OK...

1) Hoplite will do.

2) Barbarian (*laughs*) light unit... to borrow from our base... "Warriors"

3) I still dont understand what you dislike about the term "Immortal"

They werent immortal physically, but in the sense that the corps was never destroyed, but was always 10k strong.

Didn't the Egyptians use Slingers?

Neo: well until Alexander whipped 'em. And I know the term, I read up on it since you posted it. But you can't expect every new player to look it up, and it sounds funny (ahistorical, I mean).

Urran: No

Beatles: Alexander never defeated the corps in line battle, its complicated what happened with that. Much too complicated for an amateur historian whose beeinto the scotch and has a time of 1.21am anyways...

RGR it sounds funny I suppose in the sense that the immortals are indeed not immortal... volkov and I will discuss ideas when he recovers.

At this time, that is the only name question.

Thanks. But no it isn't, look at all the question marks in my proposal.

OK...

1) Hoplites work *nod*

2) "Warriors" may be sufficient for the "barbarian" gallic and germanic light unit.

That leaves only the Persian heavy.

Savvy?

Made some major changes, labled races for strats I think they're best suited for. I think it's good as far as game balance, but you might want to get Zeph to take a look at it. He's good for spotting stuff nobody else would think of...

History geeks may now freak out and the ahistorical-ness of it...

Neo and Volkov, please take a look and fix what you don't agree with. Also please provide a name for the Persian heavies.

Zeph, please take a look at it too.

Looks good in a strange kind of way.

The fact that you people keep pumping the Assyrians over the Macedonians kind of pisses me off but I dont know much about the game, just the history side... and it looks like the Macedonians still ahve the advantage, so i'm ok.

Let volkov look at it if/when he returns and then zeph... otherwise I say its ready.

Lets go with chariots as the Persian heavy... they werent much used in teh Greek wars, nor were they used in the east, but against the African/Middle Eastern powers they were the standard.

1. Neo -- fixed Chariots, so the troop names should be fixed.

2. Can we just switch the names of the Assyrians and the Macedons? Here are their stats:

code: Select all

Modifier     1        1       1       -1      1       1        1       1        -1      -1      1       1
Race         Offense  Defense Build   Expense Hawks   Industry Income  Scouting Bazaar  Food    Runes   Orchards
Assyrian     22%      0%      -5%     5%      0%      5%       0%      0%       5%      7%      0%      -5%
Macedon      12%      0%      6%      5%      -12%    14%      5%      -3%      3%      9%      -12%    7%

3. I suddenly had another qualm -- about Spartans. They were a city-state, not a troop type, right? Is there any chance we could find a better name for the Greek heavies?

We're taking this in the sense that the Greek city states would have fought together against common enemies... which they often did...

---

And leave the Macedonians... I think their stats (excepting the offensive numer) is a true reflection of what they should have been able to kick out.

Chaps, please take a look at the renamings and add a column if you have a suggestion.

A report in P.E? What is the world comin to?

Post by **Gen. Volkov** » Fri Mar 03, 2006 11:59 pm

I'm back. I'll take a look inna bit, checking e-mail, re-establishing contacts. My mouth has hurt like a biznitch for the last 5 days, give me a break here. Tell you what, I'll leave you a message that says you have pending tasks next time you have a mouth full of stitches and have had 4 teeth removed at once. Two days ago the blood pumping it took to sit upright hurt my teeth. I can't even eat a banana without wincing. I've been subsisting on milkshakes, ice cream and mashed potatoes.
