Links to the first and second threads

I'll open with an easy one:

Tell me in detail what these are:
Longbow
Catapult
Hoplite

 

[Tycoon101]

In Civ3:

Longbow is 4 attack, 1 defense with Invention needed to create.

Catapult is (I think) 3 bombard damage with Mathematics needed to create.

Hoplite is 1 attack, 3 defense and requires Iron Working. It is a Greece-Only unit.

Civ 3:

catapult: A:0 D:0 M:1 BS:4 R:1 ROF:1 Mathematics

What all the other guys said!!!

PS: Why is there a smiley limit?

PS: Why is there a smiley limit?

Because you don't need 14 smilies when only one will do

And it probably takes up space on the server.

Wrong games. Here's some more hints:
Centurion
Daimyo
Crusader

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Is this something related to the Total War series, because I believe those units are among the three games?

 

[Heretic_Cata]

No idea - is it old ?

Mechwarrior?

 

[Rheinmetall]

And?

XCL

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

Mechwarrior and Mechcommander?

I actually don't know much about the series, I only got to play the latter, though always wnated a shot on the actual simulator.

 

[Moff Jerjerrod]

Rheinmetall if I understand your clue correctly I thought that there were no catapults in Shogun: Total War. I know for sure that there are no catapults in Nobunaga's Ambition either unless you're refering to Nobunaga no Yabou: Kakushin.

 

[Rheinmetall]

These are indeed 'Mech chassis's. But the game in question is still in development.

 

[Kan' Sharuminar]

I'm not going to go through the games in question, as I prefer to answer the questions without google. I'll just guess the one I have played:

Mechcommander 1

 

[Rheinmetall]

This might actually be impossible to guess. It's not a commercial one.

*trying to scan Rheinmetall's mind/computer*

Argh, I need eye contact and my hacking program crashed! :j/k:
Seriously, is it Mechwarrior 2?
