I am pretty sure it would be different, and should be fun... I mean, that is why (for one reason or so) Arch is creating it...
Hmm, the turtle formation, I think, gets stuck a lot sometimes...

I don't mean to offend Elim or myself, but it wouldn't really be Romans vs Romans.............
More like alternate reality Romans vs Romans of our history.

Last I knew it only had 4 soldiers, but I haven't played this......... version 4.0? 3.2? or whatever?

What I want to do is put this against the upcoming (supposedly) historical romans...I think it would be great...  Bomb

Yah it's coming. :)

Well...no offense to anyone, but it is just Glest, so...think of it in a "Glest Perspective"... oh wait, what's that...  :|
Anyways, we'll see, right?  :|  :thumbup:

Excellent faction Eliminator  :thumbup:

A good selection of units and good icons.

Finally two suggestions:
The guard tower builds a little too quickly making it easy to turtle with this faction.
The feather upgrades takes a VERY long time to complete!

The feather up grade takes a long time because it makes it so the birds can fly faster and you can then make long bow men.

Can this argument stop! Just use Historical Ill use Fantasy and that is that OK?

Maybe, but a shorter upgrade isn't worth an update.

Yes, sort of. The ballista can attack ground and air but it is the anti air unit.

Oh I remember now, too bad my only mechanic was killed  after he built the golden statue and gladiator's school...(maybe wrong names sorry) he was killed by some fire archers...then I kept producing longbowmen and then a turtle formation which took forever, after that ...I won.  :O
I guess I must try again...  :thumbup:

OK, great.  :) The mechanics can also morph to a battering ram.

I didn't reach very far in the technology but I still won with the romans, I played another game and this time I did way better.
The turtle formations are good against indians because they lack much splash attacks.

It gives less damage then the normal balsta and can go for both ground and air.

Err...fine, but it makes it less fun actually, as strong as Roman, Fantasy Romans, already is...  :|
I guess I'll be looking for Historical Romans now...unless, if it is a long time from now...  :|
