There is not really a standardised definative aproach to specific carthaginian weapons or armour, the nation of carthage used many mercenarys, rest assured though there will be many carthaginian type shields and such, as for weapons, gladius hispania, and falcatas, well there are more then one style of falcata so I hope to get in a few, if you know of any other carthaginian weapons and armour please feel free to elaborate with a reliable source.Chilly5 said:It appears to me that this guy has forgotten all about carthaginian weapons and armour, and would rather take a Greco-Spartan vs Roma Punic war approach.

it will drop you right in the begining of the 2nd punic war.Tuckles said:I was reading about the Punic Wars on Wikipedia and now I've got some questions:
Which of the 3(apparently) wars will it focus on?
Also, I pose the same question as the others: Why are there greek weapons?
It's a battle between Rome and the Phoenician city-state of Carthage isn't it?
although alot of is was fabricated for the purpose of the game. The Old kingdom egyptians pissed me off. i wanted Ptolematics, not Ramses II!!Merlkir said:I totally dig kids throwing in knowledge they learnt from RTW

Yes...but what's your excuse for SPARTAN items? Sure Rome and Carthage had greek mercs, but I highly doubt many, if any, to a notable degree, of spartans were among their ranks.papacapjack said:There is not really a standardised definative aproach to specific carthaginian weapons or armour, the nation of carthage used many mercenarys, rest assured though there will be many carthaginian type shields and such, as for weapons, gladius hispania, and falcatas, well there are more then one style of falcata so I hope to get in a few, if you know of any other carthaginian weapons and armour please feel free to elaborate with a reliable source.Chilly5 said:It appears to me that this guy has forgotten all about carthaginian weapons and armour, and would rather take a Greco-Spartan vs Roma Punic war approach.
Lol, how about a mod about the Pubic wars?DJNad said:When I first read this thread name at 1 o'clock in the morning I thought "Oh, cool.... puking wars. We get to vomit at our enemies.....". I thought it might be a mod devoted to silliness, which I would personally love ..... but no *sighs*
