Well, the romans adapted wapons more than they invented them, I guess... but after all, they weren't trying to be known as inventors, they were trying to build an army to conquer and defend... a lot... and in that they were pretty effective the way they were doing thins...
herm there where 2 pila a heavy one and a light one i believe the light one was keltik (the same kind that the gaesatae use) and the heavy one i got no clue (probably keltik or etruscan anyway)
as for the corvus i believe the original idea came from queen teuta of illirya where should would tie 4 lembos together and make a boarding manouver the romans just adopted the best way they could find to turn sea batles into land batles the same way as the illiryans did except that punii marines had axes so using boarding hooks was inefective and they went crazy on the subject altough the corvus+storms (a combination) sunk more roman boats then the carthies in the entire 1st punic war wich proves they sucked at invention (not to mention the corvus seems strangly something more suited for archimedes of syracuse so maybe they took the idea from the mythical claw that protected syracuse´s harbour)
they where good at adapting no doubt about it but they used trial and error
Yeah I've mentioned those as the only ones I could find they really "added" something...
As far as I'm concerned the real roman weapons were politics and copulating like rabbits, coupled with the fact of not killing eachother as often as the rest of societies...
well could you sort of compare Rome to the cities it surrounded? they formed cute little alliances and stuff but mostly fought between eachother, it just seems that Rome somehow could exert huge influence and dominance in a way not possible in the Pelopenese
Another update
Well, when they are low polygon, walls and roofs aren't so hard to model . . . - Tanit

Buildings. Yay!
Call me Ruma. Puupertti Ruma.
i don't want to get too excited but i do love the idea of not fighting in medieval cities
btw, have wonders been discussed at all? i know they will be in as buildings and such, but i mean battlemap models or little symbols representing where they are? it would be so cool to fight in MTW2 engine in the Pyramids, which i don't think are even in MTW2

A woodcutters unit perhaps? That could explain the trembling of the forest.

Just a random question - will EB2 use the features of the Kingdoms expansion or will it be MTW2 only?
GOGO twitter, work in my 2 fav EB1 factions (ok, iberia don't mean Lusos but who care's, I'm all for another/s iberian faction/s)!
I saw that too but thought it was way too obvious and that should be some hidden meaning elsewhere, probably what is writen in the chainsaw (that I couldnt read). XD
