Even the trees are camels.

Camels, camels, camels! Camels everywhere.

Peasant Phill 15:56 11-09-2006

Serious now. In dutch there is a difference between a dromedaris (having one lump) and a kameel (having two lumps). Is there no such difference in the English language?

Sure the Inuit have maybe 50 different words for snow, but why should we Belgians and Dutch have a better lingual system to differentiate (real word?) between a certain sort of animal than the Anglo-Saksons?

dromedaris = dromedary

I think I also read once about skeletons of ancient elephants (not mamoths) that must have been about twice as high as modern elephants. Fascinating stuff.

macsen rufus 18:49 11-09-2006

Do you call them dromedaries or camels? That big you call them "SIR!"

(P Phil: Yes, English has two words, but we're too lazy to use them both

)

Craterus 19:27 11-09-2006

Dromedary or Arabian Camel = one hump
Bactrian Camel = two humps

The Stranger 19:30 11-09-2006

hmmmmmm you also have/had american camels

Scurvy 23:01 11-09-2006

camels smell really really bad.

I second that.

Craterus 23:35 11-09-2006

Yes, I'll third that.

naut 07:12 11-10-2006

Don't bad mouth camels or Mithrandir will get you.

The rajputs in India did mount cannons on camels, no kidding.

GAH!

Mithrandir is renowned for using camels excessively in MTW and his insistence on their tactical brilliance.

Fragony 13:24 11-10-2006

I have heard of that heavy duty camel whispering, I am kinda sceptical, you know any cool replay? These smelly beasts route when you sneeze at them, and they pack no real punch.

I'm sure someone has one somewhere.

KukriKhan 15:04 11-10-2006

They scare horses. I prefer my Camels in a soft pack.

So it says, but charge them with even the lightest of cavalry and they break. They only work if horses are pinned down, definatily not a very effective anti cav unit imvho, even militia sergeants chop horses better. I use them because I like to roleplay my games a bit, and the muslim units look so awesome
