Well, I've been taking modeling lessons for a little while, so I AM learning to model. Thx for all of the input you guys

[Eonwe]

Think you could ask though? Maybe some factions could have siege ladders, Cautapults, and siege towers?

just a quick reminder:

Sparta had no walls.
so in this mod they shouldn't have any walls as well.

why didn't they had walls, you ask?

well, they never needed them. they totally relied on there elite Warriors.

[Eldarion25]

Ya, I know, but Athens and Persia did.

Spartans thought that walls, just like arrows, were cowardly.





It still would've been smart to have them anyways .

[Beleg]

they kinda did have walls

they were made out of their fallen oponents bodies

[Eldarion25]

Not for the city of Sparta, though. They never actually build real walls like Athens

[Taralom]

i think the Sparta faction should have some Catapults as siege weapons

Persia maybe like siege wizards and elephants
Athens... siege ladders and balista's perhaps

[Guess Who]

work on 1 faction get that completed then start the others

[Taralom]

not if you are working out the Tech's

[Eonwe]

If you played RTW you will find out that their were spearthrowers called Peltasts. Will they make a apperance in the mod?

[Eldarion25]

Yes'a (I love that game )

Sparta thought thet ranged weapons were cowardly, so they would be more likely to have battering rams and ladders, with Athens owning the Peltests and catapults (Greek catapults looked more like large crossbows that today's catapults)

[Eonwe]

So has a Rhino or Persion Elephant been made. Has two models been made so Halbarad could give us a model. Also was Feudal Knights model added. I do not want this mod to die.

Also will sparta be able to build a inn or capture one to produce Daxos, and Arcadian Spearmen.

[Eldarion25]

Yes, even though the Inn will be changed into some kind of meeting-area for soldiers.

I'm getting some buildings (possibly), Feudal's model is being skinned, I found a different Elephant, and if we get those both ingame, we might have Halbarad's model. Thermy Map is almost done (Skirmish-only one, campaign one later), and the models will be showcased there. I've just been really inactive (like many others) due to school.

Yes'a (I love that game )

catapults (Greek catapults looked more like large crossbows that today's catapults)

that should be easy


*points at isengard ballista thingy*

[Grizzlez]

Im also practising modelling, therefore when this gets underway there will be quite a lot coming

[halbarad]

why not just make this mod soooo much simpler and stick to the movie and just make a spartan and a persian faction, at least to start with.

once you have done this you can think about making up totally new units that werent in the movie, that way you dont have to worry about concepts and stuff and also you have an achievable goal (you could argue that yours is achievable but...)

remember KISS; keep it simple, stupid...

[Grizzlez]

I have to regret i cannot work on this mod anymore, during the inactiveness of it i have taken on other projects and do not have the time to help, sorry

[Eldarion25]

@Grizzlez

Ah, well

@Halbarad, it will just start with Sparta and Persia, with Athens added on later, so we have been keeping it simple . The talking is just ideas for the later faction.

[Eonwe]

It would be nice if you could be part-time then no help at all.

[lycan]

this mods dead!

i dont see it being revived :( anyway still got wars of the east and RJ to play
