[Antonis]

Hi guys! The font is indeed very good and I think that it can be used. Thank you, mate. And matmo, as always, amazing pic. I could draw entire toop trees out of it. Thanks!

Wow! I'm speechless. Wonderful artwork and I think that the second one will make a fine loading screen. Thanks,man,I appreciate it.

 

[Harada]

Nice ! But it would be better without that water effetct or whatever it is

 

[matmohair1]

how about these?

Spoiler

 

[Antonis]

In comparison, the newer wallpaper is better(not saying that the previous was not good, though). Also, I like the image with the tiles(not sure how ψηφιδωτόν is called in english, sorry). I may use it as artwork, along with the first image, if it's okay with you. Thanks!

 

[matmohair1]

that's the point, there all yours, use them as you like!
you can also make signatures out of the other ones 
btw, ψηφιδωτόν = mosaic

 

[Antonis]

Ok, thanks and as you can see, I have put them already in the first page, in the artwork section. I will most likely use the one you remade for an in-game screen, as well.

And of course, mosaic. I knew but I completely forgot this word. Anyway, it's very good and fits my idea of the mod. Elements of ancient and the past combined with modern thinking and novel ideas. Very good work there!

how about these?

Spoiler

I made this one my desktop background

Anyway, what time period did they wear this armor?

Spoiler

Obviously he is wearing a bell cuirass which leads me to believe it would of been worn in the early Archaic period (I think thats when they used bell cuirass' could be wrong though). But I've never seen the armor that is on his feet, thighs and shoulders before which is why I'm confused.

Other then that, thanks for the pictures

It's quite possibly completely fictional. That author is kind of terrible and has a habit of exaggerating, making things up or misusing source material.

Oh thank you SO much for making this! The state of single player Warband action in ancient Greek has so far been beyond miserable, thanks to death of the promising Peloponnesian war. Good luck and cheers!

 

[Antonis]

@dinnerblaster: Thanks for your support, I appreciate it!

@matmohair1. Wonderful post. Some very appropriate fonts, now I will have trouble deciding what to use.
And I really was prepared to read an article, in the link, but I found out a whole book! I will see what bits I an use and everything else that catches my eye, thank you so much!

Was chariot archers in 400 BC still, and if so, will there be those?

 

[Antonis]

Quite possibly there were chariot archers(although I guess their use would be very limited) and the model of the chariot is sth that can be done(it's a model, afterall), but I cannot think of a way to properly animate it or how it can be "equipped" to the player. Recently, I took a look in some OSP Elephant models(which would be similar to chariots, because they use the "horse" inventory slot), but they had problems, because the script though of elephants as horses and I'm afraid that the same will happen with chariots. But it's a good suggestion and if I find chariots were used, I will see what I can do and ask for help to make them happen.

If you have questions about chariots i suggest you check out http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php/topic,163533.0.html

I believe they made the chariots work, and i'm sure if you are polite enough they would help you out

So that fully armoured guy, would he be the one that goes on the far right of the phalanx, since he is the only one whose right side isn't covered by another guys shield?
