Ashurbanipal vs. Kamehameha

I dunno, Harald seems pretty comfortable moving around in his armour. He isn't slow and doesn't seem too hindered as he leaves the ship. In fact, the movements of both his legs and arms seem normal (and very energetic, which means the weight isn't bothering him). He definitely isn't slowed down much, if at all, by all the stuff he wears on himself.

Also vikings didn't lack tactics (CHARGE and KILLMAIMBURN, and SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE and BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD are all legit and many times tried out tactics, rarely failing). In fact, they were very smart people.

He would definitely beat Monty up and he'd be one of the top tier fighters. Genghis I think would be the winner (horse + bow = hard to beat), unless everyone got weaponry of his time, in which case Bismarck wins because of experience, strangling and having a gun. Haile and Gandhi may've come later and had access to a bit more advanced guns, but they were pacifists.

It's been really fun over these past months to bide time in this thread to wait for Brave New World. It's kept me from insanity for a long time. (or at least contained most most of it!)

Somebody should play a game of BnW with Ashurbanipal vs Kamehameha on a duel map and post the results to this thread. It's time to settle this debate once and for all.

...Oh look, you killed the thread, too bad that I have a minor degree in necromancing.

I think the arrival of BNW killed this thread.

Hmmm, The tablet is menacing, but the spear has longer reach. The beard however, has a slight intimidation factor but may prove to be a hinderance if wrapped around Kamehamehas spear. The lion might be a bit of a game changer tho

Intimidation factor? Two words: War Dance. Does Ash's beard give a 10% penalty to adjacent units? I don't think so.

So wait, wouldn't that mean that this was just a boiling pot of all the hype for the expansion, which, when it was released, caused all the hype to disapper into the air, leaving it cooler than Harold's freezer in Greenland?

Damn...

Shaka's war theme can troll his opponents into listening to a heroic fanfare featuring himself, only to find out that at the 1:36 mark, his opponents would be annoyed to death: http://www.geoffknorr.com/audio/STB42CC/BNW/Shaka_War.mp3

Me too! His war theme is that awesome!

This thread really needs to be brought back!

I've noticed that Ashurbanipal's siege towers look like parade floats. Does anyone agree?
