Hellenistic Times Scenario

[The Last Conformist]

Thebes was rebuilt in 316 BC, but never became politically important again. There's no reason to include the Sacred Band or other special Theban unit.

 

[Takhisis]

Well then, I´m back from school (again) and I´ve found out a little more about it. Thebes was burned by the Macedonians, but Boeocia still was an important part of Greece. Perhaps I should put Larissa (northern Greece [or more properly, Hellas]) and also Eubea.

 

[Takhisis]

Did Rodas have any special infantry force? Its naval power was tremendous (the Kolossos will build a Trieires every 10 turns) but I´m not so sure about their land-based army. Can anyone help me?

 

[Kyriakos]

it should be named Rodos I am not sure of its force though. You could run a search for "Demetrius Poliorcetes" since he was the one who besieged Rodos. Btw Poliorcetes= besieger

 

[The Last Conformist]

According to how we usually transliterate ancient Greek, it's "Rhodos".

 

[Takhisis]

Well, I put "Rodas" because it´s the Spanish name, and I found many translations, including "Rhodai" "Rhodes", etc.
I´ll find out more about Demetrius Poliorcetes; but I think I´ll give the Rodians only the standard land units, plus their Rodian Slingers (amphibious) and their special fleet, since their most important battles were fought by their fleets, which were superb.

 

[Takhisis]

Well, teph and I have just managed to get a way of making munits so I´ll be making a few of the ones I asked earlier myself.

 

[Takhisis]

Are the Pharaonic Guards from RTW historically accurate?

 

[Takhisis]

Well, I must say that everything´s fine by now. So far, so good. I´ve made some munits (only the Egyptian Archers have been uploaded), Orthanc´s working on the Catapult Tetraires, and Xen´s looking some things up for me. TLC made some wonderful mercs resources as well.
to all of you who´ve been helping me.

 

[Kyriakos]

I too have made some mercenery recourses, a way back. In the form of two hoplite helmets

 

[Takhisis]

Hey baron, have you emptied your PM box?

 

[Kyriakos]

i have now...

 

[Takhisis]

All right then... I was asking, is Egyptoi trieires/dieires/etc. all right?

 

[Takhisis]

Well, Orthanc´s made the Catapult Tetraires . That leaves out the Catapult Trieires and the Catapult Hexaires/Heptaires. I´m working on the munits that still need lots of desincronization and i´m [trying] to make a flavor Ballista for Egypt.
Any offers of help?

 

[Hamah]

Check this thread, maybe you could use something from it if you ask the creator. It´s a project that never saw light.

 

[Takhisis]

Thanks. varwnos already told me. I´m pretty busy at the moment. Have lotsa things to do.
P.S.: River or Boca?

 

[Takhisis]

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiii! I´m back! After an absence of about 20 seconds, I´m gonna say quite a few things:

• I´ve started the rest of the Egyptian munit pack. I´ll upload it in a few days.
• Dad´s presenting his thesis tomorrow, so after that, the computer will be free more time and I´ll start some serious unit-making!
• Why doesn´t anybody post here any longer?

 

[Kyriakos]

the ships, which are neutral (obviously) will all be Egyptiakai <name>. For example: Egyptiakai Trieires.
for neutral stuff:
egyptian: egyptiakai
macedonian: makedonikai
persian: persikai
etc

 

[Takhisis]

Thanks!
I&#180;ll traduce the stuff, have lunch -at 5:22 PM- and then do some more munit-making.

 

[Gunner]

How's this coming? Are you still gonna work on it with Punic Wars?
