And how long did it take you to build these?
And there seems to be a few holes. What did you use to cut the trees? Where did you get the food? Where did you get the canvas? And as for the huts we live in.... Well, this is the upscaled version ---Ill post the link when I find it--- http://www.southwestforest.org.uk/roundhouse/index.html http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/british_prehistory/launch_ani_roundhouse.shtml |

Originally posted by siredmond Like I said , once we had all the materials needed we put it together in about a day and a half. And thats much more work than is needed for a dung hut...
We used axes and saws to cut the trees, pole skinners to remove the bark, wooden dowel rods and twine to hold it together no nails.
As for the food and the canvas, we bought it of course. We were, after all, kids. They werent likley to let us run arround with deadly weapons hunting. Not to mention that the camp was on a huge nature reserve near a military base. The romans would have purchased all that they needed as well,if they couldnt make it.
As for the huts in game being a up scale version, they sure dont look like it..... they even look like a short circular wall of mud and dung, with a few upright sticks in it. And sticks tied to the upright sticks in angles and fastened at the top to make a roof. Then covered with straw. Think back to when you were a kid making sand castles, those mud walls would be nothing. Then sticking a few stick in in all around it, would take just a few minutes. Tieing up the rafters would be the hardest part but would hardly take more than 10-20 mins. Then about another 20-30 mins to layer the roof with straw. A few tweeks here and there and ta da, done. And it is realistic to say that it would take days to make it?...... not in my book or the book of reality. Pluss dont forget that all of these people would be making these and repairing them on a regular basis., not like they were permanent structures. Side by side they would slap one up in no time flat and make us look like we are being lazy the whole time. And the fact that this is just a game.....reality is fun to an extent but we are playing these games to escape that in the first place. |

ok guys you are going off topic I want to start out by saying that i love this game because of the historical background, and its historical accuracy with the armor, weapons, everything. But when it comes down to it being a practical game its not...how long has the game been out now? more then a year? wouldn’t u think well established legions should be able to actually look like real legions dressed up in real roman armor, but the game hasn’t changed at all. Its the same old naked, buckler, spear wielding combat which is plain wrong... I'm a SWG vet who loved the pre cu with its awesome sandbox style game play, im for realism but you've got to draw the line somewhere so the game can be enjoyed to its full potential, right? like i said before u might as well take the authentic, roman armor, helms out of the game since the majority of players (which is below 100 people) will not wear them... This game could of been freaking awesome, whenever I watch Rome or Gladiator it makes me want to play this game, but alas, of course its not the same. I have yet to see someone wear legionary armor, I mean wouldn’t it bee sooo cool if your armor would designate your rank just like in roman history; all those special helms for centurions, generals, etc its not there, and I guess even if it was we wouldn’t see it used till 2010.… Like SWG this game had huge potential but its going nowhere right now...no practical person/gamer would want to spend 5 days making 120 rings for a set of armor they will never wear, sorry

Originally posted by SWGforreva It seems you've missed out on a few updates and "bug" reports. Rank and status is actually indicated by a players clothes and/or armor and weapons in RV. Many have accidentally become outscasts or something like that for wearing the wrong kinds of toga/armor/weapon among the Romans. And the first segmentatas was made just a few days ago, very nice looking! And since armor ql and things like that is getting much more attention now I think we will soon see bands of fully equipped legionnaires. :) |

Originally posted by Zakke87 Well u are correct, actually yesterday i saw Victorious in Segementa and it indeed looked very nice. He was looking like a real roman legionary for the first time...so i guess there is progress but it sure as hell is too slow, because everyone knows Victorious is not crazy enough to wear that into battle..so as far as im concerned its not useful only for braggin rights  |

Originally posted by SWGforreva Just wait until the next combat update that seems to be coming soon. :) I hope it'll get better. Anyway, my guess it that it will get even better when the population increases and all the non-border towns gets heavily populated, just that will make the world so much more authentic and fun. Shane, I know you just want the game to improve, but you are really starting to sound like the common forum troll. I understand that you are frustrated based on all your posts, but just lay back and observe, see where the game goes. |
